Saw part of an earlier showing and its great! Im setting my VCR now. They were explaining stock car driving techniques, car building
and computer animation for car design.
Saw a couple of funny things on it also, a mechanic started grinding on a Stock car and the sparks went towards another guys that
had to turn away. And then another guy started welding inside the car without a welding mask! He just closed his eyes. :-P

Funny, I managed to catch part of the episode on drag racing and it was
horrible! They were showing cars that didn't match the classes that were
being explained as well as stating "facts" that were just plain wrong!
For instance, when explaining Pro Stock, they were showing footage of an
*** funny car. They also stated that Pro Stock cars go 0-60 in 5.0
seconds. Ummm, me thinks it's a bit quicker than that! Maybe the NASCAR
episode was better, but the NHRA one was awful.
