I think I am pretty close to getting selected. If I am selected, I am going to need a few helpers to get the car road race prepped.
The show is a race format show with drivers getting taped getting their car ready and then having a race against 2 other drivers/cars.
Taping will be late November/Early December
Anybody interested in crewing (Mechanically inclined only please)?
Also, I am looking for a few sponsors so, If you are interested in sponsoring the car let me know.
Cool! I'd be up for crewing... I've done a lot of mechanical stuff on my Miatas over the years including replacing intakes, exhaust manifolds, heads, and the usual maintenance stuff.Quote:

Sponsorship is CHEAP! Tires for the race will pretty much get you the hood.
Define cheap...
I know where you can get tires that are 4 for $100... :D
Well,
I'd settle for any R Compounds. I Have a set of Victoracer V700s, but they are starting to get heat cycled out.
I am running 205/55/14s on the race rims (Wagon Wheels)
Crewing could be fun! Where's this race? No time for travel right now.
Hmmm... $600 for tires... plus the $$$ for the vinyl signage for the hood...
If you're in the show, I'm in for tires... www.arcadecomponents.com may be a little big across the hood, but what the heck... :D
The show will be filmed at texas motorsport ranch.
I have no graphic design tools, so I won't even try to make it, but what about a graphic on the hood with a tilted IC that says www.arcadecomponents.com across the top and "When the chips are down" across the bottom of the chip. :DQuote:

It's still a pretty cool site if you are looking for parts for old systems... ;) It goes along with the hobby of buying/fixing/selling old arcade systems and old school computers.

So what's the name of the show? What's the premise? Who's shooting the show? Who are the producers?
Link to show.....
Motorsport Ranch TV
I saw the original pilot for that at the Magnolia last winter. Has a network picked it up? It wasnt bad, but it could have used some work. Hopefully with different people, it will be more interesting.
Is it an HD network show only?
I got an invite letter for this as well.....lol
what the hell....I asked for the details, they said they are still needing like 15 more drivers!
They will do filming of you away from the track at youyr home or office also and they will have 3 drivers per show ....etc etc.
I have the contact name if you guys are interested.
I agree. I thought the people they used were full of themselves. It might be appealling if they actually get some people that are not only interesting but likeable.Quote:

The letter didn't specify....
"We are still needing about 15 more people to be in the television being
filmed next month at MotorSport Ranch" is all it said about qualifications.
Then the letter goes on to say what will be required of you in time a couple of filming days at the track and a couple of hours at your home and or business.
Then there will be 13 episodes, the winners that advance through to the...
12th episode will race each other in the final 13th episode.
Yeah I had a tough time relating to people who have a full race prepped Viper that is fully supported by Bobby Archer's. That is what a reality show is all about, relating to the people on it.Quote:

I'm in the show. I met with the producer and director yesterday.
The format is different that before adding a element of elimination racing and a final race. Shooting begins in 10 days with the preliminary races being shot in about three weeks.
Not sure if we are going to do Track A or Track B OR TRACK AB:burnrubr:
I am still looking for sponsors and pit crew.
Any mechanics (or mechanical minded) out there want to be part of the car prep team???
Any Sponsors out there? I am cheap! You are going to get at least 15 Minutes of air time.
We are looking for.....
Tires - $600 (Kumho Ectas V710 205/55/14) Mouted and Balanced
Brake Pads - $150 (HAWK Blues)
Alignments - $150
We are also looking for somebody with an Aerodynamics background - I am testing a new extractor hood and I need some help.
Moral encouragement and a good EMT would be helpful too.
Good Luck to you Screamin Screw, man I hope it works out for ya!
I never got a return letter so I guess they found all they were looking for.
It's kewl that a member of this forum is in on this though.
Give em Hell!
Maybe they saw the paint job? :razz:Quote:

Maybe;)
contrary to possible belief, 20% of people don't like the car when they see it.
I'll prolly see you on the track...I signed up and will be there with my MSM. Of course, I think you have a power advantage on me, but it's all in good fun. You have the red/white NA with 'custom' front-end and hood work right?
-Rich
Yep. That's me.

I'm a lifeguard. ::Clown::Quote:
