Well, duh. From what it seemed, not a single one of the teams had done even a google-recon of the town. Maybe I missed something--didn't they know their destination until way late in the game? [If that, then how did the show get them all to end up in S.D. after driving from, e.g., NOLA or Austin??]
Man, if it had been me I'da known within a cm where I was going to park, what pr I was going to put out, what and how I was going to sell, etc etc. Strange.

That's the general issue here: these folks seem to be nonchalenting this whole project.

Really good point. At a glance, the prize seemed insanely low but what you say here really drives home the point (pun somewhat intended ).

Geo wrote:Bean and Ronnie are directly on point—I hadn't thought about that. Now it makes me wonder about the quality of the trucks: suppose you had a *really* successful truck in, say, Austin. Would $50K even slightly interest you in missing so much of your season?? (Of course, there's Stevez's point as well... ) I mean, maybe we don't even have the top trucks in the competition??
