Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

FS1's new show called Burndown Battle will premier right after the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, MN tomorrow. The show features two Stockers, my 08 Cobra Jet and Anthony Bongiovanni's 2010 Cobra Jet. It was filmed in Gainesville early this year. Anthony and me are not driving, but from some of the trailers I have seen, it looks to be a cool show.

The show starts at 5pm tomorrow the 21st, check it out. https://vimeo.com/168133963

Will do

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Great show if you mute the tv and fast forward to the end and watch the race. Great looking cars.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Ha! My thoughts exactly, as soon as I saw "willie b"
And why did the lowly sportsman racer have the slower car?

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

It was entertaining but the guy didn't need to say ....."man" 6000 times..

Right Man......Ok Man....You ready Man.....Yea Man.....lol

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle

The cars were within a hundred of each other. We set them up weeks before the shoot. The guy driving my car was heavier than Beckman and that was the difference. The sportsman guy had the better light. I believe he had a .012 to a .024 in the final, I don't know the et's, but the finish line was about 12 thousands. It was pretty cool, the sportsman only had one time shot, the one you saw, he had never been in my car before. Beckman I think had two shots in Anthony's car.


From what I here, there well be more, but not with my car, maybe Anthony's.

It would be great for the eliminator, if they had a handicap matchup.

I watched last night and Toda and both times it was a bracket s10 and a 90's mustang.....

I didn't see it and glad I didn't because of him.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Those that don't know "willie b" (not his real name) is a dj in Denver too. The "man" thing gets old fast. That's why Lane doesn't like him.

Yea, Man, Willie B 'Rocks'!
If the light weight S-10 driver, Mark Milano (Taco Truck) had made it Fast Jack may have had his hands full. I Loved the way they worked the sponsors into the program with out breaking for advertisements.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

They filmed 4 episodes yesterday at Bandimere. Willie B-Stephen Meade is one annoying guy. He is trying to do a lot of cool car stuff but needs someone else to do the hosting!

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

That`s right, man!

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

That is what we had as well Ed. Was this guy on Pinks?

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Watched the whole episode today.
4 bracket cars run off ( the S10, 90`s Mustang, an early Camaro and Nova) The winner gets in Ken`s Mustang and faces Jack Beckman in Anthony`s Mustang.
Correct me if I have the Mustangs mixed up
IMO, Its a shame they didn`t use 4 Stock Eliminator cars to get to the Finals.

Willie B was on Pinks and Two Guys Garage.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Cool show. Lets award them national event points for a win.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

its all crap just a sliver of pinks. pinks is worth bringing back not this stuff,
when you watch it you think of pinks. when the Host of the show crash's
his bike in front of all to see ya can't stage that. the selection process
was far better my 2 cents

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

I see most of you had the same opinion I did. I have heard that Willie B is a good guy personally and has done a lot for charities, but he is downright annoying to watch and listen to. As soon as I saw the first couple of minutes I didn't have to wait for the credits to know it was another Steven Pullin production (same as Pinks). I wish NHRA would team up with someone who can make an interesting show with Sportsman racers, but this does not appear to be the solution.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

The show he was shooting at Bandimere yesterday is call Grudge Racing. I guess its dufferent from Burndown Battle

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Sorry Ken I missed the show. I was racing at BG trying to get ready for Indy.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

If they want dee on the show tell them to call me make the rating go through the roof!

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

When I saw Willie B, I quit watching. He's about as good a TV announcer as Tony Pedregon!

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

I think he is the ONLY one I find more annoying than TPed!

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

So what do yall think their target audience is? It sure ain't us . Males 12-19 maybe I'm sure they have consultants to tell them "willie b" is their man. Guess those kids will buy a lot of royal purple for their civics and such.

Re: Stockers on FS1's New Show called Burndown Battle
 

Wow, what a crowd, must be the grumpy old men syndrome. I could do without The Willie and his man crap but with time there is a chance for improvement. I would enjoy and I'm sure that most drag racing fans an NHRA Today of the TNN days or even a show about the Dog Days of racing in Stock, Super Stock and Competition eliminator, now that would be a show. Wheels up competition NHRA already has it but are too stupid to promote it, thinking the Clown Funny Cars are it for them. Wake up before it's too late NHRA, two bell has already sounded, don't wait for the third one.CR
