New series starts tonight on the History Channel at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern time)

If you thought the ice roads of Alaska were tough-trucking, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Lisa Kelly, Rick Yemm and Alex Debogorski of The History Channel's 'Ice Road Truckers' fame are leaving the frozen tundra of the Dalton Highway for the out-of-this-world trucking action of the Himalayan Mountains on a new spinoff, 'IRT: Deadliest Roads' (premiering Sun., Oct. 3 at 10PM ET).

Look for the guys and gal to navigate the crowded streets of Delhi -- locals aren't very attentive to traffic signals over there -- and the Himalayan roadways, which date back to 206 B.C. The Himalayan route, first built for yaks, has historically connected Central Asia with South Asia and provided a bridge among the cultures of India, China, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan.

I will definitely be watching this one! Check the link and watch the preview video. Holy cow! I've seen documentaries on these wild mountainside roads before...it's insane!

I don't watch this show. I turned on the tv this morning and there it was...and I was riveted...and because of it, I had a REALLY stressful start to my day.

OMG
I've never seen anything so scary. I am afraid of heights. Lisa has nerves of steel. I can understand why Alex quit.

It makes you realize how much we take for granted..safety laws..etc.

It was really scary to watch, wasn't it? Lisa didn't seem as afraid as the other drived did (at least outwardly). The drivers over there do nothing but lay on their horns and drive without regard for others. I would have gone home, too!

I know I am sitting on my couch safe and sound, but this show scared me so much I could feel my blood pressure rising and my heart thumping. Not sure I can watch another episode.

Should not watch it before bed -- the nitemare's I had!!!! No way for me! I wonder how many of the cast said no that they turned back to drama king Rick to be one of the cast? Glad Alex quit - two accidents before evening leaving the city? The mob did him in and with his heart condition.... go home Alex - please don't shave a few more years off of your life just for a TV show...

My husband loves the show. I record it for him and watch it with him. He has put up with BB, Survivor, TAR, etc. for years, so I guess I can watch this with him. It is a good cardio work out. All the heart thumping and no exercise needed.

I knew it would be Lisa in the end -- but they glossed over how she ended up with all the barrells in her truck - she didn't do that buy herself...
