loved that telephoto shot just now of the line of cars all scrubbing their tires - looked like a 4th of July Parade or something...

That was a truly amazing angle. That should be reshown a few more times I would think. It would make a great trailor for wind tunnel etc.

Did I just hear someone call the Audi "the most significant sports car of all time"? Wow - them's tall words!

Might make a nice thread for OT:autos...

I sent you a couple of PM's and no reply. Let me know if you got them. I'm just wondering if my PM's are working or not . We just got new software and I'm wondering if it's stopping PM's again. Thanks Larry

Are you going to try ice racing this winter. I see you really like the rain.

THat was a great video onsasled! I spent a weekend at LRP in 75, met Bob Sharp and some new driver by the name of Paul Newman -- LOL! Both nice guys, especially Newman.

But watching the video, I knew exactly where you were on the track. In 75 it was the Vettes, Mustangs, and Firebirds that were off-roading on your favorite corner, while the Porsche 911s just whistled through there. Good luck with your tires, and keep the shiny side up!

Yes Larry, did get them. I've kinda been buried with them (PMs) lately so I get way behind in replies. I do enjoy hearing from you so stay in touch...

Good 'ol Paul is still there and with his new GT1 Vette (pic below). Still doing mid 50s! He is such a smoooooth driver, but he's having a hard time with duration I gather.

... there was no 'ready to roll' video. It was how this thread started with C-pilot's worry that he thought I was on the edge. I really wasn't, but it makes me think for sure. ... He was referring to the video linked to my sig.

Is there a Video Archive site we can go to? I l;ike watching them... I usually sit on the couch and watch as my wife watched TV.... everyonce and a while she will look over and say "Cool, but not in MY MINI" What she fails to remember is that is was supposed to be MY graduation gift to myself!

Ahh... gotcha! I guess I've seen enough of your videos (and other's track session videos) that you looked perfectly in control to me - hence my confusion.

Great video Onasled! I loved watching you reel in all those high HP high dollar cars! This is why I love cars like the Mini: the underdog sleeper factor.
