Agreed - Tricia & The Queen (who I find often obnoxious, but so what) - both seem good drivers. And yeah, the cars look like sketchy builds. As often as they "get agricultural" or ball 'em up, I wouldn't send anyone down without a cage & safety equipment.

Tricia has had several wrecks and has been lucky to not be hurt, yet. A few years ago she wrecked one of the Chevy II's and the in car video showed her bouncing around in the car. Once the pillow behind her came out the lap belt semi held her in.

I was part of the street racing crowd many years ago. Made a pretty good hunk of change weekend racing. These guys glamorize it too much. This crap is dangerous and sooner or later somebody is going to get hurt or die on these streets. While it's kinda fun to watch on Monday night TV I really think it will end up hurting the sport we love. Just wait until a innocent family gets hurt by one of these cars or worse. I remember back in the day if you raced on the street and even lost , you won cause you didn't get busted by the law and you didn't wreck and hurt yourself. Just my 2cents

Kind of like Dan Patton who was killed Christmas Day at a street racing event in LA Christmas Day..... he was filming the event and was struck by one of the cars.... now how many of these FUps could have been prevented if they’d simply live by the creed of NOBODY ahead of the starting line. But alas... if they didn’t have walls or barriers at the drag strip you can rest assured there’d be people lining up in harms way. Funny thing on Dans death was that on FB there were people commenting on his feed about the stupidity of the event and he was basically replying “we do what we want....”.
As far as the SO races.... I’ve come to enjoy them! Some nasty fast cars getting down that road. I’m impressed that Casper Wyo and Converse County allowed that new west bypass to be closed for filming. They spent a lot of time out there getting the event done.

Just wanna ad that there is more than one version of a couple of their cars. I can tell you where one of the more famous ones is sitting currently after having yet another crash while they were in Vegas.

Quite a long time for sure. They just wrapped up a month of filming in Vegas before the fire and yes more wrecked cars.

Who would have ever thought that a 4 second car would be making passes on the street ?? Got to hand it to them for flying but at that speed it is a matter of time before more people get hurt / killed . Like I said before street racing is /was fun but at the speed these cars are at today , crap is going to happen and it will hurt our sport in the long run.
I like The JJ show a lot, WAY better the watching the same people run each other OVER & OVER for a list. JJ show is real racing & me & the Camera man have NO problem looking at Lizzy

Just look at birdmans wreck . Very dangerous on the street and he’s lucky he is alive . Yes it is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt bad . And yes that will be the downfall . Right now they are glamorize a very dangerous activity, but eventually it will bite them with negative press when someone gets killed . It wasn’t that long ago that racers looked down upon street racing , now people in America act like it’s so cool

I'm ready for the OKC deal - the humor's better and the cars a lot less sketchy... The List thing doesn't really bug me, I'm OK just seeing 2 cars race. Another vote for Lizzy Musi's legs; shape is a good thing... In any case, I'm OK with the MSO stuff, except for their incessant repeating of phrases, and often silly comments.
