I flipped over past the NASCAR race, and stopped dead in my tracks as I saw some Ferraris and Jaguars at the Cars and Coffee meet. Then I saw a familiar shape: the Dallas C16 speeding out of the parking lot. One of the announcers basically gave Callaway a project placement and plug on the air because he talked about the car and what Reeves does. :upthumbs

Brandon, was this a network program, or???? ;shrug


Also, please stop calling it the "Dallas C16," as it has spent most its life elsewhere :chuckle

It was on Fox (network station, not a cable version), it was a race called Fontana and it was canceled due to rain (according to nascar.com).

The Cars and Coffee segment was on an hour or so before the race started during a preshow. It was maybe a minute long, had the Callaway C16 end the segment with it roaring (supercharger squealing) off from the get together, and then some announcer guy who calls the race (I guess) talked about Reeves putting superchargers on Corvettes and how the C16 was either a blast to drive or ride in... not sure what he said.

The segment was focused on Jaguars at the event. Particularly a D-Type. Maybe that'll help you track it down if you're looking for the clip. ;shrug
