Post-Race Reflection and Learning

feel like happened and how that went down. I remember Jeremy telling me, >> "Okay, you're not going to just pass him in one corner." >> And I wanted to make sure that I stayed underneath him for that turn so I could finish it on the front stretch on exit, not let him get back in front of me. cuz uh one, I've been stuck behind him for I don't know almost the entire first race, most of the second one now at this point. Two, he didn't leave me any room and hit my door after I had him clean and he made it not clean. Now, because I missed a bunch of races in the middle of the season, I'm not super versed on how every single person drives, but I have talked to the other guys in there and I have watched all the videos and I have seen trends and patterns. And I know that Jamie Mosley is going to be hard to pass. He's going to swing down on you if you don't have your whole car up to his door pretty much. He likes to chop the entry. He likes to chop the exit. He always seemed like a nice guy. I've never seen him get mad when he gets out of the car or heard any stories of that. But he just drives aggressively. So, I knew that going into this. I knew he was going to be hard to pass and you wouldn't do it in one lap. He didn't leave me any room. He hit my door. So, my courtesy of I will do just about anything possible to not run into you is not gone, but it is a lot less. At the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I also see him starting the second half of his football down closer to the apex. And I thought in that moment, there's no time to think. You just react. I saw him coming down. I anticipated the contact. And I remember tensing up like if someone's going to hit you, your football, hockey, whatever, you brace for the impact. And that's what I did in my mind. I I tensed up. They say when you're skiing, don't look at the trees. You're going to go in the trees. You're going to go what you look at. When I was going in there, I was looking at the back of his car the whole time. If I had been more experienced in that situation, I could have been looking at where I was supposed to be going instead of what I was afraid of running into. Um, and I could have made that turn maybe without contact. Or maybe he would have continued to come down and it would have happened anyway in a little bit softer way. I don't know. Either way, I hate tearing stuff up. I don't like it. That's not my first choice. If it was my first choice, it would have happened a gazillion…
