I can't wait to get home and watch it. Your last video had my wife yelling at me. She said "what the hell are you doing, blowing out the speakers on the computer, slamming your fist into the desk, and yelling to get out of the way get out of the way"

I told her "just watching some racing"

Nice race, why did you have to start so far back on the grid, it's clear from the race that you were way quicker than the position indicated, on a side note the mustangs in the field are they running straight axles?

It's just the way they grid ed the cars by class than by times, we we behind a few slower classes, IMO a great way to wreck some cars but it's not my call. As far as the Mustangs I have no idea what they run all I know is I don't like being next to them

I believe I had the 3rd quickest qualifying time but was 14th on grid, it didn't seem to affect the results so it all worked out I guess. Makes for better video

I must definitely be hearing things because I could swear you scoffed at him as you lapped him too, if that was the same car. That was hilarious.

It didnt actually catch on fire, just burned some oil in an undesired manner.. I changed my avatar to reflect this weekend.

Thanks for the link. I will study it.

He's from MI and one of my buddies saw him on Monday and he claimed there was a car to his left pushing him over. Of course after looking at the video a few time whe I jack on the brake and drive off the track I only see him go by and no other car. So I'm thinking :

Was there a car to his left?
