Just got back from the Grand Finale Race! What a blast the race was. probably the best of the year. neck and neck for the frist 3 cars, the viper comp coupe, the turbo NSX and my car, still driven to the track. the v8 Rx7 broke, I was gridded just ahead of the PTG-like M3 and it broke on the pace lap . 
the Firehawk 300zx was 4th and good ole scot was 5th. (the Panos were in there too, but behind me, in their different class). times were all 1:37.xx. I just couldnt get around the viper and then it got past the 600hp NSX, who was in the middle of blowing a head gasket, and then I couldnt do anything with him, but get door to door on the last turn before the checker only to lose the drag race. . anyway, great time. We pitched tents in the BIG tents used for the GTGP next weeknd, so it was like Chateu Laguna. Fun driving back from the track in formation. you get home QUICK in a 928 vs pulling a trailer!! 
Good news on the video. got the entire race, but its in fast motion!. I got some incabin footage and rear view too, but the rear view is not very interesting.

This is about as far as the 3 of us got apart during the entire race.
you got to love our Chateau Laguna accomodations!
We slept in the GTGP set up tents for next weekend. complete with block out blinds!
For the enduro, there was a Lemans racer there! powered by a 3.4L monster motor putting out over 600hp. 200+ at lemans in the '90s down the mulsanne straight.
Beautiful GT40 racer too!
Steve showed up and took this picture of us with the cars. He was camera shy and didnt want his famous mug to be recognized, so his car was a stand in.

Well, I have some video, but dont know what do to with it. Does anyone want to see it?
I took some incar stuff, kind of, interview like, in the car on the way to the track, then the fast motion footage of the race. any suggestions of a music clip for the video? I also have some incar footage facing the driver which actually sounds really cool, and the only video that turned out as planned , was the rearview cam, but that is only interesting for the first lap.
anyone want to see it? If so, ive already compressed it and all I need to do is splice it together and add music.
thanks

Thanx for the video, Mark.
Great editing job.
Loved the interior side view.
You're obviously making no attempt to copy my patented "death grip shuffle steer" method of driving.
Very smooth.
