A Long Weekend

It was a long weekend this week Saturday we went to the boat races in Morgan City but the weather was to bad to race in, which was really annoying because we had waited all day for some racing but we did get some good interviews. Sunday was more hectic, first thing in the morning we went to the boat races to see if they were racing. They put out a couple of boats which we got some footage of but the water was still a little to rough to race. So we decided to leave and go to the autocross in Baton Rouge about an hour and a half away.

Here's one of the boats we filmed before we left.

Before we got to the autocross we stopped at No Problem Raceway which was on the way to the autocross to pick up some scaffolding. We then went straight to the autocross at the police training facility in Baton Rouge and filmed at the first worker station. It was the last hour of racing so we only got about an hour of footage. So then we went back to the boats races after the autocross was over, so we had another long hour and a half drive.

When we got back to the boat races the lake had calmed down enough to race but since we got there late we only got to see the last hour of racing.

This is a picture of the Agitator which one first place in its class.
So when we got home we were hot, sunburned, and sweaty but at least we got some footage.

Started shooting in our new studio

Count the number of cars in the picture then estimate how many belong to Dr. white. We started to make room for the new set. Half of our shop will be the new studio set for Speed Zone. We had to move several cars out in order to have a little bit of room for the studio. We moved them to the trailer. We need to sell a few If you need a race car let us know we have several to choose from. How many cars are in this picture?
I think we will move the kids go karts to the bus.


Moving cabinets around to give a clean look for the show.

On top of the cabinet is a autographed home plate by Greg Madox, Tom Glavin, and John Smoltz it says's young guns how old do you think the plate is?
Don't forget the sponsors. They are everywhere now where's the money?

The tire wall every great race car driver has thousands of these things we only have a couple of them.




Give me a low five. We just got something done!

The tire wall is about as tall as Richard. I'm tired even though I didn't work! Richard doing his usual doom and gloom act. Like he actually did something.

What do you mean used a hammer what do you think this is?


A Sunny Sunday and stuck inside instead of racing. Well, we are still waiting on our new tires.
Jason taking some test shots of the set. They look great now we need some real actors. Well with what we are paying we have to settle for these guy's.
In count the cars there are 14 cars 3 of which are go karts. Picture 2 has 10 cars with 1 of them a kart and 1 bus. Dr. White owns 7 of these cars and one bus. These pictures compliments of Richard and Easton White

we are up and running

Well it's up and running still have some tweaking to do but all in all it's going well. We will be working on three of the Speed Zone shows. They are buying and selling race cars on line, race school, and drag racing the family car.I finally got a phone call from my mail man that the package was found. After three weeks in transit but I knew it would show up because they were insured; the post office isn't going to loose that kind of money. Now the new camera's have arrived. They are easier to use than the beta's but the beta's still have a great picture but these have a unbelievable picture. Of course it was raining, electronics and rain what a combination.. At 2:30 in the morning Wayne is about wiped out but hanging in there. We are now playing catch up with all the work that needs to be done. Long days ahead.
Jason at the healm. debugging the system will take as long as building the computer.
The editing room (suite) is now functional and running. Quadcore processor tera bits it's all here and I don't have a clue about it but thankfully we have Jason.
