FBody383 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 What a drag; bits in the trailer weren't in the episode... Crazy amounts of contact... cone-chaser up front, Defcon 1 pucker factor for being mouthy... All it needs now is more racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mberglo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Don't know if it was mentioned, but Mike Skeen (Geico) is a NASA-SE E30 driver. We're rooting for him. I was shocked when it looked like he was going home for losing the sprint to Jr. It's a fun show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it needs now is more racing. x2, but they did do right by letting the cute chick hang around the garage. Maybe if she puts on a pair of boy shorts like the other two pit hotties, she wouldn't be so annoying! As for the "showdown" race...I would lined up and hit him before the flag even dropped! Only reason he is so fast is that he is running like a scared rabbit! Put him in traffic off the "perfect" line and he will crumble like dried noodles! After all the contact I am convinced there are only about 4 or 5 guys who can really drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Racing Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 they did do right by letting the cute chick hang around the garage. Maybe if she puts on a pair of boy shorts like the other two pit hotties, she wouldn't be so annoying! I'm sure you'll find this "annoying", but allow me to be the first to say out loud that this little comment is incredibly sexist and inappropriate. After all the contact I am convinced there are only about 4 or 5 guys who can really drive... After watching the first few shows, I'm convinced that driving ability was not the number one priority when it came to casting this show. That doesn't surprise me, but what does is the fact that I don't feel they've even really shown the guys' personalities in any detail either. If I didn't already know a few of them, I wouldn't be able to tell any of the drivers apart at this point. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBody383 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Put him in traffic off the "perfect" line and he will crumble like dried noodles! Maybe tonight they'll have another inverted start and Jr. can come through the pack. I'm of the opinion that, as of the last episode, Jr. is a better road racer than Dietz who seems to be leaning on a lot of folks and got a reminder speech from TK. Jr. seemed to have good awareness and left racing room on the oval. I still want to see the NASA AI/CMC guys at the top when it's done.

swhiteh3 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear that Ernesto. Congrats on making it that far!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Roco Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Todd/Scott, Thanks for the kind words. I really gave it a good try but it was not meant to be. When the car started to fishtail there was nothing I can do to recover. I just want to publicly thank my good friend Troy for coming out there to support me and watching my back. See you both at the track soon. Ernesto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pederb Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ernesto, You gave it a good try, remember its a freaking TV show, not real racing. BW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onralz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ernesto, just watched the show last night. It's a shame that you went out, but certainly don't hang your head low. Man, it had to be awesome just to be there. Hell, it would have been worth it to me just to hang out with Tommy Kendall. He's one of my personal hero's. Seriously, you did well. You handled yourself professionally, you showed skill, and you represented NASA with pride. I'm proud to say I race with you. See you at Nat's! Same goes for you Brady, hang in there!
