Whoa David! Riverside looked scary! haha also, Alex passed that red STI on riverside with my car too. Not gonna lie, I almost crapped myself when he went for it haha!

no one has ever complained about my passing, not even once
I usually stick my head to the inside and see if they will leave me room and I only go for the pass if there is enough room..
that STI needs to learn how to point-by imo.. if I don't get around him asap I'd lose lot's of precious track time (like Mike) lol
that STI was all over the place, almost spinning out right in front of others multiple times; which is endangering other drivers in my book
it should be a common courtesy for (super) advanced driver to point-by a faster car, and I will make a pass as soon as I see an opening if the front car obviously has bigger eagle/ engine than driving skills!!
if one gets scared of others stealing his apexes, then he probably doesn't belong to this group
just my .02

Well, to clear my name up. I was waiting for my opportunity to get by the STi, then see where you and I stood. I knew I'd be passed him by the front straight so I didn't want to point you by then continue to be stuck behind him. I also didn't think you'd wait for a point by to get passed me. Plus I wanted the opportunity to drive in front of you without being held up by another driver.
I think we can all agree that your passes are clean, I'm just guessing Jon is saying that a pass on Riverside at ~100+ just may not be worth it at a track day, given it's not an actual race. Especially considering the fact that that particular driver may not be prepared for something like that.

I'm the over aggressive one hahaha
btw you did have an oppotunity to drive in front of me without traffic.. at big willow remember? =p
the STI was very slow at riverside I think I was only doing low 90s when I was making the pass lol
the driver was prepared to be passed alright, he just wasn't really to give up his manhood and start pointing faster cars by lmao

To be honest.. nope. hahaha! I'm still learning though, this past Sunday's track event was my 7th track event ever. So I've still got quite a long ways to go until I get close to sub 2s.
Oh I thought you'd tracked more than that. Nice dude! You've come pretty far already haven't you? What were your old BW times?
Mike: I vaguely remember the pass you're referring to haha! I must have seen you coming!

Mike:
We did missed out Zhong Guan (the red Amuse widebody s2k) in the SM class and his best lap was a 2:07.263!!
Also, David's fast lap was 2:07.77"8" according to timing sheets =)

Haha nice! Anyways, thanks for the analysis Alex! I still got a lot to learn from everyone! I wonder what the car will feel like without aero though. Maybe that's making me cocky now...hahaa
