Some Fun at Watkins Glen Video

I posted my last couple of videos up here from my World Challenge Touring Car races. Well as we all know part of racing is taking risks and sometimes things happen faster than we can control. Here is a good video from my Watkins Glen race showing how fast incidents happen and why it is good get all the right safety equipment in the car. Oh and this clip made the Top 5 clips on the Speed Report.

In the video the first bit is from my teammate James Clay's car. The next snippet is from my other teammate Nick Esayian's car and the last little bit is from mine. Enjoy!

WOW , thanks for sharing. I watch you guys all the time. Hate seeing the Acuras and Mazdas up front all the time, what's with that anyway?

I saw the accident right before it happened, "oh that's a bit wide" then bam!

You are living the dream, hope you have a good rest of season

You should switch anyway to Farnbacher or Lizard, this a Porsche forum

Seth,
We watched that incident from the pits. Crazy crash-the barrier seemed to just suck the car in. I was very glad to see that everyone walked away. Sorry about the car damage to all involved! Can all three cars be repaired by Mid-Ohio?

All the cars can be replaced from BimmerWorld. One of them is already back from the body shop and the other two should be back next week. The Mazda on the other hand took the worst hits and it is done. Luckily they had an extra chassis at their shop so they have started putting parts on it. The car from the Glen is going to the scrapyard after that.

LOL, I will see what I can do to get in a P-car next year.

The Acura's and Mazdas are out there in numbers. When there are 5 Acuras and at least 6 Mazdas, they out number the BMWs. Mid Ohio is next which is a track that treats us well. I think you will see some front running Bimmers again.
