That in mind, Team Orange did their demos on both days, and the first morning demo on Saturday maybe had 15 or 20 people (I was one) watching because it was outside of the speedway in a parking lot. Tony Shultz was the only other driver and this was years before he got sponsored and was running in Formula D...back when his car was black on Z32 wheels.

I filmed all of this stuff on my dad's camcorder, and I've got the tapes floating around somewhere.

Screenshot from said video...proof of the low quality/old feel, haha.

very cool. Team Orange was rad.
