I then spent multiple laps defending from
@Chrisw265 before the leaders started lapping us
I probably spent 4 laps just entirely on your back tires. After watching the replay, I do have to apologise. I had a big run and thought, "I have to make something happen here, I can't afford to lose this momentum," so I just dove in hard. I wasn't even thinking and honestly didn't realize I hit you. I meant to get past you, but not make contact and cause damage. Sorry about that, entirely my fault.
It was really good defensive racing on your part though! To be fair, it had to only be a matter of time, and at least I was the only one that got by you. I really do hope we can race again. Maybe next time you'll be pushing me out of the way for revenge.
