Personally I think the video is a bit simpler. You only have to upload it once instead of tons of pictures. Just get someone to pull the race trigger and follow the race action with a camera. Put them on the computer and I just use Windows Live Movie Maker, which should be a default on all windows. Add some sweet music and that's about all!
I think it adds a lot more to the excitement as well

So when you do the video, the editing is done in the camera? One race at a time and them you put them together in movie maker?

Well I take an individual clip of each race. Dump them all in the video editer, do some touch up snd that's about it

The darker cars just disapear into the track on video. Orange track showcases the cars much better....maybe I need to build another track?

Cars arrived at HalfFastRaceway today.
I hope to be able to race them tomorrow.

Thanks for the update Carl, how did the box survive shipping? I'm looking forward to more results...more importantly if my cars preform on orange track...
