Meat Loaf, singer & actor, picks a number from a bowl to see which car he will race in for the upcoming Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race on April 9, 2005 in Long Beach.

I haven't heard if it will be televised over here in the states either.

Nope. I googled information for the Toyota Celebrity Race and Long Beach,CA newspapers (where the race is going to take place). Much more reliable than the official site if I dare say so.

I noticed in the past that this race has been televised on ESPN2.

Hope this helps y'all.

**SueW** · 09 Apr 2005, 20:06

Meat Loaf ground his gears so loudly that screeching was picked up on the Grand Prix's public-address system a few times.

I won't copy them all in again here but there are quotes and links to reports and photos of the practice session yesterday here

SuperLoafMan · 10 Apr 2005, 01:01

So no news on how he finished in the race...i know they are a few hours behind in the US...i just thought there might have been some news on how Meat was doing

*AndyK* · 10 Apr 2005, 12:05

So, how did he do? Did he win? Did he finish? Did he take a wrong turn? Did he see Paradie By The Dashboard Light? Did The Rubber Meet The Road?

Looks like Meat finished 7th out of the celebrities, and 11th overall with very respectable times for 11 laps of a 1.8 mile circuit

We are celebrating the good race (everyone is a winner) with a cool drink - anyone care to join us?

We are also celebrating with the wearing of the CHSIB pit crew shirts!

Haven't noticed this topic, but that is pretty cool. Meat Loaf in a racing car. Wish i had seen that

AndrewG · 13 Apr 2005, 23:11

Really great Meat took part. Looks like he had a lot of fun! Good also that this is all for charity (unlike most car races)!
