Sounds like a Pro to me, passed on the straight in a safe manner, took his
time and reeled them in one by one. Then had some fun doing it all again.
A perfect example. Thanks Asa, Michael Shortt

they know?the faster guys are going to be all over them. Both of these facts
would have worked in his favor. Still, it was pretty ballsy to try to make
it all up on the first lap.
