After working on the car like i have been, i'm shocked I had any left. I never knew how you got thru at Rattlesnake. I'm still not sure. but thet really held me up.
I had fast lap that race and for race 2 (the one I broke on).
I had a 100% great time even w/ the car issues.

Funny, I was watching your video, and kept thinking, "stop now, or now. Ok, now". Strange that it died in almost the same spot on the previous lap. It's tough when you think it'll start up again just like it did before. I better understand your situation now.
I'm glad you kept the video running. It's interesting how much faster we passed you the first time, vs the second. I didn't see you until after I'd turned in.
Also interesting how spread out the field was after only 3 laps, which I think was a lap before the other meyhem.

The first thing I always admit is I too make mistakes. This was one of them. If anyone in the field has a problem w/ the "red mist", it is me. The first clue was when it died the first time and once it refired, I was driving mad. Being that it has been doing this since April 2012, and never left me stopped on track, I didn't think it would this time either.
Nothing you guys did made me feel unsafe. I was watching every car approach in the mirror though. I did learn the corner workers never called for a recovery truck for me. Not until very, very late in the race.
I gotta learn when to "give up".
