Sorry, things are going crazy at work right now and I've had no time to work on these. I've put up a couple videos at:

http://www.ricerocketracing.org/video/

!Warning! These are 1+GB files! Broadband only. If you want something smaller, you'll have to wait until I get around to editing them down.

Getting ready and doing the "final" check-up:


Camera mounted!:


Cooler installed:


Thinking hard about what the hell we're going to do...:


Getting in line for the grid:


Here's a photo from the V8olvo bumper cam with the Punisher hood bearing down on him!



In the mix:


A pic of Jay posing with the "Wheel of Misfortune":


Taking the checkered flag:

Here I am waving to the crowd on the cool down lap as I pass the starter's stand:


Here's good shot of the "battle damage":


The Fast & Furiouser! paint job:


Our cool-suit cooler... Most people showed up with 16 or 18 qt "mini-cooler". We showed up with a 46 qt cooler... It has holders for TWO 32oz Gatorade bottles too!:


Damn that paint job looks good!
