I will be there to video tape the race and put it up on YouTube. I will be sure to make great commentary about the people I like....if you have pummeled dents into my car in the past I will be sure to talk about your small peepee and why you wear thong underpants
wow...

Here is 3 small segmets from my point of view in the 2nd place finishing ITB Audi #50. I was very tired and learned that after 30 you can't drive all night to the track then race and do well. As you can see in the video I wasn't "on my game" and basically was just drivng and sadly not driving to win until the final lap which was to late 
This is the start... gained a few spots and almost caught the 2002 BMW (First place starter in ITB )

This is some video from the middle of the race. I was playing with those miatas and trying to to battle to tough as I really wanted to catch up to that 2002 that was off in the distance. I still couldn't resist at times! As you can see I didn't know the drivers of the miatas so I played safe and didn't do any bump drafting at all and lifted on the straights because I knew that trying to pass and going 2 wide through the turns was slower for overall lap and the 2002 would continue to drive away, I also knew that if I did get up beside them they could easily out brake me! On the final lap of this segmet you can watch as we get lapped by the ITS and ITR cars. I wasn't nearly as aggressive as I should have been and just waived them by losing a TON of time and it took several laps to suck back in the miatas. Anyway this is my fun with miatas.
(Whoever drove the orange miata I apologize for the bump coming out of the chicane... the bump is here on video during the first time we go through the chicane, I never did find you to apologize for the scuff!)

And the final lap...dramatic for sure as I almost caught the BMW! Note to all... I passed him after the finish but before the timing and scoring in turn 1 resulting in the provisional results showing me in the lead! I was honest and found Ken to get it fixed and thus I was the reason for the delayed results! Sorry about that! I still am convinced you lifted Ken but if not well that draft coming out of the last chicane worked wonders! I wish I was pushing this hard the entire race... I gained a ton of time on this last lap that I am sure was in my the previous 38 min. just not executed very well!

Sure you can, you just need to work at it more and practice! Burning the candle at both ends is a skill like any other!
