Hi guys

I figured you would dig this. Im working with the AMA and Speed to help grow the TV racing audience via extended coverage of the riders behind the scenes and off the track.

We started this many months ago. Been shopping this show for weeks with the hottest cable TV production company (their production of Hatfields and McCoys shattered every record for a premier). Ive been funding this myself expecting to have sold it already. We pitched to Fox which owns Speed, and they like it, but Fox is retooling their format, and isnt buying anything now.

The most fun Ive ever had in 25 years of production, and a very frustrating experience as well.  

enjoy

Oh for...ok, can somebody tell me why hasn't that been picked up?  They can make a turd like Defiance, but this isn't getting any traction?  Really?  This looks awesome!  If I had the money I'd buy it right now!

I'm assuming what's said on the list stays on the list, yes?

This was the first video about AMA racing that didn't lick big donkey balls. Incredible job. I just hope someone at speed/fox has the good sense to make you go through with it.

Thanx for all the kind words guys. Im really motivated to make this show.

We shot an amazing pilot in Daytona on my dime.
I had Elenas mom mic'd as she won the Supersport race.
We had Melissa Paris mic'd as they were setting up on pole for the first race. She was talkin shit to Blake, cracking jokes, it was awesome.
Emotional podium /crying moms, Team mate battles between Hayes and Herrin, Motors blowing up in DSB, its gonna be killer.

If I cant get it sold im making a documentary. Mark Neale move over!

Mark Neale makes bad documentaries. Kick his ass, you're already halfway there.

That was awesome. I went to TiVo.com to setup a season pass and ... sigh

I cannot believe you're not signed, funded and shooting. WTF?

Barring some miracle last minute negotiations with AlJazeera, the tv landscape is fucked for motorsport.

We are still motivated to make a reality show but it won't happen for the 2013 season.

We are going to get very aggressive shopping this as a one hour documentary to the festival circut.

My goal is to get enough buzz on fb and youtube to show the network suits this has an audience.

Thanx!

I would sell my soul to Dick Cheney before making a Harlem Shake video...
This one sums up my feelings nicely

Plot twist.

Dick Cheney bought your soul last year.  That's you in the helmet.
