Yes, Edie is a great driver and a good sport. I just think that our tires were getting way too hot. Once I got by her I slowed down big time to cool everything off.
It was one of my favorite races to date. She did close the door on me when I had a run on her down the straight.... but that is racing
It is alot easier to "catch" a 911 when you start to spin than a 914. Think of it this way, it is harder to initiate spinning a spoon (911) than it is to spin a knife (914) on a table

Regardless, we all had a blast in 107 degree weather

Our next race is at California Speedway in a few weeks. She usally beats me there (I run out of gear, X 5th gear). I'll make sure I put up a fight though.

The video from that race will have all the RPM, speed, G's etc from my new data logger. Should be fun.
