Three of our local autocrossers are on SETUP - a reality TV show on Speed where Ten drivers set up and race their own Pontiac Soltice GXP for $100,000 and some other cool stuff.



Ron Bauer, Kevin Dietz and Doug Chase spent a month down in CA to do the show. The first episode was pretty good. If you get a chance, check it out. Our team got the first sponsorship from Bridgestone - so that's the car to root for.



It's on Wednesday nights at 8pm and 11 pm.

Well, that was a good show today. Too bad Ron slipped out of first place at the last moment.



Hey, does anyone have last weeks taped?

herz3mc 04-25-2007 11:27 PM

Guess they had to create some drama. I think our guys are going to do pretty well.



Don't have last weeks taped, I'm guessing they will be replaying stuff soon though.

Hard to believe on lap 19 out of 20 he would miss his line,. I think he had to take a dive.

What....you think the thing was rigged?!

They would not do that on TV!

No... all they have to do is never be Last... It wasn't worth fighting for the line and risking the car this early.

Some of the local AutoXr's along with the team members are making an event of it at the Bison Creek Pizza joint in Burien. During commercials the guys fill in some behind the scenes stuff. Dieter was telling me about it. I plan to be there next week.. cool stuff... tho the show's editing leave's ALOT to be desired..

SORRY WAS GONNA MAKE IT BUT WORKING LATE GETTING READY FOR INVENTORY THIS sATURDAY... I'll also miss next week as I'll be on the way to Monterey to watch Andrew at Laguna Seca!



Man that dirt driver does NOT belong in a car with this show anymore....

herz3mc 05-10-2007 07:19 PM

We didn't go either. I have to say I like him though - even though he's not the best driver.



Glad to see Ron is still in there. He is sure cool and collected compared to some of those other guys.



Wish I was a Bison Creek when Jeremy told him, learn how to drive autocrosser. Bet there was quite the upset at that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
