SL65 at Watkins Glenn

Had a visit to Watkins Glenn before the race this weekend and had an opportunity to shoot some video while running a few laps...

Admire your effort but I got a headache after watching for 2 minutes.
Going backwards does it to me......

Sorry, I was trying to get as many view points as possible. This was my first video attempt and the rear seemed to give a better feel for speed along with sound. Hopefully when we get to the drag strips this fall we'll get the bugs worked out. I understand your comment about the headache, while I can watch a backwards video I can't ride in a car backwards with getting nauseous

Thanks for sharing the ride...

Our version of a muffler delete....opened the top side of the muffler and welded the holes shut......making it a straight pipe through the muffler. Appears stock for all state inspections and keeps the AMG exhaust tips in place.
