Good shots. Now I see a vid cam in the cabin. Any chance of posting the vids?!?
I wish I could. I had a web site for track videos but it disappeared. I haven't looked into Youtube but I doubt I could get it small enough to post a 2:30 video of a lap.

I loved the E30 M3 shot too -- it looks just like my '89 M3 -- in Alpine White of course!!

Guys;
I just joined Vimeo to post my videos. They allow 500MB per week which might do. I finally got my Laptop/Camcorder/digitize/upload setup complete.

Try this link to see it.
I hope I got the security settings right. I think they allow downloads as well but it is 90MB.
The clip is about 1/3 of my 4th session. You can see how long and how hard you go on the track. I am still fine tuning my driving with an instructor. I picked this clip because you can see the speedo. I do hit 120-130 twice a lap.

I've heard VIR is a nice track and it sure looks like it from the video. Great photos too.

I'm really jealous as I look out at the snow. Come early June I'll be at Waterford Hills for our local CCA chapter's first school of the year -- can't wait!

Those are awesome pictures and a great video Richard! Looks like you had a total blast. Hmmm...I might have to make a trip down to Virginia now.
