Pocono JD LG Freedom Races - ITR vid
Great weekend - folks ya'll need to come check out Pocono again. The new configuration is hugely better and the rough pavement is gone (unless you drive a formula car).
Good IT turn out - some strong competition. Big props go out to Matt Rooke - he's got the worst luck and had motor trouble. He was the man to beat on the weekend. Rob Nimkoff took the ITR track record, John Hainsworth was big winner and took the ITS track record. Rob got me on Saturday with 4 laps or so to go with an excellent pass and was the man to dual with. I did win on Sunday but you'll need to tune into the video at 11:10 or so to see what happened to keep Rob out of the top podium spot :blink:
Enjoy the vid - I didn't edit it - my fancy software is too confusing! Fast forward to 11:10 to start.
PS - huge props to Kevin Anderson in his new ITR RX8 - the dude ran me down at the end and made it close at the finish!
