The On Board Series was a series we produced primarily in 2018 at the Stafford Motor Speedway and then a few more times in following years at Stafford, Thompson Speedway and New Smyrna Speedway in FL.
We utilized up to 9 cameras mounted on the race cars, including: rear bumper, front bumper, right side, left side, inside the cockpit, facing the driver and on the roof. Some of the biggest names in modified racing were profiled in this series, including Ryan Preece, Woody Pitkat, Ron Silk, Ronnie Williams, Rowan Pennink, Todd Owen and Mike Christopher Jr among others.
“We’ve kinda moved away from the On Board Series nowadays,” said producer/editor Sid DiMaggio. “Shawn Waddell was my right hand man on these productions and they were a lot of fun, but there were too many times when we loaded up a car with cameras and the story of the race didn’t involve the team we were working with. It’s a real bummer when you have a bunch of footage, but it’s not about what everyone was talking about after the race.” DiMaggio doubts they’ll do more OBS episodes. “The southern New England racing scene now has many amazing content creators like Fenceline Films and PRVL Creative who have become specialists in on-board camera footage genre, so the community is still getting this content and in good quality. I’m glad that our 25 episodes hold up pretty good during our time focusing on on-board camera footage.”
