Ha ha certainly never had the power nor the talent for that. Even at my limited experience, though, the climbing esses are amazing, especially leading into that blind left hander down the hill toward Oak Tree (PBUH). There is a lot of learning to trust in that section of the track.

For people that haven't driven VIR, that's 3:02 on the video above.
