Thanks for the info rlhammon. Still strange someone could be into racing the way he says he is, have a very famous 3 time forumla one champion as an uncle, and not know the years he won them. Personally, I hope he goes out early.
Not a problem... I went back in my browser history to find the page:
Anyway, you can read up there for all sorts of things... but I highlighted what I remembered concerning this topic.
There are a few contestants who have posted, as well as those who tried out (and appear rather bitter) posting on the forum.
There is also a drivers blog section under About -> Setup -> Drivers on the top menu. Not the best navigational site out there.. but there's information at least.
The other thing that bothered me was once Stina was out of the game... they suddenly focused heavily on Kaitlin, giving her and her.. umm... well chest some time on the show and talking about shop romances. Not sure why that angle got played up so heavy in the second episode... she's rather young at only 19, and I think most of the guys are much older.
and who is that psycho guy? You know, Mr I-know-I'll-be-off-the-show-but-you'll-have-a-broken-jaw! Wow - can you imagine if anyone would had dropped the gait on his truck and sat on it like that? I agree with the other guys on the show - if he drives with the same attitude, he won't last long.

I went to scottgillen's site - who is that guy that thinks 'virtual racing' makes him par with real-life racers?? WoW!

So what's with them telling Kaitlin she can "stick around all she wants to" after loosing her car?

It is totally in-line with racing tradition to have as many babes hanging around as possible.

I'm surprised that they haven't sat the crew chiefs down and explained things to them better.. or maybe they did and they still don't get it. I mean c'mon... restarts are screwed up, drivers don't know to go on green, all sorts of issues besides the fact that half the drivers can't seem to understand how to drive the car on the track instead of the dirt.
The T&A factor is a bit upsetting... especially since it's a 19 year old girl (18 at time of taping I believe since it started in October). I just feel like they are exploiting her.
I wish some of the drivers could talk about things... I saw that Kevin Dietz posted here the other day (he's selling his C Stock Class Solstice he won the Solo II National Championship with). Maybe we can get him to come back and post the inside scoop once the show is over?
I forgot to set my tivo in Feb., but I've caught a bunch of episodes here in the last week or so. I only see 4 distinct episodes so far. I haven't watched any yet, and the speed channel doesn't supply episode info to tivo, so I can't tell which is which.
I have the first words in each episode as,
"Every Great Competition"
"The Definition of Insanity"
"There's a guy out there driving a bread truck"
"One of you"
Can anyone clue me in on which episode is which number? I'm pretty sure 'every great competition' is the first. Also, have all 7 episodes aired?

I think you might have listed them in order.. If they are out of order, no big loss... there isn't a story week to week anyway. There has only been four episodes aired so far... at least that's all my season pass has picked up.
