Great vidio, great drive! Tbat 510, no.45, is one strong mother! You dumped him, but when you lifted for the 356 coupe, he was still right there. A fun afternoon, bet you slept well.

Thanks Gerry. Those 510s are good little race cars. The video skips over some laps because there was nobody directly in front of me to watch. Behind me was much more exciting. The silver 356 was glued to me up until a couple of laps before the yellow coupe spun. When he broke the Datsun was not far behind and when I struggled to get my tall geared, cammy engine car to go again he zipped past. Early in the race the Datsun and the Porsche passed when I selected too high a gear. The engine is totally non-responsive below 5000rpm.
