Awesome show!!!

2 Things that really blew my mind:

1 - That road is 90 miles long with no houses..
2 - 11 Mile straight stretch at over 200 mph..

You guys rock!!!!!
Look forward to episode 2!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show! Much better production than most car shows. It comes off as a documentary, not at all like a typical car show.

I will be very disappointed when the season is over & hope you make more of these.

RJ, you are one bad hombre. Not sure how you get your cojones under the submarine strap!

Big Red is ingrained into me since I was 17 when it set the world on fire at Silver State. To this day the original car is still my favorite of all 69 Camaros.

I couldn't agree more. Great show. The rumple strip on the center divide sure adds a new level of complexity!

Default Loved it!!!

The first time I saw Big Red in Hot Rod magazine I was hooked. Loved the fact that the "supercars" of the late 1980's had their doors blown off by a young racer in a bad ass 1969 Camaro with a crazy fast engine and the ability to use them as they were designed, to go wicked fast. Unlimited fast. Typical, they changed the rules of the race after RJ and Big Red embarrassed them.

I'm so amazed that a car that was a pathfinder of the sport known as "Pro Touring" is still spanking and putting the hurt on cars that have been give the title "supercars" 30 years later.

RJ, you are the MAN!!
Big Red, it is the MACHINE!!

Race On!!

Can't wait for next week's episode

Neil B, Thanks for your support. Everyone who has watched the show is counted by the cable providers...even if you've recorded it on a DVR. All those numbers help us get ratings for a possible second season.

The rumble strip makes quite a racket in the car at high speed. You want as little as possible, so staying centered was important when we could.

Musclerodz, Thanks! Big Red as it sits today is still my favorite. It gets swapped around to different setups for different events, but it's still the same underneath.

Bill,

The more people who watch the show and DVR it, helps us get our numbers up. If it gets enough attention, we'll give it a shot at a second season.

That submarine belt does bunch up a little. I think Joe Pettit (navigator in the Silver State Classic Challenges) has even bigger "ones," since he doesn't even have control of the car!

Thanks for enjoying our take on what real TV should be!

RJ
