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 ! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

"We" (on this site) are generally more racing savvy than the average public. Jamie serves a purpose on the show - to ask all the questions wives would if they didn't think we wouldn't think they were stupid for asking.

And Mike (while a good driver) got what he deserved. Using "rubbin's racinn" is a lame excuse from someone who's never been w2w. 50 feet of locked up brakes THEN a hit? Bad place, bad time, bad move.

Though I suppose I would be surprised about how much one can pick up by watching ESPN.

I agree....I know there are a lot of Mike's fans/buddies/nuthuggers on here, and no doubt he is a good driver, but that move he got punted for was S.T.O.O.P.I.D.....THERE WAS NO WAY THAT MOVE WAS GOING TO WORK/STICK. That was a MORONIC move! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Now I agree the freakin rule changes by the minute were annoying, and giving the car to the other driver was a melodramatic TV ploy at best....it wouldn't have mattered in any case....he would have been DQ'd in any self respecting racing series know to man!

....to top it off his cavalier attitude that "rubbin's racing" was just stupid...he would have had my nose right up against his nose with that attitude... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
