Had a chance to catch up on Setup this morning and was wondering if anyone else watches this show as well.

I watched the first season, and then the first ep. of the second season.

Doug Chase (a participant both seasons) welded up the roll bar in my car.

Note, though, this is not racing that is shown on a TV show. This is reality TV that happens to be themed around racing. There is an important distinction.

 

I watched on episode and some of it was interesting but (like Mike) I thought much of it was so "reality show"-ish I don't know if I could stand to watch it regularly

The racing stuff is good, the BS stuff isn't TK is always amusing though

 

I agree. The show takes itself really seriously too. However, it's the only show on TV that actually talks about racing technique.

 

I watch it and I get a kick out of it. It is more "entertainment" than racing.

Scott Gillen is an @ss (Thug?) but I liked his work on Build-or-Bust. I liked his response to the camera-man safety concern "We live to get the shot, you should live to cross the line with a checkered flag."

I like how they air some dirty laundry, like when their own rules don't work out. That last one was great. Gee, he dropped a wheel so he should go to the back of the pack but it is the last lap so maybe not. While at the same time the leader over-cooks it WAY off track. I like their response to these situations, a little mano-a-mano on-track face-off.

 

Yes! watched it last night! I try to gobble as much stuff on speedtv that doesn't involve going around in circles , although they do a little bit of oval racing on the show

 

like today....

alms.. then a quick stint to nascar, then back to alms, then off to F1.. a perfect saturday for me

 

I watch it....The first season was cool. I have the second on my DVR, haven't watched any yet...It's entertaining....

 

I'm hooked on it.
