[Shotimes] FW: [911] Smoking Tauruses (fwd)

[Tom Smith]

Ron,

I have some great in car video of taunting this guy around the
track. At one point he lifts the go peddle and I almost run
into him. He was so inconsistant around the track he was
driving me nuts. You can see him look in the rear view and
all he can see is my arm in the air pointing to him to let
me by and the corner workers waving blue flags. Of course he
just slams the the go peddle and I ride
his butt some more corners. ;-)  I was thinking at one point
going by, his fender is worth more than my car ;-0 I know it
was the driver and not the car, but it always makes the day
worth while. I love getting out with Mark N. and tag teaming
$$ cars all day. Come out to the SCDA days, all kinds of cars,
even some old dented, rusted Taurus' ;-)

When I am having a bad day, I pop that video on and remember
the next track day is not too far away....

Tom 91+
