I just watched a trailer for the show and its as bad as I thought it would be. Please give me the leave cause my cars heavy, your turbo makes more HP than my nitrous. You got fat tires and mine are skinny. GIVE ME A BREAK. I've seen enough.

Just watched it and wished I didnt (and I skipped the garbage between the first and last minute)

Even if rich doesnt know anything about cars it's still fun to watch for me. I would still watch pinks if it was on.

It's like an accident scene on the highway. You know you shouldn't look, but you do anyway. And then...

Rich tries way tooooo hard....I wonder if he realizes that he makes him self look like the spokesman for super douche???? lol

I think all the negotiating is tacky but I'd probably watch it if I could.

the guy with the camaro was wearing an Indy jacket

hell I didn't think it was that bad, guy picked up an easy $500 kicking some import rear. who else is out putting everyday racers on tv and handing out money?

I watched it and like you guys have said its terrible. Rich should not be in front of any camera or talking in a public area about racing in any form. Now with that said it will draw people to watch it because people by nature want to see a train wreck no matter how bad it is. These people want to complain about something.Don't watch it it will go away in a few weeks.Thank god I can't get that station its on anyway. Then you have the people that just have no clue about what real racing is about and just watch to see how the red neck hill billies can embarass themselfs.How about the other show that is on speed Are You Faster Than A Redneck THATS ANOUTHER DUMB SHOW. That thing got a hemi in it?

Just like Pinks, this show seems to be more about the arguing or negotiating than about the racing. And there is almost nothing about the machines themselves.

A soap opera about drag racing.

Rich is certainly more excited about the negotiating than the cars or the racing.

I am glad to have a drag race oriented show, but it is not very good.

everything else aside...
you guys dont do much street racing for money..cuase thats about how it goes on the street racing scene that ive watched....although for usually more money and the fear of guns has been removed at the payout..and less foul language

it think its corny..but atleast its about racing fwiw..
I mean we could just go back to watching espn interview Warren johnson wine and complain and Force talk about his daughters...and paul page fumble everything...

the only other thing i might suggest would be funner to watch is all the brothers sitting in the burnout seats...and takin bets on the lanes...
that is always worth standing around and listening/watching..sometimes its better than the actual race...

Thank God that when I did street race many years ago it was car against car, driver against driver. If you were in the other lane I wanted to ripe your heart out and he wanted to ripe mine out. If we ever asked for a head start the response would have been laughter first followed by some comments I would get banned for. Ha ha, head start now that's funny stuff there.

I have been there at Irwindale and watched. You are right it is street racing at the track, and the negotiations are key.

Here are a few things I see.

a)Racers are racing with the shows money, it only costs $20 for a tnt night, and the show picks the cars they want to use.

b) it is drawing alot of cars/people we do not normally see to the track, which is helping a stuggling track to make some money and stay open.

c) I love bracket racing my junk, but I'll run in thier format if I'm picked, and hopefully make a few bucks. You are not putting up your own money.

d) unless they change it up you will not see the tree used. We were told before negotiations on a buddy's car if we used the tree and won it would not pay any money but we could race again later on.

I have mixed feelings about the whole deal, hopefully it will help the track. Also it could get a few more people interested in drag racing again.

Gayer than a bag of wieners.

Sorry I missed it; must have been watching Honey Boo Boo.

Nothing says it better than this now famous pic.
Funny as hell then, even funnier now:

This only further deminishes the credibility of our sport in the publics eye like NHRA has done to the racers.They have commercialized and dramatized only to make a mockery of the sport we love.It's no wander racing is going down hill.
