Yeah, they were casting for this show about the same time last year. I
signed up and filled out all the forms and whatnot by the first deadline.
They replied with something along the lines of "You were not selected for
this season, so we'll cut you a break on the cost of next season's entry
fee." A few weeks after that they sent me another email saying I had been
selected for the next round of selection. Long story short, they kept
sending me emails saying I had advanced to the final 100 selectees. I would
have sent them the video 'n 8x10 they were asking for, but by that time I
was unable to take the time off from work and had lost interest in the show.
If this season is anything like last season and you can take a couple weeks
off from work, it would be worth the entry fee.
My $0.02

beware if you send them your money, but it would be interesting to see an
autocrosser get onto it. I might give it a shot.
