Yeah, and instead of showing Bernie's mug during his lonnnng interview, they should've showed his pit girls!

Also, I'd have liked to see more driving and less hearing what everyone does for a living. With a half-hour show, they should've....ah, heck, at least they showed a club race on TV. That's better than nothing, right?

I agree with everything you said... There was way too much talking and not enough actual race coverage.

But yea, atleast we got to see something.

Why did they allow two 360gt's in the race?

Because they knew they couldn't win, unless they were Prodrive team cars?

You guys are harsh. My wife and I thought it was great.

Ok, only 30 minutes but come on - it's a CLUB race! Can you think of other club racing that gets or warrants TV time? What do you want 4 hours of live coverage on prime time TV?

Jeezz... you should be praising Speed for covering something that is done for passion of the sport not for money. I for one have emailed and thanked them for their coverage.

As for showing more of the racing - it was a 4 hour event, you're never going to get coverage that can tell you a comprehensive story in 22 minutes of screen time. I thought the human interest stories were good and maybe I'm biased because I know many of these people but I liked the "what do you do for a living" part. It was all of 30 seconds.

If I had a gripe I would say they spent too much time on the Ferrari (this is the PORSCHE Owners Club!) but I figure they were trying to play up the rivalry. Whatever.

Overall it was a great program - you guys need to lighten up.

Point well made... They said it's the only club race with TV coverage... So we do have something to be happy about!
