Ok boys and girls, here's 2 long awaited ice racing video from inside my battle weary little mule. I just treated myself to a new computer this year and it's quite a bit faster than the old one, which now makes downloading vids to you-tube a little more convienient all the way around.
The red dsm you'll see initially, is a "stud class car" not competing in our class, he's only there for the purposes of a local newspaper reporter's artical and photography.
What you'll be seeing in the first video is me starting on the grid in position # 3 getting a terrible launch, this track length is a little over .8 tenths of a mile by the way.
I'm behind a olds achieva (which the guy actually cut the entire trunk off of!?) on pole or position #1. There's a nissan sentra (1.6) in the #2 position with a mazda 323 (1.6 prepared by me) behind him in position #4. You'll see a neon (2.0) as well and finally at the end you see another neon I actually end up lapping! The flag man is off screen to the right, but you'll see him as I come down the straight.
I pulled off a hat trick on saturday with a 2nd place for the 4th race, I'll try and post that later so you can see how I threw first place away lol.
I am now firmly seated in first place in my class after 2 days of racing!
enjoy!
In this one you'll see where I get hit and pushed into a snow bank, (at the 2:05 mark) only to somehow emerge from it, but then I proceed to drive like a rabid squirrel for one entire lap lol. Check out my buddy whose working corner three as he steps out from behind his car (at the 2:35 mark) and gives me the international sign for: WTF JUST HAPPENED BACK THERE!? lol
I finally pull myself back together and make that beautiful KKK turbo of mine eat it's way down the straightaway and into a giant drift that ultimately results in me snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! (I swear I could actually hear Crystal Method's "Salty" playing in my head while I was doing that long drift!)
It's destined to be one of my favorite race memories of all times, and it's just that much sweeter that I caught it all on the video recorder too!
It absolutely freaks my wife out to watch the video...Enjoy!
