ummmm...
I think he's talking about the event they filmed there a couple months ago. I believe they picked 11 second cars.

This thread is about the event that was run back in April will be showing on the Speed channel on July 31st. The time bracket they picked was somewhere in the 11.40s range (I knew 2 guys that got picked, one ran 11.42 and one ran 11.48). One guy from our camp ran 11.52-53 three times and didn't get picked.

I guess the Jax crew needs to figure out where we are going to go to watch it. Wing House in Tinsle Town works. Plenty of tv's and plenty of room for everyone.

date looks pretty solid. My buddy that got down to the final 4 got a phone call from Pullin TV and they wanted to confirm his name and such for the show, and they said the same date.

Gotta grab a fresh tape

I have been telling everyone I know about this.
I know that Mark didn't make it to the final 16.
But his CETA was the only car there like it. So there has to be a shot of it on there some where. Or at least that hard launch he did on his last qualifing pass.
I don't know if we are going to stay home to watch. I'm thinking that because of the price
of gas, we might go up to our local Woody's
or Dick's Wings to watch it.

They showed a few clips of Gainesville at the beginning and ending footage of All Outtakes San Antonio last night. The Rollins Automotive black Camaro was in it for a few seconds

I plan on watching it even though I've seen my friend's runs from the video camera. It should be cool to watch.

Watched it. It was cool to hear the show, which you couldn't get from the stands. Would've liked to see more F-Bodies though.

I watched it, a little disappointed tho. Previous shows they showed more of the other cars, not this time.
I guess I have to wait for the out takes to come on.

Medwar11, there were bunches of F-Bodies there, they just didn't show all of them.

My brother just stopped by and he recorded it. He also said that he saw a glimps of Marks bird.

I watched it with a bunch of racer friends at a restaurant last night on their big screens. Didn't hear everything as a result, but I taped it so I'll check it out again tonight. I was on there three times with my friend that made the final four. Can't wait for the outtakes show on Wednesday.

Sitting on a 4 wheeler just past the e.t. shack waiting for him to come by so we could tow him back up to save the engine heat. There wasn't much time between runs, and I know that helped out a bunch. Bummer I wasn't in the circle with Jason, Kevin and Sean from Rollins.

That was the worst I have seen yet, NOBODY I new even got a glimpse on there, and I knew at least 40-50 people racing down there, but oh well. Maybe on the outtakes we'll see some other's rides.
