I had high hopes, but found it disappointing. I was amazed that they could produce an hour long documentary on hill climbing and show less than five minutes of actual racing footage. (It seemed like almost all of it was taken at one corner on one course). There wasn't much detailed info about the cars and no real story arc, either. It basically seemed like one guy interviewing a half dozen of his racing buddies.

This was not a good documentary. It was poorly planned, and doesn't have the production values that many Youtube homesteaders produce almost daily. It does seem like someone just giving a quick interview to friends. There is almost no racing footage. The is very little information given on the various classes of cars other than some cars are cheap and faster cars cost more. In an era of go-pro cameras for cars, drones, and cheap stationary cameras the whole track could have been covered to let the viewer experience a few minutes of exciting footage. A small team of amateur but experienced young people probably could have been talked into making an interesting and exciting documentary for beer money.
