I participated at the event at Gateway. I was a little disappointed on Saturday with the speed stop & autocross, mainly because of the run groups. I was split up from some of my friends & unable to watch them run. We normally work together to improve each others times. It would also be nice to be able to ride with other competitors on the autocross. This is a grate help when you are learning to drive. Sunday on the road course was some of the most fun I have had with my car in the 21 years I have owned it. The instructors were great. People that have cars & don't bring them out are missing a great opportunity. It is amazing how much you can learn from the first session to the last.
As far as the TV show. Who does not want their car on TV? Nearly everyone will have friends & family that will watch the show because they were a participant. That can only be good for the sponsors. I hope the series & the show are a success. If it is a big commercial I don't think they will be watch long.
