I have a feeling it won't create the same interest and following as Street Outlaws.

Chucks lack of self control shows his true character. Love the show but if it turns into the grunge racing, studio wrestling crap I'm done with it. To much work in the shop to deal with that.

I posted in the other thread........during the "drivers meeting" the producer himself stepped in and told the guys to "ratchet it up a little" and he stepped out and they continued the shot. Not many like Clark anyway, so he was the one they chose to "get on". He couldn't take the fact that they were getting on HIM and he got out of control and threw the coffee. I was there and thought he got what he deserved.

Truth is, most of these guys are friends and all get along just fine. Even the out of town guys for the most part, because they all know each other. So much of the "drama" is at the encouragement of the producer and after the "shot" is over, they go back to laughing and cutting up. That was the case here, they were all joking around and the producer wanted MORE and boy did he get it. Clark was out of line.

The "list" is way different, because obviously they race every week and you are seeing on TV what happened months ago.

The Louisiana show is a spin off and several episodes have been shot. Some guys from here went down for a taping and raced.

Chuck may have collected Clarks teeth, but he was not the only one who got a piece of him in the altercation

Shane recently went from an F2 Pro-Charger to an F3, so the car is faster and gets down the road pretty well, but he won't have enough for the top 4 or 5 cars, when they make a clean shot

Monte I respect your opinion and you were there but from this side of the TV screen it looks like Dave was running his mouth from the very beginning of the show and "Clark" had had enough smack talk directed directly at him.
Coming from a guy that can loose his temper at the wrong moment I think Dave and maybe the producers egged that fight on. I still see no reason Chuck should have stepped in on a fight he had no dog in.

I am so glad I live were I live and was raised in a different time. I said it before and I'll say it again. You couldn't pay me enough to act like that. Punk out punk on

Clark is from Oklahoma and has a LOT to say, a LOT of the time, that you DON'T see on TV.............that's all I'm saying. What you see on camera is not ALL that happens or is said.

No way the producer wanted an actual fight.......just amped up a bit. He got more than he bargained for.

James(Reaper) is the one that can really get hot and go off, and that NOBODY wants to mess with. Has taken him a good bit to realize that much of it is put on for the camera, when guys are ragging him. Seen him so mad his eyes are rolled back in his head and ready to blow......LOL!!! Then 5 minutes later, the guy who pushed his buttons is telling him, "man that was good, you did good".......this of course AFTER, Jerry, Doc or Dave has managed to calm James down........lol!!!

Agreed !!!!

That is why I said what I did , You were there , I won't. From my side of the screen it didn't make those 405 guy's look good.

So if Clark said "F" you, to you, like he did to Dave, what would YOUR reaction be?
Dave simply said something back, and that fact that he thew coffee at him, just proves Dave was right....

Dave had been talking crap all night about this guy. If Clark would have said F""" you to me , I would have made sure I was the one who made him loose his teeth. Not some friend or body guard.. Chuck was out of line ,and took a freaking cheap shot.

That's what I said after his spitting episode. He showed his character or the lack of, depending on how you look at it.

Yeah, he looks like he would clean ANY of their clocks, in last weeks show when Chief and Shaun went to his shop they even leaving commented not wanting to run into him in a dark alley.
His car is obviously bad fast, but maybe not quite adjusted or set up for the street...yet.

Limited experience watching the show (don't have cable and don't have time, show seems really good though) and haven't seen the episode in question but it seems like all the involved parties (Chuck, Dave, Clark) all seem like a$$ hats in this instance

Chuck, like Farmtruck and Azn has to do something "unique" in order to stay on the show since they are not competitive anymore. Is Chuck even on the list?

First the spitting episode and now sucker punching a guy and doing some real damage. Chuck is making himself a target in more ways that one.

When's the last time you saw someone get their teeth knocked out on national television?

Holly Holm--Ronda Rousey..

WOW of all the races Dave couldn't pick a worse time to fall asleep on the light

I don't know if it's been mentioned before in this thread, but listen to the podcasts that Chief and Shawn do after each show airs. They speak pretty freely about everything, and they have had Chuck, Dave and Derek on. They are entertaining and interesting.

Thanks for the behind the scenes input Monte, I have never watched this show till this season, bits & pieces I have seen in years past turned me off and I quickly turned the channel as it seemed way to made up but watched probably all of this year and found it something I had to tune into.
Our company paid a huge role in the filming/building of a "Extreme Makeover" house years ago which really left us with a bad taste of reality shows and how much they or actually how LITTLE they, the stars or characters did, as in absolutely nothing with attitudes so big I wondered how they could get those big heads they had into their million dollar motor-coaches that they hung out in 99% of the day, they had 4 or 5 on site. LOL

Whos going to Host the new season Big Chief or Kye ? cant see Kye being much of a talker, Chief iv gotten use to and does well.
