The show came out great. It was a riot to watch and was well done. All the guys on camera were polished just enough to look sharp without being over the top.

I'd buy a DVD too! I hope they're available from somewhere soon.

I too - agree with David... no 'event' will ever be perfect. Having said that - I can't imagine ANYONE that participated that wouldn't do it again in a heartbeat... Well... maybe Kinnan... :rofl:

He made it to turn 1 -- I'd have crashed on the straight....

I wouldn't be surprised if Kinnan comes back next year stronger than ever...

Nick.... I would hope so!!

Not like I've never driven off track before... getting the chance to do it again -- priceless!

Really - that event was such a hoot! Can't imagine anyone not wanting to participate.

Yea, that was just a mistake on his part (and we all make them).. he's really a pretty good driver from what I've heard.. and a nice guy. He was just unfortunate enough to have his mistake at a televised event.

And now he has something to prove and a year to sort out the car.

I shouldn't have even mentioned it -- I was just trying to be "funny" -- and I know that it really wasn't/isn't (the actual event).

I've driven that track myself... and while I didn't go rock hunting there - it's real easy to do - with cold tires - and a hot foot... and even the "pros" will find a rock now and then.

I'm still pretty sure the rocks and dirt out there are radioactive. It sticks to your car like glue!
