I love this Memphis show BUT man it’s getting old watching the weak cars they go up against. Racing on their street and getting killed in the 60 foot gets old week after week. This show won’t last if these races aren’t evened out some. Better save my old Mattlock dvd’s


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

When you offer up 200,000.00 pay-outs you are going to have that. Check out the pits at NHRA events and they pay out way less than that. Heck I shake my head walking through the Jr Dragster pits at my local track. Mommy and Daddy got to be rich.

I was thinking more along the lines of the normal show where they do their list racing. When they were basic back half cars w/ conventional headed motors and more of a "budget" type of build. These tube chassis cars w/ the best of the best hardware really loses my attention quick.

The Memphis show is a lot better IMO, but I agree w/ what was said earlier...if their competition never makes a somewhat clean pass, it gets old real quick.

I know people that have gone to Memphis and raced them. THE ONLY races that make it on TV are the ones Memphis wins. When Memphis loses (which yes they do) it does NOT get aired...LOL. So yea in a way the show IS scripted.

They did have a Memphis show on last night at 9pm that showed races that didn't air and it was races where Memphis lost... not all of them, but saw at least a couple the few mins I actually paid attention to it.

The Farm truck is one of my favorite things about the show. The truck itself, not him & Azn. Always like a good sleeper & this is it until it became world wide known because of the t.v. show.

I wonder what the future of "No Prep" is?
I look at one set of no prep rules for back east on here recently, my tube chassis Cuda could meet those rules with a door tag work grin realcrazy
I would have to step the power way up to be competitive though whiney whistling devil
I wonder how quick and fast they run in the 1/8 mile ?

I'd say for local tracks it ought to be good.

Edit: if you are in Bend I don't what's closer to you than Madras and I don't think I've been ther since the early 1990's. Woodburn is a good tow (for my tastes) and so is Yakima. There is Walla Walla but I've never been there. Yet.

That is correct. My car has been that quick at over 209. The "prep" on these tracks varies quite a bit. Some of them are good and others aren't. The race we made in Tucson the track was washed of all compound and it was like a skating rink for the first couple of rounds. The starting line improved with some passes but downtrack remained really tricky. We are going to try to make the whole series this year but that will be tough. The races are scattered all over the country.

209 in the 1/8 is just flat out haulin. One of our local grudge cars has been 3.69 at 210+ in the 1/8 & that is on true 10.5" tires. Crazy what some of you guys are going these days. I just can't afford to ever go that fast, prepped or not....
