PassTime with Pete - Part two
So last week I had the opportunity to be a contestant on the TV show PassTime. They were taping at Maryland International Raceway.
I lost
I had a great time though. and Ken lost too.
Ken won the first round, I won the next five rounds, and the other guy won the last three rounds - and won the game.
On the stage
My favorite round - the combo round with two blown Marauders
The last round was a total WTF??? 700lbs and 2000 lbs of thrust.
Yeh, a jet powered 4 wheel ATV. I was way off on my guess. In hindsight, I was just had an enormous brain dump.
All in all though, I had a great time.

And who of all people do you meet for the first time while sitting in the lobby waiting for the producer? 
It was good to finally meet you and the young lady, especially under the most unexpected circumstances. I'm sorry about the loss but the whole experience is a fun one(even though I didn't actually do any taping... I hung out at the track for a couple hours after getting the "bump notice").

OK guys... I dont wear flannel... But, I really hope you knew that... LOL
I won the round with the Marauders...
I'm not sure why, but Speed wont give PassTime any t-shirts or hats or anything.
So, I got nothing, but pics and memories...
Jon, I cant believe I was sitting in the lobby and you were there. just really cool.
So The new episodes will begin airing in February.
I was on a roll, and I failed when it really counted... Sure was fun though.

Watch the speed channel after pinks during the week. They take locals and let them show their cars and then run them down the track for a time. The panel of 3 judges have to guess what they will run after each panelist asks one question each about the car. Cool show !
