Drag Racing Gassers!

I went to the Southeat Gassers Association event last weekend. It was pretty awesome. I made a video of it. It was raining off and on and the race was delayed several times. Unfortunately I had to leave before they finished the race. I wanted to get more video of them from mid-track and the finish line, but I just didn't have time.

My favorite type of Drag Racing, thanks for sharing, watching now.

I Love the UFO at the 3:20 mark.

Those gassers are a lot more powerful than I thought. My first time filming serious drag races. I have a lot to learn, 😂

I'm always amazed they can launch like that without shattering every part of the drivetrain, 😂

Great job! That was fun.....thank you!

Did you add the UFO for us while editing?

Hard to miss.

Awesome!
I've been a big fan of drag racing for 50 years!

Thanks!

You're welcome, glad you like the video. You would've loved this event. No special pit pass or anything. You can walk right up to the cars in the burnout pit. Pretty cool and not something you can do at bigger dragways.

Yeah, 😂. Did you see the alien next to the cars doing the burnout? I wondered how many of you would notice, 😂. I also put "They Live" stickers on the side of some of the racers' trailers. Also, "OBEY" is hidden on the side of the building for one race too. Did you notice the giant planets in the sky?

Regular viewers on youtube must think I'm crazy, 😂

Dude that's great stuff.

Next time leave just clues so we can find all the things ourselves but I'm going to have to watch again, and again, and again...

I generally put them in places you may naturally look, but that doesn't draw your attention too much (except for the UFOs & planets). For example, youtube says 95% of my channel's viewers are men, so I put a thumbs up logo on the butt of the girl in the red dress, 😂. I also put them on billboards, buildings or other places you'd normally see signs.

The predator alien is right in the middle of the screen as the camera moves to the right, tracking the "Underdog Racing" Camaro through a burnout. It is only there for a second and I think most people would probably miss it, unless they were watching closely.

I really started doing it as a way to practice motion tracking and object placement for some things I want to do in future videos. It's kinda of a neat novelty if you happen to notice one of them, you'll probably start looking in the background more. Of course I like aliens and sci-fi and stuff, so the idea is to say that aliens are here and walk among us, but no one even notices, like in the movie "They Live".

I was approved for Wonder Dynamics beta release, but didn't use it because they were still charging a fee, even for beta. I've thought about getting a subscription now though. I can get a cheap one for like $250/yr. It gives like 30 minutes of effects/month. That should be well more than enough for what I need.

Wonder Dynamics essentially turns any person in the video into anything you want. Aliens, robots, cartoon characters, etc. I thought it would be pretty fun to use.
