I'm wondering how ProCharger feels about their product on the show now. They have one failure after another. Don't see that w/ the turbos unless the motor eats a valve, but obviously that's no fault of the turbo. If you run a procharged car, you better keep a spare (or 2) in the trailer. When you have a procharger in your grille, with nothing to stop debris from getting in, and are running down the street, it no wonder those things eat themselves.

Glad you are my friend Chip.
Some if yall don't have a clue on what these cars require.
MSD 8 has a very hot spark. I run the old school MSD 7 (7531) An MSD 8 isn't a mag. Nor will it ever be. Ever run a mag? I doubt it or you wouldn't say how great the MSD 8 is compared to a mag. You ever ran a 4 second pass in a door car? Didn't think so.

Can't tell you how many guys need a mag and won't run one. It's stupid.

Yes, the show is about over with now. List racing was always dumb ass hell anyway. No real street racer would want to be on a list for bragging rights. You just win & keep everyone guessing how fast you really are. The Brotherhood never matters when it comes to winning. Sure all of us racers will pull parts off of our own cars to keep someone else going if needed but once you roll up to the line it's game on.

I have found that if I start watching the show at 9:20 in can fast forward through the farm truck and his buddies crap, advertisements, and other bs and finish up in time to catch the 10:00 news.

That is a sad testament to how far the show has fallen. I think a big part of it is on us as viewers. In our perfect world we in our mind would take JJ's show, Street Outlaws, and the Wednesday no prep show and come up with the perfect mix of personalities, cars, and rules. I'm still "all in" with the show every week and even look forward to it but I think we as racers could produce a pretty dog gone good drama-less show. Well ok we gotta have some drama and a lot more pretty girls flagging the races and doing sparkplug changes for the guys.

My wife and I caught some of the show. It was pretty much the same old crap. We were flippin back and forth from Street Outlaws to Old Tractors on PBS. The old tractor show was more intersting as I almost bought a restored 1928 John Deere GP last week... I have Dad's '39 Farmall F-20 sitting in my shop. I gave it to him for his 62nd birthday. He gave it back when he passed just before his 82nd.

What's the verdict on last nights episode? Reaper is at his wits end with Quiff, I mean Chief. Sometimes I think Reefer would like to punch himself in the head instead of constantly shooting himself in the foot. The only thing I like about Chief is when they show his big head on tv you can usually still see past it and take a peek at his girlfriend

I'd catch big quiff where no one could see us and show him how easy it would be to beat his ass with no one watching. If that didn't correct his ghetto [censored], then maybe some time in the can would be worth it. I can't say because I don't know how much time he might get. He wouldn't need to bust him up big. Just punk that [censored] until he understands you are not a doormat. I was also pissed that after Ryan and Chuckles decided to override the clique, the forced Reaper to defend his spot after he won and raced up. I was just last week when the junk [censored] Pontiac puked something and no one made him run. I don't like chicken [censored]. Don't know much about Oklahoma, but if the [censored] going on there went on where I grew up, there would be some pretty big dentist and doctor bills getting rung up.

Let the hate begin. I have zero tolerance for street racers or anything that even comes close to promoting street racing. Take their cars and lock them up.
