Eldora with the sprint cars did not produce the same kind of interesting racing that the trucks did on the dirt road courses. I have to learn how to get better on the starts, manage the wing adjustments as the track changes, and be able to manage a pass. I was keeping up with P4 until I tagged the i...

I have some new video editing software and this video is the guinea pig. I trimmed over 10 minutes out of this from the raw clips. I have not tried any of the extra effects yet.
