SCCA on SPEED

Anyone else watching the E Production class on SPEED channel right now? FB's are running strong against the FC's and everything else LOL. An FB was in first with a Prelude in second but the Prelude just had a right rear tire/wheel issue that knocked him down.

EDIT: Tom Thrash won the race in his FB RX-7. Good race overall.

Yes I recorded it and just finished watching it. Great racing overall. Tom Thrash really had his FB loose. They said it was because his tires was shot to heck. He was laying down black rubber on every corner. Mazdatrix really represented too. I think Lemon took 3rd. I just wonder what size tires was the FB's running and brand of tire?

The blue RX3 was nasty, what a great race. I thought the prelude was going to pass the red and white FB for a while....

It was called SCCA Runoffs. Hahaha I felt left out LOL. We never used to get SPEED with our cable either until they reformated last year. When I get my own place I'm going to get Digital Cable so I can get BBC and watch Top Gear.

Ya what time and on what days does this show run so I can see if it fits into my free time between school and work? I also second or third or w/e, for someone to upload that episode if they have time

And yes top gear is freakin awesome and funny as hell too. But I have to watch all the episodes on youtube =/
