Tony said it Man. We really had a great Triumph showing.
In the midst of our own awesome battle, we passed a bunch of cars by using
an impressive drivers edge.
Smart race tact, allowed us to pass several faster cars by thinking about
when to make the right moves.
Passing and pulling away from that Camero took pushing the limit of my car
to a new level.
And caused the damn thing to overheat.
Pulling out on the last couple laps was a tough decision. But with water
soaking my feet and temp up at 250 it was the right choice.
This was one of my best races ever and handing the trophy over to my pal
Tony was ok by me.
Great race Tony..
We showed even the muscle car crowd that you just don't mess us Triumphs!
