“Pass Time” In Montgomery

SPEED Channel Hit Game Show Comes To MMP Park In April

Pre-registration & Application

(April 7, 2008) -- SPEED Channel’s hit television series is coming to Montgomery.  Episodes of the exciting interactive game show will be shot Friday and Saturday, April 25th and 26th at Montgomery Motorsports Park, a 1/4 mile NHRA drag strip located on the north side of Montgomery (2600 North Belt Drive). Fans and their families are invited to be a part of the live action and can contact MMP for more information (334-260-9660).

“PASS TIME” is currently SPEED Channel’s top rated program and airs daily (7:30pm EST / 6:30pm CT) on the cable network. “So much of the enjoyment at the track is derived from guessing just how fast these cars will run the quarter-mile down the drag-strip”, Speed Programming Vice President Robert Ecker says.  “This phenomenon lends itself to a traditional game show format that is both fun to play and fun to watch, bringing every smoke-filled burnout directly into the viewer’s living room”.

Created by Executive Producer Rich Christensen and produced by High Five Entertainment, a Nashville-based production company “PASS TIME” was the first series to emerge from SPEED Channel’s Sunday-night incubator block called “LAUNCH HOUR”. HFE President Martin Fischer isn’t surprised by the show’s success. “SPEED Channel viewers are so incredibly passionate about motor sports. Rich Christensen and Bob Ecker gave them a voice via Launch Hour. We just listened.”

The show’s premise is simple…"Name the time, win the cash, it’s that easy". Drivers tell three contestants about their car. Host Brett Wagner allows each contestant to ask the driver one question only. Based on that information, contestants “lock in their times” before the driver makes a pass. The contestant whose guess is closest to the actual time wins cash. The player with the most cash at the end of the game wins. But there’s a twist. Players must compete against “PASS TIME’S resident automotive expert, Kenneth Herring. “It’s a game show for gear-heads that’s fun for the whole family”, says HFE Motorsports Producer Ray Iddings. “We’re really hoping fans turn out to be a part of the live action in Montgomery next month. Having an enthusiastic crowd on hand adds so much great energy to the show”.
