Maybe a little too close for comfort.

Lucky he didn't get the nose dropped on him. I wonder if he could see the 2 tho? He did get it done.

That round was pretty much pure luck. I lifted a little too early and had to get back in it to stay in front of him. It's never good when you lose your momentum and are getting chased down.

At least it was "Heads up" racing.

AHFS average.

Great job! Since most of the race is a bracket race, it never hurts even in a heads up run to practice driving the stripe (although it can bite you if you happen to give it up). That is the only place you get the chance to truly practice that end of the track though.

Just my thoughts. I drive stripe a lot of times even on red lights just to get better at it especially in my bracket cars.

True,but the driver and car in question are quick enough for a HP hit.
