Video - Hot Lap of Homestead infield in E55 at AMG Challenge

Sorry that it took so long to add this - I finally figured how to RIP the DVD.

This is a video of my hot lap of one of the Homestead infield configurations at the AMG Graduate Challenge. (17MB file - might want to right click and save as)

My right seater is multiple Aussie kart and midget champion and very cool dude, Adam Clarke.

Full data aquisition is encoded on the video - gives you a really good sense of what you are doing right or wrong.

AMG gives this vide to each attendee on completion of the event - it can be a really cool deal (if you have an encouraging instructor and an open track) ir it can be very frustrating (if you have a nervous right seater holding you back or if you run up on slower traffic)

I've had both!

It does kinda look like that, but then the set of flags in the reflections in the glass plus the 2-story building made me think it was Don King's little complex off of I-95 by pompano.
