100% agree with everyone that Gas Monkey Richard is a tool. And that is putting it mildly but the attitude and the bad boy vibe that Chief put out there was so damn fake. That boy ain't no thug or bad ass . Pod cast about punching some guy out ? Really , Richard Rawlings hell my wife could kick his butt. I know it was staged for tv but it really made Street Outlaws look like dumb ass cry baby hicks. Just my 2 cents

All he did was whine about the rules and Richard not driving. I'm not Gas Monkey fan, but they didn't seem that bad to me vs Big Chiefs attitude about it.

lemme get this straight... the challenger runs faster than the pontiac, but they bump the blower speed for the next run?!? how about figuring a way to make the car react faster?!? who was the crew chief? knuckleheads. so shocked it blew the tires off... not really. ...exactly....and that boys is how TV is produced and staged. GMG is going the way of American Chopper....ratings are slipping...so Arron splits but is still involved....hmmmmm...paul and pual jr come to mind? Richard aka Paul Sr is throwing big money... AK aka Paul Jr is going back to his "craft" ...typical recipre for Discovery Channel...take minnows turn them into Sharks....watch them implode....after collecting big $$$$$ .... Why you think Jesse James cashed out and hauled azz?

I'm not to much of a forced induction guy so correct e if I'm wrong but I dropped laughing when gmg got there motor and it had 14-1 comp and the issue was it was to hot of a motor and would blow the tires off it. I was more thinking he was going lift a head with boost 😂 That compression is common on alcohol blower motors.

I was very impressed that the Pontiac beat him. But I really didnt expect any less. I loved when lame brain Richard said the car wasn't fast you could tell by the sound. He's so dumb. The Challenger would have won if the reaction time wasn't so bad. They should have focused on that. That car went straight. Yeah Aaron probably has more than $15,000 in that car. Chief said in the podcast if they had another day to test the Challenger, they would have gotten whipped. He also explained how he threw Alex off his game on the tree. AMG was staging a golf cart in the other lane to practice staging vs. a turbo car. Light the pre-stage bulb, let Chief pre-stage and start to build boost, then stage and be ready when Chief stages. Chief lit the pre-stage and went right into the staging beams and built boost on the foot break. Alex clearly was confused.

Never mind that Alex tests all the time with a clutch. Yeah he might be a Pro driver, but the blower car was not his normal gig.

Between the pro-mod type of cars and now this trash I can only hope they turn things around because I used to really look forward to watching it Monday nights.

I know the drama is made for tv and if the producers intended to make Rawlings look like a dick they did a darn good job. From what I understand, the producers of AMG try hard to make him NOT look like a tool. It wasn't his film crew to tell what to cut out and what not to include. So he likely looked like the real RR.
