Was able to watch the Limerock qualifying video and you were flying!! Tried to watch the other two and they were blocked as "private."

Really enjoyed watching the Limerock video. I went to Skip Barber Racing school there in summer 2000. It was a great three days, but the highlight was the second afternoon when it was a rare open track testing afternoon and Paul Newman's rig pulled in next to mine. He was driving a Nissan GTP? He was really fast and was pretty friendly with all who spoke to him.

Last two private.

Are you in a different class that the other drivers in the first one? They look like they are having a cool down lap as you scream past.

Love the elevation changes on that track.

That is really impressive Ron. It looks like any off track excursion would total your car there. Definitely not a good track for me!

There is not one safe corner at lime rock (maybe big bend) but it's fast as hell, and an amazing track to drive. Love the place.

Ron -

Is that your GT3 Cup car? - looks fantastic! Do you have any plans to come to PORSCHE RENNSPORT REUNION V, September 25-27, 2015 this fall at Laguna Seca? If so, I'll see you there.

I've seen enough of your videos of Watkins Glen, that I'm beginning to learn the track! They look great! Wish I could drive it someday.

On fire, Ron!! Cup Car with a 6 speed manual!!!! Footage almost identical to the one of Leh Keen at the Glen, one of my favorite in-car videos. Destroying the competition, most of whom I would assume have sequential transmissions.

Yes to the sequential in the newer cup cars.My year 2005 was the last for an H pattern . They are now increasing in value too.Also cheaper to fix!
Rennsport at Laguna is just to far .It will be the 1st one I have missed.I have won my class at all the other Rennsport events

Ron, the third link is the same as the second. Third link takes you to Watkin's Glen 2015. Enjoyed the first two.
