Holding me up a little here and there? I was at least 1.5 seconds a lap faster and he was in my way. He had a massive horsepower advantage that made it hard to setup a pass much less a pass that would stick.

My goal was to force him to over drive his car to protect his position. I figured either he would overheat his tires or he would make a mistake. I just hoped that mistake would come in a place that would allow me to make a pass that would stick. If I passed him in Turn 11, he would probably get back by me by Turn 1. Turn 7 was the best place to make a pass and make it stick as I was much faster from the exit of Turn 7 to Turn 11. As you saw, once he was out of my way exiting Turn 7, I could run away from him.

That Falcon was driven by Thomas Merrill and had over 800HP. It is basically a 2008 Trans Am chassis with a 1963 Ford Falcon body stretched and widened. It is fast! Like 5 seconds a lap faster than my car.
