DonÔÇÖt think for a moment that the 2 wrecks have been driver error; rather they have been from tire problems.Having talked to the guy, I would agree with you that he is very cool, and definately a genuine enthusiast. I thought to myself how great it was that he went against the p-car arrogant-cock stereotype
However, saying those wrecks were not driver error, and due to tire problems is complete and utter bullshit. I saw him putting the michelin slicks on the car on a chilly damp day, and thought to myself at the time it was a bad idea, and I turned out to be right. Knowing the limits of your car and your tires is part of being a good driver, as well as making good decisions before you even put a wheel on the track. And saying "if he would find a tire that met the requirements of that car" is translated "find a tire sticky enough to cover up any major driver fuckups" Which is most definately not good driving. And Michelin slicks are more then enough tire for any car. Hell, a good driver can move any car quite well around a track on street tires.
Im not trying to call the guy out, but covering up ones mistakes and shifting blame only sets up the same mistakes to be repeated.
Very well put Evan.
I agree... well put
