S1Steve Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Thats a easy one, 7 driver with big balls on the inside ...... Nice move... Nope, I changed my mind too... Who will walk away from the crash.... Edited October 21, 2011 by S1Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Either way the Lotus driver has a big set of stones especially if trying to pass on the inside like that....the 73 RSR 911 looks as if the driver is getting ready to close the door on the pass by moving to the left and squeezing the 7 out of position....wounder if the 7's rear wheel rubbed on the curbing as it looks like it would be very close.

James A Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Reminds me of my race last weekend at Eagle's Canyon, due to lack of entries they combined the under 2 liter production cars with the over 2 liter. It was great, I got to run with some ex-TransAm cars and a lot of V8s. These guys would barnstorm me (us there were 3 Caterhams) in the straights and pay the price in braking and in the turns! It was a case of taking advantage in the turns or loosing out to the big bore crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timax Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If i was trying to get buy I would have my lights on. Especially in a small car like the 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi7ot Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If i was trying to get buy I would have my lights on. Especially in a small car like the 7 Lights don't matter in my experience. It seems that when a driver actually makes an effort to check for close company, He/She scans only at eye level, with rarely any height adjustment. Even in the picture, the Drivers head in the 911 is in line with the top of the screen frame of the 7. On the street I assume always that they have not seen me. On the track, I assume that the Corvettes, Mustangs , and Camaros can't see me...ever. In the picture, the Porker is passing on the outside of the 7 because the 7 just lost 3 cylinders. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
