Re: Srt-6 v G8 gxp track video
If you watch the video you can see that the track is dead, no staggers lined up behind the single Crossfire. Then the G8 comes running up and does a quick burnout so he can jump the run. He had obviously seen the times for the day and wanted to beat on a Crossfire that he new he could take. The G8 made a poor run and lost. Now that's funny.

That G8 did cover a lot of ground nearly catching up to you. It's the driver who wins the races. It doesn't matter, shoulda, coulda, woulda, you beat him fair and square. Next time tell that G8 guy to warm his car up longer, then he may have a chance. 
And for what 180 said, he's not a hater. He just sees it like he does. He's one of us. I saw the GTP spin bad off the line too. You deserved it because you got the good jump on him while you pulled away, and he tried to hook up. I hate being on the losing end of that many times. It's a terrible feeling. By the way, cooler weather? Where did you race? It's still hot as heck down here and my best was only a 12.2 yesterday in the sweltering afternoon sun. It was so hot that I left a few hours early.
