What a Great video, tell me Speed Channel can't run this type of video instead of Pinks! Jim can I handle your autograph session at your next visit to Sebring? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Thanks. I just wish I could have done better than 3rd place. I thought they did a pretty good job in the production of the video considering what they had to work with. The remnants of Hurricane Ike hit Mid Ohio with 70+ mph winds a few laps into our race and they had to pull the camera guys down from the scaffolds for safety reasons. That's why the latter half of the race is mostly shown from our in car cameras.





They produced videos of 8 of the NASA championship races, and I can guarantee you that all 8 are far more entertaining than Pinks or a lot of the other crap you'll see on Speed. Hopefully one of these years they'll be able to get these broadcast.

That was some good racing - so agree on the SpeedChannel needing this programming alot more than 'Living the Low Life'. Can't wait to get my 968 out on the track.



Nice move on the inside with some props for the driving from the commentators!

Excellent...! Great race I heard; and can see from the production. 3rd place is certainly no small accomplishment given the competition (and conditions) Jim... Are u planning on doing MMP for 09?

I don't think so. The current expectation is that there are not going to be many GTS cars out there since most are located in the eastern part of the country. That combined with the expenses of getting out there and the extra time away from work it will require make it difficult for me to justify it.
