Sorry?
Want my file tonight?
Been trying to get it on Youtube (freebie)but I keep getting errors in uploading.
Not my 1st time uploading so don't know what's the deal.

I need to do my enduro lights tonight for this weekend, so I'm not really going to screw with it for a while.

I had a outstanding weekend and a ton of fun racing with everyone. The Oregon guys were fast and good racers as expected and really made us work hard for those results. Charlie did a great job and
will be winning races soon.

Here is video of Juan's bumper "falling off". Sorry for the video quality, we were experimenting with the exposure settings on our camera and its a bit washed out in this clip.

Hey Alberto, Johnny, Thanks for posting those! Good battles. That first lap was crazy! Who bumped the 08 car in T3? -Juan

All I see in the video is Tupper behind 08 into 2 after that who knows.
Funny, I had 3 gals too much gas after the race, over weight at the start, and had the toe knocked out but did okay. That's why some of my lines and aren't quite right.

Sunday a whole new set of issues. I'll post that one soon.

Starting P12, opportunity abounds. At least that's what Juan thinks.

Started mid pack and failed at the end of the race.
I applied some slow motion to the wrecks I saw especially T3 on the first lap.
Currently working on Sunday's Group 17 race and the Festival videos.

Joshua, I love the commentary. Keep those eyes on the road! :) Thanks for posting!

All, please post your videos too! SM is much more amusing than SpeedTV.

Thanks for posting, Juan. Great battles. I swear, Barry's car was about 12 feet wide... just couldn't get past folks after giving up spots at the start and re-start.

Cheers,
Greg

I'm curious about something...

Who can I thank for that wonderfully awesome start at the last SM Festival race? The pole sitter or race control?

The last race of the day was awesome. All the cars started out nice and close and most of the back of the pack was actually together and in formation before the green flag dropped. It actually felt like a real race.

The other races of the weekend, the green flag was dropping while the rest of us were still in the corkscrew 1/2 way round the track...

Difference between a points race and a race.
Drivers sipping Starbucks, texting before the green on the last one. :D
Note: warm up 1st half of track, be on that guys A$$ in front of you 2nd half.
If you're in back you can start racing from the last turn at about all our tracks with 50+ cars.
