[Click HERE for lapping video from 2008!](http://www.vimeo.com/4528724) I put up the unedited lapping video while I work on the rest of the Watkins Glen footage from '08. While you can’t really get a perception of speed from the video, it does show you just how much time we get; 15+ minutes on track cut down for the web. We were able to move quite fast out there :tup: This is the same thing we’re doing this summer! ---
