Type 1 vs Type 4 on Speed TV

It will be filmed May 1st-2nd for a new show from the creators of "PINKS". A show down, dual to the death. Hot lapping, drag races until someone "Blows It Up"
Jake and the Aircooled Technology crew vs Art and the Aircooled Engineering crew.
Cordova Raceway in Cordova Ill. May 1-2
http://www.cordovadrag.com/
Come on out and give some aircooled support for a national audience.

I hope the show and the track gets the agenda for each day nailed down soon. There is no way I could do both days. It sounds very exciting.

Man, you are sooo far behind in the news its not funny!

Long story short. Chico bailed three weeks ago. Then producer tried getting some water banging rice to race. Then, Art Thraen stepped up for the T1 guys. To keep this a T1 vs. T4 race till someone blows-up. They are filming tomorrow (had "tech day" today).

Oh yeah, Dave broke his toe in the "MassIVe Mobile Command Center" on the way up to the race. Jake, Brent, "Muffler Mike", and Dave are going to have a busy day tomorrow.

Go over to Jake's site and check out "blow it up build" under "extreme projects" section...

Maybe NO_H20, or Jake will post in this thread about the out come. It was for "reality TV" so, thats never a straight forward deal. I can say that aircooled ruled the V8 water pumpers ALL DAY LONG!

It's scheduled for some time in June. Right now it's in the air if it will become a show at all though.

Wow, after all of the effort so many people did ... ... that would be a real shame.

At this point its all just rumors after hearing how the filming went down. There's still hope!

Well I can say that our result was not as good as we had hoped for but we did have a good showing and at the end of the day the air cooled cars put it all over a 12 second Chevell. We (the team) signed a release and I think we are limited to what we should say untill the show airs.
There are some threads on Cal-look.com that talk about it.
