Thanks for the kind words, guys. It really was one hell of a weekend for my Dad and I. We both doubled up on wins and each ran our fastest laps ever around Mid Ohio. My race on Saturday was unbelieveably hard! Keeping Colin at bay for 14 laps is impossible so I have no idea how I did it. Congrats to him for having a hell of a race himself though. Very, very, very close racing and never a "questioning" moment or move - it was great!
As for Sunday's race, I may have been at fault too for the field checking up. I was on the outside of row 1 and after the stupidly late green, I went to shift from 2nd to 3rd and hit 5th by accident. I got it back into 3rd really quickly but still got tanked pretty good in the ass by the SM behind me. That could've accordianed all the way back, I don't know. I thought I had lost the race right then on the start because I knew if Colin got ahead of me, he was a tad quicker. Unfortunately for him, his steering wheel popped loose going into the keyhole on about lap 5 or 6. He got it back on insanely quickly and only lost maybe 10-12 car lengths to me as I passed him. He charged back and once again, we turned into an ITA train. Then around lap 10 or 11 we both went real hot into turn 1, I got up on the outer berm and Colin went up and over it and bounded through the grass. He lost a couple of car lengths but came back on. After that though, his water temp started rising and he had to eventually slow down and nurse it slow enough to just still finish 2nd.
Steve - I tried stopping by your trailer twice on Sunday but you were never there. Anyway, you never held me up at all. On Saturday though, I was just hoping you were seeing me coming because I just absolutely had to get through right there. I know I came flying through pretty quickly but come on, Colin was right behing me! :P Sunday wasn't a problem either. 13 isn't an ideal place to catch traffic at all but you went far enough outside in the middle of the corner that I was able to track in and out like no big deal. Thanks for that!
