I love watching raw race footage like that, especially spec series. Makes me want to get into it...almost.
Yeah between the mud and the setting sun in my eyes, I was struggling to find the edge of the track at track out and my braking points when going into the sun.

I would say that being at the pointy end of the field means a larger chance of ending up in a wall as happened on lap 1, but as long as you take the mentality that no pass is worth losing a car over and avoid contact at all costs, you can keep your car clean and enjoy many years of spec series racing. I finished 8th and 9th out of 23 cars.
