Awesome, I was at the hollywood release! But I will DVR this one. Thanks for the heads up.

[thedodgeboys]

Someday....


Maybe if I'm good enough!

[CarlC]

I still have it saved on the DVR! It drives my wife nuts that it's still there.

Haha...me 2 Carl. How many times have you watched it? I'd say maybe 6x for me. Now you're going to live it...:)

[Matt@BOS]

Haha...me 2 Carl. How many times have you watched it? I'd say maybe 6x for me. Now you're going to live it...:)

Imagine how long 2010's event is going to be on his DVR for. Oh and good luck out there Carl!

[CarlC]

LOL!! I'm going to be buried with that DVR!

Thanks. I'm semi-scrambling but looking forward to the whole week.

[cobragt]

Sweet!

[class67]

I also, still have it saved on my DVR...

[rockytopper]

I have it saved and have watched Scott over run his wagon into the dirt over and over. My favorite part. Scott thanks so much for the info on the spectra head light grills it really added the finishing touches to my cutlass. Even thou Scott helped me out I'll have to cheer for Bret and his 66 ridetech e-rod chevelle in the 2010 event sense he was nice enough to take me around the cones and show me how it's done when he was down in Fort Worth a few weeks ago. Thanks what a blast, and NO thanks for the road course ride invitation. I ain't gettin in a car with you at the wheel ever again. The word "INSANE" comes to mind.

I just watched it for the first time and really enjoyed it. It was cool to see some of our local rides and watch the owners beat on them. What were the rules on tires for the event, the Cobra was running some pretty aggressive tires.

[thedugan]

Think I saw larrys car in line behind the cobra on the road course event.

[formula]

I am as giddy as a school girl thinking I get to be out there this year, even just watching is going to be awesome. Gonna be the best birthday ever!

[musclecarmatt]

just got done watching it......awesome!!!!....makes me want do more stuff to my camaro lol!

[Larry Callahan]

Think I saw larrys car in line behind the cobra on the road course event.

It's not on here yet but I think you see it in the 0-60-0 with the front wheels locked up.

[DLinson]

Great! I happened to turn it on when they were showing the carnage from the tunner car blowing the tranny. They then they started showing a bunch of the cars broken and towed off. The wife is freeking out again for fear that I'm going to destroy my car this year. I haven't yet and I was pretty hard on it at RTTH and the Faceoff. She'll be worrying about it now until I get back home.

The competition will be tough this year with all of the big names showing up. Ryan from DSE is about my size, I wonder if anyone would notice if he was in my Nova for the autocross and lap?

I don't have a chance at winning but it will be fun just to compete with the rest.

[TonyHuntimer]

I missed the Hollywood release and didn't get to see it until last night. I missed the first 10 minutes, but it was the best 50 minutes of my week! :) I got to see myself on TV in my yellow photo vest a few times.

I was so busy shooting the event last year I didn't really get to enjoy it. I'll see you out there again this year. It will be another great event!

Last time we watched it was just fun. This time my heart started racing and I realized I needed to get over to the shop/garage and start wrenching.... I can't tell you how excited we are!!!

[wmhjr]

Also kind of funny watching Mary in High Def on the course while they beeped out half her commentary! Love it. It's staying on the Tivo for a while!

[SicMonte]

can we buy that program? I didnt have a chance to see it and would buy it if it was available.

[Bryce]

doesnt V8 TV own the video. I might be wrong.

[Scott Parkhurst]

I have it saved and have watched Scott over run his wagon into the dirt over and over. My favorite part. Scott thanks so much for the info on the spectra head light grills it really added the finishing touches to my cutlass. Even thou Scott helped me out I'll have to cheer for Bret and his 66 ridetech e-rod chevelle in the 2010 event.

I'll never live that down. I'll hate G-Techs forever.

I'm cheering for Bret too- the wagon won't be there this year. Him and Tommy (with another blue '66 Chevelle). And Dennis' Nova. And on and on..! LOL!

[RS_Customs]

It's been sitting on my DVR since the 22nd and I can't believe I didn't make time to watch it till now. Dang that was a great video! That will be taking up space on the DVR for a long time, lol. Hope I can make it out to that event at some point. Was great to see so many familiar faces representing the sport.

[cobragt]

It was cool but I really wish they showed more racing action and less interviews

[Larry Callahan]

A DVD is available for purchase and it's not owned by V8TV. I will hunt down the link for it in the old thread.

That would be great! I would like to get a copy and free up my dvr, lol.

[RS_Customs]

Hey Larry,

Any chance you were able to track down the link? The only one I can come up with is the v8tv link (http://v8tvshow.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=1&keyword=&manufacturer_id=0&Itemid=192&orderby=product_name&limit=25&limitstart=0)

V8TV has a video of the 2009 Optima Invitational. It's different than the one on TV but the track footage is actually better.

[Larry Callahan]

I agree, the V8TV dvd is awesome and not just because MotiV8r is in it. LOL! I sent an e-mail a few minutes ago to the production company asking about a DVD since I can't find the link.

[RS_Customs]

Cool thanks.

Robert

[SR71BB]

Have we heard when the 2010 that was just filmed will air?

[oestek]

Thanks for the kind words on the '09 DVD guys... we still have some if anyone is interested.
