1) He knows more about cars than Oprah.
2) I hate T.V.
3) I'd rather watch PINKS, Superbikes, Pass Time etc than Oprah (altho I've never watched more than 10 seconds of Oprah)
4) He has enough consultants, Live on the show that make up for what you consider his drag car racing 'ignorance', and he'll always ask someone that does know.
5) Personally, I think Nate and his brother are "tools", but I've never met either of them.
6) I agree that many of 'his' rules are stupid - however both entrants take the plundge, fully aware, and have read all the disclosures, prior to putting their "Pink Slips" on the line.
7) Making a fool of himself on "every episode" could simply be edited out - they choose not to - ever wonder why?
E8ht) When he let the GSX-R 1K get away from him - do you really think they needed to leave that in TV program - and the short bit with him in the 'road hospital' getting bandaid put on his arm? Easy to edit out, too easy.
9) If he actually gave a race away, after his 'tough guy' talk, I must have missed that episode. I've seen most, and only heard him make threats.
10) Arm dropping, and staging without lights is just wrong, but again, those that choose to put up their slips don't have a gun to their head.
11) The best show Speed Net ever had was dropped, (IMO) 2 wheel Tuesday. I used to make sure I had no plans when it came on.
12) If he were to get a "real host", I think he'd have to search in the Drag Racing spectrum.
13) Would Don Garlits work for what Rich C is making? How about Darrel Gwynn? (he was the 1st guy that came to my mind when I first watched the show, due to Rich C's lack of experience) Maybe he could get John Force, or his daughter for a couple million an episode? Too bad Howard Kosell isn't still around - he'd do a good job.
14) Rich C's productions are all about making money - low budget - decent programming (IMO) and nobody loses an eye.
15) I'm gonna watch Pinks now....LOL.
I hope I'm not on a road trip when they hit Cayuga this year. Missed it in '08, and yes, I wanna make a pass or 2, even with that rediculous arm drop bull ****.
Re: Calling All DRAG RACERS!!
I actually spent time speaking with Rich at tmp last year as i was one of the people who raced my bike.Hes not a bad guy and HE DOES know alot about cars now although he openly admits he didnt know much in the begining..It was just a passion of his and he took it as an opportunity to make it more of a family event and i think he did an AWESOME job!! The turn out at tmp last yr was outstanding and EVERYONE got along and had a blast!! Win or lose what an expierance.
Although when i asked him..."So rich do u feel you were outperformed by the GSXR? He really didnt like that..lol..and told me he broke his wrist in that ordeal..so a band aid may be what he recieved on teh show but after wards it was a cast!
Ill be there again this year..was a blast!
Although not as good as a track day there!!

Congrats on the final 8!! I wanted to be there sooo bad. (we left for the Gap the day it started)
What sent you home?
Are you registered for this yr?
I've been going to test & tune since they started it back up. 5.0L and bikes.
I used to race there before they closed the place. I've never seen a bike and car go at the same time.
We even begged the dudes at the Xmas tree - my buddies Buick, and one of my old bikes ran identical times - we wanted to go heads up - didn't happen.
I REALLY hope I'm in town this year when it's on.

Re: Calling All DRAG RACERS!!
That Rich idiot may know something about cars but he knows squat about drag racing.
They advertise that shoot out with a 11.3 cut off. It was 11.8 or 11.9 by the time we started racing.
They advertise "Fastest car take all" purse... then told the fastest 10 cars to put them on the trailer.
What is with that MAGIC dialin? That's what got us. Still haven't figured that one out.
It might make for good television but it makes for lousy racing,
We'll be there again this year.

uhm WTF is up with the bike riding skills...reving the motor and dropping the clutch with high rpm's while trying to turn the bike...hmm how will that turn out. I was looking for oil patch or something to give him the benefit of the doubt, but if you watch the video and listen to the motor...
He got lucky, he could have been hurt badly. Pretty STUPID of him appearing on a family show (his show) and to be on a bike with no head protection.
I bame the GSXR. Let's send McGuinty and Cam Wooley and Fantino a request to ban Suzuki GSXR bikes from tracks because they are dangerous items.:D

Bikes, sleds and shifter karts will race in a separate class, not against cars.
