Default some new track videos

My latest two videos from the last track day of the year out at the Autobahn.

"Point By" - no music, just the sounds of the track.

Session with a BMW - with music.

Great video for you to end an AWESOME YEAR at the AUTOBAHN Jimmy B. Looks like you had some stiff competition today with some real deal RACE CARS!!! I believe that is one of the few times that I have seen you get passed all year!!

Today that don't keep the BAHN open another week or two until the cold weather and snow and salt hit for the first time (but i guess they have to draw the limit somewhere)!

TRACK SEASON OVER?? !!!$%&@#!!!!

Great vids, Jim. I only wish I could have made it out a few more times. Still trying to convince the wifey on a track car - I'm making headway with a lift at least (that's step 1 in my plan ).

I'd love to at least get another run at one of the Z3 Beemers - need to learn how NOT to drive the wheels off those darn things! Maybe next year!

Hope to see you before the winter sets in - we have any lunches set up yet???

Hey Jim,

Do you by any chance have that one video of you racing in the rain?

OK, it's not raining, but I looked at the first one anyway. Needed a fix. Thanks.

Here is some track time from the same day with Jim. This is the view most people get of Jim's Z06.

Dang that was a great day. Driving all day and into the twilight like that, sliding through that Ferrari oil.

Listen to you ripping those heal/toe downshifts, those two downs after the long straight don't work for me, but man does it work for you!

BTW, great video, my car is even in it!
