Old Family Channel "Game" Show?...Help!
« on: January 02, 2008, 01:17:47 PM »
If anyone here could help me out I would very much appreciate it. I'm looking for the title and even clips if you got them from an old "game" show that was on family channel. It featured teen kids racing several versions of motorized off road vehicles. Their team names were named after animals. Ducks, Gators, ETC. Thats all I can dig up in the old memory bank. If anyone out there can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I believe the show was called "Maximum Drive".

That's all I remember besides the contestants racing off-road vehicles and trying to perform (safe) stunts like pushing/throwing balls into goals, etc.

\I loved that show when I was a kid.
\\Thought that was the coolest thing to do besides watch the other game shows on Fam.

I had no idea he was involved with Sherman Oaks. I loved that show.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Didn't know he was behind an American version of Takeshi's Castle...

Interesting.

Nintendo owns me and Masi Oka is my (unknowing) homeboy, so I'm good to go.
