This weekend I am in Wilmington, Ohio at the ECTA land speed meet and away from the drags. I love the land speed world and clearly have a strong affinity for the drags as well so this video is a fun way to keep a foot in both worlds today. Our pal Les Mayhew is the guy behind the amazing Nitro America films and this trailer for his upcoming feature on the 2015 March Meet is simply awesome. Using his typically great video which is braced up with the right sounds of announcers, cool music, or just the gut rumbling tremors of nitro engines, it is a two and a half minute adventure into the heart of the best nostalgia drag race in the world.
The best thing about these films that Les makes is that they will hold up strongly over time. They are not over produced, too flashy, and filled with editing tricks. As we have said before they are films made by a guy who understands and loves the sport. Because of that understanding and love for the sport he takes the angles, focuses on the details, and tells the story in a truly awesome way.
The feature length video will be a long running piece but this two and a half minute look into it is like a good chili. It takes a LOT of amazing ingredients and cooks them down into a group of concentrated flavors you want a whole lot more of.
straight up ART, we are blessed to have Mayhew filming Drag Racing!
