Most everybody knocked the tires off last night against Chief, knowing they would need a really good lick. That makes the racing look more lopsided or staged
Monte
Derick had a good shot at Chief,but was having throttle cable problems and his nitruos didn't come on when he left and was on the motor only for about a second till his second stage came on
Here is my take on that. ALL the BB nitrous, big tire cars.....Doc, Monza, Dominator, Dave and Derek can beat the turbo cars on the street, IF they make a nice clean hit.........Out there where the turbo guys are really having to lean on the boost controller to make it run is TOUGH on the street and not knock the tires off. No doubt both turbo cars make BIG power, just can't get it down the road consistently.
Jeff Lutz told me last year after Dave beat him, that it would be nearly impossible for a turbo car to beat any of those nitrous cars on the street. Not enough room to run them down. Of course we(the nitrous guys) already knew that........LOL!!!
The main reason Chief, Murder Nova and Chuck went to turbos, is they want to run Drag Week. They all know this TV show is a short term deal and they are looking long term.

Season 3 is done and season 4 is shooting right now. Season 3 ended with a NEW number 1 and it is not the car most think, nor one the producers WANTED there.
I was in Paducah KY Saturday night with "Doc" and "Monza". They did an appearance at Beacon Dragway and made some passes with the boards off. They both had tunes in the cars they had just run in Texas "on the street". I saw the slips and the data from both cars. I won't give the ETs, but will only say that if you want to roll with these guys, your ride better "easily" make 4 sec blasts down a city street
Monte
Doc and Monza are Monte Smith N2O cars correct.?? 
Like the shirts on the tube Monte.. 
Chris.. 
Doc, Monza, Dominator and Andrade are my guys, I did their intakes. I also try and help Dave a little and before they went turbo, both Chuck and Chief had systems from me. Chuck a crossbar plate and Chief had two foggers on that same Poncho motor. I was doing these guys stuff way before this show came along. The Fulton motor that is in Dave's truck, belonged to one of my customers from Georgia and I tuned it at ORSCA races. Ran it in a drag radial Mustang. We never hurt it and Dave seems to hurt it a LOT.........LOL!!!
I also did a crossbar plate for Youngbloods car, but Jerry, his dad told me Sat night that he is too busy chasing tail to work on the car............LOL!!!
Monte
Chief's turbo motor is completely different than his nitrous motor that he sold
I didn't mean to say SAME. The nitrous motor had Super Chief(or something like that) heads on it

I think it's GREAT that the guy they call "farm truck" is racemaster. I'm hoping that means we wont be seeing the Field Truck go for the list. IMHO it's a mockery of a fast car list.  Now that I know the dart has a chebby motor I won't be pulling for it. Monte thanks for your insight into the cars/engines. Don

This doesn't require brain surgery to figure out...........The cars in the bottom 5 are fast, but NOT THAT fast. The cars don't get into the 4 second range until you get up to about number 5. So the lower cars "rolling over" for Chief is not what happened. He just has WAY more power and if he just goes down, which he did, they couldn't beat him even if they ran a best ever. And you will also notice all the cars at the bottom are "small tire" cars. NOT conducive to getting big power down a city street. The "fastest" of the small tire cars is Chuck's Mustang. It has been 5.0s at the track, but can't make that kind of pass on the street. The "big tire" cars on the show make 4 sec passes "on the street" on a regular basis.
The show can be corny at times, but there is nothing fake about the cars or the racing. Now the producers do TRY and arrange races to get the cars THEY want at the top of the list, but so far that has not worked.
Season 3 is done and season 4 is shooting right now. Season 3 ended with a NEW number 1 and it is not the car most think, nor one the producers WANTED there.

Here's a cut and paste from another site. Maybe Monte ends up NUMBER 1.

You guys seem to be having so much fun, poop talking and making promises, that I thought I might join in...........See, I know this fella, who has this yeller GTX, that used to be kind of fast. He still has the car and has decided that maybe he should race it a little bit. It has been apart for quite a while, but he has everything to put it together but an engine and things are already in process to remedy that problem. Stay tuned................lol
Monte
I had to remove a bad word or two. Hopefully I caught them all.

I thought it was funny they thought $7,500 on one race was a lot of money. The SERIOUS races start around here at $10,000. and yes, that's on the street. it's not about some list, it's about $$$$$ i don't care if i'm faster, as long as i bust your A@@ and take your money. That's the game in "brick city"

I am assuming they capped season 3 racing against Chicago (in St Louis)? Vids popped up on YouTube but I haven't watched (don't want to spoil the show, its the only show I enjoy!)
TuffENuff was out there as well as some other very quick cars, including BoostedGT's new car.
No, season 3 is wrapped......That was shooting for season 4 which is going on now

Hey Monty. How bad did the Camaro hurt his motor in Paducah? The word I got was that it wasn't good.
Broke the stator support tube in the trans when he let the button go.........so basically it was one to one with a locked up converter and two kits on at the hit. Lugged the motor REALLY hard and hurt a ring. Nothing major. Would have been fine like it was, just down a little pumping pounds on that hole, but he fixed it. Ready to go

Like I said last season, still not street cars  The new episode certainly was better with more racing than all the other junk they usually air... I doubt that will continue through the season though. I like how they took the bug out on a trailer and then cops are coming after them. This after he drove it on the street last season the same way as it is now

AND, like has been said over and over.........they don't claim they are street cars. Only street RACED cars. I don't think you are trying to pass anything off as street legal when it has fender exit exhausts.
