Here are some videos of the extremely difficult races between
me and Greg Amy in the two STL races at NHMS sunday. (if the
video appears choppy, cycle the HD OFF)

In the pm race we traded the lead 4 times, with the other 30
cars in the race providing challenge towards the end
In the am race, our competition brought us both personal
bests, 1:14.683 for me, 1:14.801 for Greg
Also included is a video of the pm race from Bob Blake's car,
which he furiously rebuilt in the 6 weeks since the disastrous
head-on in 11 with Tim Mullen...we were all pleasantly surprised
at how well the frame straightening/welding/reassy went together
and how straight and fast the car went...despite Bob's cautious
driving for its first time out.
After some alignment adjustments between the morning and afternoon
races, Bob picked up almost a full second, showing that he had
rebuilt the 82 car to equal or better than it was before.
Brian Bagnall also furiously rebuilt his car after the 6 weeks ago tangle he
had with the turn 3 tire wall. Also after frame straightening/welding/reassy
he was able to get it all back running fast and straight. Unfortunately Brian
suffered fuel pump problems, causing his car to stumble a bit in the morning
race, and retire early in the afternoon with no fuel to the motor....hopefully
it will just be a loose electrical connection caused by crash, and will be
easily fixed.
except for Brian's fuel pump, a great weekend!
