What it looks like out there




LRP NARRC Runoffs 2 Oct 2010 (ITR-ITS-ITB) from Glenn Lawton on Vimeo.

I just found the in-car video above, shot by Glenn Lawton, a longtime friend and competitor. It's pretty cool, and it turns out I'm prominently featured; I start just ahead of Glenn (the red-and-white Honda S2000, number 05) and, for the most part, stay there until I spin off into the drink on lap 23 (oops!).

The race in question was run at Connecticut's Lime Rock Park, my favorite track, and was a championship event - the North Atlantic Road Racing Championships Runoffs. Late in the race, you'll see me grappling for several laps for the lead with a black BMW (number 21). That's when I spin out following two days of heavy rains, which explains to still photo. Bummer.

That's pretty cool, Steve! I've got to admit, I love the still photo, even if it is a wipeout.

No need to apologize - I love that pic!

The spin out looks super dramatic!

I love the cover on Purgatory Chasm, btw.
