Not sure if you guys caught the premiere of "Setup"...the new reality show on Speed tonight. I was particularly interested for the following reasons:

1) 10 stock convertibles (even if they were GM Solctices)
2) All cars as delivered from the factory
3) Each driver must obtain sponsorship based upon their image & ability
4) Each driver can tweak each car to his/her advantage within the rules.
5) "Jeremy"...NASA employee...participant/competitor...and for those Texas racers who were at M-O a week before the racing started, Jeremy rode along with us on a truck/track excursion to scope out the track landscape. "Gopher??? Beaver???" I don't know....but Jeremy was there with us drinkin' canned beer and now vying for a national championship on the TV show....Setup.

Worth watching.

My wife who is NOT motorsports inclined even watcthed the whole show after DVR versions of "American Idol" and other elimination shows.

It has all the drama and tension of primetime television AND AI/CMC Texas!!!

(Jeremy's got more promise than "Sanjaya".)
