Dad's Christmas present Hey all,
My dad is one of those guys who buys everything he wants when he wants it, so I decided to make him a video for Christmas. We ran in the Super Pro class of the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge this year, and we won the class. It was our first time competetively racing, so we were really excited.
I don't want to host this on streetfire or anything because I'm afraid he'd run across it, so I've hosted it on my colocated server. EDIT: It was a really huge file, so I've re-encoded it to be significantly smaller (150MB). I'll leave the old link just in case you want to download the 1GB version.
EDIT AGAIN: Due to issues with viewing the AVIs, I went ahead and posted it on Streetfire.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I wish we had more footage to use, but my wife (the videographer) only made it to two races this year, so there wasn't much to show. 
I'm working on re-encoding it to be a bit smaller. The guy I pay for colocating my server is already bitching about my bandwidth usage.

I re-encoded the file and uploaded a smaller (150MB) version. Here's the link:

Alright, alright. I put it on Streetfire. Now I just need to jack with his computer so he can't see it. Maybe a hosts file entry for streetfire pointing to a **** site.
