    Default Race Recaps

    For those not on Facebook (looking at you, Purple Frog), I decided instead of writing long recaps every weekend, I would do something that takes way longer to edit and post. Not sure what I was thinking here.

    Chris let me "preview" his work a few days ago. I enjoyed it, then turned around and lectured him about turning in too early and having radios that actually work. Really though, he does a great job editing and explaining the "fun" of racing with FE2s. Also, if you listen closely you hear the words of experience from the likes of James Lee.

    Keep them coming Chris! Better than reading my diatribes!

    The entire weekend I kept trying to explain to Chris that green means go.
    He never quite grasped the concept.

    Great commentary and video Chris. Actually though, James' prediction really did happen. After the race he told me that because of all the FCY laps the time element of the race expired the second time I passed you. If they would have called it then the prediction would have been right

    I kept wondering, "Did James rent Mark's diffuser to somebody else that weekend?"

    Not according to Race Monitor. What are you trying to cheat the clock now too??

    Hey man, I'm just telling you what James told me. And James is never wrong. BTW, James NEVER uses the radios so I never get the green called. Which is not so different from when I was racing with Rob St Clair. Whenever the race started he was usually off somewhere having a smoke. Definitely not communicating on the radio.

    Default Sebring Super Tour

    Sebring video. Side note: I'm looking to hire a video editor who works for free, does everything, answers to my unreasonable demands and timelines, and makes me look better. Inquire within.

    I get it! Drop back at T1 on the first lap so you have someone to race with.

    Thanks for sharing. Sent you a list of tips from a backmarker's perspective.
