I.e., with a creeping-slow start onto the front straight? Imagine if I'd gotten a running start ... Hey Doug, did you see that my 2:06 fastest lap was the restart lap?

Makishima says "Curse you!!!" The same guy who used voodoo to make a full-course yellow happen just when he needed it. Now I KNOW something will go wrong next time! Oh great!

I lost a RF wheel bearing during qual. Spent the afternoon in the 100+ deg. heat changing the front right hub. -Doug “apparently the only reason I tote around that huge trailer with all of the tools is so that I can lend them out, because this car is so maintenance-free it’s scary”

I did my best to get you at the start, and pressed very hard for a few laps, but as you mentioned it was to no avail. I figured if I got you at the start, I could keep you behind me (sort of like our last meeting at Laguna... if it weren't for that back marker that hung me up in T5). Once you opened up the gap, I went into strategy mode. I got my double yellow, and again pushed hard at the restart, but it wasn't enough. What can I say, I threw everything I had at you, but just couldn't get it done. Nice work! BTW, I'll be at Infineon, and with new tires too! (and with rebuilt calipers -- I was leaving 20-30ft long smoke trails going into T14 in the last 1/3 of the race. LF locking up prematurely). Cheers, Doug Josh,
