Daytona reports PLEASE

Alright Terry, you gave me a hard time at Registration about my videos being "boring." Here are a couple that were a little more exciting than my usual vids.
Rich(Bluemaxx) shows off his quick hands halfway thru the second lap of Friday's 2 hr enduro:

I take a loooooooooong slide spinning to avoid debris & dirt at the exit of the bus stop in the last lap of the 2nd Sat Sprint Race:

More Daytona ***-Clownery
Here's some more Daytona *** Clownery!
It's the 2nd hot-lap of our first day at Daytona and I'm chasing down a white 997 GT3. Everyone's still a bit timid about passing on the banks, so all of the action is still happening on the infield.
As we approach turn 1, the white GT3 goes low and I tuck in behind my good buddy Bob in the grey 996. Bob leaves the white car plenty of room on the inside, but is now way off the pace. ....which I naturally take as an invitation to "outside" and put myself on the inside of the turn 2 right hander. Bob's got his eye on the white car on his left, and doesn't realize his crazy friend Terry's having a go on his right side. He shuts the door and I put two in the dirt.
.....hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time!
We've been laughing and busting ***** about that ever since.

You get style points for trying to restart the engine while its still spinning!
In the first video, I was most impressed by the legs on that little 944. Who's car is that?
Now I wanna here it from Rich - which racing excuse are you gonna use for your spin? this one's gonna good!

Now that wasn't boring at all Jeff! In your second video, I love the way you're flat out through the kink. Your entry into the horseshoe is great - you turn in and get right back on the throttle - great stuff.

The 944 Turbo was driven by Ira Rosner & Drew Altman. They had that thing spooled up pretty good. Had them covered until I spun.
Rich made a rare mistake, he was a little slow getting his downshifts done before the bus stop & under-blipped the throttle causing the rears to start to lock up & get loose at the turn in. Still can't believe he saved it. He rarely makes mistakes so when I caught this one on film I had to post it up. He will be posting his in-car version of this code brown moment in the next couple of days.
