Calvin said it was a bit of a LATE move. What the coverage didn't show is us leavin the corner before where the Mustang got sideways and in the middle of the track ... I came over the hill on his outside ... And he comes back over running me
wide all the way through Thunder Valley leading into that turn. He then quickly moves back over to the normal line at the last minute ... We were both already committed
And it was too late...
Was I an angel.... No
Could I have backed off and let him go.... Probably
But with 10 minutes left... Our battle is fighting cars with more torque and hp and crappy tire wear....his tires were shot an he was lossing positions.
If I waited...it woulda took me another 1-2 laps to get a chance to get around.
Gotta fight for every inch of pavement and I hate blocking.
Ive been on the other end of that battle to many times.
Is what it was.... Hard racing with minutes to go.
