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 !

I have 3 observations/opinions to make after watching the final episode of Set Up. 1. If they MUST have a chick announcer, flagger, or what ever on the show, find one that understands a little about the sport. The on-the-job training got old. 2. Pontiac Solstices are rather fragile as road race cars. Or ay least the intercoolers are. 3. Mike was shafted.

I agree with all but number 3...althought the manner in which the rules are constantly changed are stupid on that show. I would also add that apparently the brakes on the Solstice must really suck. That final race was rediculous with all the yellow flags and restarts for the sake of TV drama. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |
