Now I admit Chuck's car is fast,and give him credit, but if the two met at any local street race spot and were setting up a race, no way would the N/A car accept a heads up race. And by the way, OKC prepped the road and was making passes that afternoon for several hours as its 4 miles from my house. Someone,(not me) posted video on youtube of that. 1970 'Cuda,Lime Light,499 Indy S/R's 10.70's @125,street driven ALOT! 1966 Barracuda 360,now a 5spd,Hemi Orange,Hot Rod Air, New daily driver-2003 Ram 2500 Cummins 5.9 '69 Valiant 2-dr, sleeper!

Come on a twin turbo "3000 hp" car against a 950(maybe)hp all motor car. Sounds like we SHOULd know the outcome. They stated in the show it was N/A, according to Daddy Dave from the YB thread, he had the bottle on it as well to race chief. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

And a lot better for me than most other stuff on TV. VA back in the day was ridiculous with street racing. There was a guy from Roanoke that traveled the state every weekend. My wife and I were dating and I saw this guy up Northern VA tearing up them guys bill folds. That is a good 4 hour ride. I work all over and would see him trailering everywhere. Several guys from Roanoke won Orlando. They owned that place for several years. In my hometown every time there was a new highway built it was quickly stripped with rubber in both lanes just about every place you could imagine decent enough to run. There are still guys around that do this stuff but, they have a list of excuses and pretty much only run stock suspension and small tires now. I don't condone street racing. There have been a lot of close calls here. Mostly with the people fighting to try and get in front of each other driving to "The spot". Never seen a car trailered to a street race. That said, most all the out of town guys hauled into town. Nothing like hearing two beast ripping it up in the night. It is just a lot safer and better for me and my family to just watch Street Outlaws and enjoy. I would love the chance to race some of these guys on a no prep surface. We actually have one available. New London and in no prep it is every bit the challenge as any street. Leon Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

Bode is a 706 with a few stages, Izzy is a turbo deal the other two are nitrous small blocks/ Also FWIW I would highly doubt Gypsy Mike had a bottle in his car. Unless he swapped motors just to run the race, which I doubt as well. His NA deal is a Hot Street motor. I think if you opened a nitrous bottle near one they would blow up I have known some of those guys for a long time and know what they are capable of running.

Somewhere I saw Daddy Dave downplaying his loss (?) in Chicago because he got into gravel or out of the groove. But the California guys got off the pavement and it proves their cars are slow? Shawn was sweating bullets against the Vega, and the guy goes off the road and suddenly he can beat that car anywhere?

Spite of going to run a car BrandX, I'm getting fan of the farmtruck because besides seem to be the only real street car, seems to me they are the ones that entertain and take the thing always with good humor.

Well they could always race in mud if they really want to show us something.. Or bring them up to Wisconsin and do some ice racing since they never seem to want to film that show at any temperature above 40 degress anyway.
