How did he manage to get out on track after being solo'd - with a passenger? I didn't think that was allowed.

I'll do FATT, and it is great to run with a mix of cars. The usual stereotypes apply with the 'Vette and Shelby Mustang drivers. They open 6 car lengths down the front straight, then you're on their bumper by T3......they don't seem to like that!

I was at a party last night and saw a ruby red CTS-V. It looked like a flying brick to me, but pretty mean looking front end. It had some kind of camera in the grille - nightvision maybe? I guess if you had to buy an 'Mericun 4 door, not a bad choice.

Now if Furd can step up the SHO to match.

I have to say, all the cts-v drovers I have seen on track have been tools except one, here in raleigh a guy has a silver one and is not a fucknozzle.

(bonus points for ending the sentence with it)

Apparently, he lost his brakes coming into T10 and t-boned the other CTS-V.

I call BS! Blaming brake failure for a wreck in 10 is like blaming the tatoo artist for all the extra facial stars he did while you slept.

X2. T-1 maybe, but T-10 ain't so much as to cause "failure." Likely was having issues long before. Or simply told his bud he could make it from T-9 to T-1 without lifting.
