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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTk_KiCIbA8&feature=youtu.be 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

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? If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

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. Master, again and still

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. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

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. Last edited by Just-a-dart; 03/03/13 06:12 PM.

The only thing worse than watching that preview is knowing that 2 of our Moparts members are going to be in the first show and negotiated for technically the head start and they both lost. I want to negotiate so I leave last. That would leave rich (the host) or whatever his name is speechless. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I was on this show with the dart and lost i think it will be cool to be on tv. win or lose. but as some of you no irwindale race way got shut down.this show like it or not has saved our track and gave all us racers some place to race again. I will be the first to admit the show could be better. but it is a form of drag racing so I would like to thank the LUCAS family and rich. for coming out to irwindale. rumor has it the north east will be the next stop In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb

Are you saying that the only reason they started up again was in anticipation of a promise of the show shooting there? How has the filming effected the regular TNTers who aren't in the show? Do they get as many runs as on the nights when they don't film? Thanks for any info, looking forward to checking this track out but not for reasons of the show being there.

Feb had the most cars I've seen in a long time. If you don't want to be around the show comeout the 2nd or 4th thursday of the month and please buy into the king of the hill bracket. $10 watch, $20tnt, $20 buy in K.O.H bracket 100% to winner or split racers decide. I guarantee you will not be the only Mopar there. Also 1st Summit race of the year this sunday, limited tnt will be available. Last edited by Just-a-dart; 03/04/13 08:43 PM.
