I allowed myself to get stuck behind said Split Window and lost 5 places in
heavy traffic through the twisties. I made up two positions when one of my
tires blew. (Side by side with my next victim at turn one)
There were 45 cars on a 2 mile course with a 27 second disparity in laps
times. Not ideal, but quite exciting at times.
