The reality television show “Kaotic” requested permission of the Ames City Council to film a two-hour driving scene on a city street.

The show involves eight team members who must buy and customize a car in 48 hours to drive from Chicago to Las Vegas with a budget of $1,300, according to the information given to the council from the show’s producers.

The cross-country drive will end at the 2010 SEMA Show, an annual automotive specialty products trade show that will take place in Las Vegas during the first week of November.

If the request is approved, the shoot will take place on a one-quarter mile portion of South 16th Street between Fountain View Drive and Golden Aspen Drive. The event will be filmed between 8 and 10 p.m.

The City Council will vote on whether to approve the motion Tuesday night at the meeting in council chambers at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 515 Clark Ave.

The council will also be given a report on the library expansion project, as well as discussing a land boundary issue between the cities of Ames and Nevada.
