About this clip:
We pick up the action midway in my final session. I pull off into the hot pits, hoping to get back on track behind my C8 buddies. Instead, I find that my doing so has frustrated the driver of "the little red car", who wanted to re-enter the track behind ME. I oblige him, and then keep him on screen for 6 laps.

The "little red car" is actually a crazy fast Veloster N, driven by fellow YouTuber "serge_vn". Of course it is fast in the twisties, but is also surprisingly fast on the straights.

About this session: Appearances by Sean in his Charger Daytona, Vinnie in his white Mustang, Jim in his red C8, Randy in his orange C8, and an anonymous driver in a blue Mustang. Watch to the end to see the off-roading. Driver was physically unharmed, and the Ford sustained some RF suspension re-arranging.

Please comment if you like or dislike the "wall" camera inset remaining in place the entire video, as opposed to popping in and out, as the Editor chooses.

About this session: Few appearances by others, so then I pull through the hot pit to get back on track closer to Vinnie.

About this session: This is [for me] the 5th and final session of the day. Thanks to operator error, I filmed nothing of session 4 from my forward-facing camera. Because of the lost footage of C8 shenanigans in that session, I again started the session with my friends Jim (red C8) and Randy (Orange C8) in hopes of re-creating the magic.

Be forewarned that this is 37 minutes long, and you may be entertained more succinctly by viewing some of the highlight excerpts of this and other sessions found in other, shorter videos.

For those sticking with this "War and Peace" version, here are some timestamps for you:

0:46 - 6:30 Hellcat/C8/C8 trio, take one (well, take TWO if you count lost session 4 footage)

6:40 - 8:00 Sean goes under me in turn 2, and promptly runs out of gas right in front of me. His engine catches again, and he makes it around the track to the gas station.

12:10 - 23:40 I turn some laps with fellow YouTuber "serge_vn" and his stupidly fast car (a little red Veloster N).

I concur with Steve about the laid back and fun approach to Tim's track days. We didn't make it to this one, but have attended several others. While I have ZERO desire to build and run a track day car it is great fun to watch everybody else. We've seen guys from as far away as Kansas drive a car out, run it at Willow, head out on the Friday Fling cruise to Malibu, and then hang out at the show. Everybody else on the west coast (or anywhere else for that matter) that has any desire to fun big Willow needs to plan early and get out there.

Steve has become quite skilled in driving that Hellcat

Well, you know about opinions, like ………holes, everyone has one.
