Re: CMP video

David,
Great videos - thanks! I did see my car as you zipped by, and am impressed with your driving. There were a couple of corners that I just could not come close to getting right, but your videos show much better lines. It was a terrific day for a 'spirited' drive.

Yeah, you guys were awfully nice to slow down and let me pass.
I figured having the camera and running from the rear was my best chance at getting the most cars in the video.
after the first break, I actually started from the very rear
to capture those who started the first session behind me.
Never did catch Hap and The Wild Boys up front.

Looks like you had a blast!

But how did they let you on the track without a helmet? :eeek:

Because it is a "paced" track session, as you can see it doesn't take much to find a gap and have fun. I was the pace car in my 67 MGB GT, it was my job to take the car behind me at a pace deemed fun, spirited, Bob and the other tow MGBs stayed with me, so I kept a pretty good pace, I instructed a dn won races at CMP, they did fine, we did check up a bit going down the straights, but attacxked the corners. I pretty good friends with the owner and operators of CMP, so let us come paly one a year. It happen on a PDX day and we take a few session during lunch hour. WE just tell people use good common sense, and don't get your self in trouble, truth being most people behave a little better than we expect them, if this was a bunch of 20-somethings with Hondas it probably would work out this well.

Wasn't trying to be a trouble-maker. I'm just surprised that, with such a litigious world, the track owners didn't require it. Guess I'm just used to everyone looking after me... :wink:
 
Re: CMP video

Mikey, I understand, it took a little doing to get them to do it, I worried them for a couple of years before they went for it. They fiquire us old British car farts ain't get in too much trouble :smile:
 
CMP sky video!

This guy was incredible! We watched him do all kind of stuff at CMP last Saturday.
He saw the CMP Youtubes and wondered if I had film of the plane.
Sadly I did not. All I did was gawk in awe.
Enjoy the eye in the sky look at CMP.
