WAY TO GO, Paul! Nice! And that tally was in spite of the fact that Paul never threatened to break anyone's knees (like someone else we know).

Here's a 3 min video from Road America, couldn't use the real juicy stuff, that's for the banquet. Podium vids processing now, will post asap.

If this isn't the "real juicy stuff", one can only salivate at the thought of the banquet video !!! Nice job Doug, as always !

Viz

PS - So just how did you get those shots of you in the Mini ?? Was the camera attached to a Mr Chicken door mounted dinner tray ?

Wow
that is an awesome video - Do you mind if I share the video with some of my non racing friends? (I would like to use it as a recruiting tool )

Harsha, As much mentorship as you've recieved from any one individual, you've passed on to me in triplicate.

I'm late to this party but you know how proud I am for your win and how much more impressed I am with your humble, dogged persistence. You are a model for many.

And this from a man that so freely gives back what he gets!!! Great prose!

It is so much more than a sport, it is a metaphor for life and it can put you in direct contact with the flow that animates all living things. I always used to think that birds flew and porpoises swam because that's just the way they evolved and they don't know anything else, now I watch them and I can see that while much of their activity has a goal of getting to food or getting from A to B, some of it is just for the sheer fun and pleasure of knowing they can. As I was flying through the Kink faster than I ever have before, with the turn-in just so and the car steering on rails stone-cold-dead flat for the first time ever, I really didn't care how the race ended, I was just exhilarated by the freedom of being able to do this so well. I felt like those hawks that spend whole summer days circling on risers and then cascading to earth. Who cares about the points, I can fly in a race car! Damn that's awesome!

I was the slowest person in my 3-day until the afternoon of the third day, and 20 sec off the pace in my first 2 race weekends, of course DFL. I was not one who showed any "natural ability" in the beginning. I labored for a year at the back of the grid. That is why it doesn't bother me when my pals rib me about it taking so long for me to win my first race. I am still pinching myself that I can actually drive like this. If Skip Barber can teach me to drive, they can teach anyone.

Perhaps this could be modified to increase capacity and..uh...reassign the output??

Harsha:

Have not seen the TJ/SB web site for some time. I'm tickled to see that you won a "Big Boy" race at RA. As I recall you first won a Sportsman at Sebring? about two years ago. I remember how excited you were at the time so I am sure you are even more pleased now. As well you should be. Congratulations!!! If anyone else had posted about going to the Himalayas to get brake foot enlightenment I would have blown them off but not you. I suspect you did just what you said.
Mahaharsha YogeshYogi, Sen Master, I stand in awe!!!!
