They're lucky they didn't make corpses out of themselves or someone else. Frickin Idiot.

Let this be a lesson: always shoot in landscape mode, not portrait.

And leave the Blond Air Raid Siren at home...I was hoping they''d crash just so I could hear her last annoying gasp.

No, Juliette, he doesn't care for you.

Jesus.

She needs better friends. It sounded like through her wailing she was saying that it's her car. Bet she doesn't let just anyone drive it from now on.

I missed that. Tough to get the details with my inner ear bleeding, the cilia awash in a red tide.

Vertical video or driving on to a hot race track, I'm not sure which is worse.

It's stupid and real annoying especially when a video has the potential to be real good. This one, not so much. Early cell phone cameras are to blame, but people have got to be real ****ing retarded if they can't figure out that they are producing schitty videos. The only way to fix it is to keep on it and spread the word.

I figured with the trackheads and racers on Pelican some might have more negative opinions of the kids. At a large track where during club races, only the critical corner worker stations are manned, I had some drunks drive a golf cart through the corner station wall gap and onto the track then go counter race. That was a near death experience for all of us so maybe I'm a bit more sensitive than worrying about the orientation of the fuking video

Kind of my point dlockhart. How the hell did they get through the paddock even? Lucky the idiots didn't get creamed on the track.

Not funny! Not funny at all. He could have killed himself, the people in the car, the driver that hit him and endangered the course workers that would have to go the help the idiot. He's luck it was just some VW beetles.

Looking at the marshals, not one corner was on RED. Race control should have called an Alert and has all corners go red.

I chewed someone out last weekend for shooting vertical video. Well, sorta. "here, let me help you with that. See, doesn't that look much better?
He was shootiig a carousel, and getting one horsie at a time. Isn't it AMAZING how you can capture the whole scene?

Then I socked him in the mouth.

Or at least, I wanted to.

here's another good anti- VVS video.
