Vimeo is your best bet but you would have to resize it down prior to uploading it, I would use Window's Movie Maker and drag the orginal video clip on top the editing timeline and make the video as a .mwv or .mpeg file and you can also decrease the qualilty a bit to help with decreasing the file size.

This was my very first club race, and I had an absolute blast!! My first practice session out, I was a GTA sandwhich through turn one, and all I could think about was how cool and how scary that was all at the same time. I wish I could have been there Saturday to do the sprint races, but running the enduro was amazing. I was sooo dehydrated at the end, and sore! I couldn't be happier with my finish though. Thanks Christian and Peter and everybody else who helped me; I really appreciate it!

Juan,

Congratulations on both the class and overall win in the Black Enduro on Sunday. You are are a credit to PCA Club Racing and a credit to Brady and all the great guys at 901 Shop in Stuart, FL. I thought it was a real plus for PCA Club Racing when Bruce and Ray Newman took the time to personally come out to find you after the race to let you know they had corrected the results to give you the overall win. You deserved it.

Understood. Still not sure how to think about their performance though. In stock trim they are E cars as spbox they run 300lbs lighter. Mods are close to stock class with the exception of headers (is that right)? In my mind, the 300lbs more than makes up for the tires. Give me 300lbs (i.e., 30 additional hp) in my car and I'll gladly run R888's and maybe even catch Fred . Add in the fact they have better brakes and suspension than the torsion bar cars and I would think they would smoke the E field. It will be interesting to see how they perform as the year progresses. I would expect them to really perform strongly as the year goes on and more guys race/optimize the setup.

No comments on the blame thing. But i will say that the white 914 may have surprised the blue 944 upon braking (like a double application of brakes for instance).

Gary, the real question is what happens after Feb 15 with your car?

Many thanks Dan!!!

Brady and the rest of the team at 901Shop again gave me a perfect car and pit-stop (5:02 ! - and the 02 was my fault). I'm spoiled, their service, enthusiasm and dedication is unsurpassed.

I did not have an aero package nor had I ever driven on R6's until Saturday, they took care of providing for aero improvements and adjusting the car for the new tires. They sat down to go over the data with me and made some adjustments to my driving style to better suit the R6's and well, I won my class in all races.

On the PCA front, I agree, Bruce and Ray were great, they sat down and figured out the problem with timing and scoring. Their attention to this by coming to our camp to explain the situation and provide me with both an apology and the revised results was top notch.

That was a real plus to PCA Club Racing. Well done and appreciated.

See you at Sebring in March

Yes, I also suspect that we'll see faster times as people "optimize" the setup

So you're going with your standard motor and not upgrading.
