TRL-Promo Video!

Thought this maybe deserved its own thread, so it doesn't get lost in my work thread.

A customer and good friend of mine is the editor for DRIVE(with Matt Farah) Last summer he came to me, and thought it would be cool to shoot a little promotional video for my new shop! This video was shot a while back(can't remember the exact date anymore), at an 86 Cup event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. It's just a little something describing how I got started, what I like doing, and some of my future plans.

From the video description
*Disclaimer*
"This video was shot a while back, and I had been up since 4:30am(after a 6 hour drive down to BW the day before, no shave, no shower!) and was EXTREMELY nervous about shooting this. Just behind the camera was a group of many 86 Cup participants, customers, and fellow shop owners, all of whom I respect greatly, and it was very tough to sit in front of a camera and talk about myself."


Also a special shoutout to our very own @Pwolf who stepped in as assistant camera and lighting man, as well as providing the awesome photography!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video! We have some plans to make a couple more, highlighting safety inspections and track prep, as well as some proper general maintenance and upgrades on various cars.

Damn, sorry, I just assumed that you sold it or wanted to start fresh on the orange car. Hope you or whoever was driving walked away from it unharmed.

Thanks!

Well, not unharmed, but I recovered okay. Foot and ankle took a beating, I got knocked out for a second as well. Ended up bending my clutch pedal about 45 degrees with the force of the hit.

Well, could have been worse, although I hope there's no unforseen long term effects from it.

That being said if we're talking FR-S colors, orange > silver.

Bump for a cool vid!
Looking forward to mixing it up on the track this year.
