Lady Luck rode with me all the way. I got ahead at the start, around 9 seconds after 5-6 laps. Then Lane started reeling me in about a second per lap. Coming out of the pitstop at halfway point I was still ahead maybe 4 seconds. Around 10 laps to go he was right at my tail, just waiting for me to make a mistake. If he had tried a pass and gotten through, I would have been left behind for sure. I was running less downforce and pulling away a bit at the straights but he would make it all up in the corners. We were side by side exiting the final turn and it became a drag race to the checkered flag. Lane was certainly faster overall, and the margin of victory was only 0.05 of a second. Still, a win is a win is a win, and I'll take it. Thank you, Racing Gods!
Only two races to go in this seven race series (F1 2011C season) over at Hammerdown Racing League.
