<DIV><FONT size=2>> Towards the end of the day I brought my student out in my VE powered NX2000 to show him the line and such. Well half > way thru the session a jackass in a GT3 decides to pass me without a point by IN THE TURN! Now this didn't really </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="times new roman" size=2>Part of the blame for that goes to PDA for telling people that the bowl was a passing zone! No matter how many times I yelled at my students, they continued to pass and allow to BE passed there</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>> After a few laps the jerk in the GT3 comes around again. Now they only way he got back to me so fast was that he was </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> passing EVERYONE wherever he felt like. So I wasn't going to let him get around me unless I gave him a point by. So for 2 > laps I blocked him from passing me in the turns and on the straights. If he went left I went left. If he went right I went </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="times new roman" size=2>So the first time I was there I caught and passed a GT2 in the FX and the first time you're there, you're blocking a guy in a GT3 :P</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw Ray out there up this guy's ass and just thought the guy in the Imprezza was being a dick not pointing Ray by. I saw it for 2-3 laps before I stopped paying attention</DIV>

<DIV>> say the Joe told the guy he wasn't ready as a 190whp FWD car just passed him and then after I did a Miata passed him as </DIV>
<DIV>> well. Which shouldn't happen with a good driver with 300whp and AWD.<BR></DIV><FONT face="times new roman"></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV>That's downright embarassing... for the Imprezza driver!<BR></DIV>
