I haven't seen the coverage yet, but my brother tells me that one of the commercials is a Nissan commercial. If you look closely at the lead two cars, they are the two Tabor Rally Team Nissans that went down to Palmdale in June to shoot that commercial (among others) for the Nissan "Shift" series of commercials. Other Nissans at that event were Dave Coleman's new SER, and Gabe Pari's SE that he most recently sent into the landscaping at Prescott.

Pretty cool!!!

Commercials during Wild West on Speed

Though the program is "sponsored by" Subaru, Hyundai and Mitsubishi, there were also ads for Nissan (2), Honda, Lexus and Toyota.

Did those manufacturers (or their ad agencies) request to be on that program or did those ads just happen to show up there in the rotation?

I _thought_ I saw some club(?)Rally number backers in that ad... I wasn't quite sure though.

I'd like to get a copy if I could.

I have heard that my son and I are in the video. We were standing in front of David Higgins' car when they were doing the trans swap and I was told that we made the video.

TIA

... and you didn't even have to stuff a car to do it

Would have preferred to take the less expensive route of actually running in the event rather than rebuilding the engine that went kaplooey on the way back from tech, however......

If the cameras had been there 2 minutes before or after they were, they could have caught something not normally seen on TV.

Let's just call it 'defueling'
