    Maybe it was just funny because I was the one driving, but after 60+ races on my resume, this is the first time I've ever used my horn, but it worked as I came up on this lapped car. I was in the lead and often with lapped traffic you can get held up enough to have the field catch you. I was VERY motivated to get through.

    The RX7 I pass into the first turn is an ITA RX7, so not in my class, but he was leading ITA which is usually a much faster class than our SRX7's.

    I then come up on a lapped car passing a lapped car and I pass them both 3 wide, then I come up to the lapped Miata. :)

    Yes, now that SM is too big for us to run with them, we run with all the ITB and ITC moving chicanes.
