    TWS, 1yr anniversary of Varner's Winged Flight....

    With this being the one year anniversary of his NEARLY acrobatic race, I got a video from a guy who raced at VIR with NASA this weekend that brought back this memory and I felt I should share it.....

    www.aggie97.com/chad.asx right-click, save as....suggest watching in media player.

    Let's be smart this weekend guys.....

    Hmm, looked like there was a waving yellow flag and still he got punted? I think I saw old sapphire up a few cars ahead of this incident driver later in his video

    Yeah, waving yellow and the cobra driver tried diving under Chad which caused the incident.....I am sorry but I think if I was put on my roof like that....someone would need to see a dentist on Monday!

    Apparently current Factory Five drivers can't see yellow flags and former Factory Five drivers can't see green flags. :?

    You would think with a fully open cockpit they should see the f'n world in detail!!!! Maybe they sit so low or maybe they just feel compelled to drive beyond the car and driver because AI cars are faster???

    The guy driving the blue GPC vette that missed the standing start green @ Hallett. He was the same driver (then a Factory Five driver) that caused the damage to both Glenn and Rob's cars at the first event last year.
