    I remember that race very vividly from Box A-72. I don't think that any of us there that day stopped laughing as Jimmy hit the burner (more than once). I laughed again and smiled again as I watched the video.

    Thanks for posting it.

      That race has always stuck in my mind as one of my favorites. I really enjoyed hearing Jimmy talking about lighting the burner in the memorial video for him posted a few threads ago. What a sight to behold, migs in formation, burner on, rounding the pylons! Awesome!
