Well.....these things get longer every year.... (the videos, not my posts....well, ok, I'm kinda verbose at times as well)
This year's video is up on YouTube and it is over 32 minutes long this time.
I did something a little different this year (since I wasn't at the track for ANY elimination runs) and posted only the time trials. I tried to get every car that took a shot
on Friday and Saturday. I would guess that most folks would rather watch the eliminations, but I wasn't at the track for any of them.
And then there were a couple of camera/battery/camera operator issues that caused me to miss a couple fast runs, sorry!
As usual, I really enjoyed the whole weekend and give a big thanks to Jody and Doug for spearheading this very cool event, and to everyone that brought a car.
I appreciate Every. Single. Car. that was there.
This particular event and a couple of the Lime Rock events are the only vacations that I actually plan for and set aside the time.
I was happy to see Barry's car launch better and put down some nice numbers, I have his 10.95 in there. (I believe that he was happy about that as well)
And Mr Fotti never fails to impress....the ONLY elimination run I have is at the end of the vid during the first round of the Cobra Jet Shootout
and I think it put a smile on his face (again).
I was pleased to finally meet Rory and Tom, Whenever Rory posts a response to a question on either forum I know I'm going to learn something with his thoughtful
posts. I'm glad that the weather cleared so they could enjoy the weekend a bit more. I mostly hung with the CT contingent but made a point of finding them to thank
them for making the trip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZemTawpl1gI also tried to stay on the ET board a bit longer because the YouTube commentors crabbed about it a little on the last vid.
All in all I think it gives a pretty good sampling of the weekend, even if there isn't any 'real racing'.
And there you have it.
