Great documentary featuring GM Racing Cobalt

Buddy of mine Jason Whitfield was recently featured on the Documentary Channel's show called, "Speed Dreams." The 20 min show can be found online and in my opinion is a must watch. The show features Jason's candy apple red pro Cobalt, as well a Formula 1 and Porsche Motorsport teams. So if you have some time, be sure to check out this video:

Yeah, I've been pretty quiet as of late...

Also, I'll be in your area soon for some races at OSW and PBIR.

Yes, that's him. He was also on Hot Compact and Import about 2 years ago with the same red Cobalt.

He did beat him at the very end. As for the Mobil 1 commercial, it was kind of like that considering that Jason and those teams are sponsored by Mobil 1 so it was a larger portion of the documentary. However, it shows the engineering and technology that goes into making sure the engines stay alive due to the oil.

You may be thinking of Brian Ballard. He's been consistent in the low 9s and has even gone high 8s.
