I saw that the other day on YouTube and initially thought, damn Mickey's car has absolutely crazy power! lol

Good for you Mickey on the non-contact. I honestly think you'll find this more enjoyable and people will race you nicer.

Abhi,
Thanks for posting the video. My go pro stopped as I was getting in the car which is very unfortunate as the race we had up to the contact was the most fun I have had so far in the car yet.

What I thought happened at contact is not what is on your video. I had been watching you push wide on most turns post apex. I thought that if I could duck inside, beat you up the hill I could use Dick P to box you in at west bend and drag race you to the checkered. What I did not count on is how much my car would move drivers left when it got light at the top of the hill. It moved much more than normal because of my speed and line. Lesson learned. Please accept my apology, I feel horrible about damage to your car. It is unfortunate that such a great race resulted that way.

I am glad we had a chance to speak on the phone to clear the air. I look forward to getting on track with you again.

Quite disappointed. I thought that I was holding my line and got taken out by an over aggressive move. Would like the opinion of the forum members.

The car is pretty bent, frame is twisted. Not sure how soon it will get fixed.

Chris

I want to thank you for reaching out. I gained a lot of respect for you for doing that.

Look forward to racing with you in the future, except I won't let you get that close to me. :D

Best Regards

Abhi
 
Agreed. Extremely stand up of Chris. Some guys might apologize privately, but standing up and taking public heat is to be lauded. When i saw the damage, and not seeing the actual hit, it sure looked like Chris was very far alongside, so the question was who moved which way. Glad it has been sorted, and kudos to the two of you for sorting it out civilly.
 
Agreed. I wanted to let Abhi reply before I said anything, but definitely a stand up move. An honest apology goes a long way in repairing racing incidents. Classy by you both.
