Notes: Windows Live Movie Maker was giving me a hard time, I wanted to slow-mo some of the passes and finishes but it kept messing things up. This is the best I could do without totally blowing the whole project.
Races were run with cars racing in ea/ lane. If there was a tie, they would ea/ race in ea/ lane again. Not the one race tie-breaker. I like to keep lanes as fair as possible. Plus we get more racing out of it!
Lastly, Sorry to Dadvball, Gspeed's Sol-Air flipped his car off the edge of track with his low front end, but no damage was inflicted...I think
The 5th race between FOTF and GspeedR was the closest I've ever seen. The replay isnt quite slow enough for the naked eye to pick out a winner, but when I slowed it down to .125x speed FOTF did indeed win.
I will be racing into the night hopefully getting the rest done. If not by tonight I can't really promise tomarrow either, for obvious reasons, but I'll try to get them up as soon as possible!

oop, my bad, coulda sworn it was "chikkinSHOT
Great video!!! Awesome racing too. Thats crazy how different that Viper performs on your track compared to mine! It's like a completely different car!
Well done, Mcjiggles9!
That final series was close! I always love seeing cars running door-to-door on Fat Track. There's a realism there that can't be duplicated on laned track. And congrats to FOTF for humbling my Sol Aire!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
GspeedR
Awesome video and racing! Thanks for taking the time to do it yesterday. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else.
Congrats to FOTF for the victory!
Don't worry about my car, it'll be fine. Just glad to see it being competetive.
If you look at when Dadvball's car comes off the track, he never touched the Sol-Aire.
The first time I saw it, I thought he clipped Gspeed's car.
Finished the drag race, havent started uploading.
Just starting to race for the third event, I'm going to change the brackets. so check for an update in my previous post.
one more note, all 66's are supposed to be 99's. my bad GspeedR. Next post should be results!
Here's the second installment, the drag race! I have to go to a family Christmas dinner so the third episode won't be up until late tonight or sometimes tomorrow.
Enjoy!
