Okay, so who’s the guy with the camera. When was the drive? Who’s in the Vette?

Looks like fun.

And did you really say, “It’s time to rock and roll”.

All questions shall be answered.

Craig. He works at Western Reserve PBS.
August. We used the footage in math nMotion.
Duilio is driving the Vette.
It was fun.
I most certainly did not say “it’s time to rock and roll”.

Who’s the guy taping the camera onto the bumper in the beginning of the video?

That’s Craig. He strapped the camera to the front of his Subaru. In another clip, the camera is on the back bumper of the MINI while he chases me around the track.

Craig is the rock and roll culprit at 0.39 seconds.

Yes, that’d be Craig. He’s a funny guy.

We were rocking and rolling. On that back straight we’d do around 105. That’s around 170 kph to you funny metric people.

Are you sure that’s not my drive into the arb in the morning?

As long as it isn’t snowing. Or raining. Or too sunny out. :D

So you’re saying that a Subaru was able to keep up with you?

The funny thing was that the MINI was the fast car through the tight turns (way faster than the Vette), but both the Suby and the Vette were faster on the straights. If I’d been in front of the Vette going through the turns, I don’t think it’d have been able to catch up.
