That's not a different line, that's another direction. 15 sec in less then 2 miles is a huge gap to build up between these pros. And I would not be suprised if that was the section that was protested.
15 seconds is NOTHING. I personally saw Hawk pull into the pits with a broken clutch lever, get it changed, and go back out to take over the lead. I don't care how good your pit crew is, you're not going to change a clutch lever in under 25 seconds. But then again Hawk is THE greatest ever. I dislike Ballance, it's not a brand thing for me, he could be on a Honda, it wouldn't matter. I've seen the attitude from him more times than I can count. He had a chip on his shoulder because he couldn't beat Barry. Just remember, Barry had to retire for Bill to get that championship. When the record books show Bill's eight championships, this is what is going to be beside his name, *
