My crazy track day caught on tape

So, I was cruising thru on a business trip, and my buddy (a couple of film students) wanted to tape my car at the track. It was a hellish week, yet, I couldn't pass up taking the time to go to the track. So, after an 8 oclock meeting, and NO FOOD in my system, took my V Red 8 to the track, and yielded some surprising results. A hungry tummy and a few minutes later, I had beated a Supra Turbo, STi, and Evo. The best part was that my buddy had his film crew come out (they are trying to get field experience) and had a jib and everything and caught a lof of it on tape....My 8 got a little banged up cause it was a heated race, but hey, life is to short to worry about a few knicks right? I think the other drivers probably didn't have as much experience, as their cars seemed much faster. As tight as it was, I managed to prevail in the end...anywho, enough of my yappin- hope you have quicktime, here's a link to the video...Enjoy!
