Detours(Places to See):
hometown template - Amazing Race All-StarsEat it or Pen it. In "Eat it", teams must find the Big Texan Steak Ranch and eat a 72 oz steak and all the fixins' in 1 hour (as it has been since 1960!) If they don't successfully complete this task, they must then complete "Pen it". For teams without the intestinal fortitude to consume 4.5 pounds of beef, they can drive 45 miles to the "Beef Capital of the World", Hereford, TX. Teams find the designated feedyard where they will separate a herd of cattle on horseback and move marked cows into a separate pen (as we know, animals don't always cooperate!).

Roadblock ideas: Spectacular Palo Duro Canyon. Teams must drive approximately 20 miles south of Amarillo to the "Grand Canyon of Texas". There they will search the 26,000+ acres of scenic terrain to find the Lighthouse Trail where one of them will hike/bike nearly 6 miles roundtrip to the magnificent natural structure known as the Lighthouse. This task is not for the faint of heart! www.palodurocanyon.com

Pit Stop Ideas: Cadillac Ranch. No trip to Amarillo is complete without a visit to the world-famous Cadillac Ranch. Made famous in song (Bruce Springsteen) and film (Disney's "Cars"), teams will find 10 Cadillacs buried nose down in a field at the same angle as the Cheops Pyramid. The view from the highway to the cars is perfect for a dramatic ending to the pit stop of this leg of the race! Hometown: Southwest - Amazing Race
Clues: "Eat it or Pen it". "Rocky Lighthouse". "Drive it home". I sent a video and information to TAR several months ago detailing my idea for "The Amazing Race: American Style". Teams travel to American destinations, including their own hometowns! All I ask in return for this one-in-a-million idea is a chance to compete for a $1M !
