Some of the first round call out bs was the definition of rigged.

Boosted in a small tire mustang calls out girlfriend in a promod mustang so she gets a first round bye.

Henson gets called out by a buddy and drags his broke corvette to the line.

I think even daddy dave was broke and pulled out of race. When he saw what Henson did he told I think it was dominator to call him out to give him a win.

After the first round they have to play it straight and race from a blind draw. The first round needs to be that way to avoid the buddy system.
