[V8TV]

Hey Shane,

Yes, the current episode is a departure from what we normally do - and there's a story behind it.

I guess it would have been in infomercial if we did generate revenue for it, but that was not the case. After airing 54 episodes of the show, Nick Scavo and I had a conversation about the importance of having a dialed-in race trailer as a part of a winning strategy. So we decided to shoot a trailer makeover with a shop tour feature and see how it was received. We get lots of email from people wanting to see how stuff is made, kind of like they do on the Made In America show and the like. So we tried it. We didn't gain anything from it, but it apparently appears that we did. Your comments are noted.

Some of the other elements like the techniques of polishing aluminum at Rad Rides with Tap Magic were also straight editorial, we didn't receive anything from Tap Magic beyond a couple free samples. We did show some other new parts like the Holley DVD and the MSD e-curve distributor, which I think are both cool items.

The next episode returns to the more traditional V8TV format; in fact, it's a wrap-up on the Royal Sport project from start to finish. I'd welcome comments to that one as well.

Thanks for watching the show and taking the time to let us know what you think. After all, we're airing this for enthusiasts like you, and we'd prefer you enjoy the show.
