Carpocalypse

=Carpocalypse Season 1=

Carpocalypse was a TV show on Spike TV that focused 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. It premiered on March 5, 2005. The premise of the show began with the popularity of the Orlando, Florida local Crash-A-Rama series. The filming of the “Test Drive: Eve of Destruction” video game by Atari was what sparked the idea for the show. 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 6 episodes were filmed as a pilot in 2004, which has grown much in popularity as one of Spike TV's highest rated shows. Some of the races from season one include: Mini Van Reverse race, Flagpole race, Blind Fold race, Car Soccer, Automotive Roller Derby and an Ambulance chain race.

Carpocalypse Season 2: Civil War

Carpocalypse Civil War is the name given to the 2nd season of Carpocalypse on Spike TV. The show was taped in Orlando, Florida at Orlando Speed World and in Buffalo, New York at Holland Raceway by the creators of Crash-A-Rama. Don Nerone was the boss and Chuck Rush was the safety inspector. The show consisted of 10 episodes with 2 races per episode. At the beginning of each episode Don and Chuck would show the teams what vehicles they will be building and racing that week. The teams are divided up into two groups of five. Five competitors from the South, including participants from the original Carpocalypse, and five new competitors from the North in a re-creation of the tensions of the United States Civil War. Each week the teams would build vehicles to race per a set of rules not disclosed on the show. Most likely the rules were based on two things: The idea of the race and safety of the drivers. The first five shows were based in the South and then the group moved to the North for the final five episodes. The show was bounced around the Spike TV schedule, originally on Saturday nights, it was then moved to Sunday afternoon with the final two episodes being show on the same Sunday, one in the morning and then the finale hours later in the afternoon.
