its only a few minutes long, shows 3 races :)

Nice vid - where abouts is that airfield? Seems like it gets a fair bit of use looking at those doughnut marks on the tarmac :D

Love the bit at the end :pmsl:

i think it was paul, if hes the guy with the "big cya" integra :)
the grinding noise was the front undertray which came detached on my first run. it wasnt causing any problems (and i didnt have any bolts to fix it) so i just left it dragging.

as regards alex and his car. there is no straight line difference in our cars whatsoever. who ever gets away with the best launch will maintain the lead right to the end. he's mighty pissed that his
