Default PTB Race @ RRR 5-17-08 Shared in car Video!

Had a great race at Roebling this past month with our fellow competitor Matt in his s2k. Matt was also kind enough to share his video so I could dub both of ours together to make a 2nd person view from both videos. Turn our pretty cool and hope we continue to have great races and maybe not get held up with lap traffic .

Sweet!

I watched you guys run...that was a busy race track all weekend.

BTW; I know Jarred, he suggested I chat with you about setting up my car for TTc/TTB. I got my provisional TT license and need some pointers.

I will PM you later

Thanks jmark!

Dman, those were Thunder Roadsters, they come over from the circle track world. They have a sealed motor and run a god awful 600 series tire iirc, kinda like a legends car.

Axelerate, the Cobra is gone and is being enjoyed by another. Pm me about the spec's....

Looked like a great battle. Too bad about the spin at the end, but you saved the car to race another day.

Your not jokeing beta! Thinking about asking them to move us up to the faster run group. We won't be the the fastest cars then but at least we avoid the traffic.

sfarrah, your right, we got lucky twice from that one move and happy to take a second place rather than be fixing a car this week...

Looks like we have another 350Z singed up in PTC for the Barber event next weekend. Anyone know a Clark Crawford?

Having raced Spec Racer Fords in a group with Formula Atlantics and Sports2000s I can tell you its no fun being the slow car in a group. Sometimes its better to be the big dog because you have some control over when and where things happen.

Man that was a great video the editing made it very enjoyable. I hate the way the Bimmer was blocking you around minute 13, but enjoyed the way you passed him and made him move over. That spin looked scary with all the other cars coming.
