One of the biggest draws of street and grudge racing is EGO. Yes, you want to win at all costs, but mostly you want to "crush" the other guy while doing so. If you win when the other guys knocks the tires off, all you have proven is that he missed the setup........NOT that you can outrun him. So yeah, Tuff beat Dave, but can he say he "drug" him or "gapped" him, or does he KNOW he can beat him....NO.
Grudge and street racing is a different world as far as perceptions of a win go.
As for Street Outlaws and who gets to call out who and what happens if a guy breaks........the producers have the final call. Whatever they think will make the show more entertaining, is what will happen.
