Mobil 1 The Grid
« on: March 29, 2011, 01:40:42 PM »
Ryan LeFevers to be on TV!

Okay folks, set your DVR’s to this Saturday (4-2-11) morning at 4:00 am pacific time to Speed Channels “Mobil 1 The Grid”. www.grid1.tv/tv-show.  It’s a 30 minute motorsports magazine show that gives fans a behind the scenes look at some of the top racing teams from around the world.

This weekend’s episode will have a segment on Land Speed Racing at the dry lake bed of El Mirage in southern California where the SCTA has been conducting time trials since the 1930’s. Included will be interviews of the Burns Bros. “Yellow Brick” pickup driven by Tim McMaster and my son Ryan LeFevers driving my modified roadster on why they challenge the elements trying to set a record on this hunk of dirt in the desert.

Hi Dan, they shot the footage last July but it never ran on TV. The El Mirage segment did show up on youtube though.

I'll record it but, I bet I saw it on The Grid last year. Or, maybe not.
