My newest Race Video:
American Pride National
I want to thank all my sponsors. Each of them contributed significantly to this one race win in a very difficult season.

Chris,
That was sweet!!! Looks like the little yellow Lotus was giving you fits for a while, but you just blew him away on that last straight. Are you running an 1800 engine? Yours sounds just perfect. Can't wait to get mine from Jake. It's not a racing engine, but should be good for me and the Ghia on the street.

That thing has some real pull. It seems to outrun every other car.
How many laps or minutes do the races last?

National Races are 45 miles long. At Lime Rock that's 30 laps in less than 32 minutes.

There were 4 cars ahead of me at the finish line, 2 GTLites Nissans and 2 E Prod Caterhams. The second place F Prod car was 32 seconds behind me. 34 cars started the race, including 9 FP cars. I lapped cars up to 13th place. (The overall winner lapped up to 9th.)
The black and white 914-6 (EP) was a good deal faster than me and might have taken the overall victory if not for being slammed into by a backmarker on lap 10, which ended his day. The video shows him reentering the track after the contact, but the car was too damaged to continue.
