Default Watkins Glen [Race video]
Some footage of the beginning of the first sprint race. Had a really good early battle with the leaders then faded back when my brakes went bad. When I got back in my left front pads were totally shot. A lesson learned. Pagid yellows go quickly when the get below the halfway mark.

Nice driving, Scott (as always - admittedly I'm supposed to be working so I just watched until you got around that #5 car...).

Here's the start of the Enduro, Orange group (looks like slow motion compared to Scotts!). Cross posted from the "I was seventh!" thread.

(sorry, Vimeo issue--now on YouTube)

Nice...I like the smoke screen the silver car gave you in the boot.

That's been my experience too. Going to try the new PFC 08 next set which are supposed to be a good endurance alternative.

Nice vid! Looked a bit loose at the top of the esses

Nice driving Dr. K.

I didn't think of it until I saw someone else's video on Youtube today. Just lucky I guess.

Nice driving Scott.

Dr. K - freakin great start. You had a damn good weekend

My enduro ended due to visibility issues . . . .


Sprint 2 was a hoot. Me and another SPB had a good back and forth thing happening.

Fantastic start Dr. K !!!!
And fantastic finish.

After watching all the carnage during your race it was an accomplishment to finish let alone finish 7th overall.
