TONY 1! WHERE ARE YOU!!

dc2turbo

I'll donate the car.As long as I get it back and get to keep all the parts installed

STREETWERKZ

what type of show is this?


you said "racing" but thats about it.

PIPES Producer

Here's how it works (in a nutshell)....

Two teams are randomly drawn to compete against each other....one team has a sport compact and one has a muscle car. At the beginning of the show, the two cars race (3 runs) for a baseline E.T. Next, the teams (3 crew members each) come back to our garage and modify their cars. In each round you are given a parts budget and a time limit. After modifications are complete, the two cars race again with a handicap start based on the baseline E.T. The object is to see who can increase their performance the most under limitations of budget, time and crew. As teams advance through the rounds, you are given more budget, more time and you add crew members.

If you go to http://www.pipestv.com and download the application, you can see more details of how it works. And I'll try to answer any more questions you have here.

Of course you get to keep all the parts you install!

interesting....

STREETWERKZ

sounds kinda neat.


are the cars stock when you first baseline run them?

pingaturbo

Sounds really interesting, too bad I drive a 94 Integra and my homies 92 to 94 EG's.

5thgenallmotor

Hmmm. Do you get time to tune it after you add the parts? How long do you get and money for budget? How do you know what parts people are going to want? Just curious, Dont want to look like a a$$ on tv...
Sounds Interesting though!

lol

so when is this going to be on tv?

The $hop inc.

iam down to join a team if anyone needs any more members

DaveF

would the show be providing the "budget" and car ? or is that up to the teams to provide their own budget and car ?

GrinderGuy2

if i read it correctly, you provide the car and they provide the budget

DaveF

i want specific details.

how much budget, time period between "rounds", who provides the cars, can the "team" be made up or does it have to already exist ?

It is too bad that this is only for street legal cars, that have to be road worthy via registration. If full race cars were allowed, this would be sick!

dave want to do it? I think we can get a good team together.

nvmyb20hatch

i agree with bisi if the cars were full race cars the show would basically be perfect. hopefully it doesnt turn into two teams who just add nitrous to theyre otherwise stock cars and race again..

josh green

doesnt sound that interesting.

i wonder just how far they will let you go with the car though in terms of mods that would depend on how interesting the show would be and how close to race status you can go?
