    I don't know, and I'm sure it has been posted, but I haven't been on these past few days so I don't know whats the latest news on anything. However, I was flipping through the channels today and caught the end of Sports South showing Battleground on some car show. I just caught the last few min's of it though.:( Anyone else catch it?

    i dont think Tracy posted it over here.

    here is the original Link:


    They interviewed us at different times and away from each other, but we were telling the same story. It's so cool to see how they cut our stories into one.

    And here is the OCTANE TV shows

    http://www.octanetv.com/

    First-on the bottom menu bar, click drift scene.
    Second-on the menu on the right hand side, click the very top picture "WDC DRift St. Pete 1 and 2 and 3 and 4" (there are 4 shows posted presently). #3 is Dan's feature. #4 is mine

    They post a new show each Wed.

    Also on Comcast ONDemand, if you go to The Cutting Edge : OctaneTV : Drift Scene, they're in there as well

    LOL. I'm so funny! I kill me! When I watch myself on TV is is so weird! I even get asked for autographs now a days....even weirder.

    I forgot to tell you guys, sorry. We are supposed to have our own reality show that starts filming the first week of August. We are still negotiating the contracts and have another production company that wants us, too. So we are just playing the field right now as far as picking one and signing a contract. This one that is on FSN or Sports South was an already existing show that they wanted to do a segment on us on. It ended up that they liked us so much that they gave us the whole 30 minutes and asked us if we wanted a series.

    The OctaneTV stuff is something totally separate. That's an on-line TV show that we are a part of that was filmed at the IRL race in St. Petersburg. It will go on for a few months and a new show airs every wed. It's a pretty cool show and like Mike said it also airs on-demand on Comcast.

    We have been lucky to have a lot of coverage in the past year or so. It seems as though our hard work may be paying off :) Thank Gawd...we almost went broke an lost everything trying to make it big time. We are 1/2 way there. Thanks for the support!

    Next weekend on NOPI Tunervision Dan and I got a big feature...so check it out. It comes on Thursday at 10 or 10:30. I'm not sure...but it re-runs 20 million times a week..so you prolly won't miss it.

    Uhhhh.....haha I want you all to do awesome and all, but don't get too famous. Haha, I'm going to be pissed if prices start jumping and you have to set an appointment 3 months in advance. But congrats! :)

    We never want to get "too famous". We always want to stay grounded and be "us" no matter what. I think it's a little to early to talk about getting famous anyways. We are still small fish in a BIG ASS pond....it just helps a little that I have boobs in this industry of men :D.

    About the 3 month waiting list: I can't promise anything. We get on 3 month waiting list sometimes with no TV show. That being said, We just want to do our thing and be there for the people who supported us when we were nobodies. We haven't done this alone and I have promised a few people that if we ever make it, we will take them with us. So, it's really our goal to make it for them...as well as us. As for our customers, you know we started this whole thing by accident. We didn't like the way the shops we went to were run....so we started our own. Same with our drift events. No matter what people "think" of us sometimes, we are down for the people.

    Awesome, I love to see shops like this that start our small with A LOT of hard work actually get what they deserve in the long run. Unlike that Unique Whips where he already had a million dollar shop setup. Thats what I liked about the OCC series until it just became a man's soap opera

    Well, thanks to Mike and Scott, I get to work on other things away from the shop...like Drift Fury and the TV show stuff and sponsorship stuff and tanning and going to the pool and getting my nails done... :)
