Well that was some good old fashion Atlanta traffic
Tony, sorry again for that bump. Saw you lose speed coming out of T1 and I got greedy hoping to make it past you into the esses. Overshot my braking point and it seemed like locking up was a worse option than just trying to run it off onto the run off and give you a clear road. Obviously it did not work out as intended
Besides that, I started p8, followed
@HF2000 and
@Shed 17 closely for a few early laps until they had a little contact and I was able to sneak by. The next 15 min or so in P6 was good and clean on my end and I was slowly closing in on Collin (I think), but all it took was one too aggressive move by me
(see above lol) to bump me back to P8 right behind Han and Paul, once again
. Spent the rest of the race in a three way accordion with them, with the gap opening and closing depending on the traffic. In the end, I got a good view of a very close finish between the two (+.3s & +.5s split to me
) and my qualifying position.
Thanks as always for hosting this, and congrats to the winners (and survivors lol)
