new show "Forum Wars"

[David Pozzi]

Just saw a commercial for this new show, competition between car forums. Looks like something we could do! :idea:
I think it's web only, don't see where it will be on TV, but the production quality is excellent.

Hell Yeah ..i could see us doing this..someone needs to sign the site up..

[PT Sportwagon]

It only looks like drag racing from the looks of the front page. Anyone know what it intails?

Tim

[CHRIZ28]

Well, it looks like the first race is a drag, then road course. If you're tied, then a figure 8. Just watched a bunch of the videos, looks cool!

Drag and autox on show #10, the Husband vs Wife. She's got a Mustang, he's got a 5th gen Camaro SS.
I've got a slow connection so it takes forever to view them here.

[Larry Callahan]

We SO need to look into this.

[Larry Callahan]

Really slow server. It's hard to watch.

[Larry Callahan]

Irwindale Speedway is like 90 minutes from me.

[montessaj]

Lets do it!

[mpozzi]

Hmmmm ... I am a mod on the NastyZ site. I'd take one for either team.

Cheers,
Mary Pozzi

[Steve1968LS2]

Irwindale is ... a half hour or so from me. Right up the 605.

[Steve1968LS2]

Pro-touring.com vs LatG? lol

Irwindale is ... a half hour or so from me. Right up the 605.

most of us belong to both sites.. lol

[-The Stig-]

haha trueeee...

Ok ok... Pro-touring or LatG vs... Ferrari/Porsche owners club or something.

I nominate Penny or OneLap to represent 'us'. :)

[Bad Bird]

As a proud member of both sites... at risk of creating the Apocalypse...

Pro-Touring.com vs Corner-Carvers.com

[neki67]

Seems like the perfect opportunity for Bad Penny vs OLC???

Matt

Let me help you: one will be driven by mr. Pozzi, the other by mrs. Pozzi and the winner is allowed to do a :wedgie: on the loser . . . :angel:

[Steve1968LS2]

I'm in :)

Although I think of the car more as a team mate.. I like the PT versus Corner Carvers deal better though.

[Steve1968LS2]

Wait, can you remind me which one is which, I can't tell them apart :naughty:

Matt

The ausies couldn't tell them apart either...

[Larry Callahan]

Who decides the other forum?

Not many questions here

http://theforumwars.tv/next-season-entry.html

[James OLC]

I'm game...

How about a Pro-Touring vs. Team Camaro? They are always hating on the modified cars... wait... do they have competitions is for polishing or Sunday cruising... or how about numbers identification and accuracy? lol

[Rhino]

How about a Pro-Touring vs. Team Camaro?

Well... they do have a PT section now. :)

On another note, I'd be interested in seeing the drama of LS1tech vs stangnet or Corral.net

[Bad Bird]

The ausies couldn't tell them apart either...

Geez, one is orange and one is red...ish....
:rotfl:

[James OLC]

It looks like they are on to us Steve... tell D!ck that he can put the non-RS grill in and you can drive "Penny" for a while.

[tazzz25906112]

LOL.... sounds like a lot of fun brewing here.

[BonzoHansen]

Hmmmm ... I am a mod on the NastyZ site. I'd take one for either team.

Mary Pozzi

We could get some Mary Pozzi sponsorship going! Fly the 2nd gen flag!

[Larry Callahan]

I guess it's up to individuals to register and wait to see how it goes.

Who will be the first?

[MIGOAT]

C' mon Larry how about yours vs. the new SRT? Someone will put in for it. I thought it was pretty cool how there doing it. Hell I would just like to see a bunch of PT cars that would make a great show.

[Steve1968LS2]

Yea, it's like Clark Kent and Superman... lol

[Rhino]

Yea, it's like Clark Kent and Superman... lol

Does that make James, or yourself, the socially awkward persona? :razz:

[Larry Callahan]

If I could drive I would throw my name in the hat. I don't have enough seat time yet.

[MIGOAT]

I see MOTIV8R drifting the figure 8. lol

[79-TA]

Just a thought, Pro-touring.com vs. Latg . . . Motiv8r vs the Parkhurst Conestoga, hehe.

[-The Stig-]

I'll drive it for you, Larry. :drive:

:)

[Matt@BOS]

Time to submit applications guys!

http://www.theforumwars.tv/

Also, you might want to read this little article: http://jalopnik.com/5561307/gt+r-996-viper-gti--who-wins-season-one-of-the-forum-wars

Doesn't sound like you need an actual rival forum as they pair people up once they get there. And after reading the article, Larry, I'd say you would be in good company with people that either haven't have enough time to learn their cars, or no nothing about racing.

Matt

[Larry Callahan]

This sounds like fun. Maybe I will sign up.

Anyone else sign up yet?

[Larry Callahan]

All right.. I signed up.

[-The Stig-]

wooo, go Larry!

[Larry Callahan]

Yeah, it looks like fun and it's filmed local to boot.

[MIGOAT]

HAHHA we didn't have to pull your arm that bad did we!! lol

Check out this article. The author is Rob Krider, amatuer NASA racer, blogger, and overall winner of season 1 in the Shelby GT. It really demonstrates the importance of driver skill and preparation over money and horsepower.
