I can provide some insight ..

Now, I by no means support the actions but, I know a few of the people on the show ..


Street racing in the south is prevalent, its just what they do there .

Are the cars fast ?


easy answer, yes ..very fast ..how fast ??

well, hard to tell, they at track days N/T most passes ..


but ,my close friend, had(has) a low 8 2nd car he drove on the street ..

and his brother (had/has) a mid 8 2nd car he drives on the street...


Fort Worth area has many, many low 9 2nd cars on the street ..

The street races are for lack of a better word

are "organized "


It is Kinda like the show, showed ....kinda


My buddy tumbled his car on a 10 grand + race
in Mexico (OKC) ..Its semi-famous place they race in a industrial area ..

He actually won, just could not slow the car down and , spun out and hit the curb ..


They don't like , or want to bracket race, they have no interest in it ..


They want to go fast, fast guy wins, for a large amount of money


Think .. "Just like the old days" ..


I preach to not do it, but .. they do it regardless..


Its underground, its illegal, its fast , its dangerous .. They know it



It is what it is ...



gotta admit, the places to race are going away.. people will always push cars to the limit ..



They try to stay off city streets


The show, is a bit fake but, there is a lot of it that's true
