Great video, id like to see the car when he gets done with the turbo conversion.

You cant really appreciate how fast hes going in those turns until you watch his brake caliper keychain which can be seen in a few of the shots, that thing is swinging around all over the place, strangely entertaining!

I was wondering the same thing.

Looking at the website, it is a compilation of the 2005 season, including footage from:
Portland International Raceway
Mission Raceway
Other racetracks of the Pacific Northwest.

Great videos, Jim! Thanks.

Any idea what track that long video was from? Damn thing was narrow in places.

Hmm - so you're mesmerized by small shiny things swinging around? Are you sure you're not part racoon?

Falcon! I'm not sure. I thought I saw a sign that said "Elkhart Lake", but figure if it was, someone would have noticed. Does look fun.

Great video. I think some of the early footage is Mosport. I have seen other video of that car during the summer. The car is very competative and uses some specialized proprietary designed products for 968/951/944 from RS Barn. Is it Spring yet?

Hey, that video looks familiar. It is a somewhat random mix of stuff from Pacific Raceways (Seattle), Portland International and Mission Raceway (British Columbia). Only one of these tracks gets any road racing coverage on TV so I wouldn't expect them to be recognized outside the NW.
