Here is my video from the weekend. Not one of my best even with the win on Saturday. The car was a little tight on Saturday but not terrible. The car was very tight on Sunday and I had to overslow corner entry not to run off at exit.  It happens :)  Made up for some of it with good qualifying, an excellent car and lots of laps of experience.

 

Sorry for the amatuer hour video.. but no editing and unfortunatley they are in two parts again.  Sorry, no Mark "miittens" Drennan video post race :)

Gotta give you credit on the Sunday finish.  Not one bit of evidence in the cockpit of surprise, emotion or frustration after the finish.  Not even a head shake, a wave of the arm or a yell.

X2 props for that I would have had arms flailing and fingers raised. That had the potential to be a sports car magazine cover 3 wide finish

Your point one, naw, your to cool and reserved behind the wheel.

 

Your point two, had Jim not lifted it would have been another Watkins Glen.

Jim - thanks for posting those videos, great to ride along with you. Great racing both days, Sunday's race was hard fought between you and Bender. Tough break at the end.

Agree!  After that move to take the race away,  I was expecting a meltdown, no idea how you didnt lose your mind.  Nice drive both days and thanks for posting.  Impressive to see how consistent you guys are at those speeds.

It was probably just shock. He wins there so often he probably didn't realize what happened. Kind of like when the good guy in a movie looses and arm in battle but keeps on going.
