Quote: 405 has a gimmick.It works.Non prepped concrete and they hook and go and you can only live in the 405.PT Barnum had the same business model.The show will only show them winning.Its about the number of viewers.I don't blame them for taking the money from Discovery and going with it.Do I think they can go and compete with what I think determines the fastest street car aka DragWeek NO.
There is a massive thread over on YB about this and there are a few that share your opinion. Discovery Channel is growing the audience season by season and even week by week. That is a good thing for all of us drag racers.
There is much more positive than negative about this show for our hobby/sport. Drag racing needs this kind of exposure.
Even the carping about how fast (or not) the 405 guys really are is good because it keeps the show current in more people's minds. But it does show that those that are doing the carping just do not get the most important elements of the show.
