Here is in-car from Simon Says and Mopar 4 Life as we swapped positions on the last lap of the 6 hour race at Watkins Glen last Friday. WGI is an absolute blast to drive.

That's awesome. .7s after 6 hours.

Watkins Glen scares the shit out of me though, lots and lots of armco a few feet off the track.

Awesome video, great finish! That should be an ad for Chump car.

If you drive with some sense it will never cross your mind. The only place I even noticed was at track out in the left hander at the top of the 'boot'.

I only got about 3 hot laps on Saturday in the Silver Bullets 500SX (overheating, misfires, leaking W/P, leaking P/S, etc) so here's a few of those with a best of 2:22.

Congrats to Rob and Team Simon. You guys were fast and consistent, but mostly on the track the whole time!

Clearly it was a team effort to make that happen, but who was driving Simon on that last lap?

What VK said, it is a very comfortable track to drive, everything is on camber. you can really push it, lots of good run off areas. I said it last year "Sorry VIR, you are now second"

No doubt a team effort. I would not have been in a position to race for the win if Mike and Dustin had not driven excellent stints before I got in the car. Also need to thank the guys from Maximum Oversteer for support in the pits.

Unfortunately, Max (Jason's red integer) had a hard impact with an E30 that lost control in front of him (Jason was driving). The impact was hard enough that it bent the steering wheel on impact. Luckily Jason is fine. Unfortunately, Max wasn't. RIP Max....you were a load of fun to drive!

Here's the video where I lost it in the Bus Stop. Luckily, it ended well!

Rob, there was actually another angle of that move.

(Jason's red integer)!

I never was any good with integers either!
