SAN DIEGO AX ON TV !

[DonCostello]

You may recall that about 6 mnths ago there was a National Geographic film crew at the AX. They said they were getting footage for a show called Break It Down on National Geographic, but couldn't tell us when it would be shown. I understand that it will be shown on MAY 12 at 7pm on the National Geographic channel (that's 718 for me on Time-Warner). The show is about an auto dismantler in LA that specializes in Porsche, and I suppose they needed some footage of living Porsches for the show. They were there for hours filming, but that may come down to a few minutes on the show.

I watched the episode and was a little disappointed when by the middle there had been only about a 5-second scene of the autox that included a quick clip of Don Auten's car, but at the end, there was finally a segment of the "grudge match" between the Trans Am and the Porsche that had a lot of content from the Q event, including a "speaking part" by Mark Kinninger even! Not sure I agree with the conclusion that the 'Murrican muscle car could hold its own with the Porsches.

For those who missed it, my TWC program guide is showing it scheduled again on 5/19 at 3:00 and 7:00PM.
