RUN, RABBIT, RUN!

The first weekend of May saw the first race weekend of the Cascade Sports Car Club season. And in it was one of the most epic battles I have ever seen in all my years of club racing. Probably not since the two Formula Mazdas that went toe-to-toe back at Buttonwillow (and ended up coming together in the last corner) has such a battle been fought. And those were two of the same type of car.
This... well... do you think a Mark 2 VW Rabbit could take on an E46 BMW? Not a chance, right? Except this is no ordinary Rabbit... this is a Super Production class Rabbit, up against a SPEC E46 BMW. These two went at it the whole race. Each lap when they came in to view around Turn 9 on the back stretch I had no idea who was going to be in front. When the race was over and they drove by on the cool-down lap, I bowed in reverence to two warriors.
But this week, I heard rumors... rumors of race video. And I found it. It's even better than I could have imagined: both drivers got together and created a synchronized split-screen from their respective in-car cameras. You get to see it all, from both perspectives.
I won't spoil who ends up winning... or what happens during the race. You should watch it yourself and find out...
