Elise featured on Rush HD "Reality" show MotorSport Ranch tonight

I think at 8 pm CST, the Rush HD network (part of "Voom" and Dish network, I am pretty sure) airs the first of 13 shows entitled "MotorSport" Ranch. See how the Lotus Elise fares in Episode 1 tonight.

Is this what your talking about? The Elise seems to have plenty of pics to start and I too would like to see the show. Might have to check tvtorrents later.

Elise came in 2nd overall for the championship. Right on the heels of a...wait for it...modified Corvette.
Finale aired last night.

Modified, AUTOMATIC trans Corvette. With a head start. It was pretty obvious which car was faster.

My apologies Keith, I didn't realize it was YOU posting AND driving...that's awesome. I liked the concept of the show, however I didn't like the host/owner of MSR. He's not animated enough to be a tv host IMO. Seems like a nice enough guy however.

Nice representing for the Elise and great driving. I watched the first episode yesterday (rerun) after I watched the finale. Both days it was interesting to watch several cars go flying off the track went competing against you. Is that a common occurrence there?

Probably won't get many replies on this as Elise owners with Dish Network are probably a rare breed. I tease my neighbor who has cable, because I get TONS more HD channels than he does.

No apologies needed - Jack Farr is a great guy and the off-track excursions are fairly common due to the high safety factor of the track (no walls). It was a fun diversion, but I am sticking with my day job.

If someone wants to figure out how to hack it off my Dish DVR, come on - I do not know how to do it.

You could get a stand alone DVD burner and do it that way.

Season 2

I believe Season 2 started last night. Either that, or I missed a week or so, but it is definately a new season for Motorsport Ranch. Wonder if there will be any more Lotus?

Just thought I would pass it along.
