I volunteered Larry at PT.com and perhaps Scott to sell them through the forum store if it would help lower distribution costs. Does Lateral-G have an online store? I don't see a link to one.

i personally was waiting for the "haha just kidding" lol

I was waiting for the same "ha ha", and thats for a 2 min. video, thats shorter than the commercial segment of your favorite tv show.
I,ll pay the $40.00 just because I was there.

I'd really like to see a 30 -60 min video for a little more.

I hope it's more than a few minutes, I thought it was more like 30 minutes or more. He said they got lots of footage.

I was at the start line in Penny, the starter told me I'd get extra points" if I did a "burnout" when leaving the pits. The video camera was right there, so I did smoke 'em a bit leaving the line, but I didn't really know how much throttle to give it so it was kinda weak. Don't tell Steve... :_paranoid

When we were sitting in the meeting in the tent, he specifically said a 2 min. HD DVD for $150. When I talked with him after the meeting, he said they normally do the same 2 min. DVD for corporation advertising for $2,000.!

If you figure 24 cars, thats about 5 -6 sec. per car if they are all in it, that may be all the "tape" there is on the Fairlane, but I would think you guys and gals would want a little more of your cars.

If the sponsors and the tv crew promote this correctly they could sell tons of these, and make some $$.

I know Lat-g and PT will push them, put an add in Hot Rod and Camaro Performers etc.

The 40 -50 of us that were there should not have to cover there entire risk.
I'm not trying to bash them, because I want a DVD really bad, but not $40. for 2 min. bad
I look forward to seeing what we can get our hands on.

now that you mention it i do recall he saying it would be a short 2min film...
DAMN! 2k for 2min:rolleyes:
they must be in cahoots with exxon mobile:lol:

2 minutes? not good. They have to have more than that, they were there taping the whole day!

I take it Hot Rod TV isn't making an episode of the event?

David Pozzi 11-18-2008 07:06 PM

This poll has now ended. I'll email the results to the video company.
Thanks.
David

I just got a reply from Chad of Carjunkietv. It's looking good for them to make a longer video of the event for us! They do short clips for vendors, but would make a longer one for us.

We should find out a final yes or no by the end of the week. :thumbsup:

Thanks to all who participated in the poll.
David

Thanks for all of the footwork David, I look forward to buying a video.
