Well, talk about "Welcome to last week !".......
I started watching the show Set Up on Speed and low and behold saw where the autocross community is being represented by Mike this season .......and, if I heard them correctly, has won 2 out of 3 of the events he has been in thus far. Even better; Mike won this particular race I was watching and a crew chief of another driver boasted that if his driver would have had a few more laps that he could have easily taken Mike ~ the hosts asked Mike if he felt that would have been the case and he confidently said "no". More words were said and before you know it the hosts had just these two boys on the track to race ~ telling the other guy that if he couldn't beat Mike that he would be out. Long story short; Mike won, the other guy wasn't kicked off but his crew chief was besically told to not to be so arrogant, as it could cost his driver next time Congratz to Mike !

After I got over Scott being himself during the early part of the show, I started to enjoy it! I think the show would be better if rules were not made up as they went along though, especially by a Hollywood guy!
I'm rooting for Mr. Second Chance Geico guy! I think he is a class act with talent. |

I think he is a class act with talent. I STILL can't get over the guy....although he seems to be on camera less lately. His pious rulings during the race and after the race random rulings are getting stupider and stupider.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) Still can't figure out what is going on track with the quick cut ins and cut outs. It has been a BIT better, but still a crappily produced show..... I am SURE that there was plenty of footage, and action, that would make for a great show, he just fucked it up with his presence, stupid rules, and "artsy" editing...
