Nice. Is that your GoPro setup beside you? If so, you could stick it down at the big end to get a finish shot. Also, the cars sound better than Nickelback or any music IMO. I used to edit music into drag racing clips 10-15 years ago till a friend told me the vids would be better just listening to the cars and I agreed. I think it was habit, because back then most vids like it were done that way. Anyway, don't mean to be a critic and you probably know more about this stuff than I do. Just thoughts in case they're of any interest.
Nice tripod work BTW. I got a cheap video tripod not long ago but I can't seem to stop it smooth like that. Not sure if it's me or I shoulda paid a small fortune instead of the cheapo.

All the clips were taken with a Google Pixel II XL handheld with IS, also helps to keep your feet planted and pivot at the hips same as you would a panoramic shot. Was on the line about music, but it was late at night and I like the song, tried to find an instrumental cover with no luck

I'm with Brent on the music. Much better without it PC  |

I'll be replacing it with a new version sans music shortly, including the bike we don't talk about...

Much better. Engines make great music!
Even more impressive being handheld on a phone. Good shots.

Have to agree...nothing like engine sounds. Music to my ears. Nice work.

The story on the bike is that it was taken out of storage last year after 20 years, and it does that every run...

I used to go out the the Heartland Park in Topeka KS for every race until they got pissy and only ran drag races.
It sounds like a lot of people were having mechanical issues in that clip. Maybe if they cleaned the mouse nests and turds out of the air filters on that bike it might run LOL

Apparently when it's running right that bike will put the fear of God in ya in an 1/8th mile if you can hang on, my favorite was the Hellcat, wicked little beast that one is  |
