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)

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 on the lowest common denominator way the show was edited/produced.

As for the Solstice being fragile....I dunno....don't have enough data to make a call on that....most of the "drivers" on the show used their car as a battering ram.....so what do you expect???

Mike got what he deserved.....he made a jackass move.....he lost his shot...dunno...

The best parts were Mike telling "Tommy fuckin Kendall" that he shouldn't tell him about rough driving.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

And the biggest moron Scott getting told "you are done" and "get out of here" while he ran alongside the winner while doing donuts....only better finish would have been Scott getting tagged and sent to the hospital (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)
