That was sweet! A good way to start the day - now I will think about driving all day instead of working.


Thanks!

Maybe 'cause it's all clogged up with other vids.

Ah, compressed time format. Very smart, Derek.

Anyone still thinking of Bob's tonite?

Porsche Crest Porsches at Nurburgring 1970

Jeff Hailpern sent me this link to racing at Nurburgring in 1970. Very interesting.

It stimulated three thoughts.

1. I'm glad Dave B.s runs are safe and not like these runs.


2. Porsches don't roll while all others do easily. (Very nice for us Pelicans)

3. Watch out for that left-hander... (no safety equipment?)

Since we are on a video kick I'll throw this one in. A race at Spa for recent vintage ('70s-'80s) production cars. Most of it is onboard in a DTM spec BMW E30 M3 driven by Mark Duez. I have an E30 M3 so this is a little bit of flag waving!

Thanks for posting Kurt. Very cool footage from in the cockpit view.
Nice duel with the blue RSR. The BMW is seemingly fast, watch out.

I don't own a camcorder, so I didn't know. Good idea, though.
Great music.

Ironic how the two most potentially deadly offenses (cell phone use and texting) happen to be the cheapest. Park in handicapped spot though and it's almost a thousand bucks.
