Gran Prix Speedways, oh what fun!

Well, I got to do another preview for GPS tonight. All I can say is, wow, wow, wow.

We got a 5 minute session, with 4 drivers total. I started in the back, Natalie quickly got out of the way because I guess I was annoying her always getting on the inside at each corner. I then caught up to the two leaders, made the pass on 2nd and was inside on Turn One, only to have the guy plow me into the wall. I threw my hands up, he didn't even know what he did was wrong, he later told me he made a good move.

3 Turns later I watched him take out the girl who was in front in a hairpin, plowing them both into the outside wall, I passed as the yellow came out which turned into a red flag. From there I was in the lead. They lined us up for the start again, in the position I stopped for the red flag, the guy behind me had no chance, I put a good 40 feet on him before we finished, 2-3 laps later.

I took my Oakley driving shoes tonight, left the helmet in the car. I think I'll have to sell one of my 3 layer driving suits and get myself a cheap single layer so I can wear that instead of their provided gear.

I can't wait for this place to open!!!!

so, let me get this straight.  You went for it in Turn 1 and ended up in the outside wall by Turn 2?  That sounds eerily familiar :p

No no no, I hit the inside wall of one. I never said I went into the outside wall.
