Quote: I think part that is false. The show HAS got many people into the ideal of at least having some type of hot rod that befor never considerd a car/truck anything more then a way back and forth to work. I have a neph. That now wants to buy my 69 satellite tubb it and put a procharged hemi into and take to car show. Mostly because of the street outlaw show. Which up to bout 3 weeks ago (because of me) he had never even heard of the show. Im sure hes not the only one...
You're missing it still. I did not say SO's does not bring new people into the hobby, I'm sure it does.
The point is, our hobby (hot rodding, racing, modifying cars as we wish) is always under the threat of "something", beit laws that outlaw nitrous systems in street cars, laws that forbid engine swaps or vehicle modifications, etc. The glorification of street racing only serves to further burnish the opinions of those that would love to continue to push their anti-racing/hotrodding/whatever agenda on the rest of us.
