The show has gotten better as time goes on. I can only hope Farm-truck and his obnoxious buddy are off farming this year and to busy to show up. Real drag race engine soundtracks would be nice too.

Caught a few minutes of an episode tonight.Apparently when you pump huge loads of nitrous through an engine it stsrts to sound like an Indy car at the stripe.

Farm Tuck and Azn bring some levity to the show. They like to have fun. What's wrong with that?

I agree Azn & Farm Truck are funny. I personally like the show and was looking forward to the new season. Guess I was not alone or there wouldn't be a new season. Lol.

That VW junk should have never been in any thoughts of being a top 10 car. The farmtruck and ASS are poor fillers for the show. What I saw last night was a bunch of bottom 5 car rolling over for Chief.


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

Those "bottom five" don't look too shabby to me. And Chief's Pontiac didn't seem to need any help winning.


Master, again and still

I'd bet that Pontiac is the fastest car they have. The butlers have been low 6's with that combination.

If I want stupid funny I will watch Steinfeld re-runs. I've been a regular show watcher since the show started and slowly the have weeded the silliness out and that is GREAT. A racing show should be about racing. Not corniness.

What a setup. Farmtruck spots chief first so he can build boost then he turns to his left to light the flashlight after he spots the second driver. Did this every race. I like the cars that why I watch.

This doesn't require brain surgery to figure out...........The cars in the bottom 5 are fast, but NOT THAT fast. The cars don't get into the 4 second range until you get up to about number 5. So the lower cars "rolling over" for Chief is not what happened. He just has WAY more power and if he just goes down, which he did, they couldn't beat him even if they ran a best ever. And you will also notice all the cars at the bottom are "small tire" cars. NOT conducive to getting big power down a city street. The "fastest" of the small tire cars is Chuck's Mustang. It has been 5.0s at the track, but can't make that kind of pass on the street. The "big tire" cars on the show make 4 sec passes "on the street" on a regular basis.

The show can be corny at times, but there is nothing fake about the cars or the racing. Now the producers do TRY and arrange races to get the cars THEY want at the top of the list, but so far that has not worked.

Season 3 is done and season 4 is shooting right now. Season 3 ended with a NEW number 1 and it is not the car most think, nor one the producers WANTED there.

I was in Paducah KY Saturday night with "Doc" and "Monza". They did an appearance at Beacon Dragway and made some passes with the boards off. They both had tunes in the cars they had just run in Texas "on the street". I saw the slips and the data from both cars. I won't give the ETs, but will only say that if you want to roll with these guys, your ride better "easily" make 4 sec blasts down a city street

Reality shows are hokey no matter what the subject. The actors dance for the camera.

Maybe so............but the two "dancers" at Beacon Dragway got paid a healthy sum to show up. Both sold over $3000 worth of T-shirts and the place was packed with people to see them. When they fired the cars to roll to the lanes, the crowd would start cheering

I personally like the show and enjoy it as I had to quit street racing but still like to watch it. I just would like to see them run the east coast and Georgia boys and run on some asphalt.

I think it has gotten much better, they seemed to have listened to people's feedback and now we have less drama and hijinks and a lot more racing.

My only gripe now is the way they edit the races. Too much back and forth cutting between the various camera angles. I don't need to see multiple Go-pro shots of closeups of the tires as it goes down the road.

Just show the entire race as a long shot since it's only going to be 4-6 seconds anyway, then go back and show all the special angles and slow motion as a replay.
