Default Discovery Channel Show

A Discovery Channel Show is searching for 2 racers to be part of 'Rocket Cars' (Working Title) in the Southern California area around LA. We need you to be 18-24, someone who lives, breathes and races cars! We are looking to paint a real picture of the scene (Not F&F) and create a 'Monster Garage' style show. Currently it is a one hour special, but we are hoping to make it into a series. There will be a generous budget for you and the tuners to modify your car. The car must not be too modified. I have the Tuners already cast, but I need to cast the racers by the end of this week at the latest. Call, or email me with any questions and spread the word.

I hope this isn't going to be like Supertuner or have any "blingtastic" hotwheels inspired cars. Not to mention hosts with "wanksta" accents.

Oh yeah, Streetracing
IMO, If you are looking at the "street scene" you are going to be disappointed.

And having a show solely about drag racing might get boring.

I would contact Mike Laskey who is 3rd in points in NDRA in his 1st full rookie season. He lives and breathes racing and so does his father Earl. He resides in Irvine CA and if you need to reach him feel free to email me at arturbo98@hotmail.com

i agree that Earl and Mike deserves this, but, wouldn't this requirement disqualify them as candidates?
