Hey Scott,

Finally got a chance to check out you video--Sweet! I think its great to work on this kind of stuff with your kids. This is why I am draining my pocketbook on that damn mud truck!! And its a helluva lotta fun.
I do the building and paying, and my son does the driving.

There is not a better way to keep your kids involved in the good stuff (tunin' on them Fords). Been keepin me out of trouble for years!

Nice truck.

Thanks, Todd. I wanted to post a longer version but YouTube accused me of copyright violation for the music and they took it down. Here's some more of the same video:

DAMN Todd!!! That video was EXPLOSIVE!

You got two thumbs up (actually beer bottles) from me AND my partner here!!!

You run that one in the next round and you'll bag it- but you may not have to.

Texas Outlaw, I gotta hand it to you too - you shor have your video skills right up there with the best of 'em!

The video aspect of the shows in developing truck popularity is one that cannot be overlooked. Anyone who can do that has one heck of an edge IMHO.

PS: Please no videos embedded in the threads here - links only. It kills dial up people.

With 5 days to go it's getting to be a very heated contest......

It's already broken the 100 vote point and it's still going strong.

We're rounding the 3/4 post and coming into the stretch...can you feel the excitement, I'm sure Todd and Scott do....especially you Todd with that awesome looking kick a$$ race truck...

The excitement and the thrill is a rush, no one knows it until your in the game.

Great job people let's keep the momentum going......

I tell yez what - with this kind of action on the front end, no telling who is going to jump into the next seven, and rising popularity and awareness of the contest the finals are going to look like a FIRESTORM!!!

Tin-Man sed: "Believe ME, I know how they feel and at the end of the one I was in, the stopping clock would'nt Stop!!! "
I tracked down what happened. I was an hour off in the time/date setting department. It's zeroed in now, and tested.

Something else I'm watching is the total numbers of votes coming in. It's growing steadily with every round.

Round 1 Total: 203

Round 2 Total: 166

Current round: 280 and five days left

Another indicator is number of views:

Round 1: 2,323

Round 2: 1,832

Current: 2,244

Based on the views versa the votes - it's getting more active!

The precise indices are:

2,323/203 = 11.44

1,832/166 = 11.036

2,244/280 = 8.014

~Where the lower the result is the higher the response per view. On the average every 8.01 views a vote is cast.
