HPDE at Watkins Glen (video)

Heres a couple of clips from the Aug. 18-19 HPDE I attended at Watkins Glen international raceway, WHAT A BLAST !

I showed up the night before and apparently a few people were saying how an Airbagged truck would be a total disaster on the track........hmmmmm

The one talking smack was driving a grey Evo MR....

"Weird Science"? That song is never allowed to overlay a vid unless Kelly LeBrock is in the Vid.

Other than that......pretty sweet.

Way to go Ian!!!! Truck looks smooth and stable through the turns.

I see a bright "fabbing" career ahead. Look forward to seeing pictures of the completed set-up.

Was that Lacina in the truck with you in the second video?

great vids!

ive been able to run my truck hard several times here at road atlanta, but always parade laps where you cant pass. its fast but you always have a vehicle in front of you setting the pace. im afraid that if i was allowed to run ***** out like you, i wouldve ended up spinning out too

Ian it looks like you were having a blast at The Glen. That track is about an hour south of where I am from.
