Sergei, Any Info on the Whipmaker for Indy IV?

Post by Whipcrack »

Sergei, I last asked you in August, since then summer is gone and winter is almost here. Any more info available on the whips for Indy IV?

When I last asked you Armstrong was all but confirmed as stunt coordinator, Randall Jr. was out and Green was the leading candidate for whip guy. The outcome of this will determine who makes the whips.

Production takes place in 2004, 2004 is almost here. Help me Sergei, I know we are getting close. What do you hear?

Just to remind you I support you as Whip Coordinator for Indy IV and will represent you as personal agent for 25% of your fee and a credit at the end…………………, or whatever I can get………

Thanks Kid

I started whipping after I saw Raiders. The Morgan whips I have are quality snappers as are my Stenhouse and the Strain whips.

To me there is an added enjoyment knowing Morgan made the whips used in the movies that is worth the extra price. I don’t care if the handle is a little shorter of if I use a 6 or an 8 more than the more screen accurate 10.

If Jacka makes the Indy IV whips I would probably get one for the same reason.

Are you out there Sergei? Tell us what you know.

No update right now. But you are right, there should be some activity starting if production is planned for the summer 2004. I need to make some calls.
