Speaking of Vids,what would be the posibility of doing a web cam in your truck while running at the track? I would put up a dollar or two if it could be done well.

like actual live or just tape? tape wouldn't be too hard but it would be prety boring. from in the truck there isn't much going on. maybe a view of the dash would be kinda cool.

live wouldn't be that hard either but would require cell hook up on the laptop. that might be neat but like i said from in the truck there isn't much to see.

vid should be cool. first race with with that serious draged out import. cage, plastic windows, slicks and skinnys, chute, all that stuff. i riped him off the line and beat him to the end too.

I'm not going to speculate... All I know is Jim has set the bar VERY VERY high! I think I can aim all day long and never hit the target.. But I can gaurantee I will kill a motor or two trying!

Unfortunately my weight, will make his time, out of my reach...

But I do have a few tricks up my sleeve...
And I dam sure aint affraid to push er to da limit!

Personally tape, live, from the stands whatever we can get our eyes on! Its all good stuff!

Too bad you cant plant a cam in the other guys car so we can see his eyes pop out of his head as you blow by..
