If you're having trouble playing it, just right click and 'Save Target As' to your computer.

Looks like a damn smooth track. I expected a little bit more in the way of elevation changes, but it still looks fun. Looks like 3 minute + lap times. :)

Thanks for getting it posted Chris!!!

Folks, just a few notes on the video. :D


1. There are cones in weird places. The track was being used on the west side only for certifications that day. We used the whole track to video, but didn't move the cones out of the way.

2. Trick photography. We were driving at slow "touring" speeds in a stock Subaru Outback and we were doing 6 minute laps. I did a 2X speed on the video to make it look more realistic.;)

3. The cones marking the corners will be replaced with 4,3,2,1 shutdown markers within a week or two.

4. The grass is starting to grow and I expect a large part of the course to be green by the time we get there next month.

5. Sorry for the bouncing swaying video. I'm a racer not a professional videographer dangit!!! :D

I was going to mention something about running through that cone wall too.... I figured it was some stunt driving or something :D

Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video!

I look forward to running with you on 20-21 May.

Great video. Thanks for putting it together and posting it here.

Dave, did you plan to be at MMP for the PCA event this Sunday? It would be great to catch up with you in person.

Here's a link to a site where I found a couple of videos of MMS hot laps: http://www.rennportal.com/movies/SWC/2006/Miller.html

See you in SLC.

Thanks for pointing us to that Del. No offense but its alot better that the Subaru at 2x =)

Now it has me kicking myself in the @$$ for not registering earlier for this weekend (cash issues). But I think I just made an investment that will allow me to race all next season worry free =)

Here's a link to the World Challenge forum where the drivers of the GT cars hangout on-line. They have some cool things to say about the track.

Dave,

I have some video from MMP but not sure how to post so that people can play. I'll send a message to Chris to see if he can help.
