Man, I hope that thing was recording cuz I was about 3 in from this guy going. It It was It was still recording. I like I thought to myself, I was like, I don't know if I can get any closer without touching you. Where was that? uh going up one on HSR's prescribed starting procedure. You can't pass till the apex of one. Well, we came out of one and I was like, I'm going to try to get this guy at the inside. He tried to squeeze me over. It was clean. It was fun, but I was like, well, now I'm in the wrong spot to go into three. So, I started off right up there and I was like, "Oh, well, I might get more action towards towards the S's." I was like, we had a good battle going the whole race. I got him coming into one again the last lap and then I had him all the way to the back straight and then he just motortoed past me and I was like, damn it, it's just horsepower. Nothing I can do, but it was fun. I wish we had some more laps. It was fun. Yeah. I wish I wish so, too. Was it less than has been? Yeah. Well, we we had six or seven laps, but two were under caution and then you know how it is. So, but uh hopefully someone out there thought it was good racing cuz we were having fun. I was thinking next time we should tap you should tap into the radios. Some interesting some interesting audio that goes on. Yeah, especially from your microphone, I would imagine. What are we missing? Can you give us a little flavor of what that is? Um, like from a race perspective or from a anything that's interesting perspective? Oh, well, I think all the drivers are a little frustrated. We we only got like really like three or four green laps. That's what I thought. I was like, what happened? And the guy said the race was over. I'm like, really? Yeah, cuz the start got delayed for some unknown reason. They told us they were regridding, but it didn't make any sense. We finally got started and we're like, well, I hope they extend the time a little bit, but you know, we got two laps of caution. We had two or I think we had like three maybe four laps of green but like that's enough to get a b like me and this guy we had a battle started we passed we passed back we came down the hill we're damn near side by side and I was like off I just had one more lap you know we got three green flag laps. So the first start our carburetor stumbled a little bit. Um so didn't get a good launch. Second restart got a really good launch. Got the second If we had some more laps, I think we could have…
