Jefferson 500 Vintage-2009-Group 5- Saturday

This is a view of my mid-pack position with my old Spridget #909. The Spridget is a somewhat tired little warhorse (60+ weekends of racing).
At this point, the engine makes mostly wheezing and farting noises so I have chosen to hide the push-rod cachophany with J.S. Bach.
I had an excellent time chasing Pete in the Alligator plus the red MGA and orange/red Spitfire.
The white Ginetta got me with a clean, well-deserved pass on the last turn of the last lap. Curses! Foiled again!
I had some carb problems that caused me to run super lean (it was fastest at half-throttle....at full throttle it went slower and just made more noise). Still, had a great time at this VRG event.

Video was shot with is solid-state "Flip" video camera (about $100).

Nice vid, classical music gave it a nice touch.
