Loved it - and I'm still laughing at Dez.
Sure wish I could make it up to VIR with you guys.

Can't wait to see the Rd America report!

With NASA everybody fighting for the podium for tires and contingency, with NARRA it's the same, plus everybody fighting for "TV time"

It helps a grassroots racer go after sponsorship (even small sponsorship) when the company writing checks knows their name/logo will be "out there" more than just being seen locally at that event

This NARRA coverage is awesome. It's even better than a lot of stuff you'll see on SPEED.
I'd much rather watch this than reruns of Pimp My Ride, Truck U or anything with Stacy David in it.

I think I've got a new channel to watch! That was an excellent video, or was it a news clip?

Thanks for sharing, and have a good one,
Mike

we caught that off the cuff, but I think we may have to do a feature piece on it all by itself in the future, wow!

for future videos, do you guys like what we are doing? anything you'd like to see that we aren't showing? more behind the scenes stuff? more racing? more driver profile stuff? segments on "NARRA 101" rules and information about NARRA? shorter? longer?

please let us know how we can make it better

I think learning about some of the driver's is neat. I have no idea who the guy driving the turbo Porsche is, but I assume he's an ex pro athlete. Neat to hear him compare the skills needed to perform at a high level in his sport to high level sports car driving.

BTW emailed you with some questions for the upcoming VIR event with them. Need to get signed up.
