I don't think that I've ever seen a TV ad featuring autocross aired during a non-motorsports TV show -- but (I have to confess that I was watching a replay of the 1st episode of BSG from 2003 on BBC America very early this morning) there it was... a variation of this spot: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7gaf/tirerack-co ... he-dentist

What they didn't mention is Kenny's last name. What are the odds that it's "Carter" ? :lol:

Great ad....had to post to FB.

Interestingly, not many healthcare professional types are involved in motorsports, at least not that I have met. Only other doc I know of is Jon Nwanagu who IIRC is OB/GYn in Columbia, SC. Aaron Skolnik is in med school at Duke, wisely using his research years to practice driving. Of course, Mary Johnson is a nurse practitioner. I know one orthopedist who races in PCA, so maybe there are more there and in BMWCCA.

Lots of docs drive cars that are well suited for autocross or track, so I leave a THSCC card on the windshield when I park next to them. There's usually a BRZ, a 370Z and a couple of M3s. Most of the 911 drivers just have the car for show, not surprising. No luck luring them out yet, but I keep at it!

My Cardiologist either raced or open tracked motorcycles when I first "met" him in 2002 (bypass and valve surgery testing, etc. prior to surgery by a heart surgeon). He still does the reviews of the tests my GP practice but I haven't talked to him since 2002.

Edit to add: Bill Gurley, Raleigh Orthodontist, used to race FF's and did Car Guys instructing. Eric Campbell is a Raleigh Orthodontist who my Dentist says does Viper "tract stuff" with a Viper he drives on the street and track.
