This is a short in car video of the #2 Boos Performance Corvette WC car which I co-own and which is also owned and driven in this race by John Boos. The video is of the start of the race. It was a wild start. You'll see it go into the pea gravel and drive out. What you can't see is that it was forced off the track. http://www.boosperformance.com/video..._start_med.wmv

Oh Dear Lord. That is awesome. The entire video is amazing and the cars are so fast, however the start is what really got me.

Thanks for sharing.

It was fun trying to compete against factory teams and wealthy privateers. We parked our pickup truck and trailer next to their Nascar style haulers.

How fast will one of those cars go 1-100-0? It's gotta be fast. Simply amazing.

I'll have to try that next year. We are contemplating putting in a big cube pump gas motor for open track events that would be about 100 more rwhp and 140 more rwt.

That's how I felt even racing in SCCA T1 club racing.

My hats off to you guys for running with the big boys. My goal is to run in that series someday and to see guys like you out there keeps that dream alive. Thanks.

What is up with all the cars not starting and many cars having to drive around them?

With a standing start, a few car always stall on the launch.

I watched that twice, and will undoubtedly watch many more times!!! Thanks for sharing!!

My heart, adrenalin, everything is pumping! I want to do that!

Now where's the rest of the video? I hope you are not planning on stopping with this teaser?

Is there a full length version? Can I buy it?

Great job and again thanks! Quick way to digest all that turkey I ate!

I'll talk to our webmaster about posting the whole video. There are two more short sections on the Boos Performance website, racing section.

Its a good thing you had the lucky rubber chicken, or it may have been disastrous.

BoomerangJ · 11-24-2006, 06:06 AM

Z06'ers: Just finished watching the two additional videos on the Boos site. If you liked the first one you will like these as well. Great fun! Still leaves me with wanting more. I am going to have to go to one of these races.

Keep 'em coming!

Another short video posted of a restart.

That is just sad. I'm also suprised that the instant desicion by many drivers to go around the stalled starters didn't result in more sideswipe or even rear end collisions.
