So I'm sitting here getting buried in this snowstorm and seriously jonesing for the racing/riding season to start again. Another forum I frequent has had an active thread going about favorite topic related videos on YouTube. That got me thinking about some of the ones I enjoy relating to us. Here are a couple of my favorites. :happy204:
Lime Rock Park; Sleazeball early apex ends predictably (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejqep2zrFiY):
A compilation of Spec Miata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm__88baUyI) Madness.
And...the all time classic: I Was Seventh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyr6VDaaWJE)!!!

Bring 'em on! B)

"I Was 7th" is probably my all time favorite video. Kim did a GREAT job putting that one together... :)

Me too! The one where the two cars went riding into the corn stalks (or something similar to corn LOL) was nuts. Or the one when Matt Neil made the pass on the very last turn and smashed into the other car. Come to think of it, they are all pretty crazy. It's great to watch from the sidelines, but I don't think I'd want to be a part of it at least if it's on my own dime.

BTCC makes spec miata racing look boring.

I don't recall if this was already posted on here or if I found it at one of those fender-less sites before. Here's a lap at Bridgehampton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjRyFotFR9c). I still miss that place!

From YouTube, thanks to Tim K, last year at NHIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jFjgZMJRg). Memorial Day weekend :018:

Stephanie, here is another from my "collection" up on You Tube.

RX7 vs. Tow Truck in the rain @ Hallet

and from the 2006 Run-Offs @ Topeka, this is a shot from Michael Heintzman's Miata, watching an RX7 trying to mate with a Lotus/Cat 7.

I have many more videos, but don't post them all up on you-tube.

Oww! The tow truck one looked like it hurt!
Thanks Tim!
Here's a clip from one of those car TV shows (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZnfTkHjOE4) that I never tell people that I watch....but I've been guilty of it from time to time :rolleyes:
Usually happens this time of year when it's been 6 months since my last racing fix.
I can see using this as an opener for the next Busch race at NHIS.
