THE REVIEW

When I recieved the video in my mailbox, the first thing I did was of course, tear apart the packaging and stick the video into my VCR. (I was all excited about it :flash: )
So, with big eyes I began watching the video, after the FBI warning dissappeared, the show began.
The first 20 minutes or so were the coverage of various auto shows, such as HIN (Hot Import Nights, for those living in the caves with no electricity) and NOPI, the first couple of minutes were engaging for me, but as the time went by, I began to lose interest in the very similar content that this first part consisted of. Next came some interesting things - lots of rubber burning and doughnuts. Again, this part lasted just a little bit longer than perfect, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. BUT what followed was some very stunning footage of street racing - some idiots wrecking each other's cars and one of them losing his bumper I kept my eyes glued to the screen as the cops trapped dozens if not hundreds of cars and the video makers didn't know where to hide and ....... well, let me not give it away here.. you'll laugh when you see it The streetracing portion by itself is well worth the $20 this video costs, I have never seen anything like it before, and I am sure that you will enjoy it much. This part was definately the peak of the whole video. After that, some legal drag racing followed, showing really horrible crashes, and soon the end of it all came.

P.S. Somewhere in the video was an amazing footage of a bike going over 170 MPH on an NY freeway - it was crazy. He definately did a wheelie at way over 100 MPH.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Recommendation: Although the video does not manage to keep you on the edge for the entire time, the street racing footage is definately a MUST SEE, and is well worth the video's price. Get it.


You can buy this video online from http://www.teamacclr8.com for $19.95.

Nathan from TeamAcclr8 told me that this was their first video - I was very surprised to hear that because the quality of the whole thing was VERY good. He said that they have learned much from making the video and the sequel, which will be available on both VHS and DVD, will be even longer and much more action-packed than this one.

Well, I am sure anyone who gets ACCLR8 will enjoy it, and feel free to leave your comments and thoughts about it in this topic here

Is this one going to be available on DVD? I put myself on a strict DVD diet. VHS wears out, you know. If the street racing footage is that awesome, I'm going to be rewinding a lot.
