Hey Bonded,
All your 'stones' and the questions under them are valid questions. Except for some of those related to production. I do know they were suppose to air on FOX Sports Net when they first started this thing. But It was with in or part of another program and even though the name FOX sounds BIG. FOX Sports Net really is not, it is made up of 23 regional sports network, that each have their own program directors, and in some cases other partners and owners. FOX Sports Net does not even have 'real' Neilson ratings. So, holding off for a 'Real' Network like SPIKE "and i am not saying SPIKE is all that 'real' even though they do have Neilson, and veiwership has sky rocketed do to UFC. That for R&R was a way, way better move.
Yes they could have rented HD cameras for the shoot. Yes if it was me and I was producing this, I might be shooting now, however a 45 day window is pretty normal.
So, for those on the is board I don't think I would be worried that they are not filming yet. The could start In April and still make their deadline. It's to bad their not racing head to head. All I can think is that the liability may be to great. Insurance can be 10K to 15K on some of the projects i do, and I don't have inexperienced racers flying around a track.
I did not go, but a few 'actor' friends of mine I guess tried out for the show here in LA a couple of months ago, they try out for any Reality Shows.
I can understand how everyone wants to speculate here, but really I think we all our going to have to wait till the show gets on the air, on the date it's suppose to.
I wish I had the time to sit here and review the board all day, but TV never sleeps I work 15 hours a day, every day. So, see yah when I get some free time.
