Default *** ECS Video WGI Mistakes ***

Here are 2 mistakes entering the Chicane at WGI this year.

First is my car which I was fighting a vibration and was running one last lap (always happens that way). Nothing happen to my car. Cleaned it out and went back out later.




Second is a customer of ECS (GeorgeZNJ) that has gone with us to almost every event this year. He was trying to catch another vette in front of him and overstep his boundaries. George suffered a tire that broke the bead, but outside of that it just needed a good washing.

Watching George's video to the end is worth it - like he thinks he is going somewhere

Those are great videos! Do you have a way to play them with just the beautiful sound of the motors? I like the songs but would love to hear it without, and save those two videos.

let me see. With my video I am sure that I do. With Georges I might have overlaid the music at the beginning.

There are more videos at either www.ecracing.com or youtube page
