I don't think the races themselves are fixed, but the matchups they choose get the results they want.

The mustang couldn't beat my dually, so that is a win for anybody in the other lane.

Taking super fast track only cars like promods and drivers racing on street for first time is 50-50 at best that they can make an A-B pass at all first time out.

JJ da boss, I would think will have at least a few of his own episodes, if not a new series. Entertaining and Memphis has actual fast street cars.

Definitely agree 95% , I think some of the "list" races might be a bit.....lets say nudged.



I would sooooooooooooo Watch a JJ Da Boss series, he reminds me of my grandfather , he could talk priest into lining up against a cop for doughnuts and donations


Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

I'm with John on this one. Honestly don't think I could sit through an entire episode with JJ talking.

From what we saw in this last episode , Getting on Tv is as easy thrash talk Kelly or one of his "list"cars bad enough over a6 month time period and offer over 5k cash.


You're probably right.

Then when the challenge was accepted it was like....."uh oh.....now what do we do?"
"Don't worry...... Someone will want to be on tv"

Then it would be like watching the NHRA.
Grudge/Street racing is just as much about the trash talk, as it is the actual racing. It's all to get into the other guys head, and make him do what you want.
Around here, it's not so much about having the faster car, it's about winning that $$$. A big part of that is the psych out game. Get the other guy to give you the race you want. Back tire stage, car lengths, the break, the clear, etc.
It's also why most grudge/street race have stipulations.
" a chase is a race" is a good example. if we are leaving off an arm drop, and i leave before he drops his arms, and you STAY there, i jumped.
However, if i leave before he drops his arms, and you FOLLOW me, then the race is ON, i didn't jump, because you chased me. That's done so one guy can try and leave early, and hope the other guys follows.

I've seen many races where the slower cars wins, all because of the spot/stipulations. I've also been paid well for it too. :-)

JJ is no worse then John Force, im always on the edge of the mute button, but good in small doses.

How about JJ vs JF in a verbal beat down then race, then more smack.... JF seems to be hit and miss...bad idea.

So you bracket street race. Lol. I'm glad we raced like men back in my street day's. First one to the finish line won, no bs just race. And we raced for fun not money
