Default First episode of Blackdog reality series...

Long story short, we had over 280 hours of footage from the 2005 season, that was in a box here at the shop. Patrick Gramm, of Gramm Productions was nice (or gullible) enough to offer to make them into something worth watching...

First episode is up, in three parts on youtube. You can also access them here

Check it out, and let us know what you think.

Very nicely done. Honestly that is better than about 90% of the stuff they show on Speed. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for putting this together, it was definitely worth watching and I'll be on the lookout for the next episode. It was very "Truth in 24"'esque.

Of course, that also means that I wouldn't want to watch that instead of actual race coverage but it's a great complement to it.

I was thinking while I was watching that this was the best thing i've ever seen on utube...or anything on the net...then I read your post and I totally agree...better than about 90% of the stuff you see on TV.

Just an awesome video! I'm local to you guys (Naperville) and I'll be rootin' for you. Are you all going to be running any races at Autobahn this year?

Interesting air intake pipes under the hood and the mention of the vest / flax jacket under the driving suit. Protect the chest and body cavity
