The East Coast and Midwest represented at the 2010 Checkpoint Cup
We had a chance to film the East Coast and Midwest legends, John Gorski and Howie Ursaner, as they shared their recent wins and experiences at the 2010 Checkpoint Cup. These guys are true showman and are ready for Hollywood! Thanks, guys; you both rock!
Check out the performance:
John Gorski & Howie Ursaner at the 2010 Checkpoint Cup
(Note, the video is a low resolution version for quicker online viewing.)
The upcoming DVD we are making will include additional John Gorski interviews where he talks about his favorite moments of slot racing's Golden Years.
I'll be uploading additional video clips soon.

The medicos tell me there is no cure for it, like herpes.
Do you know this one?
What's the difference between herpes and true love?
