A couple of weekends ago, I took my Pantera race car to TWS for a shakedown. It'd been sitting for about 3-4 years doing nothing prior to getting it and I've been trying to resurrect it... Lots of things to fix...
But even after that, three times prior at the track, I had to be towed in.
My ego can only stand so much, ya' know....
So I seemed to have fixed the 'just stopping for no reason' problem. Ran great for one session and then blew a head gasket in the second session. Well, at least I hope that's what it is... haven't got the heads off yet, but #4 likes to shoot water across my garage when doing a compression test.

The Pantera from his perspective.

Oh, yeah... about the GT40. When the Pantera broke, I was mad and went home and got the GT40. When I arrived back at that track and started to unload it, people were asking... so your backup car to the Pantera is a GT40? Wow....
So he put another video on YouTube.

Yes, my lines suck, but I was having fun. I was hitting 170 at the end of the straight.
FWIW,
Kirby
