Default Some DE videos from Nord Stern's Last (Wet) Fling

Thought some of you might enjoy these. It's in car video from last weekend's DE at Brainerd International Raceway (BIR). The weekend could be summed up as very wet and windy but we still had a blast.

Were it not for my complete lack of skills, you might confuse me with Walter Rohrl...er, probably not.

As always, constructive feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

I was signed up, paid my registration, then couldn't go.

Any incidents to note? How does the new track layout look? Do you think there's any chance they'll have it paved by next year?

Sorry to hear that.

Aside from this poor chap during Friday's DT, nothing that I'm aware of.





I was foolish and had 4 off in T3 on the first lap of one of my Sunday sessions. Nothing hurt (aside from my pride). It was wet but for some reason I thought my tires had more bite than they obviously did and I ended up going straight off as though I had no brakes.

They're making progress. It was raining so hard this weekend that I didn't explore much. However, changes are definitely taking place and based upon what little I did see, it appears they have the base ready for paving. So, if I had to take a guess, I'd say it'll be ready for next year.

Both driver and instructor were fine...aside from the probable bruised ego.
