AI and CMC drivers in Speed's SETUP Season 2!!!

[Todd Covini]

Set your DVR's.
CMC's own Brady Flaherty from California (5th at Nats) will compete along with a TBN AI driver (most likely from California).
Should be fun to watch one of our own kickin' butt again!!!

Premiere was on tonight.
I absolutely love this show and this season is even better.
Tommy Kendall is my hero.
Boris Said is the man.
I knew Brady Flaherty of CMC fame when he was a mere mortal gigolo...now look at him.
Pat Stone from CMC-2...lookin' cool...make us proud, man, make us proud!
Ernesto Rocco...not a lot of facetime, but Ernesto's bringin' the AI camp!
Meyer of Evo & NASA fame was in there as well.
Piquet...I'm watching the whole season just waiting for him to say "I will git you Rickee-Bobby."

Quality television programming for sure.

I haven't seen it yet... I did Tivo last night.

But Mitch, Glenn and I all know Jordan on this years show.

He has raced some Spec Miata, but did real well karting.

[Adam Ginsberg]

Boris Said is Sofa King Cool.

Interesting that they did the initial "weeding out" using karts, and they are using the "team" method this season.

Good show - a bit heavy on the artsy-camera thing, IMO, but still good nonetheless. It's cool to see BF, PS and ER on the tube, bring'n the NASA wood to the rest of the world.

[GlennCMC70]

[Todd Covini]

Gosh, I love this show. 8)

I've spent the last 18yrs of my career in TV.
Self-inflicted-high-drama-reality TV is the worst in my eyes for my VALUABLE TV watching time.
I work for FOX gaddamn it!
Oprah or Jerry Springer meets the new Rich Christensen (TK).
Only the brunette from last year kept me tuned in then.
10 minutes of racing per 1hr episode isn't enough for me.
Even DVR'd, I can't take it. My thumb aches from hitting the yellow 30sec fwd button.
Please, someone summerize each episode into 100 words or less. Or point me to a thread that does.

The hot blonde is gone :( , the nerdly little guy is gone (spun twice in one race), they don't get all the upgrades before the series started, same lame races, one guy wants to start fights in the parking lot and TK cracked off a good line from Talladega nights. I laughed and hit the power off button.

[ShadowBolt]

It sucked last year and it looks like it's going to suck again this year.

Maybe if you know some of the contestants........maybe.

Does yellow mean stop?

When did we get the green?

[GlennCMC70]

the flag confusion is a big problem. it looks like there is a problem on both sides though.

Yeah, looks like Speed is catering to the Nascar fan to fill the gaps between other 100 hours per week of programming cover a 2 hour race event.

It would be awesome if they would just go ahead and make a Nascar channel and bring back the speed of old with things like "two wheel Tuesday".."wings and water Wednesday" and full coverage of the WRC, SCCA series, runoffs, Australian V8 series, karts, SCORE, drag racing and the like.... :cry:

I have a mancrush on Tommy Kendall.
Anyone know of any Pontiac Solstices for sale?

The problem is requiring the switch to another provider. I will NEVER leave my fios and if I move, I will only move where Fios is available... If they can work that out, I'm in!

[jeffburch]

Avis rents them.
Are you renting a car for MSRC or will you be back on your horse?

jb

[Todd Covini]

I'll be back on my horse.
I was just kidding about the Solstice.
Al gives me a hard time and says that show is nothing but a 30 min. infomercial for GM and the other parts players.

Did Matt really need to start a new thread on the show? :lol:

Last nite....NASA drivers took a 1-2 finish!
Congrats to our very own CMC driver Brady Flaherty...(man, can that guy watch his mirrors! :lol: )

AIX Ernesto Rocco went home in a sad, sad way. I truly felt bad for him. 1 NASA team down.....2 still goin' strong.

Does this mean that one can infer that Spec E30 drivers are better than CMC drivers who are better than AI drivers??? :wink:

I guess the Spec E30 is likely a closer platform than Ernesto's rocketship.

[michaelmosty]

Who is the NASA E30 driver? I didn't know there was a third.

[jeffburch]

Mike Skeen.
Read about him on the S.E. forum.
Also mikeskeen.com

p.s.
his Great Pumkin Run vid has me in it ;)

Mike Skeen? Chris?

Ernesto is so used to a car glued to the track with Hoosiers and downforce, he couldn't adjust to the stockish solstice on street tires. Brady ain't fast but he did a hell of a job holding off that guy in 3rd!

Jordon also seems to be doing really well.

Going to be an interesting last show!!!

[Todd Covini]

Geico driver...not trying to be funny, but he kinda looks like the Gecko!

Could this be the start of a new Company spokesman/mascot!?!?!

Stay tuned, bat-fans....

[Todd Covini]

Who is the NASA E30 driver? I didn't know there was a third.

There's actually a bunch of NASA guys on Setup...just not all of them driving.

One of Ernesto's crewchiefs, Paul Robie (the one who "didn't know about the brake mods done", was at Nationals and is pretty well known in the Evo world.
