Here is Sundays race.

A little hectic of a start then settled in to a good pace.

For my own sanity, Saturdays video is staying right where it belongs. (The desktop of my computer) =]

Nice drive Dan, you've got some fast hands there...

[Alberto]

Very fast hands indeed. Was the car sticking reasonably well? Were you fighting any issues with the car or was it all good?

[Phillip Holifield]

Here is my video from Sunday

[Steve Holifield]

Here is my video from Saturday's race, (posted on Phillip's Vimeo account.) Great close racing with Dan, Mike M., Charlie, Kyle, Greg, Dion and Dave P.

Thanks to Juan for bringing his projector. We had a lot of fun watching the videos Saturday night, until the overhead lights turned off and the bugs swarmed the screen. That ended the party!

Here is Kyles video of Sat race. Lots of action and clean close racing. When you see the blue car exit turn 1 up the hill it is because his wheel breaks out of the spokes! At the turn 1 2nd lap incident, David P(Purple car that crosses track)said he closed his eyes and screamed!! Great reaction by Greg to avoid and then show his crazy dirt flat track skills!

Thanks to Steve, Dan, Mike, and Charlie for great battles. Special thanks to Martin, Maddie, Greg and Erin for always letting us crash your party

Enjoy!

It was pretty well hooked up. Wasn't fighting too much that wasn't just heat related

Dan, are you overreving on your downshifts?

No, not very often. I won't say it's never happened...haha

Steve,

You just get hosed by the lapper(at 11)...I don't think she is paying close enough attention to her mirrors. In race 2 she almost takes out Doug followed by Phillip on the last lap at 1. Then 8 seconds later Kyle catches her at the exit of 2 and he almost takes her out when she brakes!!

Great battles! Clean driving!

[Juan Pineda]

My Saturday race. Thrills and spills! Fortunately nothing damaged except points.

Enjoy!

Here is my Sunday race (again posted on Phillip's Vimeo account)

[Ron Alan]

Steve,

Man, that sucked! Had know idea Juan got sucked into this also. The stars just weren't aligned for you this weekend Juan I'd like to see Charlie and Juans video of this...not sure what Mike M was thinking

[Johnny D]

I was wondering how I looked at the 19min mark after I dropped a tire in 6.
Thanks Steve and Phillip.

My Sunday race. All weekend my tranny was training me to avoid 2nd. Unfortunately, I really needed it at the start of this one. Prime view of the big mess in T10. Limped it home with some suspension damage.



A challenging weekend for sure. But on the bright side, the bumper and fenders are all still on!

Enjoy!

Here is Kyle's Sun race. Not that exciting but love the outcome!



In no particular order I'd like to thank a few people here that are just good people and have welcomed Kyle and I over the last year with their support and generosity...and have just become good friends that make this all worth while

Martin, Maddie & Dan; Darin,Dewey & Bill; Phillip, Steve& family; Juan & Glen; Greg & Erin; Matt R, John G, Doug M, Charlie H and Mike Haag! Just a Thank You!

I've watched several of these videos, and so far Kyle (aka Kimi) has the best one I've seen in a while. Great clean racing by everyone!

Watching Phillip's Sunday video, it seems like Doug's new car has another one of those unusually fast motors in it. Phillip catches up in the corners, but then can't even stay in the draft on the straights. Not taking anything away from Doug's smooth & consistent driving though.

It's really cool that most of the front runners are sharing their videos. With the exeption of Dean, the prior generation almost never did this.

I liked the phrase someone else used in another thread...that car is a real "stump puller"

Might be my imagination but I think our car was affected less in the heat than the 1.6's...it was just strong(relatively speaking) in the straights.

That's what it's all about. To plagiarize a famous cyclist, "It's not about the bike (or car)." Dan Mairani always says that the best part of racing are the people you hang out with. Couldn't agree more.

BTW, Dan's new motor will get installed in the next couple weeks. Hope to see him back at the track soon!
