This was the Katrina Video I setup to stream
from the old South Cypress Speedway website. The
footage was filmed September 29, 2005, not
long after the water was pumped out from St
Bernard Parish Streets.
After completing this first Video I was
overwhelmed with requests for copies from
everyone who got a chance to see it. After a few
days of constantly burning DVDs
I decided to compress and stream the video from
server space I rent. Within a week
of this video being on the old Racetracks
website, word of mouth had grown to the point
where it received 50,000 hits in one 24 hour
period. This got my site shut down and almost
cost me over $500.00 in bandwidth charges.
