Obviously seeing Kermit out there was awesome, but gosh could there have been any more commercial breaks? And who else wanted a little less out of the mouth of Tracy? Jeez man you're racing cars for fun, not about to step in the cage for a UFC fight.

Was the comment about the "dent" just a hook to keep people watching??

Loved the show. Congrats!

Thanks Kelvin!

1) TV production is both expensive and tricky. It was so awesome live and so much of the fun didn't make it into the final show but I think they really did do a great job having been there.
2) The US Airforce. Wow... Just wow. Those guys are like clockwork and also real gear heads. Love those guys.
3) I'm super-jazzed that we got a best of 174.9mph in the mile. They did a few different runs but either way a stock GTR does around 165mph so at least we know we're making power. The car isn't aerodynamic but that's a good result.
4) Super happy that on the track section we were about 4-5 seconds quicker.
5) Paul Tracy is a hoot. Amazing driver and means what he says. No joke. Tanner is super-competitive too (as is Paul) and they really were trying to win it for each car. It was funny watching them try to ask the producers for another go and stuff like that....
6) The F-430 is fast in stock form (480plus). It's bloody quick when modified to 510 or so like it was and with the F1 trans and Paul's driving we were up against it. But the 3.9 does make power as one can see

I checked the schedule and if folks did miss it, the show's on a couple more times either side of the F1 stuff.

Thanks and yes commercials are king on TV... Watching a Raiders game is painful because a) they suck and b) the commercials... Those guys were _very_ competitive and no joke they really wanted to win for each car. Paul doesn't mess around I was surprised myself but at least by dinner-time on day two when it was all over the driver's had both mellowed and relaxed

I think with more heat in the tires in the front etc... Tanner and Paul were always asking the producers for another go it was funny Paul then deep-staged on the top speed run... Both those guys were really going at it. Fun to watch and racers eh?

It was awsome seeing the cars go at it! Tanner did mention the brakes on Kermit. What pads were being used with the CC rotors?

Thanks man! Actually once the tires in front had some heat in them it was a different ball game for the road course But the F-car brakes are massive....

He put more of a scratch on the Ferrari rather than a dent and PT roasted those Hankooks on 430 (nope no Michellins)....the sidewalls flexed too much...hehehe
