The LRP coverage also has a large portion devoted to the Sunday
concours event. Too large, IMHO, though I think last year's was a
bit better than the Shelby-fest two years ago. A long interview with
Carroll, a year-by-year detailed listing of variations in the Shelby
Mustangs at the concours, and domination of the race coverage by
the ex-Trans-Am group. Some of the other race groups ended up with
all of 20-30 seconds of coverage -- [Shot from Big Bend looking up the
front straight] "Here's Group 3, 1950-60 sports racers, taking the green
flag." [Show leader going into T1. Cut to leader taking chequered flag.]
"And here's the winner of the group." Pitiful.
