Sometimes The Salts Gods Just Smile
« on: December 29, 2010, 02:49:37 PM »
I thought I’d share a little piece I’ve completed.  I hope it warms you hearts during the long cold Winter.  In just a few short…rather, kinda short months, the white you see outside will be the kind that make Land Speed Racers drool!!

As you’ll see in the video, sometimes…on a very rare occasion…when the moon is full…and the Planets align…The Salt Gods just Smile!

Thanks to all who make my Summer time so much fun!

I hope you enjoy!

Fun video to watch and especially fun to hear.  Nice editing.  Thanks for the LSR fix.  My shaking has stopped for the moment.

Probably one of the best produced vids of this type I've seen.  You got the audio right, which is usually the tough part.  Well done.

Oh, and the runs were first class, too.  :cheers:

Wow, thanks for the feedback.  I'm a little humbled.

Land Speed Racing is actually a remarkable thing.  No Money...no, so to speak of, Fame...and no Treasure at the end of the rainbow!

All you get for you Blood, Sweat and Tears is a "little" slip of paper that said you went fast!!!
You are a crazy...Awesome...group of people.

 :cheers:  Great video!  Thanks for sharing.  There's 6 inches of snow on the ground here and the temp is about 11 degrees above zero and the chills weren't from what's outside, but from watching your video.  Thanks again!

Hey Woodstock, I'll see your 6" & raise you 3ft & that's not counting the 6ft piles. Sid.

No doubt - Steve and Jack ARE cool guys.  We've got to know Steve really well during the past few years, and through him - Jack, too.  Fun and hard working.  They took a well-known, respected car (Doll, Fox, & Christopherson) - and moved it along to higher and higher levels.  Best wishes for the coming years, too.

I'm with Papi and SSS.  Steve and Jack are ok in my book.  And the video was great.  I saw it before I noticed it posted here.  Real good stuff.

Along the same lines, I'm working to finish the photos of Speed Week and get 'em on my web server.  Another coupla daze and I otta have 'em done.  I'm editing as fast as I can.

I wonder what retirement is supposed to be like?  :)

Ohh...I meant to add this photo as one of 'em that'll be in the batch.
