once a month my wife and i meet my parents half way between NC and GA so my mom can see her grand children lol..... so my mom gives me a box that she found in a closet that had a bunch of old car stuff that i collected when i was younger. so i came across a CD in the box that had written on it "Pics & Vids 2005" and im like oh **** whats this and my now wife said what the hell is that...... so i put it into the computer thinking it was "something else" hahaha... turns out it was a bunch of car videos that i saved when i was 16.... the link that i am about to post is to a video that was bad ***. i cant remember the HT members name other wise i would contact him. anyways, enjoy this video!

I've been 'outed'! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Ironically my screen name was on the back of the red car in the beginning part of the video when it shows me filling the tank.

I was 23 years old at the time and didn't make much money and got help from DAD and credit cards (top tip, never race on credit). Also, my parents had flown in to Portland to watch me race and in the practice session that weekend I wrote off the car. So yeah.. that explains the screaming. It took me 4 years to back on the track after that. That was the first video I ever made as well.

But the phoenix did rise again, I did build that red shell into another car eventually and I won the ITA championship 3 years in a row (2011-2013) and reset a few track records along the way.

Here's my 2011 "year in review" FWIW

 

I felt so bad when the crash happened...

 

Wow!!!!i havent seen this video in many years.

 

Pretty cool video OP.
