"Builders Cup Light"
NEED A RACER WHO WILL BE ABLE TO POST THE VIDEO... HE WILL E-MAIL IT TO YOU...
tastelikedirt@yahoo.com
If it just needs to be uploaded to somewhere people can view it/post a link here ect... I'm pretty sure I can do that.
On a side note.
I have Windows media/picture/movie maked, but it has always crashed my computer when I tried to use. That problem has somehow corrected itself. I'm trying to teach myself how to put together races into a movie. I think I can do it. The biggest problem now is I need a helper, as I usually do the races myself. I have a remote somewhere around here. If I can find that and get it together I maybe able to do some kind of tutorial for you other guys to do it.
If you have a computer with Windows I believe it comes with Windows Movie Maker for free. Then if you just have a digital camera that does movies. I'm pretty sure anybody can do it.
So, here are the first round pairings for the Massachusetts Edition of the "Builders Cup Light".
#1 vs #15
#43 vs #9
#6 vs #12
#13 vs #3
#8 vs #2
#7 vs #10
#5 vs #14
#11 vs #4
As of right now the racing will start sometime late afternoon/early evening on Sat. I'll be working until about 2pm so by the time I get home, get everything set up, I'll probably have to feed the crews, and then we'll start.
Thanks for the compliments on the trophy guys! It was a work of love -building displays for these gems is right up there with my love of racing them! And let me say too, that I have no plans for this trophy as my lead in this competition is by no means a walk away. Half Fast, Enforcement and especially Stroller are just behind me in points -anything can happen.
My apology for the delay. I didn't get home until 4 to find unexpected company that stayed for dinner and a while later. I got a late start but did all the racing. No pics this time though due to time constraints. I will take and post a pic of the final bracket tomorrow though.
I'm glad I was able to be a host for this event. The racing was a blast and these are some awesome cars.
