Spitfire Very Cool Spitfire racing

[prb51]

This gent drives really well (to my untrained eye) in the wet and his car seems to be on rails, note the total lack of lean.

I'd be crapping my pants with all that cool vintage iron all around me.

He certainly doesn't spare the revs, does he?

 

[kodanja]

he sure can drive!!!

The Red Heally is set up nicely too and driven very well. That little TR took 1 Heally, 3 Lotus's, 2 marcos's, a spriget and the Mustang.
As the track dries he get's caught by the HP.
He came in 4th overall. I can't make out the lead car in front of the red Heally.

Love the way he late brakes into the curves to get his nose in front!

Didn't spot the Spit, but I think a related clip shows a Lotus as the leader..

Great video, I thought he was bumped a little in the first half of the race - also, did he have to take a penalty route or something late in the race?

I think he just missed the turn and took the detour

Yea, he missed a corner and took the 'off ramp'. He seems to drive better when 'in traffic'.

Looked like he dropped a wheel to me.

Here is a video of Eric Prill in a Super 7 chasing the Spitfire of Steve Sargis (multiple SCCA Runoffs winner)

I believe the car in question is owned by Jari Tabell of Finland.

Neat!
I hadn't seen those new videos but I recognized the Spitfire.
I signed his guestbook like 5 years ago and I've checked in from time-to-time.
