Olympus ME51S inside a Movo WS1 wind sock. It was tucked up inside the center bumper bracket and bumper.

I can't wait to get to work to get to the PC with the good speakers to watch again.

What was the deal with all of the slow cars? Was it some sort of beginner or novice school event? That might have just drove me a bit crazy... Some of the cars looked like they could have at least been going a little bit faster than they were.
Thanks Lance. I have learned a few things about the video editing program I've been using The first time I tried to do a video like this it took half a day. This time was maybe 2 hours. I'm getting better!

The cars were pretty slow. I had the incorrect preconceived notion that a school designed to license you to race wheel to wheel with other vintage race car owners would mostly be comprised of students with some decent track experience. In fact, over half of the people there probably had little to no experience and then many that did were driving cars that follow strict vintage rules requiring some pretty old technology and no modifications.

Still in my group was a highly prepped modern Mustang with carbon fiber hood, trunk and even doors, some big aero and it still was slow... Overall, I still had fun running on the track but wouldn't recommend that particular school to an experienced track driver who doesn't want to actually get a VARA racing license.
