The ratio of Chevies to Mopars is easily 10/1. They have alot on the show because alot show up to race period." Maybe that is the case in Minnesota, but in Western Pa / Ohio there is a lot of MoPar presence.....probably close to 40 percent. "Old age and treachery trumps youth and enthusiasm, every time!"

Out of 200-ish cars, I'd say a dozen on a good weekend.

Same thing on pinks..........you hear those clucks talk smack about Mopars and it`s probably cos they have no clue on how to tune em and make em run like we do. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

Maybe he just likes to rub it in on Rich and Willie or even Clay (PAO) who seem to love MOPARS. Brett the announcer is just a B-movie actor. I don't mind the slow cars because that is what actually shows up at most tracks. Like him or not, Rich C. came up with shows about grassroots racers that are watchable and successful.

Herring has the dumbest looking beard I've ever seen. It's right up there with Hitler's mustache. I watch the show a lot despite Herring (that's a fish served in sour cream, isn't it?). I do pretty good on the Mopars. The 10.50 850 HP cars are hard to guess. Floyd Lippencott IV

If you don't know the behind the scenes stuff though, you don't catch it. The producer is always trying to find cars to trip Ken up, that is the reason for the weird assortment. You keep trotting everyday bracket and index cars out there and Ken will eat these other guys up. Monte

Ken wound up guessing a 9.70 and the car went 9.71. I went by myself and didnt get any pics or vids of the event. Brett Ken and the whole crew were great and I actually sat around and talked with them inbetween tapings. The show will be airing sometime in February.

I can't believe the lack of safety equipment that is missed, I have seen 11 second cars with no helmets, a ninja bike rider in Shorts! and a 10 second truck with the driver doing a across the line burnout with no helmet and then when he stages he has a helmet on to name a few. I do enjoy the show and have no complaints other than the lack of safety at times.
