Justin, I guess u won the bet

To tell the whole story, PD got a jump at the start and led the first 2 laps. Overbeek then passed PD coming into turn 2. It stays that way for about 17 laps, when suddenly PD's car sounded terrible and he lost pace fast. He kept getting passed and just trying to finish to salvage some points.

Well, a win is a win. So when do u have time for the lunch??

Dangit! I hate it when the better driver loses. What's going on with the NSX reliability here? This is 2 races now where he DNFd or lost points due to a mechanical failure.

That is really a difficult thing to say with any accuracy. The top drivers (Peter, Michael, Johannes, Jeff, MIke) in this series are all quite good. The better / worse driver is hard to determine as they are driving different cars, have different crews, etc. The only way to tell is get them each into the same car, time to get used to said car, and let them go at it.

sorry, you're right. to clarify, he was in the lead both times when he had mechanical failures,causing him to lose points.
I know that he was leading considerably in the points until the DNF which immediately dropped him a couple spots. Sometimes you need a bit of luck with the skill to win a championship.

Did anyone hang around the pits to hear the reason that blowoff valve was making so much popping ever time he got into the meat of the powerband??? Man it sounded aweful in the straights at higher rpms. Pd just kept short shifting to avoid it and limp around the track for a finish.

Hats off to OverPorsche as he seemed to be dialed into his hometrack.

Too much damn weight! His car weighs more than mine does now!
