Hey all-I have been upgrading my little Bugeye and racing like crazy! Here is my video of my first time at Scenley-What a blast and honor to race there!
 
And here is my camera looking to the rear.
 
I love it, great video. Looked like "warp speed" though.....I've never seen a Sprite travel that fast. Schenley's on my bucket list.
 
I see a good number of 2013 Schenley videos up on Youtube now. Here's some of mine (more later.....I'm at the NH Vintage right now). Anyway, the PVGP is A great event and good fun (but with unforgiving curbs and stone walls).Got a slow start in this first video (from P2). Note Mini crash on first laa (hub failure). I slowed down after the crash because I figured we'd be red flagged but they did a hot pull and kept racing. I had a good race with Chris Meyers' Twin Cam




This one get better at around 3:00 where Garth Knorr passes me. I never could get back past him.




 
We have invaded New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Vintage Racing Celebration. "We" is Joisey Boyz. L to r is Don Mei, Storm Field, Nial McCabe & Tom Leavy. Locals are concerned that our invasion may be worse than their Black Fly Season. :highly_amused:

Thanks, Dougie.....I hadn't seen that shot! -- The Shenely Park event has a pretty rough road surface and when I got home, I discovered that spot welds on the front frame rails had "popped" on both sides. I had to re-weld about 10" on each side. New Hampshire is also rough and the car now has a few stress cracks as a result (so more re-welding needed). It's always something!
 
Nial-Great videos too! Dougie, my Prather built Bugeye motor has plenty of horses and 8,500 rpm on tap if needed! I love the 3 wheel picture..I need one of those of my car sometime dang it!
