Default Doug Rippie in car camera from Road America

This maybe the first and only time Doug Rippie's in car camera has been on display for the internet. After years of giving him crap. Monday he walked into my office and handed me a flash drive. Well come to find out the battery was dead for the race and the mount went to hell after a few laps.

So here is some ok footage of "Jill"

Same old Doug! How did he qualify? If he won, by how much?

Thanks for posting, Randy.

He started 13th overall and 6th in class. Finished 6th overall and 3rd in class. Best finish for Jill at the big race weekend @ Road America.

My old man went back to driving school before the weekend!!!

Doug went back to driving school! He could drive rings around most instructors in the old days! I guess he had to do that to get a license?

It's kinda of a joke about the school thing. He did spend a day at the kart track before the weekend. He really thinks that helped out a ton. Ran his fastest time there with Jill, in 95 degree weather.
