Any of you SoCal guys catching the show on Speed? I'm watching right now. Aaron Bitterman from SV and Jeremy Croiset from Redline are competing on the show. Should be interesting.

Wow, Bitterman was kicked off the show for not having a crew chief available on day 1.

I caught a few minutes of it but didn't catch Aaron or Jeremy. Whats it all about anyway? All I saw were a buch of yellow Solsti (thats plural for Solstice) and some crazy Jesse James dude getting sponsored by Sobe.

I'm not sure yet what to think of the show. It almost seems too flashy, or too produced, but the next episode will really tell that. This last one was all about introductions.

I really hope that young punk Ryan gets booted... him and his father are WAYYYY too arrogant.

That other dude, Ryan, is a big boy... I'm not sure how he fits into that car. I'm not even as big as him and I think I'd have trouble. Props to him for tryin though.

And that guy who's crew chief didn't show and got booted... I woulda thrown down right then and there and kicked my crew chief's *** if I got booted cuz he wasn't there... that's unexcusable.

i'll bump this cause i actually just watched an episode for the first time.

all i have to say is WTF.

they have all the makings to make it an awesome show, and they come up with some of the lameist (sp?) rules and "official views".

If its racing, it's racing. If it's racing by GT Rules, then thats how it is (penalty for avoidable contact, normally spins only) , but to pick and choose with the rule choices like they do, man, makes a great show 100% lame.

Congratulations to Jeremy Croiset, chief driving instructor of Redline Track Events, who was the victor. Special mention to Aaron Bitterman, owner/operator of Speed Ventures, for getting booted off almost before the show started, because his "crew" Emilio Cervantes (instructor for SV) was late. lol

Actually, I have never seen an epsiode, but it sure sounded like a good idea.

Jeremy was at the Rolex Mid Ohio race. Looks like he will get his chance to start testing the Pontiac GXP-R, and hopefully get a seat for the 2008 season.

I was at the Redline event at the Willow Springs big track last weekend while Jeremy was at Mid-Ohio. Chris swears Jeremy will still be instructing for Redline, but I dunno, $100,000 and a gig testing a manufacturer's race cars could go to a guy's head. lol
