Have y'all checked out the Pass Time program on the Speed Channel?
I've enjoyed trying to guess the ET's of the cars they run.

The contestants seem to do better than I do.
I wonder if they had to handicap BasementPaul's '69 Cadillac.

That's a great show that they can keep making for years, and easy to play along at home too.

I just found it a couple of days ago. Has it been around for a while?

Maybe a year? Not too long ago, though.

I think it's on it's third season, but I think the "first season" was pretty short. That's a great show and I watch it a bunch. I'm usually competitive with the contestants. Definitely lots of fun!

has anyone ever seen the face of the female "Flagger" on the show? they always show her from behind trying to line up the respective car. she's at least six feet tall and built like a model. i would imagine that she's quite cute. I'm curious as why her face never appears on camera. burned by acid? large mole? wears a mask? etc....
one of the neat aspects of the show is trying to take the driver's skill (or lack therof) into the equation.
also, the guy who is the house is also on Pinks as "roving reporter" type.

Actually, they will show her face periodically, and you definitely don't feel the need to turn away.

I just saw this show for the first time last week while on a business trip. It is kind of fun. Seems like there should be a drinking game in it.

What kind of business trip are you on watching Pass Time? Sounds like you were really working hard!!! Was that the main focus of the trip???

You don't think I would be working, do you? Don't you remember my sales job?

From what I remember of your sales job, you worked REALLY hard at trying to get Chardon Rental to purchase whatever it was you sold. You cold called us 2-3 times per week!! That was salesmanship!!
