Just got back from the Speed taping at BMP tonight ( Thursday).

**Scott** · 12-14-2007, 01:04 AM

Wow what a mess !

I feel bad for the BMP staff as it was obvious the Speed folks did not have their shit together.

Then on top of that the Speed Channel equipment blew a fuse on the track and killed all the track lights for a hour !

From 5:30 - 8:30 six cars, yes six, went down the track !

But not all was lost. At about 8:30 the money, talking bullshit, and talking about the good ole' days came out and it was all fun again. Huge crowd behind the staging area with people like Baldy White and his guys and a bunch of other regulars.

Just got home and they were still taping when we left.

Tomorrow night should be interesting too !

Join the crowd but it is not worth sitting through Speed's disorganization.

I hauled my stuff down last night just to leave it on the trailor.

Well, Todd kept calling, so I ditched work early, came home, changed clothes, and hauled ass to Bradenton. Left the house at 1:45 and was back home a little after 6. It was easy as pie.

All I heard was "in February." They have my address and phone number, so I imagine they'll call or mail something to give me a heads-up.

I was so nervous I thought I would pass out.
