Norman Motorsports - SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge 2010

Just finished editing this piece for Norman Motorsports. Camera operators Gavin White, Wes Waters & myself when out to Laughlin, NV for the first of the five race SCORE desert racing series. This is a very difficult, rough and fast course only 6 mi in length, having racers trudge through 8 arduous laps before limping to a finish.

Unfortunately the Norman Motorsports car, which was not their standard no. 8 Trophy Truck, had two DNF's for the two days of racing, but then again only 8 out of 28 trophy trucks finished, which lends to the harshness of the course. The course is great for shooting, located in the Mojave crossing where the Colorado river runs through, there is a consistent view of mountains about 270 degrees around the track, making for many beautiful frames.

We had an awesome time and are anxiously awaiting the next race; something about shooting video very close to 850HP trucks racing by that is just too much fun. Check out the video for yourself.
