Looks like he was dead on with the light in slow motion.
Real time, to close to call.

I think Chucky from Detroit also got screwed.
This is street racing
Too many stips all in favor of the 405.
Those guys drove a lot of hours to participate only to get hosed

Here is the deal, right or wrong..........this is STREET racing, not on the track racing. So there is no beams, no lights, no trees and all up to human split second decisions. Did Petey "jump" REALLY close call. Was the car MOVING before the light flash, YES. Rocking, rolling a little, whatever, the car MOVED. So if you are the one in between two cars, lighting a flash light and see a car move in the least bit before you click the light, you are going to likely see that as a jump, as Dave immediately did. Now those of you saying that Dave did that for the benefit of one of "his 405 guys" needs punched in the mouth. That would be a LOW CLASS move and David Comstock is NOT low class. He is a stand up guy and not one of those out of town guys had a problem with him flagging and nobody EVER has, so you can just stop that trash talk.

Plus, some of you are saying Petey's car moved the split second the light came on. There isn't a tree out there boys. If the cars moves the INSTANT the light is on, he jumped, because you can't react to whats not out there. This would be like instant green racing on a tree. If he is moving the INSTANT the flashlight comes on, he guessed, plain and simple. But he did guess REALLY close

Also, you think the guy got hosed on a technicality for crossing the line and feel bad he drove so far.........well here is a thought. Follow the rules, one of which is you cross, you LOSE.

But some and it seems pretty obvious who they are........are just gonna be "haters" and never have anything good to say or think anything is right, as well as thinking it's all fixed.......so it really doesn't matter what THEY think anyway

They need to get rid of the if you jump you lose BS.
This isn't track racing, it's street racing, there are no lights.
If two cars leave, it's a race.

Then I would just wait until the starter headed back and I'd leave and WIN. Oh wait, I'd just let you go and not chase...then it's not a race right and I'd WIN right?

WTF???

If you want 100% accurate starting and timing, go to the track. Wait, wait wait, there are timing malfunctions there too.

Screw it, lets never race again cuz it's just not fair.

BOTH cars MUST leave for it to be a race.
If you leave and I don't move, it's NOT a race.
If you let me leave and don't move, it's not a race.

I'd get into other terms, like a car, the break, and the clear, but I'm sure you wouldn't understand.
And if they pulled that non paying crap around here, the noise makers come out.

No, I get it you fool.

Why are east coast people snotty and arrogant? And why do they cloak idle threats with innuendo? He's gonna get me with his noise maker. WTF? The fact you say that says you are all mouth.


See ya.

It looks to me that the 405 can no longer claim to have the fastest cars in the nation. That is unless they convince Kye Kelley to move.

Its a show about street racers, not grunge racers. Thank God for that.

I like the show myself and at the end of the day its still a TV show. I think it would be hard to find a balance of staying on point about the race side and the TV side.

I think if one was to load up there car and go see them it might be more of a reality check then ever expected, they have some nice fast cars and look to be good drivers as well.

As a "group" sure they can. Be hard pressed to find another group of cars that fast, that close together........Now overall fastest........that's a tough claim, as I have found there is generally ALWAYS somebody, somewhere that is faster on a given day. Just like the John Doe car has beaten Kye, but was beaten by a car that Chief has beaten and then Kye is running away from Chief. EVERYBODY gets beat at sometime or another.

As far as Chief and Kye........Dave beat Kye before in the truck and Chief beat the truck before. The first Kye race was really close, the second Chief knocked the tires off and this last one, to me the car just looked slow. Kye on the other hand has made 3 VERY clean hits against Chief.

What the show HAS done, is pushed OTHER racers to get faster and come out to try and shut them up. Notice the cars they are bringing out now to try them with, are MUCH more serious rides. The Shocker, John Doe, Petey and the AV Boys cars are all VERY light, while all the 405 cars remain very heavy relatively. They are going to have to drop some weight to stay on top, as other guys with light stuff keep showing up.

Dave's new Chevy II should be light, but the rest are pretty darn heavy............because they all DID originally start out as street cars, but now they are having to race against purpose built race cars.

I saw Chief's car up close and personal when it was in Travis Quillens shop getting swapped over to alky. The thing is a tank and far from a gutted car. Still has all the stock dash, cowl, firewall, front end and suspension, roof supports and all that type stuff. Lots of uneeded weight. Kye Kellys car on the other hand is a tin can on a full tube, strut chassis, with a big motor. Supposedly the John Doe car is an ex Pro-Stocker, which means it's a panel car........LIGHT

1.

Like I've said before, I like the show but I've heard Big Chief say several times he has the fastest (street raced) car in the country. There are at least three times he hasn't. At some point just about every car that has appeared on the show was a street car. If they don't build them light it's on them.

I really like the show a lot. To me it looks like Murder Nova and maybe even Doc on a really clean pass both might be faster than Big Chief right now. I don't think the guy that raced Boosted jumped the turbo cars are rocking back and forth constantly at the start and nobody complains about that. It doesn't appear Chiefs car is even close to beating Kye's car without a lot of changes I think after getting beat 3 times in a row I would stop saying I had the fastest street car in the nation and last time im sure Chief got to test quit a bit on that local surface and still got beat pretty bad but I love the show and they all seem like a bunch of pretty good guys.

I doubt if we will hear Chief say he's the fastest after this season. Kye Kelly humbled him.

There's a vid up on the Bullet that clearly shows Boosted's car rocking at the same time.

Perhaps it's because we can't talk about those things that make noise on here....
so you have to use innuendo.
why are people from the northeast so dense? (see how that works?)
And it's not an idle threat. You fail to pay around here, you WILL be shot.

I enjoy the show and cars enough to wish they had "THE" list, a small tire list, and heck... even an N/A list would be cool!

Purpose built cars like Daves will become the norm.Monte will agree.Look at the cars on Dragweek.LOL

You boys race different than anyone I have ever heard of. When a drag race starts (whether by a light or an arm drop) and one racer just sets there.......there was still a race. Personally, I have never heard that just sitting at the line when the race starts means that there is no race. Whether on the street or on the track.

There are no Mulligans in drag racing.
