He has.....time slips are just hard to come across.

Here is the thing about the show. Unless you are just a pure "hater" and won't admit it, or an idiot, you KNOW these cars are really fast. They have all been to the track at one time or another, or how else would you know if the changes you make are right. But the KEY to the whole thing is getting the car down the street. If you think these guys just blast down the street with their same race tunes, then you have never run anything with power down a street. They are just GOOD at what they do. Not saying others can't, but these guys are pretty good.

But if you notice lately, they are getting some stiffer competition(Kye Kelly), where before they were just blasting everybody. With the popularity of the show, lots of guys are trying to figure out how to get power down a street and do it quickly They were beating everyone so bad at first, all the talk was the "show is fixed".........No, it's NOT, never has been, they were just better at this than most.

If you remember the show with Mike Murrillo, he NEVER got his car to make a clean pass without peddling it and he is one of the best I have ever seen at managing power. He is a really bright guy and has about 8 world championships to prove it. So while not impossible to get a fast race car down a public street, it ain't easy either.

All about the street. I know on one fairly recent road trip, the 405 guys got beat up pretty good out of town. NOT because the guys had fast cars, but because the street where the locals chose to race was really bad. They KNEW the street, the 405 guys didn't. Suffice it to say a bunch of slow cars, beat a bunch of fast cars.
