[Angie MacEwen]

Discovery channel has an upcoming show on karting!!

http://dsc.discovery.com/schedule/series.jsp?series=24642&gid=11491

Looks like 3 episodes, starting this Friday, Jan 16

Gold Star Racing – Ep 1
Meet families who spend almost all their weekends pursuing their passion?racing go karts. Gold Star Racing brings kids and parents together as young racers and elder pit crews work side by side to prepare kart and driver for all out competition.

Gold Star Racing – Ep 2
Traveling at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, inches away from competitors, these kids are race drivers in every sense. With Mom and Dad turning wrenches, taking lap times and changing tires, there’s drama in every race.

Angie, I saw a preview for it tonight while watching American Choppers. It looks really interesting. It was kind unique how the dad was yelling at the kid”…today is your day so don’t screw up….this is what you went to racing school for!!!” Yikes. I can’t wait till friday to check it out.

What,
Your not supposed to yell at your kid?

OOPS!

I don’t know how many of you watched last week. The next segment is on tonight on Discovery Channel at 6pm.

What planet was that family from?
I missed the first series, read about it on ekartingnews, then kept an open mind for the second series. Hope the first one was better. I could not believe that kid’s attitude. His parents are really raising a future problem to society. Sorry for the opinion, however, that show does not represent the same sport we participate in.
All dad’s fault, shut up mom, go away, get out of my face, get me a better kart, that kid got in my way… It’s OK son, whatever you say, it’s all my fault, your right… GOOD GOD I ALMOST BARFED 😡

On another note with the Discovery Channel. What was up with the new chopper series Millwaukee Steel? What trailer park is that group from? Discovery needs to do a little more homework prior to putting garbage like that on the same network with the Tuttles and Jessie James. I will be interested to see how that purple piece of c*#@ competes with all the other real choppers.

Now I feel better, all done.
