You are trying so hard to put Lou, Louis and the LGM crew in a negative light when it's just sour grapes.

Hey Mr. B, I am still the youngest driver to ever enter a SPEED World Challenge race, at 16 back in 99.
I dont have to be a driver, I have a father who fills those shoes quite well. I take care of him and his racing efforts. Maybe when he hangs up his helmet I might consider the driving aspect of racing, but it is not what I have been brought up being.
If you want a world class, world renowned sportscar built, Im your huckleberry. If you want some aluminum cans or razor blades welded together, Im your man. Im perfectly happy not being in the drivers seat. Quite frankly, I dont really have to even answer this post because it brings me to your level of stupidity, and then you will probably beat me with experience.
Regardless, Im staring at a SPEED World Challenge Zimmerman Cup, awarded to the best crew chief of the year. I wonder if Jace has any of those hidden anywhere... Hrm....
At any rate, we had no control over what the kid did with the car. Missing gears, over slipping the clutch, bumping the limiter, ect. These are not things that can be taken lightly, and obviously, they can affect quite a bit of things as Im sure you are well aware of.
Life is no dress rehersal, see you at the races

6600 rpm clutch dump of death Administrator
I've raced with Lou several times. The one thing I can say is that while we sometimes may differ on how we approach certain technical topics, I would never ever consider questioning Lou's driving ability. Lou has certainly proved his ability out on the track. I know very well the competitive streak Lou has.
I watched the show a few times, and I saw the issues Lou had with Jace. Fact of the matter from my perspective is that Jace was a bit too full of himself, and wasn't listening to somone who races Corvettes from a living. It wouldn't have mattered if it was Lou, John Heinricy, or any of the other accomplished racers out there. I think Jace thought he had the world figured out, and just tuned everyone out. He thought Lou wasn't giving him the proper respect. In reality it was the other way around. If I had a Champion like Lou giving me driving lessons, I think I'd shut up and listen. I learned a long time ago that there is far more that I don't know than I do know...
I don'ty know how Lou would have liked it, but I would have loved to have seen Angela Cope drive the Corvette for Lou. I think she might have listened more, and I think based on watching her performances that she'd have beat the guys behind the wheel of the LG car solidly. She is a Late Model/ARCA driver, and obviously she gave a good showing.
Jace is supposed to be an accomplished Late Model driver, and a Kart racer. Why can't he shift a normal car then? Did they put an automatic in his Late Model? He acted like he had never been on a track, or gone over 20 mph most of the time.
Honestly Lou was the comic relief in the show that I enjoyed most.
"You've never done donuts before?" "You want smoke, I'll give you smoke" To me, Lous was the hiot of the show, but I guess like they say everyone has opinions...

Jeff,
If you looked at the distance that the camera shot came from on the One time that I scolded jace, you will notice that it was very far away from the camera man.
I did my best to pull him aside to talk to him and they sculked around to "steal" the shot and had a long distance mic.
I never wanted to talk to the kid on camera since I was not there to embarrass him.
Then they pulled us in for a dual interview and asked some pretty provocative questions where the answers had to lend themselves to appear worse than they were.
And you know that over 11 days, there was much more working together than not. But they filmed what they wanted to and they cut what they wanted to.
Would I hang out with jace and his father for fun? No, but that was not our mission.
No, jace did not always listen since that was my big gripe but overall he still pulled out 4 wins, 2 seconds, one 4th and one 5th, and that was not enough to take the money because the skewed points for one last race.
We were either 1st or 2nd in 6 out of 8 events. That probably says it all.
Thanks
Lou G

Damn this has more Drama in it then the show did. I personally liked the show. I consider Lou doing his job by trying to get the kid to do his job in the car. It's about winning to Lou just like it would of been to all of us if we had been on the show. I'd watch it again. On a side note ole Pope lives rigth down the road from me (somewhere lol) I had to root on the local.
