Kenyon Race in car Camera

Eric C · 10/16/07, 8:59 PM

I installed an in car camera in my sons K- Car at this past weekends race at Anderson.

For those of you that have either watched or raced on the 1/4 mile high bank, you know that passing is at a premium, especially in the K-cars which are under powered from the other midgets.

The camera is in Tyler Cottongims car who starts outside pole and Jacob Thompson starts on the pole.

The first 20 laps are pretty much follow the leader and I could tell sittting in the stands that unless Jacob Thompson made a wrong move we were probably not going to get around him, but with a few laps to go you will see on the video another driver come into view (Jacob Wilson) who is the only K-Car driver I have seen run the outside at Anderson and make it work.

Great , great video !
That's exactly what it looks like from the drivers seat !
Tyler was the first Kenyon driver that I took notice to last year as driving a #28 car , my number for over 30 years.
Tyler was good a year ago , but has really come into his own this season ... perhaps the most improved Kenyon driver IMO.

Thats a great video Eric! Jake waited a bit too long to make the move on Tyler and Jacob Thompson. It was great to see JT in victory lane though, they have been right there and just seemed to have something bad happen every time. Tyler and the others will figure out the high line next year, we'll give up some of what we do different next year to help you all. :thumb:

Also was that Kim Stewart announcing? Whomever she was it was a real good job!
