Yellow Elise started in the yellow group but was demoted to the green group after he caused a LOT of
headaches on the track. He was the cause of a number of large trains in the early sessions on Saturday. Somehow, he always managed to pit out first and hold up a lot of unhappy drivers.
I know I'm not fast, but at least I'm extraordinarily aware of my mirrors and the speed/pace other cars in my run group. I make clear pass signals at appropriate times, commit to my line, ease off during a pass, and am pretty consistent about my brake points (and brake in the "braking zones". That guy was all over the place. I nearly shart myself on the back straight when somehow the three cars in front of me were running 3-wide...yellow elise as the catalyst. For some reason, I just don't see the need to brake in the middle of a straightaway.
I hate to say it, but life seemed to run a lot more smoothly out there after his departure.

I wanted to come by and meet you this weekend
Since you posted your last name on WayOT about some dumb lady who sent your wife an email, when I was looking at the list of people at VIR, I instantly recognized it.
I have no clue what you look like, so I wasn't sure who to look for. And by the time I said anything to Molly, I guess you'd left already.
Next time...
