    Thumbs up SCCA Vintage/HSR-West Laguna Seca race video-

    The "Little" Blue Porsche was killing some giants. 43 cars, (Med bore > or = 2.5L added to Big Bore group) I clicked off a 1:44 lap time . I qualified 12th, grew some "Cojones" overnight and finished 1st in class, 5th overall. I am extremely pleased with the result. I'm figuring out this car again after all the changes.
    Enjoy.

    Fantastic! Great driving Chad. I loved watching the duel with the white mustang w/ blue stripes.

    Thanks. He was fast on the straights, slower in the corners like most Big Bore cars vs. Porsches. Once I was able to get by him at around the 10 min mark, I unleashed the hounds...lol. There where 4 Mustangs painted identical to that one, just different numbers. I could not keep them all straight.
    Thanks,
    Chad

    Ditto Here Chad !! Classic braking points against the mustangs, as always they love the straights, and give it right back in the corners. Very nice driving line too!!!
    Thanks for sharing, very appreciated !!

    All the best.

    It was so frustrating to watch those front engined, blue & white cars just sit on the apex and not get on the gas!!!! One has to be very patient to wait for their tires, brakes, and talent to wear out before you move up and pass. A really fun 20 minutes.

    cheers!

    Good looking car, Chad !

    I failed to bring my long lens with me so could not get good shots in the corkscrew..........how about a few in the pits.
