NORDIC and NASCAR
 

For all you fans of both.....I put the two together for a Nationwide TV commercial promo. It was originally to filmed here on LI with some of our clients NORDICS....my suggestion to the production company to pick NORDIC. They liked the Nordic pics I had sent them and was about to pull this all together. Spoke to Loniie and Randy and as things moved ahead and the North East weather got cold and rainy .....the production company decided to film the promo at Lake Havasu instead. BETTER WEATHER :( :( :( than NY. SO NASCAR and NORDIC fans ....keep a look out for this........maybe Thanksgiving, X-MAS or Super Bowl weekends might get the viewings. OH BTW.....how did I convince the producers to pick NORDIC over other performance boat companies?

Just told them that ROBBY GORDON'S sister owns one and is a big fan of NORDIC and Lonnie :drink:

They started filming yesterday BTW :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

Hey! Been real busy w/ work. Seems all the builders have no intentions of slowing down. I was hoping to get out there this fall but I can't even get a day off. Back together with the girlfriend and planning on getting married in may. If you want to plan a trip out around then, I'll send you an invite. Maybe we can make it out for the poker run in June? I think its june? Would love to hook up w/ you guys again!

Hey Paul,

Lonnie called me as well. We have three awesome 35's that he wanted us to bring to New York for the shoot. Timing was the issue with us. It's nice to see Nordic get the press they deserve. I have owned and promoted Nordic boats for over 17 years and feel they are the best kept secret in the performance boating industry. With the new ownership I think the secret is out.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

Wish I could take the credit, but it goes to Paul.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

LOL....thanks for the clarification :drink:

As for the NYC Poker Run ....DO NOT MISS IT

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR

I orchestrated the shoot via a NY production company :drink:

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

I'm grateful Paul (forgive me for getting
easily confused about who did what).

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

LOL.....NO PROBLEM :drink:

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

Wow,
I just saw this Nascar ad, and it is VERY cool. Looks like it was shot at Lake Mead with 3 Flames running toward Hoover Dam,
playing chicken.
BTW, it was a Fox Network/NASCAR ad.
Great job Paul:D !

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

Thanks Steve.............Very cool :drink:

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

I saw it on TV during the Ok/Boise game. Might need a little gel coat repair...guess that's why they used white boats.LOL. Anybody know who supplied the boats? Don't see many white ones, or maybe they just edited the colors.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

Was supposed to be us here in NY but.....because of bad weather they filmed it in AZ and the factory supplied the boats.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

The boats actually used did not look like they do
in the spot, nor did the drivers. They digitally re-did
the boat finish and the drivers faces to be the
corresponding NASCAR drivers.

My boat was one, a guy named Steve Flood from Nevada
was another, I regret I didn't get the third guys name. There
was a fourth backup boat that was a friend of ours from
Phoenix. My boat was #24.

The day before the shoot we got to go on a dry run with the
stunt drivers. My boat was driven by Mike Massa, the guy
that drove the boat in the movie "Italian Job". These guys
really did some close quarters boating, I swear our bow nearly
touched the transom of the boat ahead several times and vice versa. Doing other stuff like running side by side so close you
could reach out and touch the other boat.

Perhaps my most exciting moment was running side by side
(about 50 mph). Other boat just off to our left. And we suddenly turn sharp left! Then as a sidenote, just as we
roll out of the turn a Cigarette (not associated or connected
with any of us) just happens along (not close or dangerous
but still a surprise). He probably thinks he witnessed a near
collision to this day. Those stunt drivers are so awesome.
A testament to their ability is that if it had been anyone
else I would have been scared ****less, but I truly enjoyed it.
(It's amazing what professionals can do to make you feel
comfortable, such as the time I had the opportunity to go
for a ride in SCORE off-road Trophy Truck)

Again, thanks for putting this together, I'm grateful to have
participated in it.

If anyone can get a line on when these will air, please pass
it along.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

I will call the production company and try to get on air dates.

Thanks for your contribution to the project.

Re: NORDIC and NASCAR
 

I screwed up, my boat was actually 48.

The only one with a folded down
antenna along the drivers side.
