Perfect summary. It is entertaining to watch, though, especially if you recorded the show and can fast forward through the truly lame stuff.

Watched the latest episode tonight, was great to see the GTR destroy everyone. Taking the show for what it's worth so I quite enjoy it.

Was good to see at least in the final version of the show that the slap was not cool.

Jeremy - I'm assuming the rednecks were pretty aware of what you were driving and were gloating in the beginning more for the show?

Congrats Jeremy! I caught the episode last night.

Did that BMW really cause the accident or was it the rednecks fault. From the cameras angle it looked like BMW was holding his line but I couldn't really tell?

Thanks for watching bud, and yeah....the Rednecks were fully aware of what the GT-R is capable of....they didn't have anything bad to say OFF camera lol.

Honestly I'm not sure who's fault it was since I only got to see what you guys did on TV. BMW says it the Camaro.....Camaro says it the BMW ?

So did they really pay out $10k? Great show... lots of laughs I know it's sort of rigged but still entertaining.

I had the opposite view in that. The BMW had the outside line and cut all the way in towards the apex. He didn't leave room for the other car on the inside thus the collision. It did look like the camaro was going in to hot regardless and even with the inside line available he would have pushed out into the wide line.

The show is really good though, I watched all three episodes. Jeremy spanked em so bad they couldn't do anything hahaha.

We raced finch in the optima ultimate street car challenge in both of his cars and beat em both. With the slowest of our NASA TT cars (it was a TTC evo 8, see the thread below this one) car with a few parts thrown on for the event... ~310-320whp, stock suspension.

As KevinD indicated, you can watch exactly that in the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational on SPEED-

Monday, March 11 at 2:00 p.m. ET
Sunday, March 24 at 11:00 a.m. ET
Friday, March 29 at 1:00 p.m. ET

Todd's Evo did very well, but the rednecks both finished in the top-10 overall, which means they knocked off a bunch of very fast, well-prepared, well-driven cars.
