Great videos. Sounds like the car ran as usual.
That's cool that you had someone close to you that you could compare to.
I went racing Saturday too and the closest cars I had to compare to were 4 late model Mustangs and a C5 and a C6 corvette. The rest were little imports. Wish there were more PT cars in the Vegas area that would actually use their cars.
Bummer about the bearings, but it sounds like you've got it under control for now.
