B!tch all you want. Street Outlaws is still the coolest drag racing show on TV. And although a technicality, a red light is a red light and means a loss at every drag race I have ever attended. As is crossing the line. Have you raced anywhere that those rules were different? And EVERYBODY'S phone has a camera now. Do you really think that the producers of that show could pull much crap and not get called on it? With video to back it up? Street Outlaws is not perfect, but it is a lot of fun to watch. Just relax and watch some street racing from the comfort of your easy chair. We don't get that very often and I hope it lasts a while longer. Just for fun. And remember, for most of us, it is only entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.  
Master, again and still

Chucky's race was petty BS! Splitting hairs
Petey Smallblock should have knocked that little Boosted dude right out of his shoes. Said he jumped.
2 bogus races in a row.
Splitting hairs??? You jump you're out.....you cross the center you're out. I fail to see the confusion. And if you roll it back to the race, you saw Dave way it off immediately as a jump, as soon as the cars left, well before he knew the outcome.

If that was discussed in the beginning then all is good. It was, I think it was Chief that said it was agreed upon before any races happened. Dennis

I think the concrete seam vs. the white line was a little iffy, but Brian paid up...
A lot of times you will hear "chase is a race", so even if you jump, if the other lane leaves, it on...
you can't argue that Chucky and the .Net Boyz were putting it down on small tires.
I like the show, only thing on TV I watch, but I'd prefer more racing, less theatrics
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

And remember, for most of us, it is only entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.  I want to see a rematch b/t Boosted and Petey. Petey's car is nasty! Big Chief just needs to hang it up w/ Kye. I thought it was hilarious when he said Chief was paying for his house! They need to change the intro of the show to say Oklahoma has the 2nd fastest street raced cars in the country. That, or invite Kye to move to OK like they did Boosted. Doc's car looked pretty impressive. Left real good. The "ATM Boys" b/c I just keep getting cash out of em, LOL!!!

It's street racing.
Around here it doesn't matter if someone jumps, if both cars leave, it's a race.
" if two cars leave, it's a race"
" a chase is a race"
That's why Petey didn't want to pay, even if he did jump, boosted still left too.
That's the way it works around here.

If all that was explained to everyone right up front, then it is what it is. Also, I did see that Daddy Dave pointed out the guy racing Boosted as having jumped as soon as they left. I couldn't tell from the video replay of the start how blatant it was, though.

From DAY ONE on Street Outlaws.......it has been made clear, you jump, you LOSE......you cross, you LOSE. What is done elsewhere is irrelevant.
And while Petey's jump was no doubt close, if you are boosted and you are watching Dave, how you going to be able to call that as a jump and just sit there. Too close..........but Dave called it immediately.
You also have to remember, Discovery is filming this with multiple camera angles. So one scene, Boosted and Petey are headed off to settle it. Go to commercial and come back, all is good. While we may not have seen it shown clearly on TV, you can BET they were shown on site on more than a laptop screen
