Tommy great looking video only one question how was the crowd as this race was on the Saturday of the Sprint Nationals and by the looks of the crowd in the video it did not look good as this was heat #5 which I presume was pretty well in on the show.Just curious as their addmission price was pretty good for the weekend (Fri & Sat.)

Tommy who's site is this? I was going to contact them and see if they would let me sell the dvd's. I will be having a new site for Dirt track racing for 2009 season.

High Vista is run by a Michigan-based guy...I am blanking on the name at the moment...I think his name is Jeff?  I really should know it...sorry...He does good work, and really gets around...all the other clips on the site are worth watching...some great action from some of my favourite US dirt tracks on there.


As for the crowd at the Nationals, it was actually pretty good...you have to remember that the event was delayed by 2 weeks, and that the weather was crappy that day (we battled a constant drizzle throughout the evening)...and that we have seating for 8,000 on the front stretch, so it tends to look empty even with a good number of folks there - the majority of the seating area is 26 rows high, and most of the fans sat up high...

All things considered, it was a decent crowd...probably around 4,000 or so if I had to guesstimate...There probably weren't too many walk-ups there...I think it was mostly people who had bought pre-sale reserved seats.
