I was impressed that Dixion was really battling with Helio the final laps but I not sure that was wise given the prize.

If they were wise, they never would have become professional car racers.

There's something about being out on track chasing another car... it makes you think a little less clearly

I only get a little taste of that at track day (note the way faster GT40 in front of me)



I can only imagine how it is for real race car drivers Sometimes they are NOT as wise as they should be...

racing is 10x better, especially when your 2 inches off the guy in front's bumper.

try this at a track event and see how your passenger takes a shit.

Darren was a nice guy, but not fast enough. Now they just need to fire aj foyt iv and put in paul tracy... i would have thought that was a no brainer.
