Granted, I have not seen all the episodes, but I thought it was one of the best ones that I have seen.

Finally got to see the season finale... probably the worst episode I saw this season. First they race on the track, so much for "street" outlaws, then against of a bunch of cars that couldn't get down the road. 
really? you need to take up knitting as a hobby 
I'd give it a try, but wouldn't want to step on your toes 
An hour episode and how many races did they show in that time that were even close? The CA guys were far from entertaining... at least the TX guys were somewhat entertaining.

On an unpreped track with no timing equipment.They do that for some of the people who won't race on the street. And that "track" started out slicker than most streets.

Silly question but...why not just race on a prepped track and call it a day?? I admit I watch the show...but only because it's racing related. I do think though that it really is not helping the actual sport of drag racing.
Because racing the "no prep" race, simulates something closer to street conditions and that is the allure.
I can name loads of cars, both big and small tire, that will "Kill" the Street Outlaws guys on a prepped track........so what is the purpose of racing there. But as we see, the street is another story. So far we have had a BUNCH of real race cars, call out the OKC guys, because they KNOW their stuff is fast at the track and they think "how hard can it be" to make it go down the street. Obviously its pretty damn hard.......lol!!! That twin turbo, small tire Trans Am from Texas is a VERY fast car, on the TRACK. Murder Nova has NEVER been as fast as the T/A at the track....But, the T/A looked stupid on the street

Yeah looked like a great time when the s10 landed on it's roof. Looked more like an oil down track than the street.

Chris.. 
That stuff has been up on the Bullet since a couple days after the race.
Haven't seen the real vid yet. Couple screen shots are up. I kinda wonder since the contract stated vids can't be shown until the footage airs if they can never legally post it now? 
I also find it interesting that "there wasn't enough racing" to show any of it, but we got 10 minutes of Farmtruck and AZN acting a fool.
Facebook version has the FULL race video.. 
You've got to be impressed by Tuff getting down the street with that combo.. 
Chris..

Thanks! Seems odd that they had cars parked right along the road where Dave got loose. That could have gotten ugly if he'd gotten real out of shape.  I hope there is a rematch this summer that makes TV.

That's not the video. The one I'm speaking of I watched on the camera it was filmed on. It will not be posted.

The best part of this series is it shows how irrelevant import tuner junk is in the real world. You won't be seeing any Fast and Furious wanna bes ever make it on that list.

Thanks Dennis.
It don't look as bad as I visioned after seeing the teaser on tv.
I know people love their cell phone cameras.....but from my experience, especially with loud noise from the car or low light cond. THEY SUCK 
Don
The one teaser I saw didn't look that bad.
But seeing it on the show it looked a LOT worse than what I thought before.
It sounded like she could've got out of it earlier
and not flipped out!
