Wow! Today's races ... when they finally got going due to the weather ... were no kidding edge-of-your seat, stuff.
I was camped out in T1 & T2 and got a great view of the action ...
I'll be posting a more of what I caught with my camcorder over the next few days ... but here's a clip of Arnie Hastings.
After getting a great start, then running off (in T10, I think), then getting back on track, then catching a bunch of folks working his way back up the line, he eventually went down in T1. He's just fine. It was great watching him fight to make back positions.
I think 9 or 10 people started that race ... only 3 finished.
It was in that wet/"not-so-wet" transition period that always seems so hard to deal with.
Afterwards, I tracked Arnie down in the pits. I said, "Arnie, that was about a 100 mph crash." His response (with a smile) was, "yeah".
You racers just are not sane people. LOL.
Good luck to everybody tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be perfect. Wish I could be there, but got another film gig.
The Video (give it about 30 seconds to load):

I heard there were some spectacular crashes in T10 too.. Not sure if it was the same race or not.
I like that Magic Rat graphic at the end, very cool looking.
Thanks for posting the footage. awesome job

Are you hinting at an on-cor performance?
