For those who are interested in these, here's videos from my three races
last weekend at Road America. They were all excellent good close battle
races.
First one (Saturday PM group 2 Sprint Race) was an epic battle with
Nathan Burress in his black bugeye sprite. He's upped his motor prep,
and is a fierce competitor now. The last lap we did about half of it
side by side. Big delay on the grid with my cameras running, so the
batteries died on the last lap. Rear died around the Kink area, front
one died about 20 car lengths before finish of the race. Bonus footage
from Dave Amys who was following us and ended up 3 wide with us at the end.

Second one (Sunday AM group 2 Feature Race) was a good battle with Dave
Amys. Near the end I dropped two wheels off at the exit of the Kink
trying to catch Dave, luckily nothing bad occurred (that's a good spot
to write off a race car). Dave bested me in the end, we both set best
lap times of the weekend in this one - Dave ran a 2.52.xx, I did a 2.53.xx.

Last one (Sunday PM Founders Tribute), was an epic battle with Dave
Amys. I counted 12 passes between the two of us. Unfortunately Dave's
tranny bit the dust 1.5 laps from the end. There was a huge grid, but at
4:25 pm on Sunday most had left. I was gridded like 48th but started on
the 3rd row. Awesome awesome battle, lots of side by side action,
drafting, cross overs, just good hard clean racing. Dave is a quick
learner and getting harder and harder to beat.
