Nice Video of a Factory RSR Strafing Runs

Nice video of Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport Racing warming up his factory Porsche RSR and doing a few strafing runs down the street.

Nice! I was a passenger for some Gammer strafing...I kissed the ground when it was over.

Jeff did the suspension and brakes on my '87 about 5 years ago. Transformed the car. Guy knows his stuff...

With all due respect to Gamroth, I'm not sure that I would be posting videos of driving a race car on public roads, in excess of the speed limit and violating other motoring laws.

Rothsport does great work and a great bunch of guys, but haven't the police used videos like this to go after folks for unlawful activity? Perhaps Jeff gives rides to the local law enforcement to teach them about car control, so he gets a "free pass". If that's the case, then well done!

Jeff, your the man. That engine sound and performs fantastic. The rotational mass must weight next to nothing. Great video no matter what.

That's a pretty quiet area with next to no traffic in the middle of the day. Well, usually quiet...

I think you'll find this typically in high profile cases, especially where the "criminal deed" was witnessed by law enforcement/multiple civilian witnesses. A video like this (alone) wouldn't stand a chance for conviction...especially as there are some much more incriminating on the net...I think its an awesome vid!
