Not easy to do simultaneously.

Actually, was getting a little bored on last lap and just lost concentration - interesting entering bus stop at somewhat close to I guess 120 - 130mph, as did not want to overbrake and spin and had committed to turn in or would have just gone straight.

That's probably him. He used to drive a Ferrari at DE's....but eventually came to his senses.

Sorry that we didn't meet, I drive a black 991 GT3. I will be at July SP event and look forward to meeting you formally, at least.

It only took me a few years to come to my senses, but I do recall dicing with GT3's and often, though not always, needing to look in my rear view mirror.

Robert,
You messed up the quote somehow. It's Collin you need to meet. I already know you.....heck...I've even diced with you on Canal Rd.

Collin and Tony are nearly impossible to distinguish in person. Pretty much identical really.

I'm just thankful Collin wears that cowboy hat or I'd never remember

Chuck....I think you're overdue for a visit to your optometrist.

I look forward to it! I'm currently signed up for the event...and I don't think I'll have enough time to break my car between now and then so I'll probably go.

I am the douchey, younger guy walzing around in a cowboy hat and boots driving a gaudy, red 951 with ghastly turquoise-colored wheels in Black.




...Come to think of it, maybe that's why when people meet me and say, "oh so you're Collin" their face displays a mixture of utter contempt and disgust.
