| Part
3- Battery Beach Burnout |
| |
| We
make it to Shawn's in one piece and quickly load the Imp on the trailer.
We arrive at Battery Beach by 10 am. There is already a crowd. As
we unstrap the car, there seems to be camera men (personnel) everywhere. |

| |
| As
far as I was able to determine, there were two main film crews. There
was the 'Future Wheels' guys that we met Thursday and a Sundance
Channel crew doing a show on the Miramar
High School team. |

|
|
| |
| The
Sundance crew looked very 'Independent Film'. The director had an
exotic accent and wears black. They also seemed quite competent, setting
up quickly and getting their shots. They gave the impression that
the Electric Imp and I, might be cast as Goliath with Miramar playing
David. I did my best deadpan 'Professional Wrestling' style interview
but in truth, the Miramar team does not need to beat the Electric
Imp to be a great story. Lowell Simmons runs an amazing program and
his students deliver. Sportsmanship is a big part of the team ethics.
They cheerfully lend us their charger to make sure we can race. |
