    Now that is funny .

        It's in the NERR picture thread... so I guess that would actually make it a picture/video thread huh?

          Here it is , after we get on the track, some guy (who can can't see, but you can hear it) doing a burn out , rumor is it was a White 56 Chevy hahahaha about the 3:38 mark



          Turns out there was a lady in a Volvo (if you know where to look on the video you can see her, who was not with is and behind us when we started, turns out, she skipped the dogleg and came out in front of the pack) you can see it to the right about the 5:46 mark

          &

          the Pace Truck stopped the field,

          I had just accelerated when I saw they stopped. so I planned to go around the truck ahead of me.

          $hit happened pretty fast, I kept it in control pretty well, I thought. and it wasn't till after I stopped I let out my scream


          As you watch this, think of the things that went right. We did things with safe distances and were not doing stupid things on the track. We were not racing each other, Rick's truck, which I followed, could accelerate faster than me so when were went fast I knew I would have more room. I left space going around corners.

          Also you see in the corners I did not follow right behind the truck, I always made sure I could see. You can see how accelerated and you can see the Charles (the guy with the Video Camera) was doing what was comfortable for him too.
          I was driving in my comfort zone too. I have owned this car for 37 plus years, it was overhauled in 2010-2011 and I put on a excellent suspension, ie Hotchkis, It handle great and as you can see when needed it did it job and I made a nice flat turn.

          It is an example of planning for the "just in case"  want it appears after the 7:30 Mark

          We did another lap after this & it was a blast, best $ 15.00 I have spent

              Nice job Bill (or should I say Joey Chitwood). Looked really cool. How fortunate (or not) the video camera was in the right place at the right time.
