Mark, what's that loud slap sound when Scotty is yelling to watch out??? Did he hit you on the helmet?

Bet the Cintron boyz filled thier shorts.

Great vid, shows the violence of racing.

Frigg'n CAVEMAN!! . Things happen very fast at these speeds. Visability is not great in the platinum.

We'll post some additional footage throught the year.
