Ok, finally got a race video on youtube. It is on two vides, my Gopro seems to want to break videos into 12 minute segments and I am not well versed enough to figure how to link them together.

Being that this was the first race weekend with the car, and the first time that I was able to drive it at all, there were several instances of mis-shifts, which you will see in the videos. Also, was not pushing the car to it's limits, as I had no idea how the car would respond and was not going to pull a Titanic and crash it on the maiden voyage. There were a lot of fast cars in Group 6 and the gout included large bores, small bores and large 6 cylinder cars.

Have figures out a few adjustments that I will want to work inn before the next race. Discussed removing the windshield with Dennis Olthoff and his comment was, get rid of that barn door and you will gain 15 mph on the back straight.

Well, I will ramble more later. On the first video you will want to fast forward until you see me raise my and with the index fine pointing up, or when I raise a closed fist after that. Otherwise you will be watching a lot of warming the car up on the grid. First lap is behind the pace car. The second video takes you until just before the checkered flag. Did not post that video as there is only about 20 seconds of race video and the rest of the time is the cool down lap and driving back t the paddock.

Enjoy. I sure did!

More information soon.
