I was following your line, we got to the traffic sooner than expected. I wasn't going to cut in on you when we already had traffic to get around.

Hmpf, I can honestly say I don't remember the traffic at that turn at all, when it happened. Your safest bet would have been to hang back however, and see how I dealt with the traffic, and try to take an alternate line.

They were there. That's what I was trying to do, but they were going slower in the turn than I (we'd) thought so when you slowed down, it was chain reaction.

Meh, wish I had my film from that damn run. It was a fun race, and I was looking forward to going back and forth with you. I honestly wondered what had happened after I never saw you again, and didnt know until I saw Jon's video. Ah well, for next time :-p

Yeah, I was pissed we were in different groups, and your group (seemingly) didn't have much challenge for you. That's why when we got the last race, which I'm sorry,
having ran several events myself, is WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE, was stupid.

The top 5 from both groups idea would have fared much better, but I digress.


I look forward to going at it with you again. And doing some karting as well.

A packed field is fun. I just wish we were closer on time so we could have had a huge group running together. 2-3 wide and passing every lap would have been a blast (if we could keep from wrecking.)
