Hi All,
Was contacted by a local fella who is keen to take some highlights from our racing this weekend (West Coast Stockcar Champs, West Coast Production Saloon Champs, and Derby), and put it together on his facebook site. He has been doing the odd story for TV1/close up/good morning etc over the last 8 years , and has moved into facebook to try and increse the profile of what he is doing, and perhaps through the storys he is generating on local content get some more work - at least thats how I think it works!.
He then came back to me and said perhaps we can do a preveiw shot for this coming weekend to see how it goes? I jumped at the chance - anything different to promote an upcoming meeting - and we did a very quick interveiw with a local competitor in the hunt for this weekend.
With this background, you might be interested in having a look at the following - not sure how to embed a facebook video yet! *EDIT - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF FACETUBE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO ;D*

If we get some positive comments, and a spike in veiwing numbers I'm sure it will motivate him to do some more footage. If your a facebooker a couple of likes will also help my case for more speedway footage!
We have the NZ Stockcar GP next year, so if we get some practice in now we might have the chance to try and get some good footage on TV midweek early next year - well thats the goal anyway!
Thanks for taking the time to have a read, and again, if you like it, or want to support our case it would be appreiated. Any positive comments on his page also appreciated!
cheers
