@playingbass45 The cause of the spin of the GTP corvette was slight oil patch on the driver's right (Frame left) edge of the track. When he came a touch wide off the corner his right rear got into the oil and caused him to slide due to wheel spin, when he tried to correct the left sides had hit the grass, which caused the spin to reverse directions and WHEEEEE!
shouldn't say you direscted this, and edited it??? this is from the series...And the Walked away from Diamond P sports...naughty to copy infringe!! just say you saw it , and wanted to share :-) peace friend :-) :-) :-)
Well I try to base my music selections based on my mood, and what fits most appropriately with the footage I am using. Unfortunately lately I've been running into copyright issues with music so I have had almost 1/3 of my videos shut down. It is rather frustrating especially when I get 10 mail messages asking me to put them back up.
The copyright stuff is a pity. I guess WNG doesn't want any sales anymore from toobers. I have sworn them off, they act as if you're making money but as we see below, some folks dont' know the music, ask the name and go out and buy it. These WNG people are in the dark.
Indeed I agree with you on that. The WMG is not making any sense any more. The music and such that I have been using is because I went out and bought the CD's myself. I don't like to use stuff I havn't paid for. But evidently that sale and additional sales aren't important to them because someone might be listening to a track on youtube instead of buying their CD or downloading it for their Ipod.
Very good video. It would be great if you made a similar video, with European and Asian crashes instead. I'm European, so i would of course think that a video with only American tracks/races lacks some European influence ;)
The tracks i think to recognize are Road Atlanta, Riverside and Watkins Glen. Maybe Lime Rock is also included, i am not sure. Maybe someone knows definitely. But anyway nice footage, thanks for sharing.
WI is Wisconsin, and it's quite alright. I work driving truck and I know there are people who do the booking for loads for us that don't even understand the state abbreviations.
even more ironic is that it is estimated that nearly 30% of the population of this country can neither read, or write english. God bless America, the only country in the world where the illiterate ass can still be a bigshot.
the music is by Nightwish, the name of the track escapes me at the moment but I will look it up when I have time later. It was one of those things I have always said I can do a video to just about any style of music, and this was just a followup to a Beetoven piece I did but never posted.
Yeah, I know about Riverside. Was a great track. But it doesn't hold a candle to Cleveland, that's for sure. But few tracks are as good as Cleveland, really. Even fewer are better.
I would love to, unfortunately I only have the first one or I would definitely be putting out more. I guess I am going to have to track them down since I have been getting a lot of hits on this one and the other asking for much the same!
Awesome Stuff, again.

Good appropriate choice of music, it's a rare thing on YouTube these days.

If I may ask, what is the music used in this video?

Thanks for that - the artist name was all I needed to track it down.
The song title is Moondance, for others who would like to know.
DBoy02 3 years ago
The group is Nightwish
racingformusic 3 years ago
Yeah, as the replies note, I already knew that.
DBoy02 3 years ago
at 2:38, what type of motorsport is that?
ExclusivePreviews 3 years ago
Either SCCA Spec Racers or Sports 2000. Not too sure as the two had similar-looking cars back in the '80s.
DBoy02 3 years ago
that would be the proto 2000 series at the old riverside california track before they tore it out to put in a shopping mall.
mercenaryomega1 3 years ago
Yeah, I know about Riverside. Was a great track. But it doesn't hold a candle to Cleveland, that's for sure. But few tracks are as good as Cleveland, really. Even fewer are better.
