Can't you click the link and go directly to the video? I can. Let me know and I will fix if need be.

Thanks for posting CJ. Always fun to see in-car footage.
Some comments:

Good to see you get around the maroon coupe early on (non descript coupe, can't place the marque,..opel?) But I wonder,...what happened to him when you shut the door on him with that successfully hot, no apex move you put on him,...and then slid cross track to shut him out. Never saw him again, (and he did have some pull on the straights, so I expected him back)...Did he exit the track trying to recover? ha ha.

Also, nice to see you finally get around that black 356 coupe, who also had some pull on the straights, but seemed a bit squirrley in the turns. He's lucky to have gathered it together after getting sideways in the first reel.

But what I am really wondering is,....what's with the Hand Grenade Sprite?...
That guy had some gumball stick eh? The way he inside scooped the black coupe, twitched it into basically a tight continuous apex stick on the turn and then drove off from everybody really was a show. That motor sounded sweet. Not that I appreciate sprites or anything. (wink)

Nice clean racing, thanks again for posting.

Hi Steve,
The red/maroon car was an Alfa GTV B sedan with, I think, 2000cc engine. SHE seemed to take the pass in stride. She beat me the previous day but I was driving a bit better this time.

The Sprite was very quick. He also passed 4 or 5 cars under full course yellow at the end of the 1st video. He has a "reputation".

I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Cliff for the great footage. I wondered if it was you working in Vic's pit area. And Thanks to Vic for diving into my generator problem at a moment's notice even after just being sideswiped and having a fresh front fender crinkled in the qualifying race. Hope the '55's were tasty!

Hi Mark- Sorry I didn't say hello. I was trying to stay focused doing something I hate to do; work on a car at the track. Your car sure did look pretty...I took time to notice that.

Hi Richard- I only post videos that make me look better than I am...and even then I only got 5th out of 19. I am creeping ever so slowly closer to the front but that gets progressively harder as you go forward. Maybe I will post the race from the previous day.

More videos, yes.
And all you needed was a few more full course yellows!
And who cares where you finished as long as you had someone to race with!
(ok, so YOU care...)

No problem Cliff, I could tell you were deep into repairs. Glad you liked my car. Sometime I'll share the story of the excitement I had getting home to MN.
Great videos too! I watched from Turn 5.
