That was really entertaining. Thanks for posting. It's really cool when videos are professionally done with different cameras, traqmate-type displays, etc.

In the end, he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. That's racing. And that's what keeps us coming back.

RC helicopter footage from that race ... Karen in the black topped red Miata:

Karen found the RC Copter a bit of a distraction when it was flying over the track ... drivers need to suck it up and get use to these things ... it's all about Media Exposure ;)
