Anyone for "Pass Time." Name the time, win the cash.

I don't to get to watch much TV anymore but I stumbled on this show a while back. I'm hooked!!! "Pass Time" is (or was) on SpeedTV. A drag racing specialty. Basically, two guests try to guess the time of a car's run for money. They also have to beat the expert, Ken Hering. Each panel member can ask the driver one question about the car by the drvier. In other words- name the time, win the cash! Sounds easy right? In other words, the concept is shown in this commercial:


1976 Chevy Camero (aka, the "Mad Max"):


If you didn't win, you have to give the cash you did win back to the host, Brett Wagner. At 6'5", 300 lbs, I don't think most smart people may not consider challenging him. In this episode, each player is already eliminated and Ken Herring takes all the money. Why the parachute on the car? Ken Herring explains. 1986 Monte Carlo SS on SPEED's Pass-Time


1993 Dodge Stealth. The time this car put up turned everyones head on the panel.


Here's how the show ends. He with the most money, wins all the money in the pool. Some days, someone will win before it even gets to this point (normally Ken as seen in the Monte Carlo video). This episode was not one of them.
1932 Phantom. Whoops!!


Neither was this one. I don't recall a final segment this close.
1969 Chevy Nova:


An extra segment that I could not pass up. Driver dedicates the pass to his late brother. And look who won (again).
1989 Mustang, Turbocharged.
