I did this one with new software.
Better effects and able to add in live video.
Awhile back I did a Brooke Tatnell Video.
I would like to do that one over and hopefully do a better job.
Also add some live video to it.
I feel I owe it to Brooke to do the best I can.
Any way roll it with Travis.

I'm kinda having a problem wrapping my mind around this cerebral assassin thing with the skulls and tribal art. Not exactly the impression anyone would get when they meet Travis. Family man, business owner, racing a part time schedule and just an all around nice guy with a wonderful family. I'm not sure where that nickname came from but I can enjoy Sprint Car racing without the WWE hype. I grew up in an error when a racing shirt only had an STP logo so all this hype to interest people with short attention spans leaves me dazed and confused.

Ah it's all in fun, We have seen Travis out think his competition many a time.
So that is where my brother got the name.
We just wish he could get more racing in.
But we understand his work and family.
And yes Stan he is NOT one of the nicest guy's out there.
He is the NICEST driver at the track period!

Good job on the slide shows and I'm not faulting your brother for coming up with that name Rick. Just that there's a disconnect with a badass image in regards to Travis. Matter of fact that's pretty much true of all the drivers I have gotten to know in my lifetime. With few exceptions they're some of the hardest working family oriented high class people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. All that media hype doesn't fit any of them.

Nothing personal, this sis a cool thing but maybe you can give some background as to where Travis races and such. I am an avid sprint car fan and i have never heard of him so i am sure there are other people on here who would like to know a little more? Thanks

Travis is a Two time IRA Champ.
Ran with the WoO in "99" I beleive.
He now runs a limited number of races
With his family business and family, and just time and expense of racing we don't get to see him as often as we would like.
When he get's in the car he can still get er done!
He teemed up with the no. 16 car for some shows this year, and had some good success in that car!!
Maybe it will work out for him to get some more run's in that car next year along with the good old no.(9) at some shows.
As far as the Cerebral Assassin thing go's that just a name myself and two brothers came up with. We have seen him many a time find the rubber first late in the race and just go!
I think Stan misses the point. the photo video I put up is to highlite Travis and his car. Not the Cerebral Assassin thing.
It's also to show the enjoyment we have gotten from watching him race, and all the guy's in the IRA. They put on a great show that we realy appreiate!

Travis was also the 97' Wissota national champion and he has a couple of quick times with the WoO as well. He won the "C" scramble at Knoxville one year, I want to say that was in 99' but I'm not sure. Hell of an auto mechanic too. Fixed my wife's leaky Mitsubishi and saved my new garage floor!

I just don't see the connection.
Cerebral may refer to:
Cerebrum, part of the vertebrate central nervous system.The word assassin is derived from the word Hashshashin (Arabic: ???????, also Hashishin, Hashashiyyin, or Assassins),[3] and shares its etymological roots with hashish (pronounced /hæ??i??/ or /?hæ?i??/; from Arabic: ???? ?ash?sh).[4] It referred to the Nizari branch of the Ism?'?l? Shia founded by the Persian Hassan a?-?abba? during the Middle Ages. They were active in the fortress of Alamut in Iran from the 8th to the 14th centuries, and also controlled the castle of Masyaf in Syria. The group killed members of the Muslim Abbasid, Seljuq, and Christian Crusader élite for political and religious reasons.[5] Although it is commonly believed that assassins were under the influence of hashish during their killings or during their indoctrination, there is debate whether these claims have merit.[6] The Hashshashin were eradicated by the Mongol Empire in 1275.
The earliest known literary use of the word assassination is in Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1605).[7][8]

When I first saw Travis run, probably 10 or 12 years ago, I always thought he would go far and we'd see him run nationally for a lot of years...
