The show in the very beginning was great, mid 5 sec cars. Now the speeds are whats going to shut this show down, the cars are way too fast for an unsafe street with obstacles on the sides. Someone is about to get really hurt bad or killed. The faster speeds are whats going to ultimately end the show. It's a private race track brother. They are not racing out of your local Dairy Queen. ?? its NOT a track. Dwayne Mills would have scraped a wall at a track, on that highway he went through a ditch and into a field. and barrel rolled multiple times. Even though these streets are "closed" they still are unsafe and these guys are taking big risks. No one can tell me this is "safe" Lets be real IT IS DANGEROUS. Of course racing at a track is dangerous also, but this is escalating out of hand. Low 4 high 3 sec cars in those conditions leave very little room for error. If you notice all these wrecks are totalling the cars. I dont wish it on anyone, but sooner or later one of them is going to get hurt, and for what ? the fame of being on a show?? I have street raced before, but would never race a car that fast on any highway, too many obstacles on the sides of the road for cars to get into
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

But it started after he hit the curb hard a couple of times. Luckily not hard enough to launch the car.

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of all the trash talk, but I am sure the producers encourage that kind of thing.
That one of the reason the show is so popular "JJ THE BOSS " can lay it down well.
JJ is mellow compared to when he was 1st aired on SO. Had to be scripted in order for him to get his own show. I'm really shocked Brian Chucky Davis hasn't gotten a chance at a show yet.

Their trash talk is tame as he11 compared to the grudge scene around here. That's the single biggest reason I don't get involved w/ it. I like staying behind the scenes, wrenching on the cars, and only come out when it's go time.

That stuff didn't bother me when I played football b/c I'd just put you on your back. I don't have the temperament for that crap at the track...I'd rather not go to jail, so I choose to not put myself in those situations.

Yeah...those are amazingly fast and well-built cars all right, but I think they've lost track of the meaning of "Street". If you have to bring your car in a trailer and it can only drive 1/4 mile at a time, and doesn't have legal license plates and insurance, it's not a street car. They should just call it "Unprepped Track Outlaws" instead! Anyone remember "Real Street Eliminator"? You had to make a 25 mile cruise (I think without refueling), shut it off and restart in the middle of the trip without assistance, be fully registered, plates, insurance...

Larry Larson used to be on the show and has run no prep kings with his S10. That truck has run in the 5s if I remember right, ran low 6's in the 1/4 on drag week, and he won NHRA events with it too. Same with Tom Bailey and Lutz's Camaros. Shawn used to put street miles on the Murder Nova and attempted to take it on drag week once.
Youtube is full of no trailer type cash days races as well, 660 street posts a bunch of them.
