That does not seem to get mentioned in this thread. Most of the people here want to hand out 13's with having only seen one video clip and talking to only one person in a five car incident - nice!
DD Racing,

Could you post up your video? Not that you care what any of us think, but it would be helpful to see both sides....

VR--Sorry about your Mom

Oh, and got to spend some quality time with Larry Herman and his family, too. Good times!!
VR - in the midst of all this chat about who hit who and why, I almost missed this post about your mom. I am very sorry for your loss.

WAIT A MINUTE there son! Were you not telling us all about how you live in the land of 12 month a year track driving back in January when some of the Narthin guys were wishing for track season to begin in March????

+1 - remaining calm with a clear head goes a long way on and off the track. A lesson we can all take away from this unfortunate incident.

Uh Huh. That certainly sheds a lot of light on how this happened!

And cut the "macho" crap about "where to find me", etc. It only serves to make you sound like more of a problem there son.
