So where is this "boring" footage?
I don't recall ever seeing it available and I for one would truly enjoy being along for the ride with ya, good times or bad.
Especially bad! Just kiddin', sort of... ;-))

  Matt,
  If I spliced all the in car video together it would stretch around the world. Its all pretty boring except for the time the car caught on fire or the camera came loose from its mount and vibrated around until it was filming out the passenger window then back over to me, where upon I smacked the camera  and it fell on the passenger floor and filmed the in-car-carpet for 30 more minutes.

  Congratulations Mad Dog (and Vikes) on a what sounds like a seriously good time had by all,on and off the track.

  Now what I want to know is any video forthcoming of the "Flying Phoenix" on the course?
  Don't tell me you cheeped out and didn't have in-car camera rolling...
  Don't make me have to come down there myself and film Asa Jay flying down 318 in your car come September!

  Nice job TPR!
  Matt

  And I don't want to hear another slacker call to arms until I get an in-car video!!! ;-)

  MKM Racing (bonneville 100 and Pony Express) have a 'Hand Timers Award' for guys still using stop watches?with no GPS. 

  Personally I don't even pay attention to anything but course conditions and engine?vitals (oil, fuel,?and water pressures & temp)....I might glance at Tach but I just listen to?the sweet music of how everything sounds at WOT.

  The biggest compliment you can get is to?have 'course workers' come up to you at any open track or open road race after you have blown by them?and have them tell you that your Pantera sounded better then any car in the competition.....thats a beautiful thing...Will is right on.

  Again, gotta give thanks to the?'vendors' who are also my friends?who made it all happen....Russ Fulps for engine,?Dick Drenske for cooling, chassis and suspension and general wrenching, Mike Trusty for fuel injection, and Richard Clewett for tuning.
