they don't have any of the episodes online anywhere. Wish they would.

Most they have the 2nd video in the 1st post of this thread.

2 of the 3 podium spots were evo's. Unfortunately it was only the 2 and 3 spot.

It was a very strong showing for the RS motors crew. If the RS EVO's were not involved, Danny Popp's Covette would have had very little competition this year.

Results here:

Nice work! Very impressive stuff.

I found some impressive in-car video from Danny Popp's car:
That car looks like a handful.

Danny's vette is king on the road course. He's got it dialed in and gobs of HP to go with it. it'll take a serious evo to keep up on the Road course.

But we knew that. We knew we had to win it on Saturday and just "keep up" on Sunday. Unfortunately we just missed it. I wont spoil the show, but it was very close.

Finally Watched the finale nice job.

Only part I don't like about the series is the design portion as it seems way to subjective.

Yes. Somehow the sponsors car wins?

How was your points in this event as opposed to Danny's?
