Default So you think

They could ever do a show along the lines of pinks or something like that that would involve time attack or auto-x and actually make it exciting?

I think part of the allure to Pinks is the short, head-to-head races. It is rather difficult to do that unless it involves that crazy japanese togue thing.

yea, now if you could just anamate it, and make it a story about a teenage kid in a 86 Corolla, where everyone Just refers to cars by their chassis codes, I bet it would be a hit.

F1 qualifying is kind of like what you are talking about. They spend millions of dollars on that, and they still have a hard time making it interesting to watch.

Who wants to watch?

I would rather be driving.

I was about to post a lascivious comment but refrained. Someone has to think of the children.

He must have loved the old Sunriders autox courses, then. They were all about maximizing the amount of time spent on course.
