Here's a low resolution video of the Pro IT race. Some pretty good action - very fun track. I was plagued by mechanical issues. After quyalifying I was torquing the wheels and noticed cracks - all four of my 16 inch wheels had stress cracks so I had to buy new slicks and mount them on my 17' rain wheels.
Had a good run and got the lead handed to me (check the vid) got repassed and then started having vibrations which got progressively worse - left rear bearing was failing fast so I limped around to be sure I got more than half the race in for points and then pitted.
Jeff - you owe Rob a case of cold beer bro!

Watching the vid I think that going over the curb with the left rear, entering the octopus sequence probably punished that bearing and caused failure. Rob Thiele in the blue tiger stripe green BMW has a control arm bend and he's got a major tire rub causing smoke.
