My car on HIN on SPEED tonight (I think)

I posted this over in the Black Series section but that room does not get much traffic. I thought you guys over here might be interested.

I was informed just yesterday that my Black Series will be featured on HIN (Hot Import Nights) on SPEED TV tonight. I am not certain how much detail they go into or what was edited out, all I know is they took 40 minutes of footage on my car at the show. I was at the show but left hours before it ended so I was not there for the taping. I was not even aware of it until yesterday The shop that installed my NOS asked if they could use my car for the HIN show in Chicago a couple months ago, I said yes and the car won. I was not there to give an interview so the owner of Drivers Image (Greg) sat with the hottie and did the Q&A. I'm not sure what he told them, he is a knowledgable guy, and knows my car pretty well, but I'm not liable for any mistakes or false claims or quotes

The show airs tonight at 10:30 eastern 7:30 pacific

I missed it! but just checked *** Digital Cable listing starts again in 20 min @ 11:30pm tonite In Southern CA...

EDIT: Car is NICE.... & that'll deff be a scratch N' sniff seat for @ least 48hrs

Funny they listed him "Greg" as the owner & he certainly acted like he was & I thought you had a 75hp shot of NOS, Greg said it was a 100hp shot
