Since we are still not in true winter mode, I figure it's safe to  
post something off-topic.

I made another trip to a race track with my MINI.  This time, it was  
New Hampshire International Speedway, which has a road course that  
uses portions of the Nascar oval track.  If you've got quicktime 7  
installed, there is some in-car video from my car located here:

This even was run by the SCDA (Sports Car Drivers of America).  I  
usually go to the track with the BMW club.  The SCDA drew a different  
crowd and there was quite the assortment of cars including a few  
Ferraris, a Maserati, a few race prepared Porsche 911s, a couple of  
the Turner Motorsports race prepared BMW 330s, and who knows what I'm  
forgetting.

In my vid, the blue car I pass is an old Nissan Z-car that was having  
issues with cold tires early in the morning, the car I continue to  
close on for the first two laps is a BMW M3, the red Volvo that  
passes me is a S60R (300+ hp all wheel drive).  In the segment with  
the instructor in the car, I start out passing a Porsche 944, and  
then continue to chase a Miata that I had been closing on slowly all  
session, but lost ground to when the 944 slowed me down.
