As gearheads, we’re naturally drawn to car videos. And with the advent of the internet and web video portals that are essentially the YouTube for cars, hopping online and viewing some incredible creations or footage that you’d be unlikely to ever see on television is at our fingertips more than ever.
But even better than kicking back on your lunch break and watching said videos is actually producing them, because it’s these folks that are experiencing the exhilaration of performing mosquito-killing burnouts, making eye-opening dyno runs, and jamming the gears down the quarter mile. Well, what if one could get paid to do such things? Hit record on the camera and put the pedal through the radiator? Through a contest hosted by our good friends at ProCharger, you can in fact get paid to have fun on camera.
ProCharger has launched the second rendition of their popular Video Challenge, which awards a $5,000 grand prize to individuals who show their passion for ProCharger through the video medium with fun and creative videos portraying their cars and how they use their ProCharger supercharger systems. Submissions for the contest end on July 31 2011, and the winner and top five finishers will be announced on September 7.
Below is the full ProCharger Video Challenge 2 release:
