That Camaro sounds reely good! Is he running a 302 or something bigger? It's hard to get a run on something with that kind of torque... Fun video. Thanks!

John...... I want more..... just when the addiction kicked in...the vid ended. What kind of of pusher are you to cut the vid short like that! Looks like a lot of fun. That track is on my bucket list.

Hey Mike--sorry it's short, not a fan of leaving it running if there's not much relative work going on & I'm a klutz at the GoPro stuff...my other vids on windsrfutube channel are also mostly short.
Actually did 9 races in 2021 so did get some chances to break jail during the lockdown, not too bad considering. Hoping to make the SVRA in Sebring in February...C'mon and join the fun with SVRA, HSR, VDCA, VRG--whatever you can get your hands on!

NICE videos John! You and Kermie are keeping some good company

Thanks John again, that was great. You had some good speed on the banking and I like the 5th to 3rd down shift coming off. Isn't it fun to drive with another car/driver as close to each other for all that time (can't get any better).

Next weekend is "The Mitty" with HSR at Road Atlanta. Wide variety of cars--two 904's in my group, one driven by Randy Beck--prolly never see them until they lap me. Other groups have folks like Doc Bundy and Bill Elliott--it's going to be a treat! I'll post videos when I can...

Just watched your Daytona video again, to much fun. Did you ever post the Mitty video you mentioned. Mark

Here's the start first lap of the Mitty. Note that the grid was basically inverted as qualifying was on a wet track and only eleven cars went out--all the big horsepower ground pounders didn't so were gridded behind us...note the lineup I passed as we gridded out. After the start you'll see the 800 HP 'Vettes go by along with a sweet Beck 904 on the back straight. Then disaster with both 'Vettes totalled coming out under the bridge there was nothing but smoke and car parts everywhere--no idea how I got through...not pretty....
