Greg, got a scida on your peeta? Whack it off, whack it off.

There's a lot of alcohol flowing at most of the big events but the vast majority of the time it's all after the days racing and doesn't really effect the race itself.

2 years ago at the Reedy race, a Pro Driver got tossed out of the race for drinking in the pits. I was there and saw it happen. Now I don't drink, but I can't see needing a beer that bad personally...

Yeah, but he doesn't remember much after the first round and until he gets off the plane though due to his over-intoxication issues.

Jon, I have a new nickname for you. Striker...TED Striker. Since you have a drinking problem and all

not sure who you are, but somehow there must be a misunderstanding here. What you write is definitely not the case, but no reason to argue.

I know David since a very long time and consider him as a personal friend, you can be sure I try to fulfill all his wishes.

I forgot to congratulate Paul L. for a great result.

He may not drive for Orion/Peak but he is a good guy and a great racer regardless and deserves a well earned podium.

Paulie have a "tayco" you earned it. LOL!

@bill: glad I was able to help, this is what I'm for at the races...

Btw, I think the commentator wasn't soo bad. He just jumped in as far as I know, there was no announcer planned for the event and Pieter was helpful to take the job. Imagine how boring it would have been without an announcer?
