Nice.

About 5 years ago I happened to be at Englishtown for a Mustang race (I got eliminated early, so I headed to the stands to film.)

I caught Tommy Trotter flipping and burning his Mustang to the ground. I've had this tape for a while, and some Court TV show just contacted me and wants to give me $500 for a copy of it!

Sweet!

So to date let me tell you what I have earned with my home movies -

Filmed Big Daddy Dwayne Guthridges first 7 sec pass on BFG drag radials - BFG gave me (4) 325/50/15 drag radials for the film (worth about $800)

Filmed Tommy Totters crash - Court TV's most daring is providing me $500 + DVD set of the show.

Not bad for a rookie camera man.

Now if Animal Planet will give me a few $$$'s for my Turtle vid, I can retire early.

Here's the crash and burn....

That was one heck of a launch...Why would a court tv want the video??(I live here at the alley and don't get out much)

Nice video Mike. Pretty cool to do something you enjoy AND GET PAID for it. You need to hold out for the turtle vid. It's priceless!

Nice Video Mike!! Glad you can do what you enjoy and get paid for it! That's an extra bonus. Good to have those memories.

I remember when Trotter flipped that car, they said that he was still on the gas when the car was on its roof.
