Yea, I know. Hey I want tv time too, not ashamed to admit that . If we hadnt been battling temps I would have been much more a part of that battle. Hanging back was a strategic and dare I say even a more mature (those that know me well will gasp in disbelief) decision, and had I known I was going to toast the motor anyway I would have either hung back more or gotten into the frey to a greater extent!!!

No TC in Long Beach, they raced the GT cars on Saturday so that the teams would have an extra day of transport but still a very quick turnaround time there! TC's have the same situation, racing back to back weekends, later this year.

Sebring World Challenge GT #53 In-Car Footage

Hello all--here's the Sebring race in-car footage for the World Challenge GT team I manage and engineer.

We have the only *old* car in the field (a '98 Dodge Viper GTS), and started a team/driver best of 15th. As you can see in the video, we had a number of issues (some self-inflicted) that caused us to finish 18th.

Based on where the car that started 14th finished, a trouble free run could have likely resulted in a top 10 finish.

The video is huge, and hi-res, so if you don;t mind the 422mb file, you'll likely enjoy the footage.

One note--we ran out of tape with about 10 minutes left in the race, but admittedly, there wasn't much that got missed.

The video is kindly hosted by GoFastVideo.com--please check out the wealth of other great racing videos they have!
