Fireballed! STREET TUNER CHALLENGE HotThread

Hey guys-

Posted here about that fact that we are building a 500hp MINI for the new TV Show "Street Tuner Challenge" on SPEED CHANNEL. Filming starts Monday.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=107915

It's a lot of info, but I wanted to try and make it simple and answer any questions that might come up over the next 13 weeks as we film and build. lots of inside info will be placed on my blog at www.fireballtim.com/blog

But to give you a jist, this car will be YOUR car. The official MINUSA/Fireballed Communtiy Car. At www.stcmini.com, you'll be able to have a photo of whatever you want placed on the car. You kids, fish, MINI, whatever. A 1" photo. You'll also get a Behind the Scenes DVD and signed Poster of the "Mystery MINI" and you'l actually help in our success. 10% of all proceeds will also go to a soon to be named Charity.

So, when you have time, check out www.stcmini.com and get on board!

Thanks for the Support!

That has to be a fun and stressful thing to be a part of. Look forward to seeing what your car looks like and how it performs at the end. Good luck

Great to hear that. It's cool, 'cause you'll get to see the episode on SPEED, then that week, the "Behind the Scenes" Webisode airs on MYRIDE.COM for that particular episode. ...All the shenanigans...

Don't forget you can get your face on the car, too! www.stcmini.com (Some people have sent really strange photos...)

It would be inappropriate to say what my reaction is to this cool event. Can't wait.

Is Styles gonna be there?

Man, I watched that Weds night when it was on. That team leader for the Evo team is a friggin' tool. God what a jackazz. He calls himself the Doctor. He should call himself the Beatoff but I guess he wouldn't do that now would he.
