      What a great show - I really enjoyed this latest one. The final race was the BEST yet! I couldn't believe how close they got a couple of times!!!

      How did that wagon dominate?? I'll admit that it was impressive, didn't even look like it was breaking a sweat, but come on! its a wagon! It seems like the muscle cars tend to spin out and go off track a lot. Could that be improved with suspension tuning or are they just overpowering the tires? I'd prefer to see the muscle cars win (especially Camaros) but maybe "cheat" and bring in a built Z06?

      I finally found time to watch the first two episodes last night. I did not see the latest.

      I love the show. I am not one to watch racing on TV, but this show is really fun to watch.

      I think Bill was just jealous when he saw Bo Duke having fun off roading.

      This show is a real blast. Even my wife who considers cars a necessary evil was watching intently!

      Keep it coming!

      There's a video on YouTube of a motorcycle flying down the road at some ungodly speed. A little less than a minute in it gets passed by an Audi...... WAGON!!! Some of them are nuts.

      That wagon was impressive, as was the door to door driving. That Audi driver has some real skill. I cannot believe how he was also able to pull so hard on the straights.

      Good show!

      The show is very entertaining. Jon Reap is funny in person too. I saw him last year do standup. Due to this show, my 5yr old now says "That thing got a hemi".

      That course kinda plays to a vehicle that is more balanced as opposed to one that has higher horsepower doesn't it? The red Nissan GT-R was highly capable and having "Bo Duke" driving through the infield was hilarious.

      That Audi has a boosted 6 cylinder engine. I doesn't take much turn up the power on an engine like that. In the car fuel management and boost controllers make it easy. IF you know what your doing. So he may have started out making 400ish hp in the beginning then turned up the boost when the money was on the line. (Been there done that)The driver of that Audi didn't seem like a stranger to a race track. That goes a long way and don't forget ABS and traction control in the corners. The fact that 40+ year old cars are killing most of the competition is awesome. This show is great. Please keep em coming.

      Aren't the Audi A4's AWD? If so, that can play in to a real advantage on a road course. That was great racing in tha last episode.

      What the camera/TV show doesn't show is the first turn is a 180deg turn. Both cars, the BMW and Lotus, were behind me through the first turn. I hit my lines both times, my right tire was on the curb strip( as you can tell w my hood going up) on the out of the 180 when the incident occurred. I was looking down the straight, not think the BMW would be close and out of my peripheral vision, here Anthony came. Unfortunately, your wheels go where your head goes and it looks different on TV. Anthony and my self are Cool and it did make for some Great TV...hugs We just need to convert these guys to American Muscle!!!

      Was Kyle Tucker toying with that Subaru at the end? If he was he shouldn't have. He shoulda' just buried him. Good job Kyle Tucker!

      My wifes starting to worry about me. I've begun yelling at the TV every time someone clips the curb in turn1 and spins out. I hope the gang learned something from watching Kyle last night.
