If you all remembered the American Sports Cavalcade that use to be on the old TNT channel (now Spike) I use to always watch and tape these shows. Even the pro shows were great back then showing pro stockers doing the burnouts, not 100 interviews with those who PR people get with the network to only get there people in there. Anyhow watch this and you will see what I'm saying, gosh i miss Steve Evans.

(also want to give a shout out to Bret Kepner doing great shows back then also)

Joe, wasn't American Sports Cavalcade on the old TNN The Nashville Network? I remember this because I had to buy a few extra stations from my cable provider just so I could watch this show. I still have a few tapes recorded from these shows somewhere. These where great shows.
