That is at Sonoma ... those stands are a looooonnnnggg way from the track, which makes it more impressive. Very cool.

 

[You!]

There's your next Full Throttle commercial in a nutshell.

Someone might want to forward this to their marketing department. Seriously.

Those videos are so impressive. I would show that to anyone on the fence about going to an event.

i've watched that several times now, and I just crack up every time I see it!

I've sent this to several of my NASCAR fans who think THOSE cars are about the loudest around.

It's amazing for sure. Everytime i bring a newb out to the Gators,they leave a changed person! Hell,they're changed after the first nitro warm-up!

Another great video! Awesome find. Love the night pair they show.. they have the audio figured out - one microphone collecting the sound during the entire run... and two wider angle camera positions.... just how I like it

(as I take a jab at ESPN) Unlike jamming 4 camera angles from 4 audio positions during a 3.6 second run.

Actually, ESPN used to show the impact fuel cars had on a half full Powerade bottle on the track wall at the starting line....this was part of the lead in to the racing as the animated piece is now. Of course, that's when Powerade was the series drink.

Yes read somewhere that they did infact test that, got a 2 or something.

If I recall correctly, it was at Pomona back in about 2007 and registered a 2.4 at the finish line.

It was done at Denver and as I remember it registered around a 2.something .

It was done at Denver and as I remember it registered around a 2.something .

AND they were a couple of hundred yards away from the track when they took said measurement.
