Made me chuckle this morning. Love the humour and the racing.

Must admit if it was a contest of looks and sound the muscle would win hands down, they were brutal.

If I was rich I would have a muscle car for the noise!

Power, speed and force -- it can be addictive for some.

“When I got my drivers’ license my father realized I had the innate ability or the desire to go fast, so he gave me the opportunity to take my car and do what they call a high-performance drivers education class,” said Joe Crowell of Hendersonville.

Crowell was only 17 when he started racing and he has no plans of slowing down.

In fact, Crowell recently took off on a unique journey.

“It definitely was kind of like the call I always dreamed of getting,” Crowell said.

The 30-year-old mechanic and owner of Eurotechnik which repairs German-built vehicles was selected to be on SPEED Network’s “R U Faster Than a Redneck.”

The episodes were filmed at Carolina Motor Sports in Kershaw, S.C.

Crowell says it's a competition between young drivers like himself, who can maneuver exotic, imported cars at high-speeds versus the middle-age, good ole’ boys with American muscle cars.

“They had me do couple audition videos to see if I had the right personality or the ability to ‘trash talk’ these ‘rednecks’ I would be going up against,” says Crowell.

He got the job, but Crowell still had to prove that he could race.

Crowell bought a 2001 Audi S4 Avant. He made a few modifications to the vehicle so that it could reach speeds of 160 mph in matter of seconds.

“I don't think they expected that kind of performance out of it,” Crowell said.

Crowell says he surprised both the show's producers and some of the contestants.

Drivers may be featured in at least three races per episode, and could win $10,000 if they’re successful on the track.

Crowell isn't allowed to reveal the outcome of his episode, but says it was an experience he will never forget.

“R U Faster Than a Redneck" airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. on SPEED. The Hendersonville-native will be on the show March 18."

Great to see he's a proper enthusiast, but my god the audio split on that video is annoying with the commentary coming from the left speaker, the rest coming from the right. Is all US TV like that i wonder?

i found it on my Mobile phone so stereo separation wasn't really noticeable... most US TV is NOT anything like that though, as I just heard it on my laptop...
