Default [Video] Putnam Park Race Video

I heard the first race was more fun to watch but my new camera sucks and it didn't record till the last lap WTH so I went old school for the second race and here it is.

http://www.vimeo.com/6937362

FYI I was racing in SU because they booted me fro STR2 because I was to fast and some of the STR2 guys complained and the race director wanted me in the other group. So I slapped on some Hoosier R80, took out 200 lbs and added another 30 HP and ran with the SU guys. I started on the outside pole the Mustang is Chris Griswold the AIX NBational Champ in his 900 HP Mustang


Enjoy

Howd you add HP on site? Did you bring the slicks just in case?

Cool video by the way.

We don't play games, we keep multiple sets of tires in the semi and I had my crew just drop the spare engine in before the race.

Greg probably worked his magic.

Nice video!

Very creative line around 4:30

Sweet outside pass of the Pcar at 5:12ish

You showed a LOT of patience with the slower traffic around the 12 minute mark!


I can imagine getting 30 HP. But, how did you lose 200 LBS!?!? Did you just leave your luggage in the paddock?

Oh come on Ken that's funny right there!!
Hey at least you didn't have a Mustang messing up your race like last time at Putnam, although it did make things entertaining.
Nice race love the vid.

He took his left nut and left it in the paddock.
If you've ever done laps as a passenger with Ken you realize that God shorted him on brains and just gave him bigger *****.
