:banghead:
 
Great race.

I was really surprised that he went to the outside into the junk. Everyone who tired that move or was forced out crashed today. All he need to do was dial up the boost, lift, wait, punch it, and drink milk. Oh well. Great race regardless.
 
From today forward I shall refer to any epic failure as pulling a Hildebrand. What a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory:banghead:

Oh well he got second.........
 
I hate to see a contest lost on a meaningless miscue right at the end. I'm not saying it's unfair or he really won the race, except....no, no, he lost....it's just a lousy ending IMO. One can imagine the instructions from the pit crew through the headset," what ever you do, don't try and pass by going high. Everyone who's gone high there has hit the wall. Just tuck in behind and claim victory." Ah, the arrogance of youth.
