Mid Ohio

Sebring (Long and Short)
Moroso
Summit Point
VIR (North and Full)

I haven't gotten that hi-tech YET....The site is taking off pretty well so I plan to "upgrade" to that later. I'm trying to keep this as inexpensive as possible to help the DE guys and racers. Each tape is at least 2 hours long and only $10...lots of both school and race footage!

Check out this site and download tape 1. Some pretty good sample footage of a race at Sebring. The other two samples are just cool down laps. I don't know why they put them on there??

Hey Chris, long time no see...
I'd be interested in your RA and Moroso tapes.
I'll try and get to your site in the next couple of days.

Oh, BTW, the link you posted isn't working (now anyway), just thought I'd let you know.

C Ya!

I checked the link again and it works here, so who knows. I've had great luck ever since posting on this forum. I got 4 or 5 orders the first week that said they saw it here. I found I get a lot of "traffic" from those folks who are doing the one lap of America thing. I have 2 or 3 tracks on that list and considering you're only going to get one look at those, I can't imagine NOT wanting to see them in advance!!! I'm also getting lots of traffic from the racers who want to see possible passing zones and just the entertainment of the race itself. T1 is very competitive this year and a blast to watch!!

Keep 'em coming! Thanks! :D

I'll be running Carolina Motorsports Park this weekend so I should have some new footage of that track (via my Z06) at this SCCA National race. Let me know (wtknght1@aol.com) if you're interested in the video!
