Update on \"How to Drag Race Your Viper\" Videos........

Hello,

The VHS versions have been shipping this week. They DVD version will be available starting June 1.

I have been hesitant to post about the product because the intitial response was so strong and it took longer to get them ready than we thought.

A recap of the video is as follows:

What you need to bring to the races
How to prep your car
How to properly set your tire pressure
The dragstrip environment
Tech inspection
Staging lanes
The track surface
The "Christmas tree" starting device(what all those lights mean)
How to burn out
How to stage
How to launch
Shift Points
The finish line and mph lines
Understanding the time ticket
Dragstrip dynometer graphs
Conversion to sea level density altitude graphs
Radials vs. slicks
stock viper techniques
modified viper techniques(nitrous passes)
lots of footage from the track....and a whole lot more

This video is conceived from my 20+ years of drag racing experience. I have wore out my keyboard answering emails about how to's like burnouts and launches and most of the other topics that are covered. It has been a pleasure to produce this guide and I hope it is a genuine aid to all who watch and use it.

The VHS version is $ 39.95 plus a flat $ 4.55 shipping and handling for a total of $ 44.50(USPS 2 Day Priority Mail). The DVD version is $ 59.95 plus 4.55 for a total of $ 64.50

All video purchases come with the following coupon(your receipt)that is good for future purchases from BTR. The coupon virtually renders the video FREE.

$1,001.00 and over get a $ 100 discount on your next purchase

As always thanks again for your intrest.

Nadine, Keep in mind that the UK uses the PAL video format and the USA uses the NTSC format. A tape from here in NTSC format will not work there on most machines.

Don't deter from getting the tape because You have some simple options:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Have a Multi-System VCR or convertor. Example: http://www.planet3000.com/MSVCR_TSHB.shtml
<LI>See if Tom can get his Video contact to make up a PAL format tape for you from the Master. Would be the Best quality and Should be simple for them to do.
<LI>Line up Tom or some one in CO to get a copy made from NTSC to PAL, All major cities here have places that can do this and it's Inexpensive to do, but one generation loss in quality. Or find a place by you that can do it.
[/list]

Just don't want any surprises when you get home and try to play it.

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Or Nadine could just order the DVD. It's MPEG encoded, so it will play anywhere.

The DVD player converts the MPEG to PAL if it's a UK machine, or NTSC if US.

Of course, this would not apply to movies as these are regionally encoded so the studios can roll out movies by region. I'm sure Tom's video is not regionally encoded.</FONT f>
