Wow it really does LOL, tradition and nostalgia are important too I guess. Nice footage.
I made my first pass at Cecil back in April of 1990 in my '87 IROC Z28, my friend and I were visiting his girlfriend at University of Delaware (where he had also recently graduated from) and we hit up the track on a Friday night and cruised around downtown Newark (as we'd often done back then) afterwards.
