I just received an email from Josh Clason: "How are things going? It has been a while. You may have seen but we hit the road and now are traveling around. I started releasing Season 02 and thought you might be interested."
C'mon, Josh. I was hopeful you chucked your work in after finishing Season 01, 'cause your style and skills always let me go green with envy.
"Documentary of Speed Scotland and their attempt to break the 300+mph club out at Speed Week 2011. In order to attempt this, Speed Scotland has to prepare months in advance to have the car ready to be shipped out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Speed Week is the only time of the year that they can race the car and provides a steep challenge."
Josh Clason has done it again. We met each other during SEMA, and it was too bad I we both had such a tough schedule ...
Update.
A day after I wrote this post I met Alex(andra) Lier. Some may know Alex for her amazing book "Speedseekers" (if you don't — order it now!), others for her deep passion for all kinds of racing, especially salt lake racing. When Alex saw my post, she told me she was taking pictures of the streamliner while Josh was shooting the video.
A few days ago I stumbled over an article at autoblog.com in which Jeff Glucker announced Josh Clason teamed up with eGarage. Because I never heard of eGarage before—shame on me!—and their website was password protected when I tried to check it out, I searched a bit. This is what I found on Wastebook ... er ... Facebook:
"We believe that it’s time for a new way to look at Automotive. Not just the car itself, but everything that goes along with it. We believe that the people who build the cars are as important as the people who drive the cars. We believe that the people who modify the cars are as important as those who race and as those who show their cars. We believe that cars themselves have become an integral part of our life and these cars, this world of automotive, deserve a better viewing medium on the internet. We believe in car culture. We believe in telling stories.
To those of you who see the car as something more than a mode of transportation, to those of you who could stand and look at a car for 30 minutes from every angle, to those of you who believe that certain cars have souls and that, if appropriately showcased, a car can bring about emotions just as people and nature can, then you have found four friends at eGarage. Welcome."
