Default Factory Stock Drags on "Travel Channel"

I got the email(s) below from Brad Rising, about the upcoming tv coverage of the Factory Stock Drags in Norwalk, OH. This should be from the event last spring. From this board there was myself (had tranny problems), Pete and JJ, and Casey, and probably some others I'm forgetting. Anyway, here's the info:

<font color="red">"Hi Folks, I just received this email from the Travel Channel, looks like the show that covers the 2003 Factory Stock Drag race will air this Saturday 4-17-04 at 8 pm. &amp; 11 pm E.S.T. on the Travel Channel. I don't know how much of the race is on the show, but we'll find out Saturday night! As most of you know, we are taking a year off in 2004 from our race at Norwalk, but our good friends Dan Jensen &amp; Bob Boden have offered to put on a spring race in Michigan to fill in for us this year on June 25th &amp; 26th, a Friday &amp; Saturday at Mid Michigan motorplex. Check out their website at : purestockdrags.com for more information, and we'll see you there! Enjoy the show! I am sending this from my office as I wanted to get the information to everybody that may have some interest, you can still contact us at [email protected]. Thanks, Brad"</font>

I thought it was pretty Good.I video taped it,if anyone missed it.They showed Rob doing Burnouts,JJ going away,and Pete Gettin Sticky.I heard Casey's name over the background PA,with him driving the Cutlass.
It was mostly about the GTO for the first 30 minutes,as it did kickoff the Musclecar craze.But all &amp; all I found it fun to watch,with good Vintage Commercial footage,as well as capturing the atmosphere of the craze across the country.

I taped it also. Really feel Chevy got ripped off - every other scene was that same Mustang driving by .
It was cool to see some familiar cars from Norwalk though

But why the commercial of the '70 Plymouth land barge as a "muscle car?" It was a big 4-door Fury (?) going over the sand dunes. I thought "What the fu___?"

I would have liked to see more old chevy commercials and more of the white and yellow Camaros at the drag strip.

Was that Glasgo in a '70 Le Mans getting the hole shot on a white '69 Camaro?

Yep, Glasgo's "Stock Appearing" Poncho versus Pete's "Certified Stock" ZL-1...I *believe* Pete may have ran him down?

Yes he got the holeshot! I cut a .522 light to his .476..... as in BULB!
John is a pretty good driver. We've had a lot of good races over the years!
