Dennis, is that the one where Johnson spins the C6R Vette? If it is, I saw it, and it really is a good one!

Thats it Bill. I havent seen it before. He looped the car pretty good. Good thing it happened on a long straight. Not a fan of Kendall or the show but it was cool watching the Vettes ripping up the track.

It really was one of the best fun shows I've seen on cars in quite awhile, and it's very recent. I'd almost think that Johnson spun the car on purpose where he did just to give the cameras a thrill, but at the price/value of the car, I tend to doubt it. Plus, there were some obstructions nearby. No doubt about it, he has car-control talent. And luck.

An old one of Tanner Foust (or however he spells his name) is also good. This show goes back at least a year or more, where he's driving a car too fast complete with in-car cam on him (think it's a 55 Chev), and gets stopped by Highway Patrol. Only to find out his license is expired. Not a good one for him. The HP guy has the right to haul him away AND take the car, too. He didn't.
