I finally found an old video (probably from 1999) I was looking for 
and captured about 38 seconds of it it to use in my class this 
weekend at PIR.  One of the things that we stress to the Students is 
the importance of maintaining a line so that you are predictable on 
track.  Don't move over to allow a car by because you may not be 
aware of another car also wanting to pass.

This video starts on the approach to Turn 9 (uphill hairpin) where I 
checked my mirrors and I let a Porsche Cup Car pass my TR3 by staying 
deeper into the corner to let him stay on the line on exit.

The video them continues down the back straight and into the Oval 
where I am passed by two more Porsche Cup Cars on either side of me!

It is the top video on our TR Club website Gallery
