That looks like hella fun!! Unfortunately my cars set up to go straight, fast. Thats pretty crazy that they let you keep your window down while you're doing that too.

yeah, you're supposed to have it down. that way you can hear the course workers yell at you if something happens. (like the person in front of you spins out or takes out a row of cones)
I've done some of those too :hehe: but not on tape :eh:

Oh, thats tight! At the drag strip they let you have it even if your windows cracked an inch.

I don't think I've ever seen him. I was always at Euclid Sq mall or LCCC every time I went. I've been out of it for a year and a half, I'm not sure where they race these days.

Nice vid and sweet ride! I liked both views much better than the "in car" views...you can see the course much better! Looked like a fun course, too.

LOL! Spent the off season planning for this season, but didn't do much to the car. Finally got some good...no...AWESOME...tires and Koni Sports on the car. Spent February through May learning to DRIVE it. :shock:

Working 2 jobs...5 kids...racing...helping organize another SCCA chapter...ya know how it goes. :wink:

Seriously, I may look at getting some type of mount. I liked yours, or maybe a roof mount... Most of the in-car stuff I've seen is really hard to tell just how good (and how close to the cones) the line is.

Good to be back! :thumb:
