Heck of a show Mike. We all know you had those cats covered except for all the bogus rules and decisions. Really tough break at the end. I hope this show got you the exposure and opportunities that you deserve.
Well done!
Set Up /Speed TV/ Mike Skeen sports bar is open

Skeen strikes me as the guy who has the stuff to accept the little setbacks fate can deliver and never give up. I think the dude enjoys the game. He’ll be in the real game for the long-run. Reality show does not equal reality. Got a great future.
BTW, did anyone notice there was no footage about these cars’ turbos sucking fucking donkey dick. I think at least 3 of them quit working. I bet there was talk about that amongst the participants left on the cutting room floor.

A real heartbreaker.Thanks to everyone for comming out to the house. It was a fun evening.
We’re all disapointed that Mike didn’t have the opportunity to RACE for the finish.
Was there good competition? Yes, Chris and James were fast, and were recognized as such by the other racers. But, at the end James couldn’t hold the lead and Chris had to catch-up from a bad pit stop. TV drama and multiple yellow flags = TV drama and multiple yellow flags. But, we’ve all raced with Mike and he is unflappable. He was moving thru the field, destined for first, when the flip happened. Again, we all know that Mike is unstoppable when he is in the lead position. He just checks out on everyone…
Yes, disappointed that he didn’t have the opportunity to race.
So, Mike now that you can talk about the event and the future, can you share som insight?What is your next move?
Regards, Robert Patton

I have no idea what the cars will be for season 3… but the producer was quick to announce it won’t be the Solstice.
That’s 2 seasons in a row that mechanical have prevented the odd on favorite from winning the whole enchilada. While reality shows may not equal reality… it is true that the fastest guy doesn’t always win.

Patton thanks for hosting last night. It was good to see everyone. Its a shame Mike didn’t win but I think he’ll end up okay. Of course I’m sure he would have liked 100k to fix up his SE30. So Mike whats next? Hopefully we won’t see you at RRR. haha.

What’s the next step? Hell if I know. Taking it one step at a time. There are a bunch of opportunities to move ahead with SPEEDtv.com and maybe get some rides in KONI Challenge this year. Nothing set in stone yet, though. To me, winning the big show wasn’t a huge deal; obviously the $100k would’ve been great, but the exposure at jump start at a career was what I was there for. Accomplished that, I think.

Mike, next step…Well, get busy on the Joes and Pros. Where’s Joe TV? Where’s TK? Where’s James and Seth and…? Where’s the sponsor? Where’s Jim Pantas?
You should have never said that you didn’t know what the next step was 'cause I can always give other people ideas and things to do.Just call me Bill Blaze.

Mike, We are just so darn proud to know you and race with you. I agree that you definately accomplished your objective. As for Damion, are you going to let him win anymore races this year?

Just remember Jordan didn’t get ready for basketball season playing with a bunch of high school kids in the off season. I think us ham and eggers have taught you all we know. Maybe we need to pass the hat around the next SE30 event to get Mikey a college/race car fund I bet JP and Daimon will dig deep…
