Yeah, I keep missing it too.
Some of those drivers belong to a Derby though...

Lol, yeah I guess if you have the money you can pretty race in that series. It's on "record every epdisode" now so I won't miss it again.

Man it really was like a derby. SOOOOO many accidents it was ridiculous. Everyone was so unprofessional. Entertaining though =)

I have all 3 recorded. Pretty weak race coverage if you ask me. The narrator sounds like he's doing a documentary aimed at kids on the animal planet channel. I was very disappointed.

I was pretty disappointed, but I did watch them all. The race coverage is pretty weak, and they have music playing in the background so you can't really hear the cars good. It seems like they edited it to run more like a reality show, with the racing playing a small part.

One thing I did learn, be easy on our brakes

the actual racing footage is probably 10-15% of the show time; most of the show is just talk about driver's pesonal issues an other cr@p BS. like on many shows these days, they got only got a few good shots and just keep replaying them over and over throughout the show to the point when it becomes just boring...
but the publicity around the mustangs is definitely a good thing :-)

Go see them in real life. I never watched any "show", but I did attend one of their inaugural races....

I enjoyed it and would go back in a minute.
