Thought I fueled up but I was mistaken :-)

Excellent tactical race. Had a good start and took the lead, but was soon reeled in down those long straights. Settled into slipstreaming with Hristo and Navin and was able to take advantage of traffic and slip through for the lead only to get on the curb and lose it coming onto the straight. Had to really get my head down and chase hard before eventually getting back. Thanks for flashing me through btw Navin  

Was hitching a ride behind Hristo for the last 20 laps or so, happy to bide my time and not wanting to take the lead because I knew he would only repass. Was very cat and mouse and I could see he was tempting me through, but I was waiting to make my move on lap 40 into T1 where I seemed to be quicker. Then with a couple of laps to go H caught me by surprise with a run for home and I was left picking rubber out of my teeth   Grats on the win mate

Not much to say other than was fun early trying to keep up with GT and Hristo. I was able to stay with them when they were going at it but once they split I just couldn't hang on anymore. And hey np GT for letting you through. Oval races are more about lap times and I didn't see any point holding you up and it was good to see you and Hristo hook up again for some fun . Good job fellas and as always a big thank you to our Bernie. aka Tony

Indianapolis = Turn left, then turn left, then turn left, then turn left, and then do it all over again.
might not make this one, should make tommorow.

Never interested in ovals until we raced Cobras at Monza 1955 to 71 and I found it quite an achievement when I got line right around that Concrete Bowl and drove flatout around it.   Therefore I persevered and was able to get around here consistently with just lift to get turn-in and then full throttle again.   A satisfying night's driving  although lonely in the smaller engined car. 
Iin reply to chat query why I always drive the smaller engined car , my reactions are not fast enough to handle power of larger engine.
