I'm a regular viewer, but the last couple of episodes have left me feeling kind of bored. Sure, the cars are getting faster, but the b.$. is getting in the way of what I consider the interesting stuff. I'm OK with Farmtruck and AZN, because I'd really like to know how fast the Dung Beetle is and I bet they're a kick to hang out with. But the other drama about the list races, no winner between Chief and the Ohio guy with the pink ProMod Camaro, and other hold ups are getting old. Anybody else feel like the show has lost something?

I watch it from time to time. Too much Bee Ess, I've never seen anybody act the way some of those guys act at the track. Maybe it's a "street thing" The car are typically way over powered, they jump, spin, slide and skid all the way down the street. I guess that's for extra TV drama. They could back the power down and make better, safer, cleaner runs. Just my $.02

of course its boring, you see the SAME guys race every week, its like inbred at this point. Plus give me a break Chief makes up his own rules all the time...he knew that Pink car came around him...the characters are interesting...but change it up once in a while

I don't really care at all about the "list" stuff.

But overall.... I'd say it has taken a step towards boring.

Nothing lasts forever. The attention span of the average American determines how long. This is reaching the end.

I think they need to start over. Show us new builds and new cars. Show us the changes they've made. Let's see some real testing. Show us dyno runs. I love racing as much as any other guy, but bring in some new blood. I like the guy with the blue Nova, he's got a fast car that surprises some of the big guns, and he's a nice guy. Dominator is still one of my favorites.

Hell damn yeah I'd pay to watch Goad stomp his face into mush.

I agree, it has been boring so far this season. They need to demote Chief an get an unbiased leader. The list racing is boring. You pretty much know who has the faster cars...I could really care less what order they are on a list. They need to race more out of towners.
Needs more tech/engine info/tuning segments, but I realize the average viewer wouldn't like that. Only the car guys would, and we're a small percentage of viewership unfortunately.

I have lost interest also. I'll be glad when weather breaks and I can get back to dialing in my car.

I'll bet you over 60% of the viewers watch this show to see Farmtruck and his buddy. I personally hate that part of the show because I know for a fact half those cars they race could put a smack-down on that beetle bug. But I have witnessed the lines that form at our World Of Wheels show just to get a picture and signature. Farmagettem.

I'm OK with it, actually look forward to it. Granted, the rules seem to move around, and maybe having one of the racers also be the leader is inherently problematic. Having a non-racer or non-participant lead the deal could also be problematic, though.
Looks like they need a better street now that the cars are lighter & making serious power.

I personally don't care for the farm truck/azan part in the show. I haven't really look at the show that much this season.
they had a Married with children marathon on last night.

The street IS a problem. It is beat all to hell and wasn't made for this. It's a through road in an industrial park, NOT a track. They have destroyed the road and they really have no other options at this time. Most of Farmtruck and Azn's "fishing" is also done on this spot, just filmed differently. The races are real though. Even though some of that stuff SHOULD beat the Beettle, the damn thing IS fast and the other guys are not prepared

There are two proposals pending. One is actually BUILD a road on private property to race on. It wouldn't be track smooth, just built like a regular road only much thicker concrete to take the abuse. The second is to actually race on the end of Thunder Valley or widen and repour the return road. Goad actually submitted a proposal to build the road on 60 acres he owns. Would cost about 300 grand. The work at Thunder Valley would be cheaper since it's already a facility, with power, lights, access, etc.

Chief is the "self proclaimed" leader. Discovery has neither put him nor anyone else in charge. Nobody seems to want to challenge him though, because they are under the impression he calls the shots, which is not really true. Just like the deal with Doc, Chief doesn't really care for Doc and basically bullied him into giving up that spot because Doc didn't want to be first down a road that had just been oiled down. Being 1 should grant you the right to do what you want to some extent

The film crews spend LOTS of time at various guys shops, but for some reason that footage rarely gets aired. I spent a week out there with Goad when we had the trans issues. The film crew filmed EVERYTHING, but I have seen about 15 minutes of it on air. We ran his car on chassis dyno, ran Derricks on chassis dyno, were at track with Farmtruck. They also filmed rebuild from blow up, struggles to get car fixed and back running, among other things. Have only seen the Farmtruck stuff on the show and that was only about 10 minutes of the hours we spent on truck that night. We adjusted the chassis, fixed some issues, changed all the nitrous stuff, worked on MSD and nitrous controller. You basically do and say everything twice, because they want to make sure they get it on tape, yet it never makes the cut.

And NO, the pink car did NOT come around Chief........LOL!!! I have seen the actual footage from different angles. Close yes, but Chief did nip him

As long as people keep flocking to the tracks to see them, it is good for drag racing. Little tracks making money is a good thing.

The show does seem to be slowing down. Used to be an episode was good for 40-50 pages on Yellowbullet overnight. Now it hardly makes 10. catfight
