Episode 3: The Grattan Games

Ryan got this episode wrapped up in a hurry.

The last weekend in June I got to run my first race event with my "new" car. We kinda went old school on this one; sleeping in the trailer, cooking on a little portable grill, running used tires, and generally be cheap skates. This is the type of event that, I think, really represents what club racing needs to be. A lot of the people I talked to were sleeping on site, quite a few in their tow rigs, campfires at night and a wonderful social atmosphere. The WMR hosted a BBQ Saturday night for all the drivers, crew, and workers. The weather was unbeatable and overall it was simply a fantastic and fun weekend.

In the last two installments we were working thru shakedown runs and test days, so this one follows along as we actually get to put it all to practice. This was the second GLC event and was held at Grattan Raceway withing the WMR Unrestricted Double. The Great Lakes Challenge is a great group and it is enjoyable to be the biggest of the open wheel contingent at the events we go to. I also enjoy Grattan immensely as it has so many nuances and little tricks. It's fun trying to find them all! Like the secret passages in Super Mario, although if you end up in a green tube you're doing something wrong.

I hope you enjoy the video and any feedback is always appreciated. Is it too long? It ended up a bit longer than expected. Any moments where you're thinking "get on with the next scene already"?
