This is my last word on the subject...I can not believe that Eckler's, who is our main Challenge sponsor AND a main sponsor of that very show can't get one lousy copy for us from the production company....we all know that if one phone call was made we would have a copy...it's a damn shame.. :(

I spoke with someone at corvette the american dream productions.
The guys name was Tom he is the production manager. He informed me that they received your e-mail. I'll talk to you about my phone conversation with him on saturday at the challenge. There may be a way we all can purchase a
copy of the show. :D

OK...Here is the deal, and wee will need to get everyone we can think of that is interested to commit to buying one if this is going to work.

100 is the minimum they can have made....and becuse they are a production company & not a video distribution company the cost is extremely high so here it is: $1200 app cost for them to get the 100. That works out to $120 each......I know this is sticker shock, but give me your feedback on interest. I would pay it to see us on TV and have it to hand down to grand-kids....but can we get 100 people to?

With future shows, (yes, they intend to cover several more...I will try to get them up to the East coast event also) they may be able to find a more economical way to do this, but for now they just aren't set-up for it. :cheers:
