Besides, it was the last lap, and you would have definatly made a pass on the straightaway even if you camped behind for the whole lap, so I think the end result would have been similar. Like you said, people were coming behind you as well, can't wait forever, great run.
Im glad a non biased person could confirm that. Obviously my friends see it one way.. and I see it from my perspective. Dayger had no hard feelings that he made apparent.. I just really wish it didnt happen like that. Im sure anyone who knows me, or has raced with me would agree I would never peel someone for position. Payback.. well thats another story
I think I owe flack a little paint from the 19T A come to think of it
Im not going to lie, the crap after the race took a lot of the joy out of winning my first BIG U.S. race. Regardless of who told me to ignore it and walk away, it was upsetting and well.. made a great experience a little sour.
