Goin' wide out of turn 1. Missed the full 360 he did a couple laps earlier.

Yeah, but the guy was like 85 and 280lbs!

Bell takes a swipe at proving he's Derek's brother.
• Steve off between 1 & 2 (BIC session, buddy-cam)  (6mb mpeg)
The old stock RF tire decides to give out. At least they thought it was funny.

The old stock RF tire decides to give out, as I saw it.

BIC Racing @ Lake Geneva Oval 8/13/2004

• Into the tire wall  (7mb mpeg)
A guy radically changes tire pressures after practice, car handles totally different! 1st heat, 1st lap, first turn.
• Catching one car...  (6mb mpeg)
Making up time from a half lap down.
• and another...  (3mb mpeg)
This is lookin easy.

But I turn into him and keep the hammer down. You wanna piece a me???
• Dash for the transfer spot  (10mb mpeg)
I pass this guy just as a yellow is coming out, they place me behind him. 1 lap to try to get it back, but he out-torques me and I come up just short.

Road America - 7/10/2004 (RX-7)

• Finally get past the Miata  (15mb mpeg)
After 8 laps, I finally capitalize on his fear of "The Kink". Plus a little waggle and catch in Canada Corner.
• Into the wall  (9mb mpeg)
The decision to leave old tires on the rear takes it's toll, I simply slide off the track.

Road America - 8/17-18/2003 (RX-7)

• Lock-up in Turn 3  (3mb mpeg)
Going into turn 3, the inside rear brake locks up and sends me farming.
• Tight quarters in Canada Corner  (2mb mpeg)
Some would call it a bonzai move, but I zone for a second and forget to there's a corner coming up.
• Spin and catch in Turn 5  (2mb mpeg)
Pinch it a bit too tight and get loose in the tightest corner on the track.

Mid Ohio - 7/4-6/2003 (RX-7)

• Clips from the race  (25mb mp4)
Some passes, some spins. Racing with leaky brakes.

First W2W Race - Blackhawk Farms - 4/28/2002 (RX-7)

• The Pass  (7mb mpeg)
Pass, get passed, and take the pass back. Notice the 510 trying to push me over after he misses the shift.
• The Squeeze  (1mb mpeg)
The 510 cuts down into the 325 trying the indside pass.
• The Finish  (4mb mpeg)
The BMW is spooked from the earlier squeeze and backs out, causing me to back out and loose momentum, which proves fatal in the end.
