Pretty cool footage. Especially when you shoot through a pack of cars, leaving the Porsche (with a nice and loud sound btw) behind @ 0:55 or so 8)

Put a passenger seat in the car and gave rides to clients as well as the crew this past Tuesday. They thoroughly enjoyed it. I noticed during the last race the clutch pedal pressure was starting to feel a little different than normal. Pulled the gearbox out today...release bearing is toast, and some clutch damage. Not too bad though.

You already had a bit of practice in taking the gearbox off, how much time does it take 'now?

Good question! Have to say it really depends whether we are at the track or not. If it's a trackside repair, we can have up to 8 crew members working together to complete the job efficiently. Back at the shop without much pressure and only 2 people, it takes a bit longer. I'll have to time the reinstall!

We were cheering on Holland today while putting the car back together! Was hoping they would pull it off.

First time at this track. Didn't help that the infields we were using were in pretty "rough" shape. Also got hit on Saturday during qualifying by a car I was passing on the outside of Nascar Turn 1 at about 150mph..."he didn't see me." 2nd in points at the moment though! Looking forward to Lime Rock in a few weeks! Photos and Press Release:
