Basically it is three people who try to guess the actual e/t of the pass of each car...the person closest is awarded a dollar amount. The dollar amount changes as the rounds go. The contestant with the most money wins.

I think thats it...only watched it a few times.

on edit: It will be great to see a Dmax on there...I'll definately watch it then. Keep us posted on airtime.

:rofl: Youre kidding.... :rofl: Seriously, thats hilarious.
Ed's truck would get three votes in the 16s (because no way could a big truck go fast....:rolleyes:) then he'd rip off an 11...
they'd pan back to guessers....all of them look like this: :eek:

Thats the basic jist of it.

Each contestant is allowed to ask the driver/car owner one question prior to guessing. Each contestant hears said answer.

They have alot of different cars on the episodes I've seen...everything from daily drivers to all-out pro-street cars.

After the Bullydog truck on Pinks awhile back...they may be wise to diesels. The show is put on by the same people.

The 3 guess'ers all get 1 question to ask the owner about the vehicle and what ever the owner volenteers to say when he is brought up to the line and greeted. Some give a few details right there, some dont. Some guys are sneaky and dont lead on to how fast there ride is, and some are slow as sh#t and make it sound fast. Driver skill plays in too. My dad and i are pretty good at pickin good guesses. Gotta look for the right clues, like NHRA class stickers, roll gages (funny car cage is a good hint of speed) chutes, etc. Nice when they ask the right Q's too. Some of the tools on the show crack me up with stuipd @ss Q's:rofl: Each person must choose there Q wisely but often hear things like..."what rear end ya got?" "what gear?" "what tire size you runnin?" stupid stuff like that kills me:spit: Dude, when your tryin to guess the general ET of a car, what gear ya got dont really matter! Most are drag cars/ street stuff. and those Q's dont get ya nothin. Stuff they should ask are powerplant info, power adders, throttle stops, weight, that kind of stuff. They have one resident guy, Ken, that is always one of the guessers. He knows stuff and what to ask fairly well.

I did see a Dmax on there once, few light mods, nothin fancy, but they ALL grossly underestimated the superior Dmax power:D They got stunned!

They actually are pretty good at guessing, you can judge a car alot by its Hp and weight.
