Video: The Protege Laps at NHMS and Passes Several Cars

Posted in Motorsports Events by Clint on September 24th, 2008

Here’s a clip of a few of my better laps from this past Monday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. I manage to get by a supercharged Mustang Cobra, an E36 M3, a Spec Miata, and a Jaguar E-type. This was probably the best the Protege has done at NHMS, and these are some very solid laps. You can see, for example, that some of the drivers I get by take an ineffective line through the complex of turns off the main straight. This allows me to make up a lot of ground.

Also, we’ve added a little music to our video for the first time. Normally that isn’t our thing at the Pansy Patrol, but when you cut a quick video and it happens to be exactly as long as the song from the Porsche scene in SuperTroopers…well, how can we resist?

  1. Even despite it’s inability to start under it’s own power and the bearing..

  2. As far as I’m concerned, those things just made it faster. And you forgot the blown strut and the corded tire. :)

  3. Is there a picture of the Protege on this site? I think if people saw it they would appreciate this video even more.

  4. Sure. Click here for one.

    We’ve also got track video of the Protege shot from Henry’s Miata and Noah’s Miata.

  5. Haha, the “Just Wear It” sticker is still visible in that picture.

Have your say
