local Pittsburgh Meet

It only takes one time of a kid saying "look daddy a street racer" that makes you hold your head in shame - I will not put myself through that again.

as some of you guys know i was up baierl last friday to get a couple minor things taken care of on the car. i raced sunday, and now i am getting a weird rattling/clanging from under the car.
it sounds like a loose spring, but i double checked all the suspension bolts for tightness and they're all kosher.
i made a short vid of the noise:

i'm kind of stumped on this one because it doesn't sound like the usual spring binding or blown strut noises i have heard before, and it seems to be coming from the passenger side roughly underneath the seat area. i thought it might be the exhaust rattling off something, but i got under the car last night and shook it around and it doesn't seem to be contacting anything in the under carriage.
it usually only happens at low speeds when the road is slightly bumpy. any help would be appreciated.
