I am going to watch it but would love a copy on disk as this should be good. Does anyone have the ability to record it on a DVD? Thanks.

Since I do not get the Speed Channel could any of you please record this on DVD and mail me a copy? I will gladly pay for the shipping and disc costs.

Thanks for the heads up. The timing was perfect, and I got to watch the whole thing. I love RA, and really enjoyed watching great drivers wring out a great car.
