So z00lu, is your imminent retirement the reason for allowing this interview? You are normally very private.....
I guess so, I will allow one more interview at the end of the Sports Car Series which will double as my parting interview of my overall career.
How did you feel you went in the races at Long Beach?
Well given I didn't cut any laps until that night, I was pretty happy to see that my lap times were up there with the mid tier. The first race I thought I had Woebe covered on the pit strategy but he must have put a blinder of an outlap down as he jumped me for position. Then stuffed up at turn one and that put an end to getting 5th place, though I still got there due to the unfortunate event with hyboi dropping out. Woebe kept the pressure up and had the better pace, mainly under brakes, so he deserved to be ahead by the end. As for race two I was never going to make it easy for anyone to pass me unless I made a mistake.
There has been talk of arrangements with drivers - Scav3nger not passing you.....care to comment?
There was race chat during the race, but it was all in jest. The one mistake I made that had an impact on positions was with Caderz and he got through. There were some moments with Scav, but they were on a different section of track and I defended my position well each time. I would like to think that for once there was a faster driver behind me that didn't stick their nose into a gap that was a 50/50 pass at best. He could have tried a few moves but they probably wouldn't have ended well for either of us. Overall race 2 was one of my best performances alongside Bernese Alps. I was consistent with my lap times and didn't make any real mistakes.
So Moobie Madness finishes off 2016 with its best ever result for the team title, how does that make you feel?
After spending most seasons at the bottom of the table I am really proud of what hyboi and I achieved. I guess we can rue our missed opportunities as I think we would have challenged SDR had hyboi not been hampered by a number of DNF's. There was also the one round he was unable to make which was unfortunate. But still we had a great season and if I had found some more pace, who knows.
Any further comment on your V8 Career?
Not just yet, I'll wait til after my final round for now. Thanks guys.
