I was just wondering if anybody else has noticed when you watch a "you tube"
sprint car video, that along the bottom of the video screen scrolls about
13 videos from other tracks and places around the United States that other
people have shot?
Pretty neat. I just noticed that today when I was watching a sprint car video I shot. That is pretty neat and people have shot a lot of sprint car videos from
all around the US. Wing/non-wing, mini sprints, etc. :applaud:
Thanks,
Larry Otani

YouTube and others have more video than you can possibly watch. The number of uploads per minute is humongus. A goodly amount are old vhs and even 8 and 16mm movies coming out of storage.
BTW you can catch all my racing videos on YouTube by placing tjminc in search box.

Who was driving in this crash?
I once got to meet Troy Regier and his team owner. They won 3 Championships
on the West Coast a few years ago. Never will forget the owner saying to me "If you can make it to the shop, I will find something for you to do". "Maybe you can
you can check tire pressures". Personally I think that is one of the most important
jobs at the track, beside checking fuel. He gave me a team shirt and a seat in his section of the stands. They used blankets to mark off sections in the stands just like at all circle tracks. Met him through a girl friend of my buddy whose sister was married to the owner. Funny, riding horses was the link to meeting this team owner and driver.

Everytime I click to watch one of the videos posted here it always comes up with "sorry video no longer available."
Anyone know how to correct that problem?

:applaud:Thanks for the videos. I really have no concept of what it would be like
driving, pitting or watching a race with some of these old open wheel cars.
Even though I saw some Indy Races with AJ Foyt in his last front engine roadster,
on TV, I don't think it does any justice to the men and women who built the cars in their shops, raced them at that favorite local tracks and all the aumbieance
that surrounded the 'circa'.
What I do remember is the beer, the fights, the loud cheers from the stands and the excitement one got seeing a big crash. I was only 5.
