Youtube is getting very good at automatically stripping music off videos, that's why I stick to classical music usually, which is harder to claim copyright on. But this time I had a track I really wanted to use, so this version without music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-78BZ4da1I&fmt=18 ...isn't very satisfying. Give it a miss if you intend downloading the full, 170Mb director's cut (as recommended by nine out of ten self-interested movie makers) from here... http://rapidshare.com/files/231600309/silverado.wmv Andrew McP

The short ovals can be a fairly intense experience, but I spend all my time either avoiding crashes or hugging the outside being overtaken. I do a few for a change of scenery. But the big ovals are a totally different experience. Potentially very lonely indeed (at least at the back of a road race you still have the track to beat!) but the thrill of pack racing is very hard to beat really. It's unlike any other kind of racing experience.... and not very good for the blood pressure at all. :-) I nearly cracked the other week when Talladega and the COT were on the rota, and in retrospect I wish I had.

And yes, it worked pretty well... surprisingly well, in fact! I needed something to replace the original track (Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits) and just dropped the Vivaldi piece onto the editor, lining it up with the end of the movie. And that was it! The start lined up nicely enough with an appropriate bit of movie, and there were even some sections which looked like they'd been edited closely to match the music. Overall It was rather more satisfying than I had any right to expect. They say you make your own luck. I say no, sometimes you just get very lucky. :-) Andrew McP
