World of Outlaws)Forty drivers strapped into
their chariots. Hundreds of thousands of fans sat at the edge of
their seats with the thunderous roar of eight-cylinder engines
emphatically echoing around them. However, those chariots were Sim
Rigs. Those seats were couches, armchairs, beds and possibly even
the floor. And those engines were the simulated sounds of World of

MotorSport Video)Hey racefans!! I know times
are tough and good racing is hard to come by. Here at MotorSport
Video, I have decided to change things around a little bit. I am no
longer going to ship out DVDs of races. I am in the process of
digitizing all of my videos and will be offering them at reduced
prices that I will send to you via the internet. I don’t have to
handle them, put them in envelopes or take them to the post office.
I will be announcing a new classic video every month. For the month
of April, I am offering “1986 Thrills & Spills”. This video is
narrated by Mr. Sprintcarstats and all around funny guy, Kevin
Eckert. It is almost an hour long of spins, crashes, close finishes
and flips from that year. It includes action from Florida to Texas
to Indiana to Ohio, you get the idea. Around 40 different tracks.
What would normally cost you $15 with S&H, will be offered for
$7.50. All you have to do is PayPal me at
“[email protected]” or send CC info to me at “[email protected]
Once payment is received, I will email you the link to download the
video. You will have 3 days to retrieve it, and I will know when you
have it. You can put it on your main computer, laptop or put it in
your cloud to be able to watch it on your phone or tablet. Remember
to send your email and info to me at
“[email protected]”.

Brody Roa)In the summer of 1977, Rita Coolidge had a hit song
titled “Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher.” One of the lines in the
song went, “Now once I was downhearted, disappointment was my
closest friend.” Many racers in Southern California are downhearted
and it is safe to say that disappointment is not their closest
friend right now due to the coronavirus. One of them is Garden
Grove, California racing star Brody Roa and he cannot wait till it
is time to get back on the track. 4.jpg Brody Roa photo courtesy of
