Unfortunately, that is the only video I have. I thought about taking a video camera but forgot. Will definitely take one next time.
Bob may have in-car footage from his gopro. Give him a chance to get home and I am sure he will post something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

OK, Here's a video
It's not my fastest time, but the sound in the video from my best time got all screwed up - odd really. Honestly, I forgot to record my first few runs, so I only have 3 on video... This was my first run of Sunday morning. On this run, I experimented with shifting to 4th (stayed in 3rd all day Saturday). You can see I should have shifted back to 3rd a couple times, but I was so busy in the car I still wasn't really sure where and when yet. I had planned on trying different things throughout the day, but after Nadine's run, there was a strange rattling in the engine area that we couldn't pinpoint and decided to hang it up for the day so to not make the mystery noise get worse...we'd already had way too many engine issues lately!! Still ended up with 1st in class by about 13 seconds, so I wasn't worried...just wanted a faster time! You can see how bumpy the road is! It turns out we bottomed out a bunch of times onto the headers - on the lift today one of the pipes on the drivers side is worn flat! This event is an absolute blast! They're running another one the beginning of August. If you can't run in it, come by and be a spectator. Really cool cars! (there was a McClaren Can Am car running!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IDGLlBFw8Y |

Love the video, Bob. If I can make it to the August climb, I will definitely get a media pass so I can position myself along the course that offers better photo and video views (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
