Diesel Performance TV

[Jcummins]

I read this thread laughing, because I just proposed this whole idea to a bunch of guys at the shop the other night.
Someone with some camera skills and another that has alot of knowledge of the sport and a passion for black smoke to host.
Make a 1.5 hour long video of as many truck pulls, from the biggest events to a few small town smoke shows. Then get some good shots of say...Maddog Madison, Mills, and the countless others as they make the rollers scream for mercy on the dyno.
Send the film off to be proffesionaly edited so it all looks good and sell the DVD's at all the events the next year while filming the next one.
It may not make someone a millionaire, but they could make a living.
I know I'd buy one every year, hell I might even stand in line all night like some Star Wars freak just to get ahold of it as quickly as possible.
Just a thought that I will never act on, but hopefully someone else will.
Royalties please!

ill second that!!!

if people actually bought the dukes of hazzard and they were able to get willie nelson and jessica simpson and johnny knoxville in that movie, with JESSICA in a bikini, then they should be able to make a diesel movie.....

What show does it come on and when is it coming on again? I keep missing it.

Sorry, Danny. I'm headed to Houston today (at the airport right now) so I'll have to check when I get back (1/2)... Here's what I was able to grab from their website. LINK

On The Edge was pretty cool. It was cool seeing some of the guys from the boards and others that we hear about, on TV. Good stuff. And lots of smoke. I still think a show would go over real well. They mentioned how many people were into it. Time will tell... Hopefully the aftermarket can keep up with the new vehicles to keep it interesting. Maybe the aftermarket will come out with some new trick kits, that will allow us to drop a wrench into the engine compartment and it will actually hit the floor. Or maybe a kit that will allow us to get a wrench on something... That would be cool as $h!#. Yah... Sanitation kits. The wave of the future.

I saw that "on the edge" show from Houston and thought it was poorly done. Unless they are saving the sled pulling footage and in depth stuff they shot for something else I was very dissapointed.
I was Just watching Lawn mower racing on SPEED with better coverage......TRAVISTY!!!
