But  George Poteet as "Daddy Warbucks" and the OSU team 
"blackballed?"   And then the endless harping on crashes to the point 
of showing the blood  inside a car after a crash.  Jeeze...I've been 
asked to point my  camera elsewhere for much less "bad press" stuff than that.

Did SCTA  have a chance to view and approve the show?  Will Discovery 
come back  for the next installation of "crash, death and mayhem on 
the salt?"   If so, I think I'll read a book or write an email instead 
of watching  it.

Maybe I'm just getting old and this is the new face of  
television.  If so, I can do without it.

Considering  all this , I wonder where Land Speed Louise stands on all  this. 
I did see her name in the  credits. Then again, I personally know NY  Fire 
Chiefs that were "technical advisors" to TV and movie Fire related shows,  and I 
guess you don't get paid if you actually advise technically. 
I don't think the SCTA needs this kind of coverage.,.I.M. very H.O., or  
publicity.
