then i guess the guy in the black camaro who passed me on the right (i was
on the right hand side of the parade lap!) in the grass from 2 cars behind
me at the start of the sunday race at the jefferson 500 was a bit too
enthusiastic?
to say the very least i was not amused!
could we be looking at problems with the way the entrants are being chosen
, instructed or diciplined in the brian redman series?
i was rather "freaked out" running 2 , 1 hour enduros with trans am cars,
the "E" jags and other rather quick cars in my trusty saab and yet i
managed to point evryone by and keep myself out of harm's way.
it's a similar mix of fast cars i ran with back in march at sebring but at
summit point the course is much narrower and quite a bit shorter in length.
could this be an interesting beginning of reviewing the run groups or
entrants being offered with brian's races?
