Y'all heard about this? The bastard love child of an unfortunate drunken encounter between NASCAR and WWF. First race has a format with a police car in pursuit. Supposed to look like a video game when aired - complete with oil slicks and potholes and hyper camera angles.

"The street racing that has become so popular is dangerous when done in an uncontrolled environment. We're taking street racing off the streets and creating an environment where souped up every-day cars compete in a real-world, urban environment that will attract crowds to the events and entertain TV audiences across the country." Andre Jetmir

By centering on drivers with outrageous personalities, it should be a very profitable series if it catches on - lends itself to serious merchandising possibilities. They're looking for a TV "home" right now, but planning to go live in January. Show will be hosted by rapper Ice T. I imagine serious racers are supposed to be offended at this highly commercial take on what we do, but I think it'd be a lot of fun to race with a cruiser flashing "party lights" in my mirrors.

Where do I sign up as a driver http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif
How much do you want to bet this will be one big advertisement like F&TF was. I hate to admit I'll watch it at least once though.
I'm practicing my Hulk Hogan voice...better yet, I need to come up with a character of my own...how about "Nawwws Ned" I'll get a Civic with $20,000 in body/paint/electronics and a stock motor with a 50 shot of nitrous (NAWWWS) and a 4" grapefruit shooter exhaust and run 15 second 1/4 mile times in my automatic all day. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif
