Title: Greg Moser died over the weekend.
Post by: videoholic on May 19, 2003, 12:23:50 PM

Normally I would be like, yeah, whatever.  But it\'s kind of weird.

A couple weeks ago we shot a ring and pinion show where we built up a 12 bolt rear end.  We had Greg Moser on as a guest.  So for two weeks I edit a show watching Greg Moser.  We finish the show today and now he has passed.  Very strange feeling.

Now I have to cut 7 seconds out of the show somewhere to put a dedication slate at the end of it.

Greg Moser for those of you who don\'t know is a huge rear end builder for the NHRA.  Yeah, I don\'t care about the NHRA either, but that\'s who he is.

No!  Not Greg Moser!

Who\'s Greg Moser?  Car guy?  NHRA?  (I hate acronyms for this reason)

It\'s too bad.  We can always use more really good greasemonkeys around. :crap:

He\'s a major player in the automototive aftermarket.  He builds real nice rear ends for drag cars.

The point wasn\'t really who he was, but how freaky it is to be editing a show looking at him on screen for 2 weeks and to know that he is dead and I haven\'t even finished editing the thing yet.

You can mention your condolences, or dedicate the show to him.

I made the call in today.  I shrunk the show by 7 seconds and I am going to hold a dedication page up for 5 seconds at the end of the show.  It will be nice.

Imagine a still graphic on the screen with nothing happening but silence.  See how long 5 seconds is.  That is quite a while.

I agree, that would be freaky. Still sorry to hear of his loss.

What show was this for?

First shows of the new season start Sunday the 25th at 11am on Speed Channel.  He is in show 208 which would be 8 weeks.  Whatever that date is.  Not sure.

It\'s Two Guys Garage.  The same show I\'ve been doing for 4 years now.

It\'s pretty sad.  I watched the show again tonight and he was really cool.  Damn that guy knows his shit about rear ends.  The show actually is pretty good.  You learn a lot about building a ring and pinion from scratch.

Do watch the show!!!  I saw "The Ring", and I know what happens when you watch dead people on tv.
