Paul,
I watched that show also. Consider that the Tiger was
probably new at that time. Worn ball joints shouldn't have
been a problem. There was a nice standing start acceleration
shot. Two black marks for about 150 feet with no wheel hop.
What I couldn't understand was that the Tiger was in front
the whole way and it only got 8th overall. Of course this
was a rally so the first finisher is not necessarly the
winner, but I assumed that the "winner" of each leg
would start the next leg. A mini-cooper
won the thing I think.
My cable company, TWC never has any on line
info on what is on Legends. It is frustrating, as all the
other channels have on line information about the programs.
Is there a Speedvision Guide available?
