Motorsport Ranch is head-to-head competition. Each week, the show follows three different members as they outfit their customized cars and head to the track for a series of qualifying rounds. The 13-episode series culminates with the crowning of the "MotorSport Ranch Top Ten Champion". The first episode premieres Thursday, June 7th at 8:00pm ET on RUSH HD (DISH satellite network channel 9476).
MotorSport Ranch is not the typical sedate country club with a pool and golf course. Located south of Fort Worth, Texas, MotorSport Ranch's eccentric and wealthy members meet, entertain, socialize, and race exotic dream cars. Established in 1996, the MotorSport Ranch introduced and pioneered a concept that centers on a 1.7 mile road-racing course where members go to satisfy their "need for speed". Owner Jack Farr started the enterprise on a whim when he decided to trade in his business suit for a race suit. One dream and millions of dollars later, there are over 200 garage spaces, full on-site service and performance facilities, a clubhouse and trackside villas. With over 650 members, you can find every kind of car and driver imaginable. The members include several husband-and-wife teams, who have chosen to live the racing lifestyle.
In each episode of RUSH HD's original series, three different members go head to head in a three lap mad dash to see who has the skills, stamina, and speed to keep their car on the track and be crowned "MotorSport Ranch Pro Player of the Week". The race is handicapped, as determined by the other track par times in the day's qualifying rounds, resulting in a staggered standing start. The three different drivers get ready for one supercharged race in which anything can happen. Viewers will not only have a trackside seat for the intense competition, but will also get an under the hood glimpse at all the modifications the drivers have made to their cars. Additionally, the series will delve into the personal lives of the members of the club, and head of the track to visit their homes and meet with their families. The drivers in the premiere episode include:

* Keith Verges, a 44 year-old Attorney, who has a large stable of cars in his garage. He races a stock 2005 Lotus Elise
* Joe Cole, a 28 year-old Application Architect, who takes Bikram Yoga classes to help improve his focus when on the race track. He races a 1993 Turbo Mazda Miata
* Seth Higgins, a 32 year-old Sales Engineer, who hones his driving skills by playing racing video games. He races a stock 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera

On the season finale, the top ten drivers from the season will square up for a no holds barred race-off in three semifinal heats. The three semifinal winners will then compete in a final race where only one member will win the title of "MotorSport Ranch Top Ten Champion."
MotorSport Ranch was filmed using state of the art high-definition cameras which were positioned on the track, in the cars and in a remote control helicopter. MotorSport Ranch is an original production of VOOM HD Networks/RUSH HD, and was produced for RUSH HD by HD Republic Productions

Who's going to watch it besides me? I know I'll catch it because of one Mike Rocke(Father) who is in it(Even though he's in a far off episode from now). It's going to be good.

I don't get that channel (I have DirectTV). The Miata was tuned at my shop. I hope he does OK.

I'll definitely try to watch it. Is the channel already there, or do you have to pay extra for it?

Edit: I don't get that channel, and I dont have an HD tv.

I'll see if I can get it onto youtube or something.

I'm one of the featured drivers in one of the episodes. I have no idea when I am supposed to air and haven't even seen the final edit of my episode. I don't get Dish so someone will have to let me know when my 15 minutes of fame starts.

I'm recording all of them. What were you driving?

In the first race I drove a white Porsche 911. In the final episode I drove my F355. The blew the engine in the Porsche the week before the final so I had to put the street car into action for the last show.

Do you have anyway to export your taping to a DVD or VHS tape?

kverges · Jul 2, 2007

Just a feeler, but is anyone interested in maybe a viewing at my house at MSR this Saturday after 5? My Dish DVR appears to have successfully recorded several episodes, but I have of course only seen the best and first.

Very informal, BYO bevs and food, I supply the venue

Keith,

I'd be interesting in a viewing if you get enough for a 'quorum'.
