All he could see was taillights.
But then again -- we only played that game for about half a lap. All the jousting is just that - jousting.
When people are on track -- and there's 25 to 35 cars out there... of all shapes and sizes from Miatas to McLarens... it's really difficult to be able to go out with your buddies and either find them or stay with them. There's just so much traffic and it only takes one slow car to get in the middle of things and the guy ahead is long gone. We have corner passing restrictions.... so basically like at Sonoma --- once you've hit T2 -- you don't get much of a chance to pass until you're exiting T6.... and then again not until you hit T9 etc. So if the car/driver combo is pretty well matched... then you're hosed if you get behind.
Last time at Thunderhill --- I wanted to run with Chet and Pete.... so kind of waited on them to come into view.... then a couple other cars went by while I was dogging it --- and they went bye and were gone... and I got stuck. On a 2+ mile track with passing zones... it's really pretty tough to pick and choose who you want to run with.
