The thing I don't understand about this show is how real racers can say they actually enjoy this show. 10 fastest street cars my butt. And why are they always trailering their cars to the race site? We saw last night exactly how slow these cars are without NOS. 50 minutes of BS and about 7 minutes of racing after subtracting advertizing minutes. And saying that truck is in the top 10 is a major laugh.
Duhhh I forgot to open the bottle.

It looked like Maybe a 13 second pass if you ask me. The guy that beat him was more excited than a 6 year old on Christmas morning. That was one ugly race.

Doc my son and I dropped his transmission off last Wednesday and stopped at a local wing and brew pub and we watched it but it was hard to hear. I later DVR'ed it as I really wanted to give the show a fair chance. Pretty sure it was Wednesday night on disc channel. Its set to record now but won't be for long. I was real lucky last night and I got to watch it in the emergency room. Temperature was up over 103 and I guess I have Pneumonia. Lucky me.

I wish they could have more about the cars and less about the drama between the racers and the drama between the racers and their families.

If it was my show I'd make it into more of a contest-based reality show. I'd make it a contest to see who has the quickest street-legal, street-driven car in the nation and it would be settled at a real drag strip.

Every run I have seen on that show would have resulted in 1st round loser around here. No wonder these guys street race they all suck at the starting line. Are these supposed to be heads up runs? It seems like every race one of the cars pulls a 3 car length hole shot. Well at least its better than watching a bunch of hillbilly clowns playing with their duck calls.

I'm pretty sure the goal is to present these guys as fringe extremists and outlaws rather than "normal" people who enjoy cars. Just like preppers, moonshiners, gun nuts, drug dealers and taboo freaks... The show's producers don't care about actually showing the racers in any sort of positive light, and they surely don't care about cars. They add the drama because they want non-car people to watch it even if it is fake "made-for-TV" kind of BS.

I like the street that they found that had a lot of temp lighting keeping everything bright... some of the lower top ten cars look like some 11 second cars to me..

Because they are SUPPOSED to be "OUTLAW Street Racers".... criminals living on the fringe of society - doing illegal activities in the dark. (well as dark as they could make it look like with a bunch of light towers putting out thousands of watts of light) LOL

I don't understand why some of you guys have your panties in a bunch over this "reality" show? Just like Sons Of Guns and their ability to shoot a tank with a .22 and it explodes in to a million pieces, some of this show is going to be fabricated too. That's TV. As long as the false drama is held to a minimum, it'll be good. Did you think Discovery Channel is just going to go out there and dump a bunch of money in to a TV show and hope and pray it all just works out? Damn right they're going plan how things will go down and do what they can do to make sure a show gets produced. Who cares if the police block off the street and they've got portable lights? They're still racing on an un-prepped street. Back in the day at Doty Rd in chicago the police would run through there once every hour and chase everyone away. then we'd go across the highway and wait at the gas station for awhile and then go right back out to the same street. It sucked. We'd be lucky to see 5 races all night. Is that interesting TV? Hell no!! Used to be able to run at Doty but then all the Fast and Furious fags started coming out with their hondas and crotch rockets and next thing you know there's 500 people out there standing in the road, running bikes up and down the road at random when people are trying to race, drawing all kinds of attention and the cops, and that was the end of real street racing at that location. Been years since I've been over there but I'm guessing not much has changed.

As long as the races are legit and the money is real, I say props to these OKC guys for figuring out how to to get the racing done WITHOUT police harassment. Does this show look bad in the eyes of NHRA and to those of us who only race at a track? Yeah, a little bit. But it is what it is and it's gonna happen whether you like it or not. Someone should come up with a grudge show that's based at a track if they don't like it. I think it could be just as good. Hell, the format of THIS show would still work if they raced at a legit track. Whatever, I'll still watch. Not a lot of TV racing you can watch these days based on real grass roots people so I'll take what I can get.

I'll watch this show. I like the cars. Are they the fastest street cars in the country? No. But we all think our car is the fastest [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] out there so why would we expect these dudes to be any different?

Getting off my high horse now....
