I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. :) :racing:

PS - Todd, working with Movie Maker is a LOT better than Pinnacle Studio 8. The clarity improvement is huge!

Ben, why does it matter if somone saves-as or plays it directly?

Because with all of these videos I've been making, I'm going to go over my bandwidth limit if they play any of the videos more than once.

I wonder why that one downloaded completely and I was able to play it as compared to the others that wouldn't download? Did you save it somewhere else?
BTW, nice vid! Now where's my car?

Nope, I saved in the exact same folder as the others, in the exact same format.

To get your car in, I need video footage of it. Something I don't have. I have to give a hand to Fred because at Ennis I gave him my video camera and told him to "Film some stuff.". Everything you see from the starting line, Fred shot. Hopefully at FFW/Houston next year you'll be running, along with Fred/Cristina, and we can recruit somebody else to video everything. :) Darva? SusieQ? Frank? :D

No kidding Ben, that vid looks a lot better as far as quality is concerned.

Good job!!! BTW.. I have a ton of old vids from previous FFW's if you're interested in playing with your editing skills...

Todd,

I'd definitely like to get some of the footage you have from previous FFW's. Especially if there's any of Otis drunk in 'em. :)


Billy,

I don't have any plans, as of right now, to go to HMP before COTT. As my plans sit right now I have to fly out of town on business this Sunday and won't be back until the day before COTT. So I'll be under the gun to get everything packed and loaded up just to get down to HRP.

Don't have any of Otis riding the bike, but I'm pretty sure I have him in rare(maybe not so rare) form wearing boots and shorts hangin by the pool...

Try the link again. I just moved the video from my personal server to the same server that Pomoforacing.com is hosted on.


Todd,

That'll do! :)

Great Job Ben! I like it a lot....Billy just for the record, what is the record you are trying to break with the stock longblock?

I was trying to hit a 6.30-6.40 pass with good mph..and that would put me in the high 9;s..But with what I have to work with and trying to spool is takin so long.. My 6.50 e.t. so far would have to be a record e.t. on what i'm doin..That should put me at 10.0-10.10 range right now..The only way i know how to spool faster is to rig a nitrous only nozzle in my piping with a #30 jet or so to see if that would help my spool faster..The reason I haven't went that route is because of controversy of people saying thats cheating..And all i want to is have a button for spooling and when i let go of trans brake....No more nitrous..it shuts off...But ohh well..If I cant break in the high nine range...The record for the fastest Stockblock/e7 heads will have to rest at 6.50's....10.0s-10.10 range...Thanks...MUSTANG BILLY
