I am not taking away from Roman's special RSA (which I made him buy
)... but you put BJ in my car and me in Roman's car and I sure it would be similar outcome... it is talent.If I play basketball 20 times a year and beat up on my local guys and then go hit the court with some pros -- I am going to get schooled... same thing.
It is just a higher level all together... fastest guys in our group are working their asses off with a fair amount of seat time to see low 1:50s counter clockwise... BJ jumps is any car there that is prepared and cranks off 1:48s within a couple laps... so if we are working to get 1:52s etc... he pulls 4 seconds per lap... he is a pro and we are quick hacks

It is folks like BJ and Hurley Haywood that truly humbles "quick hacks" like us or me especially when I get a rare opportunity to see how they work behind the wheel. I rode with Hurley in a 997 GT3 at Barber Motorsport and he truly moves with a fluidity unheard of.

I've actually watched this forum for ages, some of my photography has already been posted on threads by my clients... but after this weekend I had to join in here 
LeadFootGurl... the name that came about when I first started racing, folks in competition groups always have nicknames for people, that happens to be one of them
