I know were I'll be tonight from 9pm to 11pm.

Front and center for me 2-nite

Yahoo!

I will DVR it and start watching an hour or so into it. If not, there will be war with the wife because I start my ADD/OCD/whatever else I have and channel surf.

Better to start later and just skip the commercials.

I'm going to try, but I don't think I'll make it to 11.

Dennis

That's really the smart way to do it but with the long program (2 hour) I'll stick it out. I would LOVE to know how much they make in advertising dollars during this show. Big money with it being so popular and I'm happy about it as it keeps the show around as others die off.

The early start times is one of the few nice things about the left coast time zone.

I'll still be in bed by 21:30 without a fight with the better half!!

The wife already knows I get the tv at 8:00! Can't stand watching the Voice....

Make it up to her by watching the Victoria Secrete show with her tomorrow night. Ohhhhhh ya.

DVR!

Ha Richard Clark gotta mouthful of Chuck's fist!

stupid Canadian discovery channel put it on sundays and 2 weeks behind you guys. I will have to borrow a copy from the internet or buy it on youtube like usual

. Ya a sucker punch

The guy deserved it for shoving a guy that was just in a bad accident...

Didn't hurt my feelings any.

Clark's a complete jerk. But Chuck shouldn't have butted in on Dave's behalf and sucker punched the guy. How many teeth did Clark lose?

Not enough?

Dave is a cool guy and a hell of a driver was and still is after the tv show.

Chuck might be on the short side, but he packs a hell of a wallop! He busted up that face pretty good with one shot!

.

Ya throw coffee at someone and your expecting NOT to get punched??? Lol. really?

The 'Bullet is lit up on this thing. Some interesting Monday morning quarterbacking going on.

exactly no sucker punch he got what he deserved and bravo to Chuck for defending his friend who he knew is still busted up from the crash.

Well if I watched the same show , Dave is the one that started that crap. Called them man a Bi""h. Coffee wouldn't be the only thing I would throw at someone. Now the other guy may have been talking smack but if Dave was well enough to drive and talk crap. He should have handled his own business. To me it made Dave look like the Bi'ch. As far as Chuck , Come on cheap shots to make himself look like a Bad man. My 2 cents

Mr. Clark has been talking smack on the inrernet. After the coffee was thrown Dave was pushed. Chuck was sticking up for Dave.






Ray

Who cares about the punch....Monte is going to be busy installing NOS systems in barbequed cars. and the Vega is no joke. I expect him to move up quick.

Wonder how many Crower shirts they will sale today? they seemed to prevail last night, great show last night.
I am sure there was some antagonizing going on prior off camera to make Dave do that, Clark got what he deserved after throwing coffee or whatever it was.....

It's funny how quick people want to scrap with someone who is injured.

I came out of hospital on a Friday. That Sunday, what was supposed to be a good friend, took a shot at me. Other friends stopped it. Any other time he would have been looking for his teeth. It's been 15 years, he wants to be buds again. This elephant don't forget.

The show has returned to its roots with the BS. But good racing. What is with Shane and that Vega. With the speed of that thing you would have thought he would be climbing the ladder. Good news more drag racing spin off TV. Looks like Kye gets his own show.

Trash talk is part of the street racing game.
Guess you missed where he told Dave "F" you.

I'm amazed at how many people don't see the "arrest, bail, attorney needs $10,000, 5 court appearances, miss work, finally get probation + $1,000 court costs" train wreck coming with these bad-ass remarks.
Someone does something you don't like, you break his teeth, he HAS to have you arrested or he pays his own dentist.

I was wondering about Shane and the Vega as well. He's gotten alot faster since getting on the list. I don't remember his car leaving as hard as it did last night. I would have given him the Most Shocking trophy.

What about the last 3 minutes where Discovery Channel is moving Street Outlaws to Louisiana. Other than the racing, the 405 was getting stale. As #1 and #2 stated no one else is coming after them that they can't beat. More or less, most everyone reached a plateau on the 405 list and the outside competition proved that the 405 is not the fastest. There are a lot of wannabees. It takes lots of time and cash to keep those cars running well on a weekly basis.This is a good migration for the show. How about every 2 years they move to a new state. Who very though "Pinks" would move drag racing to these heights.

Ya start [censored] with someone like Dave did and your expecting NOT to get punched??? Lol. really?

Those dudes get carried away with the crap talk. Saw Doc last week say something along the lines of Boosted being a punk. The stuff's uncalled for, and IMO they should stop letting the producers wind them up to act that way if it's not their real character. And if it is their true character? Well, you play silly games you win silly prizes.

Is it a move or a spin off.

Well everyone has their opinions on the fight and the cause, all I can say is if you well enough to drive and talk Sh"t , you better be able to back that mouth up. Nuff said on my part !!

That's all part of street/grudge racing.
I don't wanna watch a big hug fest where everyone is always buddy buddy.
That's not real.

Spin off.

I talked to a guy that was there for the Detroit shows. He said the current list is quite a bit different than what we are seeing on TV right now. I can't wait for the new season and the new show.

Dennis

if the Louisiana , New Orleans show is as shown on the commercial , I don't think it will last long. There'll be no talking , all you will here is beep beep beep. Smack talking is one thing ,but a bunch of unintelligent loud mouths yelling over each other is not my interest. Just shut up!!!!. If I want to watch a bunch of @#$%^&*()_ yelling I'll tune in to CNN The show is about cars and racing, get back to it.

Just like the fighting, some people eat that stuff up with a spoon and the producers know it.

I'm willing to bet it's encouraged by the producers. Although there is a YouTube video of Chuck giving a handicapped guy in a Cutlass a hard time. Chuck will either get his or arrested IMHO. Doesn't matter how tough you are there is always someone tougher.

I have a feeling it won't create the same interest and following as Street Outlaws.

Chucks lack of self control shows his true character. Love the show but if it turns into the grunge racing, studio wrestling crap I'm done with it. To much work in the shop to deal with that.

I posted in the other thread........during the "drivers meeting" the producer himself stepped in and told the guys to "ratchet it up a little" and he stepped out and they continued the shot. Not many like Clark anyway, so he was the one they chose to "get on". He couldn't take the fact that they were getting on HIM and he got out of control and threw the coffee. I was there and thought he got what he deserved.

Truth is, most of these guys are friends and all get along just fine. Even the out of town guys for the most part, because they all know each other. So much of the "drama" is at the encouragement of the producer and after the "shot" is over, they go back to laughing and cutting up. That was the case here, they were all joking around and the producer wanted MORE and boy did he get it. Clark was out of line.

The "list" is way different, because obviously they race every week and you are seeing on TV what happened months ago.

The Louisiana show is a spin off and several episodes have been shot. Some guys from here went down for a taping and raced.

Chuck may have collected Clarks teeth, but he was not the only one who got a piece of him in the altercation

Shane recently went from an F2 Pro-Charger to an F3, so the car is faster and gets down the road pretty well, but he won't have enough for the top 4 or 5 cars, when they make a clean shot

Monte I respect your opinion and you were there but from this side of the TV screen it looks like Dave was running his mouth from the very beginning of the show and "Clark" had had enough smack talk directed directly at him.
Coming from a guy that can loose his temper at the wrong moment I think Dave and maybe the producers egged that fight on. I still see no reason Chuck should have stepped in on a fight he had no dog in.

I am so glad I live were I live and was raised in a different time. I said it before and I'll say it again. You couldn't pay me enough to act like that. Punk out punk on

Clark is from Oklahoma and has a LOT to say, a LOT of the time, that you DON'T see on TV.............that's all I'm saying. What you see on camera is not ALL that happens or is said.

No way the producer wanted an actual fight.......just amped up a bit. He got more than he bargained for.

James(Reaper) is the one that can really get hot and go off, and that NOBODY wants to mess with. Has taken him a good bit to realize that much of it is put on for the camera, when guys are ragging him. Seen him so mad his eyes are rolled back in his head and ready to blow......LOL!!! Then 5 minutes later, the guy who pushed his buttons is telling him, "man that was good, you did good".......this of course AFTER, Jerry, Doc or Dave has managed to calm James down........lol!!!

Agreed !!!!

That is why I said what I did , You were there , I won't. From my side of the screen it didn't make those 405 guy's look good.

So if Clark said "F" you, to you, like he did to Dave, what would YOUR reaction be?
Dave simply said something back, and that fact that he thew coffee at him, just proves Dave was right....

Dave had been talking crap all night about this guy. If Clark would have said F""" you to me , I would have made sure I was the one who made him loose his teeth. Not some friend or body guard.. Chuck was out of line ,and took a freaking cheap shot.

That's what I said after his spitting episode. He showed his character or the lack of, depending on how you look at it.

Yeah, he looks like he would clean ANY of their clocks, in last weeks show when Chief and Shaun went to his shop they even leaving commented not wanting to run into him in a dark alley.
His car is obviously bad fast, but maybe not quite adjusted or set up for the street...yet.

Limited experience watching the show (don't have cable and don't have time, show seems really good though) and haven't seen the episode in question but it seems like all the involved parties (Chuck, Dave, Clark) all seem like a$$ hats in this instance

Chuck, like Farmtruck and Azn has to do something "unique" in order to stay on the show since they are not competitive anymore. Is Chuck even on the list?

First the spitting episode and now sucker punching a guy and doing some real damage. Chuck is making himself a target in more ways that one.

When's the last time you saw someone get their teeth knocked out on national television?

Holly Holm--Ronda Rousey..

WOW of all the races Dave couldn't pick a worse time to fall asleep on the light

I don't know if it's been mentioned before in this thread, but listen to the podcasts that Chief and Shawn do after each show airs. They speak pretty freely about everything, and they have had Chuck, Dave and Derek on. They are entertaining and interesting.

Thanks for the behind the scenes input Monte, I have never watched this show till this season, bits & pieces I have seen in years past turned me off and I quickly turned the channel as it seemed way to made up but watched probably all of this year and found it something I had to tune into.
Our company paid a huge role in the filming/building of a "Extreme Makeover" house years ago which really left us with a bad taste of reality shows and how much they or actually how LITTLE they, the stars or characters did, as in absolutely nothing with attitudes so big I wondered how they could get those big heads they had into their million dollar motor-coaches that they hung out in 99% of the day, they had 4 or 5 on site. LOL

Whos going to Host the new season Big Chief or Kye ? cant see Kye being much of a talker, Chief iv gotten use to and does well.

There is 2 different shows...

He wasn't sleeping. The trans was hurt in the Vette after the second round and it was completely toast in final. Coulda, shoulda, woulda but Kye had nothing for the Vette, had it made a clean pass. It was fastest car by far all night. We were going to pull the trans from the Reaper car for him in the final, but he thought it would make it...........didn't. Car didn't move when he let go of it.

They ALL dodged a bullet when the El Camino had a bad draw first round. That car is BAD fast and it was their first time on the street. They misjudged the road and had it WAY soft. If they would have had a "duck" first round and got another crack at road, it could have been the car to beat. He had a couple top notch tuners there and they just didn't think the road was THAT good. The road also cost Reaper and Doc. They were both WAY too soft and the cars dead hooked and shook the tires at the hit.

Can't give out much info, except to say that Doc has made some suspension changes since that night and the big Monte is flat out flying right now.

Had to get several of them to go away from their "street" setups, to more of a race oriented deal, because those roads get pretty damn good, after a lot of "pimp juice" burnouts and the rubber starts sticking. A bunch of them were just crushing the tires and shaking. Even on a road.......wheel speed is your friend with a big tire and a lot of power.

The weekend after Cash Days, Doc made some changes at the track while doing an appearance and the car rang up some high 1.0 sixty foots and that is the setup he is running on street now

Why wasn't Monza racing Monte.??




Chris..

Monza didn't have a new motor in the car in time to be ready.

I like the show, and yeah you can tell when the producers step in to "create" or "amp up" the drama...the only thing I don't really like (which is typical of all these reality shows) is the way they "groundhog day" and spend 5 minutes recapping what happened in the last 10 minutes before the commercial break...I think everyone watching the show would get tired of that. Essentially they take 40 minutes of content and stretch it to an hour. But then again they make a 5 second 1/8th mile race last 45 seconds on film. lol.

It'd be cool if (just once) they showed a race 'Real Time'....just to give the people who don't know some perspective of just how FAST these racers are moving...then they can also get a sense of how quickly things go on inside the car and in the driver's minds.

I don't know who taught the producers how to film a drag race, but it sure the hell wasn't someone who enjoys watching drag races.

I dont watch the show(I have a few times) but I'm
not into all the drama BS... seems like a lot of
the people that commented are into the drama.. all
they basically have talked about is someone punching
someone else... not much about the racing... no thanks

This show had the most races of any episode. I'm with you, I turn the channel when there is some pretexted story line trying to be presented. I have enough work to do in my own garage rather than watching someone else.

GO TO TIM MCAIMS FACEBOOK AND SEE MURDER NOVA IS HAVING A PRO MOD CAR BUILT FOR HIM,WILL THE REST FOLLOW WITH PRO MOD CARS SINCE CHIEF AND MURDER NOVA HAS ONE TO KEEP UP AND CLAIM THERE THE FASTEST

I'm glad they have the money to spend and the freedom to buy what they want with it.

Light is Right.






Ray

For any attending the PRI show........Goliath II will be on display in the QA-1 booth and Chief's new ride will be there, but not sure where........plus most of the guys will be there in attendance as well.

I cant be there this year. Have fun.

He had broken a rod in his conventional headed 632. He bought a spread port 632 with two carbs to go in car. Needed new headers, some plumbing, etc. Had it in and running in time, but had no testing and decided to save his $1000 entry fee, in lieu of flying blind.

Cool that they will be there! How much are they getting paid?

Well this truth will butthurt all the conspiracy theorists and the tin foil hat crowd on here and YB.

Thay all thought Jerry was disrespected, all the "fast" cars weren't invited etc.

Unreal what people dream up in their pointy heads.

Looks like this promod thing is catching fire

Hopefully it ends up a douible frme rail car.

I watch the show......... But I watch "less" of it lately. I don't mean fewer episodes, just less of each episode.
It is becoming what all "reality" tv shows become. It's no longer about whatever the premise was that originally got viewers to tune in and watch, and has become a platform for "personalities" and conflict/drama.
I watch the cars run, but the skip through the rest of the BS.

^^ I love my dvr, don't have to watch the bs or commercials.

Monte,

Which el camino was it? Since it went out in the first round so I'm sure it didn't get much airtime. And they didn't really give much info on any of the non 405 cars, though they had PLENTY of TIME to repeat the drama during the post commercial recaps, lol

One looks like a pro mod

It's a camaro... it was posted somewhere he picked it up for like 100k or whatever.

It was mentioned before they don't get paid much for the show... I still find that hard to believe!

Speaking of the cars... What's with the Astre with the vega nose? (anybody catch that?)

Cheif's car is a Firebird.. and goliath 2 is a remake of goliath....

A farm truck t shirt is $25 and they are everywhere here. Forty t shirts for $1000 makes them some good cash! Appearances are paid for them to sun and sell t-shirts. They do all right.

Yep, saw the tail lights.

Yeah, I caught it. I had to ask my brother what Pontiac Called it because its been so long since I seen one. The front end is a vega piece. IIRC Pontiac's was different with the trademark vertical split in the grille. The Pontiac taillights gave it away the first time there was a close-up of the rear. Beep

Astre is better looking trim anyway.

Vega nose is probably a whole lot easier to find than an Astre.

Yeah he has a '76-'77 Vega one piece front on it, but still has the Astre taillights. I think that year front is probably closest to looking like the stock Astre front, plus he has holes cut in it with the characteristic V in center.

He probably calls it "The Vega" because 90% of the people that see it have probably never heard of the Astre model...just avoids confusion.

$100 K, that's a lot of t shirts! Or a lot of dyno tunes and race wins.

Don

From what I have read, Here is the two he was picking from. Looks like he went with the blue Firebird

Crow Mod the new car

yup looks to me it's the blue one repainted and other stuff done to it

The Crowmod!

That is a good looking car, pro mod or not!

So they're having reveals now, like American Chopper? Seems dumb to me but if I was cashing the checks, it'd make perfect sense.

Good for the SO guys.

Make bank while the sun is shining.

Daddy Daves nova.

Well, at least they are racing doorslammers, and haven't made the move to floppers or pipe racks......yet!!

Dave says his isn't a pro mod like Chiefs. Right……right.

Crowmod. Jumpin' the shark....

What does that mean?

It's a Pro Mod chassis with a carbon fiber shell that loosly resembles a Firebird. It could be a Camaro, a Corvette, or a Pinto tomorrow if you hung a different shell on it.

Not hating the car - it's BAD-ASS, and I'm sure it will be impressive to watch run. But in reality, the "Crowmod" on the side describes it a lot closer than calling it a "Firebird".

Also just realized that Dominator was a no show too..

What's up with that.??


Chris..

Dominator has a new engine build he is working on and had not had time to test and tune it yet. He wanted to make sure that he didn't lose more then $1000 dollar entry fee.

Mike

I would never do what they are doing but that show has really grown on me. The cash days deal was exciting to watch. I was thinking about NOS at some point, I'm over that now.

I think you should consider building a car to compete with the S.O. cars. You'd be the only Predator guy out there.

Just a thought..................................

Too afraid to get hurt, and I'll admit that I don't have the time, know how, or money. It looks like fun though.

I'm hip to all that. LOL

I'm Glad he stayed with the nova that car is a Bad mother.

I agree. You can be put in jail for hitting somebody. No matter what was said. The law draws the line...

Chief, Dave, Kye Kelley, Andrade and the Dung Beetle, were the SO cars I saw at PRI. When any one of those guys were IN the booth, where their cars were displayed, you couldn't get near it. So while some may feel the "reveals" are a little over the top, you couldn't tell that by the crowds clamoring to see the cars and the stars at PRI.

Reaper, Doc, Monza, Jackie(Sonoma), Farmtruck, Murder Nova and probably some I didn't see were in attendance.

Doc, Jerry(Monza) and myself were trying to go from the convention center to the Mall for lunch on Thursday. Probably took us 45 minutes to walk over there, because of people wanting pics and autographs and the guys NEVER seem to turn anybody down. Much the same on Friday, when I made the same walk with Reaper.

I plumbed Doc's new EFI intake and had it on display in our booth. He and Jerry came by pretty early Thursday to look at it. In about 5 minutes, there were 50 people standing there behind them..........And the majority of the people at this show are in the industry or racers.......so what does that say about their popularity. Isn't just your average couch potatoes who like them and the show
