!! No wonder I couldn't find it on Google!

The guy who owns it is someone that I met last year at this event and spent time with. We were next to him and his friends in the paddock and shared a couple of after track dinners. Then at Mid-Ohio in April last year, we all were sharing paddock space again, plus went karting on the day we got snowed out. So, I felt especially bad about the damage to his car. But, as they say, that's racing. In any case, he was only doing the comp school, then instructing for the rest of the weekend. He didn't run on Sautrday 'cause of the weather, though he had repaired his car Friday night after our comp school.

That video is actually from the next day. On Friday, the day of my competition school, we had beautiful weather.

You can see from that video what I had to deal with on Saturday, although I wasn't in that particular race. My race went off about 40 minutes later. And though my friend didn't race his "Stohr", there were a number of others in open cockpit cars.
