I too have some nice photo's and video. I handed the video tape of Larry's racing to himself, and he'll work the magic to post to the web. I'm not too savvy with that stuff. Trying to "film" a race car heading at you, going by you, and circling around with out a tripod is VERY difficult. I'll post a few photo's later today. Sorry, but I really screwed up by not photographing a few of the old Indy cars. They were incredible.
Also, in car video always seems be a let down. There is NO WAY it provides the true feeling or excitement a driver encounters. I'm hitting 135-140 mph at the end of the front straight and diving into a sweeping left hander (REAL pucker factor), and the video shows it like a Sunday drive in the park. I can just imagine what those NASCAR guys are subjected to, while I'm sitting on the couch with my popcorn and beer.
And the next guy who tells me about his track racing experience on his PS3 gets a boot up his ars! God am I ever tired of that. It happened again this weekend while shopping at a Walmart in College Station.
As for myself, I have to realize, as with everything else in life, if you don't practice, you don't improve very fast. Even though I did post a personal best, I'm still not catching and passing the ones I have my sights on. All the while, a race mate who started when I did has put a LOT of time, study, practice and money into his effort. He now runs with the front pack. Me, smack dab in the middle.
BUT....... it sure beat going to work last Thursday and Friday.
Oh yeah, I did win second place in B-Production for this past years effort. And best of all..... I haven't broken down in 4 races. Yahoo!
But now it's time for winter projects. Pull the engine this weekend. Engine goes north, body heads south, both for "freshening". Possibly a little suspension work (if I can afford it) and be ready for the February races.
