I didn't hear everything they had to say about the Motion Vette but what I did hear I didn't like.They didn't quite seem to know what it was so they slammed it.Didn't even know where Baldwin Chevy was.But as Brock said it wasn't a "yacko"I think that how he pronounced it.

Nice that they read email from Lance Miller and acknowledged Chip Miller.

They were like - HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??? I just laughed & said I have my ways...

Steve He was incredible - he's in a better place now (slamming gears smiling away). It's funny they keep playing that interview now and people always call me to say I'm on TV - amazing how many people watch Speed these days!
Thanks again,

Actually, I kind of like reading Brock Yate's column in Car & Driver. Sometimes I agree with his opinions totally, and some times I am diametrically opposed to them. Love or hate his opinion, I'm never in between but I'm always entertained.
I was surprized that he made a comment about the Challenger T/A being only available in '70 and '71. Not!! Only '70, Brock. I'm not even a Mopar guy and I know that. The T/A was one of those special editions, kind of like a Corvette LT-1. I realize not everyone would be familiar with Challengers, but Brock's claim to fame was his Cannonball Run 440 powered Challenger. I don't own an LT-1 but know a fair amount about them just because I own an early shark and am interested in that vintage Corvette. I guess Brock isn't in to Mopars as much he'd led us to believe.
