3 PLAYERS SPORTS GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES THE CONTEST
FORMAT FOR RACER TELEVISION PROGRAM

Tampa, Florida: 3 Players Sports Group, Inc. President Patrick J. Schaefer today announced the format for the new Reality Television program…RACER.

Contestants will participate in a 2-segment event as part of the RACER competition process. Segment 1 will consist of a 2-vehicle, side-by-side drag race which will be timed by track officials. At the end of that race and after the slow-down, drivers will make a turn onto an “auto cross” course set up parallel to the drag strip track and will be required to navigate a course consisting of traffic cones spaced at various intervals. Segment 2 will feature contestants on a timed, individual run through the auto-cross course and will NOT be run side-by-side. Drivers will be timed separately by track officials with time penalties being assessed for cones that are knocked over during the run. The combination of the drag race and auto cross times will be combined for an overall score. A tentative Agreement has been reached with a Tampa Bay area Race Track as the location for RACER events and a formal announcement naming that facility will be made as soon as the matter is formalized.

According to Schaefer, “We wanted the RACER television program to feature more than just a simple drag race. Even though we will have the vehicles competing in various classes depending on the type of car and engine, there will inevitably be situations where a more powerful car will be paired against one with less horsepower. Where the drag race is based on speed and power, the auto cross portion of the event requires more driving skills. Contestants who may not prevail in a 1 on 1 race down a asphalt straight-away, will quite possibly be able to make up lost time through superior driving skills demonstrated by navigating the auto cross course in a faster time than the more powerful vehicle.”

RACER, a new reality television show, combines two of the most popular on-air entertainment concepts – auto racing and reality television – to create an unmatched, action-packed 8 week TV series scheduled to air the second quarter of 2009.

Those interested in becoming a contestant on the show can now apply as a driver contestant or TVRacer-Girl ON-LINE at the updated RACER web site… TV Racer . Further information can be obtained by viewing the web site or by contacting the RACER office via telephone at 813 264-6862 or on-line at info@tvracers.com.

nice article, looking forward to the show!

 

damn, no 1 wants to a TV star??

 

I can't believe people aren't all over this. This group made a successful show last year that was aired on national tv. The fact that they made that show proves they have the balls to get it done. They're allowing you to run the car that you built, not some washed up, beat up, has been race car that's been around the block 10 times. Lastly, this will separate the talk from the walk. If you have a fast car, submit an application and prove it. If you are a skilled driver, submit an application and prove it. This is a great opportunity to jump into the race world.

Danny, when does the filming start?

 

My car is still busted. One day maybe, if its still around by then.

 

If anyone with fast drag race reactions and launch technique wants to team up with someone good at prepping for/driving an A-X course, pm me.

Our combined talents can do wonders.-Bob

 

Just a note on this:

Due to cars running on Slicks we will not be having the cars take hard corners due to the risk of the damage a car can take.

Also due to safety and the space will be running the cone portion of the course we will not be hitting high speeds.

But I still suggest teaming up because it is always good to know what your car can do and fit through.

 

Bump, any word on an approx date of when filming is suppose to start?

 

LOL id go on this shit and just blow my car up

 

HAHA
