I can't decide between old reruns of WWE wrestling or street outlaws. Not to say those cars aren't that fast, I have no doubt about how fast those cars are.... but like the old Super stock 60s guys, it wouldn't surprise me if there's some of that Hey so-so needs to win , here's 5k thanks for being here tonight, make sure you pull some timing between 3500-500k, make it look good but remember ..so-so gets the win. 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.

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 dont think the conversation for the "teams" from other states is centered so much around winning as much as......"what do we have to do to get on TV?" 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" LMBO!!! So true

Some of you guys sure like that chucking and jiving. Lol. Tape their mouths shut and just race would be cool with me 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. :-)

And we raced for fun not money
