Just wondering why so many people show several minutes of video footage on a quick race, I just love watching two burnouts and announcements to see a the titled car run a quick pass, when the video should have been maybe twice as long as the pass itself, please kick me in the junk if you catch me doing this any time in the future. Oh and shiney cars and the cool music is fine, but not if it takes 10 minutes to buffer a 2 minute video!

I feel ya man. I hate listening to a bunch of crap and watching a bunch of unedited video. I don't think people want to hear you giggling like a school girl for a couple of minutes waiting for the race to happen.

If I post a video, I can gonna put out a decent product. Damn, have some pride in something if you gonna have your name on it..

Good call, I too have wondered this in the past. I don't mind some music and a quick walk around, but cut that shit off when the cars are racing. I wanna hear them!

I like when it starts, shows what each car has done to it, two quick pictures, the race, the end. Nothing else is needed.

I don't even mind the music as much as a 2 minute "walk around" someones ride showing a pullied Eaton or an LS7 engine that we all know too well.

I agree. I also could care less about a dark ass video at night. So I pretty much don't even bother to watch race videos anymore.

+1 on the dark thing.

I understand that almost all races happen at night but come on, don't people realize how hard it is to make out blurry headlights and taillights? :poke:

I don't mind when they're well edited and somewhat interesting, but when its crap and a 2 minute walk around and a boring ass race then yeah it pisses me off as well.

I'm guilty of this. My camera won't import to windows movie maker so I can never edit out the unwanted BS. I'll have to purchase something better. Most of the people that complain have NO videos though and that does get old.
