DragStory.com Launches Video ViZion Site!

 
A new adventure in video sharing!
 
When we started DragStory.com in June, we knew we would eventually add video in some form or another to the site.  After looking at a variety of options, we hit upon a new concept that allows us to embed video from many of the popular video portals like Youtube and StreetFire.  Once we built the site and tested the software, our attention turned to what videos to include on the site.
 
With as many great videographers as there are in the fast door car world and the massive amount of footage available, our task was almost daunting at times.  Eventually we decided to start with the thrills and spills of the 2009 season focusing first on the events we covered.  I spent a few days digging through YouTube to find as many good clips as I could.  I was astounded at the amount of footage available from this years’ races.  We ended up picking the best 27 videos we could find to start the site.  Never one to lay claim to another’s work, we have set up a contributor’s page to give credit where credit is due for the folks who spent the time to shoot and edit these great clips.  Without them, none of us would have the opportunity to enjoy there work. 
  
Stop on by and hang out for a bit, we think you’ll enjoy your visit!  www.videovizion.com   …and if you know of any great clips from this past year we’ve over looked, please email us at editor@dragstory.com with the links and we’ll do our best to included them.

The Rain Wins Again…

Steele Sunday Rain

In what seems to be the never ending story for the 2009 ORSCA season, rain has once again been the only victor on Sunday.  After a perfect day of qualifying with minimal down time and record runs in many classes, the rains came in the early hours and shutdown the racing action.  It’s a dismal way to end the season for all of the competitors, especially those in contention for a championship or who drove numerous miles to attend the World Finals.
