So did you look the car over better once you got it? Was the other guy actually running a 50 shot? What all else did he have?

Cool, I happened to catch the show and wondered if either of the two guys were on the boards. Kind of a cool idea for a show, but it could be done alot better. Not that I am a production specialist and have any ideas. I guess personally I would like to see a little more of each car, like a viewer at home preview where the owners show their stuff. The other competitor's would not get the same view, so it would make the negotiation part a little more fun to watch since you would know if the guy was hiding anything.

Also, on the last run, it looked like the guy in the formula cut the worst R/T of all time. If they are gonna do it at a track, why not just run from the lights and stagger the tree instead of negotiating car links. I dunno, but grats to the winners at Straightline, you guys get your car back together after that last run?
