    Don, I think you will find that "justice was served" to one of the teachers in future episodes.

    I agree that it's "unbelieveable" that anyone with the great responsibilty of a autoshop teacher should act the way the Oceanside teacher has on TV.

    One of my sons sponsers offers the students help after the fourth episode. They really give the students much better guidence in building a competitive race car than how they started out. I attended the final filming and will tell you that it turns out awesome. The quickest car runs straight with a 8.01 ET, at over 170 MPH.

    That's good to hear. I know tv is tv and all that stuff, but it really po'd me to see how irresponsible someone in charge of forming young people could be. And they obviously had little respect for him as a role model, especially when he is right there in the middle of defacing the other school. No wonder the kids were only interested in fun and games and took the whole thing as a joke.

    I read on another forum he was terminated Feb 12th. If that is true, it was long overdue IMO.
