3-30-10 I'm four stories up on open air grandstands at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix. You can see most of the track from here. It is 30 minutes into the second World Challenge race of the weekend. I am adrenaline dizzy like a teenager on his first date. My chewing gum is so flat you could roll a joint with it. This is intense. Did I mention I "live" for this?Both of our Woodhouse Team Dodge Vipers are running 10 tenths, battling for their piece of real estate in the 31 car field. Jeff Courtney in the blue and white 99 KENDA/Dodge/Viper Comp Coupe is in 9th position, off his rear bumper is the Nissan GtR of Tony Rivera acting like a male dog sniffing a bitch in heat. Kuno Wittmer in the 13 Dodge Viper Comp Coupe is behind the Jason Daskalos Viper keeping his nose ever so politely in the back side of his crotch.
My adrenaline attack peaks when Kuno gets a run on both Jason and one of the Porsches going into turn one, he squeezes into an inside line ahead of the other two, right on the butt of Andy Pilgrim in the Volvo, the double pass is in the bag, or is it, Pilgrim "brake checks" allowing the outside double line through the corner to pull away. I surmise a bit of Washington politics in Mr. Pilgrim, you owe those that helped you get there. Aargh!! This is killing me, but hey; see for yourself, you don't have to put up with my tirade.
Watch it on VERSUS, April 18th at 2PM. Is this stuff good or what? You will see Patrick Lindsey's Porsche get punted from behind and turn full sideways in the middle of the field creating a ski jump for the punter, Mr. Ott in a Nissan GtR. He all wheel drives up the side of Lindsey's Porsche showing his underbelly to the crowd before landing on the far side. Hollywood, you cannot outdo this. Watch it. If you can't then go to www.world-challengetv.com and pick it up on line a bit later. Viper Racing, Yeah Baby! Series details at www.world-challenge.com
