All I can say is wow!! I have not seen the show since it changed it's format. Only the commercials. Who the hell is Willie B? Rich's boy friend? And since when is it against the rules to run coolant at the track? Yeah it's a PITA when someone has a spill, and no-one sure as heck wants to have one, but to basically embarass those two guys on national TV, and in front of the fans. I would have punched Rich right then and there. Why do we have to see the same footage 2 or 3 times during the show? I love drag racing, and the more coverage the better. But this is getting out of hand. And the up coming FOUR lane racing? Too bad Ken Herring and especially Clay Millican is associated with this crap. Rant off codfish

Actually, a lot of tracks are banning anti-freeze, too much trouble for clean up.
Really? So it's a local (track) decision, and not an NHRA or IHRA rule then?
New show still stinks though.

I live around DFW and saw a lot of friends on the show last night. Like Matty who was in the blue Nova that got beat with four cars left. She is a local bracket racer. I was really cheesed that the show spent more time in Rich's face talking about coolant than showing cars going down the track, and what was with the starting line view? Why no finish line shots all night. It was lame.

I agree with the no antifreeze and the ban. Only because they were warned and signed up for the race with those rules. Now putting those people on TV and degrading them. That lost me as a veiwer. Plus I was hopeing the first guy would of punched old Richy.I would never take that from anyone.
If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

well anti-freeze sucks to clean up but around here the tracks get so many sportsman racers that race there every day car if they ban antifreeze they will lose over half there racers.

It aint about the antifreeze, or drag racing - it's about "me" and of course - the money. Kinda reminds me of O.C.C. or West Coast Choppers. A bunch of bantering BS! Richie himself admitted he knows nothing about cars - "I don't even know how to open the hood on my own car." It's a shame that drag racing in general is associated with that crap.

I think we all agree about the antifreeze issue. I am as most have agreed talking about the attitude the show has taken. I went to one of the shows a couple of years ago, and would go back again. but heaven forbid him or any other cat for that matter get in my face and not expect to pick up some teeth. I try my best to treat people with a certian amount of respect, but I demand to be treated with the same. The average racer at the track normally gets a grand total of 3 runs for the whole weekend so it's the racers and spectators that are paying for the show. We all go to have fun and maybe win some money,not to get insulted.
