GTMotoring DC5 is Famous!

I know that you already saw this, but thought I'd share your fame on here as well.

Picture from a show on the Speed Channel called HIN

Hahahahahaha...notice they left it out??? LOL.



Thanks for posting this up. I showed it to my mom last night. I felt pretty special.

It was no "Supercars Exposed" though! Any of you guys catch that???? JC definitely rocked that out. At the very least, he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

For me it was like "oh...what car is this?"

Me: This is a car that's in the running for the Redline Time Attack Championship.

TV: So does it drift?

Me: On accident, I guess.

TV: Do you know anything about drifting?

Me: *pulls some random comments out of his rear-end...

Go figure they keep that in the spot.

I wish they would have given me fair warning before filming me...my girlfriend saw it and was like "wow, you look really sweaty and out of breath." Which I was.


EDIT: found this, too!

SPEEDtv.com Videos

EDIT AGAIN: looks like the link doesn't work...go to SPEED X and then go to HOT IMPORT NIGHTS: DRIFTING A HONDA

Cool! At least I fooled one person



Ha ha thanks. Seeing and hearing yourself on TV hurts..... It's like hearing yourself do Kareoke, dont try it! (especially drunk....) Thanks too for not saying: "why were you hiding a pillow under that driving suit JC?" like most of my "fans" said (my kids etc...)

Supercars was very scripted and directed. They even edited it to have the Viper beat me but luckily, SCC (now defunct) was there and the TV guys knew there would be trouble if they skewed the results that didn't match SCC's report. Fortunately, they played it correctly even though some of the clips didn't make total sense in the order they played them.

Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun and Tanner Foust is truly a talented class act.


BTW, speaking of pulling comments out of the rear, did you like my Bart Simpson "holy cow" comment when Tanner pulled up in the Viper? Just ignore the concept that I was sitting in my car on the start/finish line for some random reason and then got "surprised" when Tanner pulled up out of no-where. Where do I pick up my Oscar?

Haha, they actually looked at your car and then asked you if you drift it? You should have just laughed uncontrollably while pointing at them until they turned the camera off.

As you guys can probably tell, I was working hard to try and rep TA as much as possible...but I think I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, lol
