Speed Vision

Man oh Man!

I can't begin to tell you all what a treat it was to be at the in-laws house over the holiday. Not only was I feed till I was bulging but my father in-law has the killer satellite/cable set up. All I did was watch Speed Vision the whole time (I only have basic cable). I was so pleased to see a race that was a GT5 class and a driver by the name of Jay Iliohan won 3rd place in a bad a** Alfetta. Any one else see this race?

Just thought I'd share.

Happy Holidays!

Just surfed the web a bit and found some images of the car and driver.

I saw that race as well. It was a good one. I wish they would show more SCCA or similar events. I couldnt believe how fast those little Mini Coopers we're. Cars are so small that the one guy who won the race looked like he was sitting in the back seat!

I too saw the gt5 race and it was exciting..veen more to see two alfas... not only was there a red alfetta but there was also a beautiful blue gt jr 1300 which had an acicdent with one of the minis and i believe finished in the top 10.

I wish speed would show more of this....I am definatly tired of NASCAR!

I saw the GT5 race.I only signed up for "cable" (Dish
Network actually) to get the Speedvision and Dish had it without having to buy the top package. Just $50 more one time gets a unit that records 60 hrs of racing.
The blue GTV Jr was Jack Beck, who won the G Production Natl title twice I think in a pretty Alfa Spider.
Unfortunately Illohan was penilized ( anyone know why?) but he and Beck did well anyway.
