HA! Tell me about it! I once passed a 1098 while on VIR North twice.... in ONE lap.... on the same STRAIGHTAWAY.... WHILE ON AN EX500!!! I passed him once as we were exiting turn 17a onto the front stretch and again under the brakes for turn 1.

He was absolutely tip toeing that thing.... I wonder if it was even his bike.
