I wasn't going to post this since the video quality is HORRIBLE! I have no clue what I did, but I will try to redue it at some point. If I watch the file it is great (Original file is HD), but after editing it I screwed it all up. waist of 2 hrs...

Anyway here it is from midpack of the ITB group!

Nice Vid Stephen - Group 4 was a great race to watch. The "B" race was exciting to watch from the sidelines and even better from the video.

Stephen,
Thanks for the post, both of my video systems failed me (or I failed them) the old VHS wouldn't work due to moisture and the data acquistion system used up all its memory watching me download info from the day before. I did not see the one lap to go but I don't think it would have mattered. Rick was all over me and the two Miatas were having a side by side battle that slowed them enough to let Rick get beside me.
Nice to see what actually happened.

Wow. Thats a great example of how faster class cars can really screw up a race for the slower class frontrunners....

And Stephen, it seemed like you were laying off it a bit after the BMW was stopped in the entrance to No Name. Am I right?
Oh, and cool video camera positions. Much better than the bumper cam.

My data and video failed to work that session. I'm bummed, as I wanted to present evidence that I can follow a BMW (Rob Driscoll, in this case) without ramming it.

Thanks Steve!

My view of group 3. We pulled the car off pre grid to change tires. We didnt get back in time and started from the back.

Yup.. it has always been a part of "B" I think those miatas may have been racing for first as well...

Well sorta.. I knew a full course yellow was coming based on the debris alone even if that car did get moving. I was trying to stay close enough in case it didn't go full course yellow. But I was watching every station closely. I woould have probably made a move into 1 if the yellow hadn't come out.

Oh, and cool video camera positions. Much better than the bumper cam.

Agreed. More interesting to see what the driver is doing...
