ONBOARD VIDEO

Here's an eventful lap around Thunderhill during the 2010 24 Hours of LeMons there from the cockpit of the Prickstine (formerly the Porcubimmer) BMW E30. The lap includes some good shots of the Star Trek-era Eyesore Racing Mazda Miata, particularly the capture of the Miata spitting flames on a downshift around the 0:40 mark.
