Default NASA Nationals PTA Race

Finally finished editing and uploading the video from the PTA Race at NASA Nationals a couple of weeks ago.

Any updates on what caused that fancy clutch to fail on you?

No. The car is on the back burner at the shop and I am in no hurry for it since I am not using it again this year.

Only two "moments"? That's a record for you. Nice work Kevin and congrats on the race.

Here is the view from my car. No comments in the video, so here are a few:

1) Start outside Kevin. Wearing earbuds for radios for the first time this week and can't hear the engine. All over the rev limiter the entire race.

2) Kevin's start is huge, there is a decent view of the rubbing in first turn, and Kevin puts distance on the rest of us as we fight traffic and each other.

3) Skip 5:30 to about 14:00 as those laps are full course yellow.

4) About 29:45, I am about 30% certain I am going to hit Kevin. Hard on brakes and pedal is slowly going to the floor. I can't grab third gear so I can't take full advantage of my move.

5) I bobble in turn 12-13, then had a brain fart and lift at about 32:10 and give the position back.

6) Around 32:30, I had a pretty good slide and I am done. All over the track the rest of the race.

Great job on the start, and great job hanging in there. I can hear Dawn yelling at you to stop whining and drive the xxxx car. She really has pushed you this year (think Charlotte)! Your welcome for the pass on Chris, but I was not really battling him after that. I had my sights on you. I was planning to press you until you gave me something, but I bobbled in 12 & 13, then lifted going into 1 and gave the position back to Chris.

Great job, and congrats!

Thanks, Morris. You had several great slides/saves in my vid.

I am looking forward to going back to Mid-Ohio one of these years.
