NASCAR Preseason 2011: We Made A Video
The same can be said for editing the video once you have it.

Testing didn’t fall under that policy, though, so this was a rare opportunity. Below is the amateurish video which I spiced up by including the track “Faster Ride” from Cartel, one of my favorite bands.
