"America's Greatest Race Car"
HD Theater Creates First Documentary on Daytona Coupes

In May of this year, a documentary was filmed which was intended to showcase the auctioning of CSX2601 at Indy, interspersed with interviews of Peter Brock and Bob Bondurant.

The inside story is that when the car did not sell at Indy, the show as planned didn't work as the ending was quite anti-climactic. The show was reconsidered and as the interviews were so interesting and the car was so stunning, filmed in HD in a studio across the street from the Indy track, Discovery decided to do a full documentary on the Daytona Coupes, with the auction as a backdrop. The title being: "America's Greatest Race Car".

The show first aired Monday night on the HD Theater channel (if you don't know what channel this is on your TV, call your cable or satellite provider or look it up on their website). Future airings will occur: Sat 12/12 4am ET and 7am ET. Sun 12/13 1pm ET. Sat 12/19 1pm ET.

We are working with Discovery (the owners of the HD Theater channel) to have a DVD of the show created and made available. We will keep you posted and in the meantime, set your DVRs!
