Carpocalypse, the show that focuses on the daily drama of how a motley
crew of crash addicted racers join together to compete in some of the
craziest races ever caught on tape. The premise of the show began
with the popularity of the local Crash-A-Rama series in Orlando Florida,
and the filming of the “Test Drive: Eve of Destruction” video game by
Atari. (Available on Play Station and X-Box) It all starts
out with a challenge given at Orlando Speed World. Twelve Extreme
racers must accept the challenge with the “very” limited budget, and
build up their race vehicle before the 4 day deadline to “Race Day”.
These First Season (6 episodes) were filmed as a pilot in 2004, which
has grown so much in popularity as one of Spikes highest, rated shows,
which has taken off for an even crazier season 2 to begin currently
airing. Some of the Extreme challenges presented are the Mini Van
Reverse race, “Chain” School bus figure 8 race (with 2 busses chained
together), Camper trailer race, Boat trailer race, Flagpole race, Blind
Fold race, Car Soccer, Automotive Roller Derby, Ambulance chain race,
and an Appliance race. All of the events were spectacular and many
not performed anywhere else in the world. Carpocalypse digs down
into the drama of everyday people and racers to show what goes on before
a race. It shows the camaraderie, the cheaters, the dirty driving,
the spitefulness, the teamwork, the coming together of some great minds
to create some of the most insane racing vehicles imaginable. This
show is not for the faint of heart, however it has screaming, yelling,
bleeding, burning flesh, and the occasional bad word. But the one
thing this show will never lack is a dull moment. From the onset
of the challenge to the busting out of windows, you will be riveted to
your seat watching the pulse pounding racing that is “Carpocalypse”.
So tell your friends, tell your significant other, and even tell your
enemies to get ready for one of the greatest hours of racing television
