CJ - thanks for sharing. Felt like I was there. you need to break the habit of leaving your hand on the shifter though; bad things could happen quickly. Nice quality video.

Re: 356 Race Video from Watkins Glen a few days ago
My car has been popping out of third gear otherwise I would have both hands on the wheel. At the Glen there is a lot of 3rd gear running. I decided to skip the Sunday race because of the trans problem and associated risk. I almost skipped the Saturday race too. It was popping out 2 or 3 times per session and totally unpredictable. The trans is about to be pulled and repaired for Sebring in February.Richard Emerson wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 1:09 pm CJ - thanks for sharing.

No, he has a standard paint scheme. That is his Vintage race car vs the BaT car being his SCCA 1994 championship car.Jay Wiener wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 6:29 pm wasn't that the car he just bought on Bring a Trailer. Vic?

Cliff, it looks to responds to the steering wheel more tidily than your old racer. Looking good!

Not very. I am used to motorcycles though. Racing the bike on the banking at Daytona is many times more intense.

Took a fall there in the nineties and lost a full day of memory. Wished it had been one of my wedding days instead.
