Ladies and Gentleman,

Please note that a new TV comedy/ racing series is showing on Speed Channel Feb 23 and 25, 2013.

It is starring comedian John Reep ( That thing got a Hemi?) and I am fortunate to be in at least two of the episodes. Please show your support by watching it.

Also starring Kenny Wallace, John Snyder ( Dukes of Hazzard) and others. Keep an open mind, it’s silly satire but the racing is real for the most part. The premise is Redneck muscle cars road racing against younger racers in tuner/ foreign cars.

Many of the racers are SCCA/ NASA/ NASCAR and others. Support the show, support racing. The SCCA and NASA participants represented SCCA and NASA very well.

Cliff

My wife and I recorded and watched a couple of episodes; taken in the spirit intended, pretty funny stuff!

 

Goes best with beer. Got enough beer to last the season.

After watching a few episodes, I'd love to see these aholes get spanked by anything, even a LeMons rat.  Weight is usually their downfall.  The "track" seems like a short kart track with 5 corners, hardly a good road course challenge.

Haven't seen one yet, but I recorded the Sunday episode. Somehow I expect it will be absolutely horrible.

I watched this weekend's episode. It was on a par with the US version of Top Gear, which is a low standard, admittedly. The rules appear to be rigged to favor the rednecks, but maybe they deserve a break. After all, they are the sole remaining minority group (other than, perhaps, blondes) which political correctness does not protect from public ridicule. Anyway, I'll watch it again. It does involve racing and they film it at CMP. I have raced there myself and I can attest to the fact that rednecks are found in abundance locally. They make me feel right at home. Too bad the show uses the cut-through, thus avoiding the threat of the tire walls at the exit of Turn 3.

I've seen two so far - some brief shots of some miatas but these never seem to make it into main part of show. Monday night was a Nissan GTR and a BMW E46 M3. The M3 turned in at T1 and pinched the redneck and the redneck hit the M3 pretty hard. The M3 won but they actually showed the redneck slapping the M3 driver across the head while M3 driver still sitting in his car - i thought they would edit that out.

 

Jim - have your episodes already aired?

Yes, I believe so.. I think Carolina motorsports park and Kershaw are the same thing, never been there, but I believe that is right.

Not sure I can take another episode. I just want to see the one with Cliff already :)

Yup - only hanging in through the most annoying John Reep so that I can see my buddy Cliffie and just praying that he doesn't go full retard in this dreadful show.

 

Sorry but its worse than Springer, and doesnt have any naked boobies to redeem itself!

 

Cliffie - here's to hoping you look like a saint in this one!! :toast:

Great race. Just your luck.. You race the only care that is faster than the redneck car in a straight line. The guy in the other car was also a pretty good driver. The best race by far in that show and you did us proud!

Some pretty rigged match ups in that show.  In the episode 4 finale, the bimmer was giving up over 200/200 AND over 1000lbs?

 

I'm shocked at the head slap.  Risking assault charges doing that on camera.

Did they want to do a version of Pinks All Out Road Course style?

Everybody shows, does a few laps, largest group of closest best lap time get grouped.

They race.

Beat your best time get kicked out.

Winner of all races wins.

But I'm not sure how the redneck fits in. :scratchchin:

Is this show causing Speed to go away? :D

 

I'm sure Rolex and F1 will be around, If I can get V8 supercars I'll be good.
