Cool, that made me go dig through some of my older vids. This isn't 10 years, but it was 7 years ago at TMS.

Attached pic from MSR-H and was pretty much the event I figured I'd go give NASA a full time shot.

Would you check out the yacht-style LEAN on Patterson's AI heap??? Sheesh!!!

Always liked your Datsun, Jeff. Very clean, period-style car.

Nifty driving there, Jeff.

Did-ja ever notice how much your shifter moves around?
It appears to almost shift itself ...

I also found the foot cam you posted a long time ago ... sounds like the same car. In the same shot I see a halon nozzle, driving shoes and hairy legs.

10 years ago I had just gotten my drivers license and my first truck for my junior year of high school! :lol: (yeah, I know I am probably the youngest on here other than Jason...)

I was beating all the little Mazda trucks and Ford Rangers in my S-10...

Glad your hair moved from between your eyebrows to your head Glenn.

Ten years ago Mitch was complaining about rules.

Ten years ago I had just moved to the SF Bay area and attending DE sessions in a '93 vette.

Mitch... I was looking for the video of our first event at MSRC with NASA, but I couldn't find it. It was darn near a CMC race. :shock:



Since I couldn't find it, I thought I would share an old dirttrack video I have from 2005. It has one of my funnest wins and then the rest of the video is of mishaps.

11 years ago I was autocrossing my SuperCoupe in Lubbock.
10 years ago I had just bought my 96 Ram Air T/A (may she rest in peace) and did my own version of the TX mile at the airforce base out there.
I'll have to find the old videos of that.

I think this picture was from the first weekend I did a DE with Mitch, Glenn, and a few others at MSRC.

I don't remember who took this video. I wonder if it was Chris or Nick. Kendra never came to a DE event with us.

Funny to listen to the cars... They sounded meaner than our race cars and funny how early we often lifted in turn 1.

I think I took that video. Should still have the original... and maybe some in-car from that weekend.

Ten years ago, I had just gotten married, was trying to finish my last two semesters of college and had an old '89 4cyl at my dad's shop "waiting to become a race car"...

Fast forward to today... the car is still at my dad's shop, but now can be raced (if I had the time...), work has gotten in the way of the car habit big time lately.

Hopefully I can hit a few events next year...

10 years ago, I worked my first Champ car race in Houston as a corner worker... I "dreamed" about being a race car driver...

Thanks to Todd and Adam for convincing me to "look into" NASA...

Next dream: Crew chief for my son at the National Championships...
