Notable time markers 
At minute 0:30, Dennis Uebersetszig and I bump to his detriment as spin and white smoke.
At minute 4:05, Chris "AP" Miranda goes in deep and acquires an ABS issue resulting in brake lock-up, lots of white smoke, and a very damaging sudden stop into the tire wall.
At 6:00, you can see APs damaged car and the famous Cal Club rescue team coming in to help. I then cut out several double yellow flag laps following the pace car, I then cut back in when the green comes back out. I drive to a first place finish for the first ever Spec Corvette race at The Circuit.

Here is my first race of the first ever race day on the new track known as The Circuit at Buttonwillow. 14 Spec Corvettes got their own green flag start. The action started early, P1 was Chris Miranda, I am P2, P3 is Dennis Uebersetzig, P4 is Greg Nester. Dennis gets a good run up the middle on between Chris and I. I have to run on the outside of Turn One. At Turn Two it gets very tight and I bump Dennis and he goes spinning off the track. A few laps later, Chris has a massive lock up going into Turn One a few laps later and his car is toast up against the tire wall. We get a few pace car laps. On the restart, I have the lead and run it to the finish in first.

This is recorded using a Garmin Catalyst from inside one of my Spec Corvettes running the series mandated 200 treadwear Vitour tires on Trackspec wheels.
