Hi Carl
You let me dub copy that video from you in 1992. I copied it camcorder to camcorder. That was at Indy, and you had just brought out the second bomb, to drop on the hemi's in SS/BA. Well you brought the bomb out for several years ongoing! The quality of your Rockingham film was very low when we dubbed that. I think you were thrilled to have film of the 1990 class win in SS/BA.

Funny how you lost your copy! I still have loads of early 90's SS action. I loved to film class runoffs in Indy every year. I could never understand why NHRA never made films of SS class. Its a perfect 90 minute package. Just pure film with no narration.

Most of that stuff is twice copied, from my original video work circa 1990 onward. There is nothing there pre 1990. I gave my pals like Pustelny, Westcott, Schaechter, Stealy, and others copies of that film. I shot most of it and borrowed film when people would provide it. I briefly sold that stuff before buying a Super L car.

I may sell copies of that stuff someday again. I am too busy right now to drag out the Super-VHS tapes. Its good the Schaechter's loaded it on You -tube. The best You-Tube video is still Fillipone's video! That is great quality sound!
