We had Speed on for a while in my buddy's garage over the weekend, and very quickly noticed in the preview that the only times the American cars were passing anyone else it involved enough contact to upset the balance of the other car. No surprises there.

 

redneck motto? rubbin-is-racin.

 

I'm totally going to tune in to watch the "Face Smack" ...

 

I was talking to him on Evo X forums where he posted the following about the incident.


" Except dealing with the social fallout of being slapped by another man while restrained in a car on national TV. At this point its no secret to say I was in the m3 that was hit by the Camaro. And yes, I was hit by the Camaro. The earliest frame of video supports my recollection from in the car. He did not have position at turn-in. I am already fully turning while he was still in a full nose-dive and his front bumper was just eclipsing my rear bumper. He had come off the brakes partially when he saw I had out braked him (I was ahead, with a gap when I hit the brakes) and he didn't leave himself enough room to slow. In real road racing, this would be his fault. But we were playing by redneck rules, so this meant nothing. The fact that HE was the one who was crying about a little fender damage when he could have bought my car with the spare change in his pocket, and further more slapped me in a cheap shot, was all the more bewildering.

They will not make me look good in the episode. I know what I signed up for.




"

 

Wow, I figured it would be something like that. I'd hope that Camaro guy doesn't show up at any NASA events anytime soon around the SE.

 

Wouldn't worry about that, these types of idiots are scared to show up at a real track event with rules and regulations.

No way will I watch this show. Speed loves their V8 Nascar crowd too much for the overall balance of this show to be anything but biased.

 

Dude! Not cool ... I guess the audience can see for themselves and figure out who's at fault.

 

You have to be a vastly calm person to take a slap to the face. With that being said I dont think I will be watching this...

 

I couldn't agree more. It's going to be a biased piece of garbage.

Year One Bandit - 1978 Pontiac Trans AM

We got to ride shotgun in the ’78 Pontiac that Year One built as the pilot car for their Bandit Trans Am series. It’s worn several different noses, but now it’s got the ’77 front clip and screaming chicken that’s pure disco-era awesome. Underneath it’s a different story, as it uses an early version of Detroit Speed’s second-gen F-body front subframe and a first-gen F-body Quadralink rear suspension to bring the geometry into the 21st century. With the 500ci, all-aluminum, 650hp Pontiac engine dropped almost 2 inches and moved rearward 3 inches, the 3,300-pound car has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution.






Joel Vandiver // Cornelia, Georgia
'08/’09 Dodge Challenger

Cobbled together on a shoestring budget from a rolled SRT8 Challenger, a police Charger, and a factory-reject Challenger body, the former 6.1L/auto car now runs a 426 and a six-speed. The odd color is self-etching primer with clearcoat.









Lonny Childress // Bourbon, Missouri
'68 Ford Mustang
The R&D car for Gateway Performance Suspension uses Gateway’s three-link, coilovers, and Watt’s link in the rear with its strut suspension in the front. It’s got a 560hp Roush 368ci Windsor, a Keisler five-speed, and Baer brakes






Brad Granger // Alton, Illinois
'67 Chevy Camaro
Brad has owned this car since 1978. Originally an automatic, he swapped in a four-speed soon after he bought it, and now it has a Tremec six-speed, Boze wheels, Chris Alston’s chassis goodies, and an LS3 with a Magnuson 122 supercharger








Eddie Key, aka “Resaca Rattlesnake” // Resaca, Georgia
'12 Ford Mustang Boss 302
Eddie’s a police detective in Gordon County, Georgia. His Boss 302 is showroom stock except for brake fluid and pads, which are Hawk HP Plus. It’s only got 3,000 miles on the odometer because it’s mainly a track car. Factoid: the 903 on the door is Eddie’s badge number.









Brian Finch // Hermitage, Tennessee
'69 and '71 Chevy Camaros
Brian has two Camaros in the Redneck stable, both LS powered and both with a nearly perfect front/rear weight distribution. The ’71 was yellow with a black hood when it was featured in HOT ROD. Now it’s silver. It’s got Detroit Speed suspension and is just a bit faster than the ’69 thanks to the second-gen’s lower stance.

Hey Brian finch is running! We beat him at the optima ultimate street car challenge . In an almost entirely stock evo 8

 

I don't know about the rest of those guys but Joel is the real deal. NASA-Southeast regular racer, drives the snot out of that Challenger.

 

Please tell me that moron paid to fix your car -_-

as for the whole slap thing...wow

 

+100
I just watched that piece of horse crapTotally Biased, of course a 600hp car would beat a 240hp....got me heated.....

 

"You beat one of our drivers and stable cars (with over $100k into them) with a mildly tuned low HP import (or stock gallardo) on a track with 5 turns and long straits. . . Now race a one-off custom race car piloted by a professional driver - oh and we get the inside line for turn 1....god our american muscle is good"
