This video has been posted in the Road Atlanta National thread - just re-posting here to keep the video vault complete

This is my in-car video from The Road Atlanta National May 2012 qualifying lap, setting the pole behind Drago and Sandlin, and almost spinning out in my own fluids in the process. My radiator hose blows off depositing the radiator coolant under the tires. I honestly thought that I had a cut left rear tire, thats what it felt like. Hopefully next time it will happen in a corner again and I will know enough to just pull over and save the engine.

I suggest clicking through to YouTube to watch full screen

It takes some serious skill to roll that much speed through turn 7 in third. I haven't given it a shot yet myself with the Hoosiers but very impressive lap. :thumbsup:

I bet y'all were going at least 150mph on the back straight with that draft lineup!
