The Mitty on CBS Sports 11/24!
Dear Roadster Fans!
As you know, Datsun was the featured marque at The Mitty in April this year. HSR produced a TV show chronicling the event called “Trackside Time Machinesâ€. It will air this Saturday, November 24 from 8-10am (EST) on CBS Sports Network. Be sure to set those DVRs as no re-airs are planned!
Here is my coverage of the event to refresh your memory:

Too bad they just showed Episodes 1 and 2 twice each, instead of showing episodes 3 and 4 ;-(

From the producer:
"Alvin- yeah the network totally screwed up as you described. I’ve already started my way up the network food chain to get this straightened out and I will let you and everyone know when the make good airings will be. I am so angry and frustrated but maybe I can wrangle some extra airings out of them."

Re: The Mitty on CBS Sports 11/24!
Good news everyone! CBS will finally air the Datsun episodes as originally planned:
"Alvin-
After a week of discussions with the CBS Sports Network, I am pleased to say that the "lost episodes" of Trackside Time Machines have been scheduled for air.
Episode 3, which covers sports and production racecars (including some Datsun/Nissans and Adam Carolla), will air on Saturday December 15th at 10:00 am (Eastern Time).
Episode 4, which focuses exclusively on Datsun/Nissan as the Mitty featured marque and includes grand marshal John Morton, will air immediately after episode 3. Â That airtime is December 15th at 10:30 am (Eastern Time).
CBSSN has graciously provided us with additional airdates for both episodes the following day at 6:00am and 6:30 am."

Re: The Mitty on CBS Sports 11/24!
Watching currently... is the sound messed up for anyone else? It seems to only have the answers to questions posed to the owners/drivers and generic background music...
EDIT: the datsun/nissan segment seems fine
