Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/17/13 06:30 AM
I flipped it on for the last fifteen minutes and one car broke, one nitrous car ate a few pistons, and a lot of advertisements. Watch the last 20 minutes on a DVR and skip threw the advertisements.

I watched. Those boys are always over on yellowbullet, and seem like a likable group overall. From their posts.

Those 
are making the program a LITTLE MORE ACCURATE by saying in the program intro .... the fastest STREET RACED cars in the country ... but the DRAMA-Nova still has a Midwest Street Cars decal on the windshield .....

I don't get it...do any of those fatash guys even race? or do they just run their mouth? I don't get a person that dumps tons of cash into a car and then lets somebody else drive it. If you are too big or too old to drive the car, build something you can. Plus the entire show looks staged, after that guy put that gold mustang in the ditch I wouldn't let him drive jack... he almost balled it up racing it too.

So what, it is HIS car and he can put whatever decal he wants on it......plus the car HAS been on Drag Week, so it sees some street duty. Also I think Chief and Shaun both plan on trying Drag Week again next year.
You seem to be all hung up on the mention of "street" in the name of anything that YOU don't deem it worthy. Why don't you petition NMCA and any other in the long list of orgs to get the "street" vernacular removed from their top class, which is usually called PRO STREET. Even at the beloved Orlando race you always harp about.

Hey I'm starting to enjoy the show as two out of three shows were much, much better than last year. Last weeks show was really stupid with the staged fights and fireworks and very little racing. I was watching the Raven football game and forgot it was on this week but that's why I DVR the show. I will go back and watch the whole show with my son sometime this week. Monte was that one of your shirts the one guy was wearing? If so good job as that car and many of them run great. If you guys think these cars are not fast your mistaken. I think the racers themselves are adding some input into the show and the producers are listening because its getting MUCH better.

I wathced it for the first time last night. From my perspective it is what it is. That being a TV show. Like most every "reality" TV show it was full of false drama and plenty of set up moments. Nothing wrong with that drama is what gets and keeps people watching. To me it appears as real as any of the numberous "reality" shows on TV.

All I know is that if I sawed on the wheel as hard as those guys look like they are.... I'd have covered way more than just my own lane and be in the ditch in a heartbeat.
My only real question is how much the show pays those guys to be in the show? I know most of us would pretend a whole bunch of drama if "the show" bought us a bunch of speed parts and new tires. You know they have LEO participation in blocking off the "race track" - so there isn't actually any fear of going to jail anyway.... just balling it up on a crowned and unprepped surface.

There is a 500+ page thread on Yellowbullet you can read if you want to know more. gotta sift through some BS to get to the real info, but its interesting. Here is a quote about the show and what some of the main characters make. Theres about 5 guys who get the $1750, everyone else gets $500. The list is in that same thread on YB
"Originally Posted by Big Chief
Hahahahahahaha ya right. I make $1750 dollars and episode. Thats it. No endorsement deals, no contract money, no nothing. 1750 per episode. We film 8 episodes at a time and they make us film for 8 weeks straight. So work, relationships, family, and health suffers for 8 weeks straight. No sleep, just racing and filming. Could you imagine racing your car past it's potential twice or three times a week, for 8 weeks straight and anything that breaks has to be fixed the next day. Literally. The money we spend in repair, maintenance, fuel, tires, etc is three to four times what they pay us. And that's just on the race car, not to mention our trucks, trailers, shops, homes, etc. You basically use up everything you own in a mad dash for 8 weeks straight. Then they leave and it takes months to get things even remotely going steady. Then one day a fleet full of vans pull up in your yard and it starts all over again.
BUT....in the end there are millions of people that would trade spots with me right now. How many times in a mans life, is he given a chance to showcase his passion and get national recognition for it? I mean, we get to street race every night, and do some seriously cool [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]. [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] it! I'll sleep when I'm dead, and they print more money every day. I'll worry about it later lol"

It's entertainment. At least it has cars in it. Better than Naked and Afraid, try watching that one. I've talked to a couple of the guys on facebook, they seem like some good ole boys. Now we just need one for boats.

Believe me, MY panties are not in a wad over anything YOU might say. You think you know everything there is to know about the show, but in reality you know nothing and keep on harping on the same old tired argument that nobody buy YOU seem to care about.

I really like the show alot,i know its not perfect but the dudes on it are just normal car loving guys.The cars are pretty damn fast in my opinion + there's no bag narateing the show like the other ones that were on.
We got to cut some slack to them because its televised,and of course the streets there on are shut down and lit up...but so what.I would love to be able to make hits on tv with all friends there and not have to worry about the police or hitting someone.

They get their 5 minutes of fame, and get paid for doing something that all of us enjoy doing- without the illegalities of it- Kudos to them!

It is interesting that its supposed to be street racing and there running around scouting the roads that chief wants to run on and the night of the race the street is lined with generator lights. Its lit up better than the tracks I run at. But its entertaining. Though the aurguing and pushing is a bit much.

Have you ever watched a regular street race video?? Do you wanna watch an hour of darkness and 4 red dots?? Nope.
They are on streets that are closed down and lit for better picture. It's still a street. I know a number of people who were at the Chicago filming where OKC lost. They're all good guys who have had a list going for at least a decade and now they're on TV.

I think I even heard Shaun say it was Eric Dillard that said to remove the wheelie bars in the last episode because it didnt need them (and it didnt). He owns Proline - which makes me think that Nova is going to be a proud recipient of a nicer motor probably....
I doubt Proline likes being #2 on National TV when they are usually #1 everywhere else.

You must be referring to Varley? He was diagnosed with a heart condition and told by his doctor not to race. His foster son is now the driver.

I watch the show. It's entertaining. As far as Chevy engines and such, how many parts are factory? I'm guessing to go that fast most everything is high dollar and aftermarket? Despite the "make".
I think they should do a show called "Track Outlaws" starting the F.A. S.T. guys and gals. Would be cool to see them working on the factory appearing stuff and running the times they do!
But I have nothing to add, so back to my Purple Shaft cam and 8.75.

Say it ain't so. People trailer cars to the street races???
Been happening for as long as I was in the game from the late 70's til today. You think for a minute that a 9 second car in the 80's was going to be driven 100 miles to take somebodies money... LMAO.
I'd trailer my car to race if I had to go more than 2 miles. I did drive the car to work on occasion, that was ~4 miles one way. Plates, insurance, lights... street car.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/18/13 10:51 PM
Yes I would always trailer my street car to the spot. If your car breaks and you are sitting there waiting for a tow or your trailer to come, because you didn't bring it. So now a cop pulls up see's the marks, it's a know race spot and there you are sitting there like a chump. I wonder how many tickets he would write. But you know you can tell him it's a street car I drove it here.

I've broken at the street race spot and had to sit there when the law came by and everybody else took off. The LEOs were courteous enough... asked for license, registration and insurance info while chit-chatting long enough to know I wasn't drunk. They just handed it all back and drove away. No problem. The problem was actually getting home. (pre-cellphone days) LOL

Why don't you go show them how it's done. You get anything with enough ass to make it run in the high 4 sec range N/A and I guarantee I can get your chance to show it on TV

Doing that on the track and the street is two way different things. Seen data from a few of those cars. Several of them make 4 sec laps on the street at better than 2800lbs

They are certainly "getting it done" if they can make them hook without glue.

Big difference between a 5.10 and a 4.80 pass. Like a few car lengths.

The farm truck is number ten, the bottom 6 are all in the fours. The murder nova showed a 4.80 when he was carborated. It's faster now that's it's fuel injected. And it's not even number one. What's a big chief 632 with a few kits on it in a 2500 lb truck gotta run?

He said "half the field"..........I never said Farmtruck was close to that fast, but the top 6 cars are really fast. Chucks Mustang is number 6 and the fastest small tire car on the list. I know for sure how fast the top 6 cars have been and also Farmtruck. Derrick, Varley and Andrade, I don't know for sure. Derrick and Andrade are both small blocks with plates and Varley is a BBF with a couple kits.
There are you tube videos of most all these guys running at the track at some time or another that show the scoreboards. Some are faster now, some are not.
#1 Daddy Dave....the Sonoma....big tire, 632 spread port with 3 foggers
#2 Murder Nova....big tire, Pro-Charged big block
#3 Doc....Monte Carlo....big tire, now has a 5.0 bore space big block with 3 kits
#4 Monza....Split bumper Camaro....big tire, 598 big block with 2 foggers
#5 Dominator....Dodge Dart....big tire, 632 big block with 2 foggers
#6 Chuck....Mustang....small tire, small block 2 kits
These 6 are pretty damn fast, so get in where you fit in.......LOL!!!

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/19/13 12:15 PM
Are you guys going beat this thing over the head every week?
Murder Nova has not completed Drag Week, doubt it even went 50 miles, and there is nothing wrong with that, stuff happens.
I grew up in Oklahoma, I street raced in Oklahoma. I get calls every week from my friends here in AZ, who ask me if all the crazy antics are "made for TV", and I have to explain that those are just "Okies being Okies"!
4.40's, 4.80's, 5.20's, 5.60's, 6.20's blah blah blah... who cares, it's an eighth mile race on an unprepared surface, so that time slip you got one night when the track had teeth and mine shaft air doesn't really matter.
I enjoy the show, it's fun to watch, the characters are compelling, and the cars are fast...what's to complain about?

I know Jeff Lutz with the Drag Week 57 was down in OKC with the 57 but not sure what for. Did it make it on the show or anything? I have several episodes recorded but haven't watched any of the season yet, not worried about any spoilers.
That 57 is quite possible my favorite car in the world is why I ask lol..and now he has two of them.

For those of us who don't have cable TV (shocking, I know), are the episodes posted on YouTube, or anywhere else online, where they can be watched? Or are the related YouTube vids people are talking about "independent productions" taken by spectators & friends?
FWIW, I watched some of those "Cash Days..." YouTube stuff a couple of years ago IIRC and remember the Brown Sugar Barracuda.

No, Lutz and George Rumore were in town to do the "turbo" piping on Chiefs Poncho. Jeff had the 57 with him and DID race Daddy Dave on the street. You will have to watch the show for the results though....LOL!!! There will be more than one Drag Week car in that episode.

Oh yeah, And how about one camera view to show the entire pass???? Also can not stand how we see about 12 or 15 different camera outside & in car camera angles shots. Makes me almost dizzy. LOL. What are they trying to hide? Anyone who knows racing can pretty much guesstimate their times by watching, so I am sure that is what they do not want you to see. If they are the fastest in the country no one else is going to be able to stay with them anyway, right??? They need to come to the Motor City. We will show them how us "No ET", Drag Radial & small tire cars do it. My junk is still not back together & running yet so I can't say much anyway.

I know people get hung up that it isn't a true reflection of drag racing, but its about being entertaining. Something unfortunatly drag racing is not. There is a reason ESPN will bump NHRA coverage for ladies tennis or little league baseball. I love participating in drag racing, but frankly I think just about anything else is more entertaining to watch on TV. Lets follow around a real drag racer for a day and film them spending the day sitting in the staging lanes waiting for the track to get cleaned from an oil down. Dont think it will pull big ratings.

I like the show quite a bit but here's three things they could do to make it better:
1. Show the race unedited all the way from burn out to end, then go back and show it again from all the different angles.
2. Record real sound for the races, get rid of the phony sound FX.
3. Lose the whole "we better do this quick before the cops catch us" B.S.

You know some of the viewers truly believe the cops are really coming and they can load up their trailers for a quick getaway. Santa really does pick Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer every year to guide the sleigh, and the Easter Bunny dyes all those eggs every year at Easter and spreads them around.

Here is the deal that I was told by more than one of the guys......you can believe it or not, doubt anybody cares if you do. When they go out to make their "test hits" is NOT under police supervision like the race nights are. You notice the police are NEVER mentioned on race night, only the "test hits". You will also notice the road is not lighted for test hits and they have lookouts posted, plus all of those runs seem to be in a different spot, as there are no black marks where they do that.
In a town as big as OKC, pretty easy to find an abandoned stretch of road to do that, because we can do that easily here in the small town I live in. We have trailered more than one car out of town to make a blast. We do it just like they do. Way out of town, spotters on the route in and out. Do it quick and leave. Driver usually pulls car in or on trailer, truck driver pulls out with driver still in car. You stop and strap it down later away from scene. Those race nights are obviously a different story and obvious controlled environment.
I also saw where you posted that on the Bullet........but I NEVER saw where one of the OKC guys answered you, nor did I see where you put him in his place. Just something about him missing you about as much as cancer treatments......lol!!!

Why.......it is approaching 2 million viewers, even on a night when NOT following Fast n Loud. I believe they will be just fine without your critique.
As stupid as it seems to some, the non race stuff, like Azn driving the truck, Farmtruck on the skateboard and Chuck in the ghillie suit rolling on the ground was pretty funny stuff. Gotta keep it entertaining for the masses, NOT just car guys.

Then tell people to lighten up after you have insulted them or say its all in fun. Simple solution change the channel when its on, if you do it simply to read your own words go email yourself.

The funny part is that the ones who "hate" the show are still watching it.
I am hoping they come back and try it again in Chicago. I will gladly volunteer to be a patsy for Farmtruck's fishing expedition with the SRT.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the ASPCA gets all excited about the Farm Truck doggie going along for the ride? They hate to see anybody having any fun. Even dogs.

Sometimes the drama is a little to much, so I DVR, no commercials either. The cars are interesting and so is the racing. I'd much rather watch this than NHRA Batmobile look a like clones. Chassis set-up and tune make it a thinkers game.

Whats your point........it is well documented that the "race night" is in a controlled environment. Airport, industrial park, whatever it is. It is also well documented that they get permits when they do the "cash days" street races. How else you going to get dozens of passes off at a street race without getting caught. It is also obvious they make their "test hits" on public streets and when they went to Texas, there were road signs where they were racing.........So what does all this mean, now pay attention as you seem to be a little slow. Permits or not, airport, industrial park whatever, they are NOT doing any of this on a prepped race track. They are public areas. Be it a parking lot, runway, whatever, it is still more or less like the street we drive on everyday. Hence the name STREET RACED. Was THAT slow enough for you to follow.
You want to piss and moan about the show fine....but PLEASE find something new to piss and moan about. This same old tired crap shows NO imagination on your part. I am sure an expert such as yourself, with such a keen eye has noticed something ELSE that ruffled your feathers. Complain about THAT for a while.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/24/13 04:27 PM
Permits no permits it is still off the track. Sometimes we used to block the road so if the police came from a known direction they were stuck in the back up enough to get the racers out of there.
Maybe the NHRA should take notes. There are more people watching the OKC boys than watch a NHRA event on TV when it is supposed to be on. I know every time I used to try to tune in I usually saw some 10-12 yr olds playing baseball.
If they can make baseball (which I don't watch unless I am at the game) or golf (I do watch sometimes) interesting then maybe they can learn something.
NASCAR figured it out by making the drivers and personalities the stars and not the cars.

Last night's show was one of the best so far. More racing, less drama. I hope this isn't the end of Farm truck and Azin after their loss. They are a riot.
Busting a Porsch while pulling a fishing boat. Now, who here has seen that done before?

Farmtruck and Azn are not going anywhere, they are "contracted" to the show and are some of the main players. The "contract" guys get more air time, so it easy to figure who they are. The others get paid, but not near as much

Thanks Monte for all the real info on the show and I've read alot of the Yellowbullet thread where Chief has given alot of good info.
It sure beats anything else on TV and I love seeing the cars, my only gripe is the terrible Indy car sounds, I really hope someone stops them from doing that.
And don't let Misterfiberglass ruffle your feathers, he has nothing to do with racing cars, just another internet troll that can't spell.

WHY don't you ENGAGE your brain before typing on your keyboard ? I have more HANDS-ON experience in the performance industry, with real-fast real street cars and with GENUINE (safely done) street racing than most people here or on YB. And I can safely say ..... THAT includes YOU.

Thank you, that is the best typing/spelling I've seen you do in 10 years. I knew you had it in ya!
But I can't say that I've ever seen you contribute anything that has to do with racing Mopars though, ever. Please start sharing your years of knowledge. You telling some one else to engage their brain before typing on a keyboard, that's the funniest thing I've read all week!

Frankly, I think street racing is a horrible sub-culture of our sport, and you'd never catch me doing it. I really don't understand why they don't just take it to the track (???).
With that said, It is fast drag race oriented cars.... So I'll watch.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/27/13 09:45 AM
Watch the vid that's been posted of their last trip to the track. Little Miss #10 didn't fare so well.
Besides, the 405 is THE fastest street raced cars by their rules in the country.
It's been fun to watch Daddy Dave spinning around on Yellowbullet about why him getting cleaned in Chicago doesn't count. He spins faster than James Carville trying to explain what Bill Clinton was doing with Monica Lewinsky.

He's not spinning anything as he said he lost after spinning the tires about 150' out many times and hardly call that getting your clock cleaned as it wasn't even a race(like John Force blowing his tire off one race then winning the next-can happen to anyone)
What's really funny is what they brought out to race Dave and how they prepped the street
Gutted chassis car !
Blown alky engine w/zoomies !
No headlights or provisions for some !
No cooling system/had to be towed back after pass !
Track prepping the street/brought out a van with a spayer & drag
Sprayed vht & dragged their side of the road 3 times the full lenght!
And yes Dave prepped his side with his hand held for about 100'!
If you chicago guys think that's the way you do it then keep rubbing your nuts 
but... but... but I thot there was no rules in "street racing" it all goes down based on how you negotiate...
So wheres the beef?
Posted By: Monte_Smith
Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/27/13 08:27 PM
There really is no beef that I know of. They went to Chicago and played by the Chicago rules, although they(OKC boys) were somewhat misled about the street prep, plus it was drizzling rain. Dave knocked the tires off and got beat, which he acknowledged. So Dave got beat, did he get "drug" or the "gap band played"...not really, he knocked the tires off. The other things are usually referenced when both cars "make the trip", which they did NOT...........so, what does it mean, NOTHING. The Sonoma lost a race, which it has plenty of times. As for the "stips" put on the race, I don't know, wasn't there. All I was told is that they argued about it for hours and the OKC guys finally just said "whatever lets go" as the bad weather was coming in and the film crew was pressing, as they had to shoot something.
Are there "faster" street racers than the OKC boys in this world, of course there are. There is ALWAYS somebody faster somewhere on any given day..........BUT.......the point is, at this time, NOBODY has come into OKC and raced the way THEY do(on a totally unprepped surface) and beat their top guys.

There's not one...Dave said he lost and should have been the end of story but chicago's feelings are hurt cause there's nothing to put on tv about them...They fought rain and the one race is all they could get off before everyone had to head back to their day/real job !!

Not trying to argue at all.. simply because I know nothing about it.... but the rumormill says they had a day to "prep" the road for the California filming... and the Cali boys were not allowed to make any test hits...
Is there truth to that? Did the OKC boys race on a prep'd street that day?

Don this was hashed out earlier in the thread, long story short, claims are false. OKC handled the cali boys in both lanes.

If you watch the youtube video that was posted it clearly shows that the OKC boys agreed to a lane swap and still outran the Cali guys so both lanes were apparently prepped the same. One of their fast guys in the yellow vega hooked so good he almost stood his car straight up! Problem was he came down with one tire in the dirt and had to lift while the OKC car was going A to B.

Its not illegal. They are racing on closed roads with permission. The cops aren't coming. But its still turning out to be one of the best racing shows on tv as the producers are listening and showing More racing and LESS bs.

But, but, Dave took the crown when Shawn broke. I guess that don't count either. Dave then refused to race Doc, even though he claims he'll race anywhere, anytime.
Tina pulled a hustle on Farmtruck and that's OK, but Tuff hustled Dave and it's crap?
I stand by my statement, Fastest street raced cars by their rules in the country.

When OKC beat Texas because they knocked the tires off OKC jumped for joy, but when Brian beats Dave's truck because it spun it shouldn't count as a win? I love their logic on that one LMAO!!! Or when Joey offered Chuck action the next morning for any money with or without cameras and a shut down road it was suddenly mandatory to head home. . .
I'm looking forward to the rematch. A friend of mine built the chassis in the TuffEnuff car, it may be in OKC come spring, hopefully TurboGT will be there along with a few others. All these cars are fast but I don't see the OKC cars having much over the Northern Assassins, Donya can run a big tire, THAT would be very very interesting IMO

I was looking on the tube but didn't see that one.
I wonder if a part broke, or oil got under her tires?
I know oil can make for a VERY exciting ride, especially @ 130 mph. 
Mine was trying to rotate around like that. I knew if it got sideways to my right, it probably would've looked like that.
It's amazing what goes through your mind in a split second while steering right & left.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/28/13 06:57 PM
Who has said that it wasn't a win for Tuff? Nobody has disputed that fact not even Dave. What everyone is disputing is them saying Tuff drug him down the track and blew him away when it was just a win by default because Dave blew the tires off. He even turned his truck around at half track and didn't go to the finish line. A rental car would have beat Dave in that race lol. If I were Tuff I wouldn't want to brag about that race at all that's all I'm saying. It's kind of like winning a bracket race when the other guy red lights...yes you won the race but no you didn't earn it.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/28/13 07:42 PM
One of the biggest draws of street and grudge racing is EGO. Yes, you want to win at all costs, but mostly you want to "crush" the other guy while doing so. If you win when the other guys knocks the tires off, all you have proven is that he missed the setup........NOT that you can outrun him. So yeah, Tuff beat Dave, but can he say he "drug" him or "gapped" him, or does he KNOW he can beat him....NO.
Grudge and street racing is a different world as far as perceptions of a win go.
As for Street Outlaws and who gets to call out who and what happens if a guy breaks........the producers have the final call. Whatever they think will make the show more entertaining, is what will happen.

The girl made a call out to the Farm Truck and there was no mention of money.She won and I did not see any money being handed over.All I saw was the just the dumb belt. So she made a call out to Varley and all she bet was that dumb sticker and no mention what Varley was to win. Mabe I missed that. Why no money exchange in her races? I like the show and hope they can ride it out for a few seasons.

This show has gotten soooo much better as time goes on and I have taken a 180 in the way I feel about it. Less BS and more racing. I HATE "one and Done" type shows and their whinny wheeling and dealing. If you think its fast, line the son of a gun up and lets get it on.

Met some of the "Outlaws" at the Vernon, Texas car show this year, really nice guys...truth of the matter is that they were drag racers long before this show started and they will still be drag racers long after the show is gone, it's nice to see somebody make some money drag racing...what's the old saying? "how do you make a million dollars drag racing?"...start with 2 million...
and it's fun to see NOS and NX competing for TV time...I don't know Monte Smith personally but he seems like a nice guy from what I've read and I've known Mike Wood (owner of NX) for 30 something years, Mike is a madman when it comes to Nitrous, I don't know if there's been an internal combustion engine built yet that he hasn't sprayed

Next week Str. outlaws will be on @ 8 central time(2 hour special)
They said the dragweek boys are coming to town.
Was that Lutz's 57 in the preview/teaser?
How about daddy dave whupping up on mumble nova?
Doc may have the biggest/most power, but like Monte says the street is not the track.
What are the chances Doc's car gets impounded before this season is over?
The show is much better since they cut out all the belly bumping.
Just put up or shutup! 
I think Tina deserved the stripper pole comment after she pulled out that sticker.

I think Dave will need more than a week to properly fix the oil control problem he's having.
Although it looked like he could've detuned it a LITTLE and still beat shawn.
Maybe he can before it REALLY blows up, rods/block etc?

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 12/31/13 07:14 PM
Dave's problem with the 632 was the motor was pretty beat up and with the filming schedule, they just never had time to fix it RIGHT. They just kept shoving pistons and sleeves in it, because that is all they had time to do.
It is apart right now and I am going to try and help him with the combination to make it a little more nitrous friendly, so maybe he can stop hurting parts.

Otherwise the racing seems cool accept the piped in Indy car sound affects. But I imagine they do it for a reason, perhaps to appeal to the ricer crowd.

Doc's car worked great with the 565..........the 706 has a lot more grunt and the car is not stiff enough in the middle. Going out in a couple weeks to look at his chassis and see where it needs some bars.
They had 2.2 million viewers Monday night. Over 2 million gets credit as a "hit", so that probably means a 20 episode contract and their own night to air in a primetime slot.

Pass Time may not be done. I know the producer, as I have been on several of his other shows. Just shot an episode of "Gear Heads" which will be aired on Mav TV. He is still actively searching for a network to air Pass Time on and may have some leads. Obviously Mav TV could be an option

I was at the no-prep night at Thunder Valley when Tina Turtled her truck. Watched almost all the cars run. The Pontiac is awsome but he didn't make a pass. If he ever figures that thing out it may be a contender. Was kinda funny because the film crew was there and they where trying to take shots of everything. As far as speed, those that finally got a clean pass (very few) where all in the 4's for the 1/8th. Problem was in the first 2 hours only three cars got down the track and they all had major traction problems. They finally had to semi-prep the track to get some cars down. I got lots of pix but very little racing action. I recognize some of the spots where these guys have done test and tune and the cops would have them in jail if they caught them. They are pretty much known street race sites. Nice road surfaces.

watch the show again, he didn't admit to anything from what i seen the cop walked up and seen the burnout spot and assumed he did a burnout. Doc said he was going to make a test hit and never pulled it out of the trailer.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/03/14 07:01 PM
Car was in trailer when they rolled up...........can't PROVE anything, much less loud muffs. Now the cop called Doc by name, so they know him and you KNOW they have seen the show........but still, didn't SEE Doc do anything
Laws vary, but most any place they have to see you do something before they can ticket you. Around here, if you get caught at a street race, they can ticket you for hindering traffic flow and unlawful assy. That's about it, unless they catch you in the act. If they catch the car off the trailer, they will write you a list of equipment violations. That's the main reason the car should stay ON the trailer until you get ready to race it, and also the reason most SERIOUS street race cars are always trailered. Back when I did that sort of stuff, I NEVER drove my car to a race. That is just asking for serious fines

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/03/14 07:20 PM
They came right out and said the races are legal as they are racing on closed roads so that's not an issue. Now as far as testing when I street raced years ago and was out making a test hit there is no way I would have had time to see cops coming, stop, lower the trailer door, load the car in the trailer, get out of the car, and get out of the trailer and get the door closed. Just sayin. Love the show.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/03/14 07:40 PM
We all KNOW the races are in a controlled environment........that's not an issue, but I was told by more than one of the guys, that when they go out for "test hits", they are on their own

To bad the cops don't have any proof of what happened......oh wait, it's on film.
kinda like Moonshiners, camera crews filming the illegal activity, and the location of such.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/03/14 11:42 PM
Some of you guys act like this is all "real time" footage. Ever hear of "editing"..........lol!! They piece it together to add the drama.
Plus, if you are making a test run and have a spotter or two, which ANY smart street racer does, you would have plenty of time to get the car on or in the trailer before the cops roll up. You usually pick a place that has limited side roads and post lookouts a few miles away in either direction.

the impala dumps the clutch at 8000 on the street! did he think he was gonna hook!LMAO did any of those drag week dudes think they were going to win on a supposedly unprepped street as aposed to a prepped track. we all knew what the outcome was going to be! maybe if they raced a 1/4 mile the outcome may have been closer.

I didn't know Lutz ran 217, I thought that was Tom Bailey's Camaro. Jeff didn't even finish drag week this year, but they made him out to be the king. Nothing against him, I think his car and the evil twin are awesome, but to flat out lie like that is just uncalled for.

These episodes were shot BEFORE last years Drag Week. Before Tom Bailey shattered the marks last year, Jeff Lutz' 57 WAS the quickest and fastest ever Drag Week car. He had been 6.90 @ 217. Reason I know, I was behind him putting him in the groove on that pass. Had a good look at it. So at the time of shooting, everything they said was true. As far as being "King" of Drag Week, that was just Chiefs opinion and he is entitled to it.
Now both Larry Larsen and Jeff Lutz are friends of mine, know both well. While Larry is likely the "REAL KING" of Drag Week, people love that 57 and after Larry winning 5 years in a row, Jeff and his car are VERY popular.
Flip was a great guy and I had done some work for him.....but, he had a long history of issues. NOT alcohol, NOT drugs, but a history of problems dealing with depression and serious mood swings. Just got the better of him one day

This wasn't after drag week? It thought it was october ish of 2013. The pics of Lutz 57 Towing the Murdernova and pics of Shawn Finks car were all over the midwest street cars facebook page around october november. I guess they could have held onto all of that stuff from the previous winter.

Sorry, I stand corrected. The Drag Week stuff was shot later, because I remember me and Jeff talking about him being out there.......But.......they never said he won Drag Week, or was even the fastest. It did say he had been 6.90s at 217, which was true and Chief proclaimed him "King" of Drag Week, which may be true in Chief's opinion. So they didn't lie or mislead about anything. Also, the only real Drag Week cars there were Lutz and Fink. I have never seen that Chevelle nor the Bubble top before. Other Drag Week cars were supposed to be there, but they made a last minute schedule change and many couldn't make it.

Monte I wasn't trying to correct anyone just making sure I had it straight.
I am sure Jeff had nothing to do with the scripting of how they talked about him. Its not like he hasn't tried his ass off to win drag week. I hope he can do it in the Evil Twin although I am sure Bailey has cards he hasn't shown yet.
That 57 is one of my favorite all time cars, its just evil and cool looking. Even more sinister looking going down the highway.

Besides the silly sound effects, the only real problems I have are:
Chief constantly called the Oklahoma cars "Street Cars" (which they are NOT)
The Dragweek cars ARE "Street Cars" and prove it yearly..
Funny that Lutz drove his car there while all those "Oklahoma Street Cars" were trailer queens.. lol..
I think Murderer Nova tried Dragweek once and made it a whole 50 miles..
Anyway, the fastest "Street Cars" are at Dragweek..
Larry Larson, Jeff Lutz, Tom Bailey, Shawn Fink and the Texas Pro Mod "Street Car" from Texas.. (can't remember his name)
The "Street Outlaws" should actually try Dragweek (and survive) if they want to call themselves the "fastest"
Also, The Farmtruck and Aisain are what the general public don't like about "Street Racing"..
They are a bit too old to act like immature teenagers..
They do stupid stuff that makes the program look bad.

6.90 @ 217 to be precise, while weighing over 3600lbs. About 2 hours after the 6.90 pass, he and his wife jumped in it, untouched and drove it about 150 mile round trip to dinner, with Larson, Joe Barry and a couple other guys. We were in Texas at the time. Went from the track, across the bay to that boardwalk deal where Joe's Crab Shack is. Can't think of the name of the town right now, but sure somebody here knows.........Seabrook TX. Think that's it

Travis Quillen lives about 45 minutes from me. We have lunch about once a week and YES, he has been VERY involved with Chief's build. Should have some real stones, as Chiefs motor is pretty much a twin to the one in the Tempest

I didn't know Lutz ran 217, I thought that was Tom Bailey's Camaro. Jeff didn't even finish drag week this year, but they made him out to be the king. Nothing against him, I think his car and the evil twin are awesome, but to flat out lie like that is just uncalled for.
These episodes were shot BEFORE last years Drag Week. Before Tom Bailey shattered the marks last year, Jeff Lutz' 57 WAS the quickest and fastest ever Drag Week car. He had been 6.90 @ 217. Reason I know, I was behind him putting him in the groove on that pass. Had a good look at it. So at the time of shooting, everything they said was true. As far as being "King" of Drag Week, that was just Chiefs opinion and he is entitled to it.
Now both Larry Larsen and Jeff Lutz are friends of mine, know both well. While Larry is likely the "REAL KING" of Drag Week, people love that 57 and after Larry winning 5 years in a row, Jeff and his car are VERY popular.
Flip was a great guy and I had done some work for him.....but, he had a long history of issues. NOT alcohol, NOT drugs, but a history of problems dealing with depression and serious mood swings. Just got the better of him one day
Monte
Sorry, I stand corrected. The Drag Week stuff was shot later, because I remember me and Jeff talking about him being out there.......But.......they never said he won Drag Week, or was even the fastest. It did say he had been 6.90s at 217, which was true and Chief proclaimed him "King" of Drag Week, which may be true in Chief's opinion. So they didn't lie or mislead about anything. Also, the only real Drag Week cars there were Lutz and Fink. I have never seen that Chevelle nor the Bubble top before. Other Drag Week cars were supposed to be there, but they made a last minute schedule change and many couldn't make it.
Monte
Besides the silly sound effects, the only real problems I have are:
Chief constantly called the Oklahoma cars "Street Cars" (which they are NOT)
The Dragweek cars ARE "Street Cars" and prove it yearly..
Funny that Lutz drove his car there while all those "Oklahoma Street Cars" were trailer queens.. lol..
I think Murderer Nova tried Dragweek once and made it a whole 50 miles..
Anyway, the fastest "Street Cars" are at Dragweek..
Larry Larson, Jeff Lutz, Tom Bailey, Shawn Fink and the Texas Pro Mod "Street Car" from Texas.. (can't remember his name)
The "Street Outlaws" should actually try Dragweek (and survive) if they want to call themselves the "fastest"
Also, The Farmtruck and Aisain are what the general public don't like about "Street Racing"..
They are a bit too old to act like immature teenagers..
They do stupid stuff that makes the program look bad.
Chris..
I hear what you`re saying but if I remember right Chief said something along the lines of the 405 boys have some of the fastest "street driven" race cars in the country............or, I dreamed it...............

I'd rather watch this than a show about getting married, being stuck on an island with a bunch of cut-throats, making moonshine, making duck calls, or any other TRASH that's on TV now. Relax Doc and take the good with the bad. When the farm truck comes on or a part of the show I don't like I log on to Moparts.

Yes "know illegal act", street racing is illegal. If I say on camera let's race on this street and you film it you are a aaccesorey to the crime. They (outlaws)used to do all this stuff illegally all the time. There is all sorts of video of it all over internet. Now it must be done legally because of the camera.

If you look carefully in one of the races, you can see a cop car past the railroad tracks blocking traffic.Maybe the few cars there are done so by the producers.
Ever since the episode where the Farmtruck kid slid away so he didn't have to work on the truck that give him his 15 seconds of recognition, I long to see him bashed in the head, maybe the dog goes crazy and rips his face off.

With more racing and less other filler crap, the show has been better. I don't love it, but I'll watch it now when bored.
I didn't agree with the part about their "street cars" are faster than the drag week guys. The drag week cars are street cars built to go fast at the track. The guys on the show, have race cars built for racing on the street. They don't drive them to race and most don't even have plates and so on. Little less ego and drama about cops... when they clearly have lights and so on set up... it could be pretty good.

Hardly.......how many 6.0 cert street cars you see tooling around your town. Make no mistake, the Unlimited Class cars are RACE CARS. They HAVE to be to meet they specs for the speeds they run. Anything can be made streetable with work. Lutz' 57 is a 6.0 cert chromoly chassis, with struts and a 4-link. It has a 600+ cubic inch motor with twin 94mm turbos. Not exactly a grocery getter

Monte I used to have a Red 1968 GTX back in the mid-80's that we got into the 9's with iron heads and big nitrous system, tons of people out here wanted me to race you. I told them all back then he's faster (you). It's cool to see you posting on here.

Plus I know that last year including DragWeek Joe Barry put 5k+ miles on his 56.Those 2 guys are probly the exception.
Hope the OKC guys go to the no prep race at KID(Wichita Ks) on May 10th. Not sure but both of those guys may be there.

I'm not saying daily drivers... but they do have to drive the cars how many miles to compete in drag week. Maybe not what most consider a street car, but as least proven to be driven on the street not trailered a few miles to make a pass then loaded back up.
I don't see whats so appealing of racing on the street is if you don't drive the car/truck on the street to the place on the street your racing at.
Hopefully the shows good for business... definitely didn't miss your name on the t-shirt

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/13/14 08:08 PM
The allure of street racing, is being able to get that kind of power to go down a street. Seldom does the fastest "track prepared" car win a race on the street, because the conditions are WORLDS apart.
As far as "trailering" to a street race. This has been done by "serious" street racers for years. Real street racers don't care if you think their car is a "street car" or not and they make no illusions as such. Their ONE goal is to beat you and take your money. Also "driving" a serious street race car to a race is ASKING for trouble from the law. If the law rolls up and a car is on or in a trailer, what are they going to cite you for? Unlawful assy is about it........However, if you "drove" the car there, expect possible citations for obstructed vision, bumper height, tires, exhaust, safety items, etc. If they WANT to, they will go over the car with a fine tooth comb and cite you for everything they can. They are not stupid, they KNOW why you are there, so don't give them an EASY way to write you a boat load of tickets.
As for the Drag Week guys.....a 6.0 cert chassis, with struts, 4-link and hull of a body draped over it, is the same parts if you are racing it on the track, or driving it on the street. Larsons car gets brought up. It is the SAME car as any Pro-Mod, is just has a steel body instead of composite and more creature comforts, but is constructed the same. Dave Ahokas' car IS an ex Pro-Mod car. It belonged to Robert Mathis and was an ADRL Pro Nitrous car. The chassis and body is not what makes these cars streetable, it is the powerplant and the reason that turbo cars are an easy choice for Drag Week. You can detune a turbo motor to drive down the road like moms mini van, since they are not high compression motors with huge cams. But turn the wick up and throw the boost at it and you have a monster when you need it.
The reason that most serious street racers are nitrous cars, is that a nitrous car is hard to beat on the street, because most races are 1/8 mile and the turbo cars don't have a chance to get really cranking in that distance.
Jeff Lutz told me himself that Dave's truck will be VERY hard to beat on the street with a turbo car. It's because the truck leaves so hard and that turbo guys can't get on the boost that quick on the street without knocking the tires off.

Again, what most cars run at the TRACK.....especially "small" tire cars, don't mean doodley squat on the street. Chad asked me about taking the "Buick" out there. It runs 4.30s on the track. he asked how I thought we would do. I told him we would probably get embarrassed or put it in the ditch.........LOL!!!

So why were the OKC guys complaining about the guy from Chicago bringing out his 'Pro-Mod' to race them? I don't rememeber where I saw it, probably on the Bullet.
It seems to me that their claim is that their cars are the fastest in the nation under their rules.
Before you go on attack mode, it is just an observation and a question.

Now I could go on about racing on the street and so on... but no real point to it. I guess if they all raced at the track, it wouldn't be very exciting for a tv show.

To be PURELY TECH CORRECT ... they are street-raced "TEST hitted" cars ....that are eventually "raced" in a closed course ... that is well lit with good parking, porta-johns and BBQ's ....

To be PURELY TECH CORRECT ... they are street-raced "TEST hitted" cars ....that are eventually "raced" in a closed course ... that is well lit with good parking, porta-johns and BBQ's ....
NOW you went and spoiled it for me Doc.

So, they DON'T race on the street? It's not ANY different than the track? I think they deserve a bit more credit than you are giving them. Just saying.

Real street racers don't care if you think their car is a "street car" or not and they make no illusions as such. Their ONE goal is to beat you and take your money.
So why were the OKC guys complaining about the guy from Chicago bringing out his 'Pro-Mod' to race them? I don't rememeber where I saw it, probably on the Bullet.
It seems to me that their claim is that their cars are the fastest in the nation under their rules.
Before you go on attack mode, it is just an observation and a question.
Tuff's car is far from a pro-mod........I think it was just talk, since the car runs on alky, has no cooling system and has a blower hanging out of the hood. They even sent a tow vehicle down for it after the hit. The OKC guys were more complaining about the Chicago guys "prepping" the street, not so much the car.
Dave knows how fast his truck is and knows what kind of runs he can make on the street. Not many cars out there he is going to be scared of racing on the street. Hell, at the PRI show, he was challenging Steve Jackson to bring his Pro-Mod out on the street and telling Steve he would gap him..........LOL!!!
And heeeeeeres DOC, with the same old tired crap. YES doc, it is a controlled environment. We get it, we know, nobody is arguing. But here is what it is NOT.....a prepped RACE TRACK. And before you tell me that you like the show, I know that, you have said that a hundred times as well. How about just find something NEW to complain about.

Ok, so you said "closed course", which generally implies race track. Now I don't know EXACTLY where they race during the show, but it is quite obvious it is NOT a race track. At least I haven't seen too many two lane race tracks without out a guardrail in site, pits, bleachers, starting line, finish line, etc. Appears to me the film crew sets up on some desolate stretch of road, an industrial complex, airport, etc. On one episode, thought I saw train tracks in the distance. Now if you just GOTTA KNOW exactly where it is, I will find out for you.........LOL!!!

I knew you were itching to know Doc.......so I texted one of the guys. He said they have TWO sites where the actual races go down. BOTH are out of the way State Hwys that they shut down during filming. So there is your "closed course" a State highway.....LOL!!!

Makes sense because one episode they found a location, then come race time they weren't at the new found location.
Like I said before, they need to lose some of the fake made up stuff... that's the part that drives me nuts, otherwise I think it's a good show.

At first I was pretty skeptical, and a bit cynical, about the show; but accepting it as entertainment and not obsessing too much over the details, I've come to enjoy the show. I like Chief's narration - "cascade of butt-hurt" still has me laughing - and the only thing that really makes me wince is some of the Foley (aka sound-effects) edited in at the top end of nearly every race.

This show is 10 times better than it was last year so if they keep tweaking it in the right direction it can only get better. Be patient guys. Remember the filming crew and producers are doing a show that they probably knew nothing about when the filming first started.

I would guess that with all of the filming and test hits their street may be more like a "prepped track" than one might think..

You're probably right about that but I've also seen them make alot of test hits on roads that looked completely green and they went right down them. I've had troubles making hits on the street in my high 9 second car so I'm impressed with what these guys do.

Well I watched the episode in questtion. I can tell you by no means did they pick the fastest cars in Cali. Bode's car is FAST but has a hard time even getting down a prepped track. But when it does it is a 6 second player. Gypsy is certainly a legend. But that is is Hot Street car and our HS Barracuda was faster. Just sayin

Tuff's Pro Mod was towed back for one simple reason. He was out of fuel.
They offered to pre Dave's lane too. Dave declined and tgey did their own 100' prep job including burning it in. Pictures have been posted on YB, it is not bs.
Tuff's sprayer was a gag made out of stuff from Menard's. In the pictures that have been posted you can clearly see individual lines down the lane. It was not full coverage.
Dave had traction control on the truck. Monza already admitted they had it set up. It did not work.
It was 38° on both lanes. The little sprinkles were on both lanes too.
This has all been posted on YB.
I still laugh about the OKC fans (and some drivers) being butthurt about Chi Town doing the hustle, but when Tina hustled Farmtruck and Rican they are quick to point out there are no rules.

I like the show but if they start picking and choosing the races that only make the OKC boys look good it would be real sad. It sounds like none of the chicago stuff will make it to the show. I guess if you want to be on the show you need to let them beat you?

We get it dude, you are from Chicago and you think you guys got slighted............but what is there to make a show about.
They stood around and argued a while, they prepped the street a while, it started drizzling rain and Dave knocked the tires off at the hit. Not exactly MUST SEE TV..............Now you can say all day that they are not gonna show it because one of the 405 got beat, or however way you want to spin it. But bottom line, what makes or does not make the telecast is totally up to Discovery, NOT the 405 guys. So was there anything about the Chicago trip potentially appealing enough to the general audience, to devote a show to.......not from what I hear went down.
I heard what went down from some of the 405 guys guys, yes.......BUT, I also have some Chicago guys who know the whole story as well. Their EXACT words to me "I wouldn't show that [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] on TV either"....So there you go. What does it mean, NOTHING

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/14/14 07:13 PM
All I am saying is they cetainly picked races they had better than a fair chance to win. Come on a twin turbo "3000 hp" car against a 950(maybe)hp all motor car. Sounds like we SHOULd know the outcome. But I suppose anything can happen and I am fairly sure if there were no cameras involved Gypsy and the entire crew I am sure would have asked for different races. Of course I am sure they do all this heads up to keep the audience involved and not confused. Starting adding in the move and lengths and then they will likely not follow it as well. These guys all race alot out here and aint dumb. But TV cameras I am sure play a HUGE role in what goes down. Afterall some people flock to TV cameras like moths to lite.
In the end it is a fun show and beats watching most "reality" TV for me. I have only seen it a few times now but will make sure it is DVR'ed and will watch them when time allows. After all it is almost race season here. Two weeks left.

Hey Al,yeah the races are definitely picked for their favor, the one you mentioned and the one with Chuck and the Grey Mare Fox body,Chuck's is a 460" SBC Fox body with 2 kits,gutted, no mufflers and what loked like 12" tires, while the Mare is a 331",single carb,naturally aspirated with a 5-speed,9" slick and mufflered since it actually drives on the street. Now I admit Chuck's car is fast,and give him credit, but if the two met at any local street race spot and were setting up a race, no way would the N/A car accept a heads up race. And by the way, OKC prepped the road and was making passes that afternoon for several hours as its 4 miles from my house. Someone,(not me) posted video on youtube of that.

I like the show. I see some things that are far fetched or maybe some runs that are unfair. But, it is a show. And a lot better for me than most other stuff on TV.
VA back in the day was ridiculous with street racing. There was a guy from Roanoke that traveled the state every weekend. My wife and I were dating and I saw this guy up Northern VA tearing up them guys bill folds. That is a good 4 hour ride. I work all over and would see him trailering everywhere. Several guys from Roanoke won Orlando. They owned that place for several years. In my hometown every time there was a new highway built it was quickly stripped with rubber in both lanes just about every place you could imagine decent enough to run. There are still guys around that do this stuff but, they have a list of excuses and pretty much only run stock suspension and small tires now.
I don't condone street racing. There have been a lot of close calls here. Mostly with the people fighting to try and get in front of each other driving to "The spot". Never seen a car trailered to a street race. That said, most all the out of town guys hauled into town. Nothing like hearing two beast ripping it up in the night.
It is just a lot safer and better for me and my family to just watch Street Outlaws and enjoy.
I would love the chance to race some of these guys on a no prep surface. We actually have one available. New London and in no prep it is every bit the challenge as any street.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/15/14 05:28 AM
The ole gray mare is also an NA car. Small tires, full exhaust street car to boot. Bode is a 706 with a few stages, Izzy is a turbo deal the other two are nitrous small blocks/
Also FWIW I would highly doubt Gypsy Mike had a bottle in his car. Unless he swapped motors just to run the race, which I doubt as well. His NA deal is a Hot Street motor. I think if you opened a nitrous bottle near one they would blow up
I have known some of those guys for a long time and know what they are capable of running.

I guess it is a lot of the ego talking, but some of the stuff Cheif and the others say is just
.
Somewhere I saw Daddy Dave downplaying his loss (?) in Chicago because he got into gravel or out of the groove. But the California guys got off the pavement and it proves their cars are slow? Shawn was sweating bullets against the Vega, and the guy goes off the road and suddenly he can beat that car anywhere?
Next season should be fun!

If you have to have a glued track to get your million dollar car down it, well, your just like every other rich guy in the country." Well, that explains it.
Well they could always race in mud if they really want to show us something..
Or bring them up to Wisconsin and do some ice racing since they never seem to want to film that show at any temperature above 40 degress anyway.

Finally got to see the season finale... probably the worst episode I saw this season. First they race on the track, so much for "street" outlaws, then against of a bunch of cars that couldn't get down the road.

I'd give it a try, but wouldn't want to step on your toes
An hour episode and how many races did they show in that time that were even close? The CA guys were far from entertaining... at least the TX guys were somewhat entertaining.

On an unpreped track with no timing equipment.They do that for some of the people who won't race on the street. And that "track" started out slicker than most streets.

Silly question but...why not just race on a prepped track and call it a day?? I admit I watch the show...but only because it's racing related. I do think though that it really is not helping the actual sport of drag racing.

Because racing the "no prep" race, simulates something closer to street conditions and that is the allure.
I can name loads of cars, both big and small tire, that will "Kill" the Street Outlaws guys on a prepped track........so what is the purpose of racing there. But as we see, the street is another story. So far we have had a BUNCH of real race cars, call out the OKC guys, because they KNOW their stuff is fast at the track and they think "how hard can it be" to make it go down the street. Obviously its pretty damn hard.......lol!!! That twin turbo, small tire Trans Am from Texas is a VERY fast car, on the TRACK. Murder Nova has NEVER been as fast as the T/A at the track....But, the T/A looked stupid on the street

Yeah looked like a great time when the s10 landed on it's roof. Looked more like an oil down track than the street.

That stuff has been up on the Bullet since a couple days after the race.
Haven't seen the real vid yet. Couple screen shots are up. I kinda wonder since the contract stated vids can't be shown until the footage airs if they can never legally post it now?
I also find it interesting that "there wasn't enough racing" to show any of it, but we got 10 minutes of Farmtruck and AZN acting a fool.

Seems odd that they had cars parked right along the road where Dave got loose. That could have gotten ugly if he'd gotten real out of shape.
I hope there is a rematch this summer that makes TV.

The one teaser I saw didn't look that bad.
But seeing it on the show it looked a LOT worse than what I thought before.
It sounded like she could've got out of it earlier

About the top 4 are legitimate 4 second players. There are videos all over youtube of Murder Nova going 4.70's like a bracket car, with an older set up/ tune. 4.40's are tossed around for the Sonoma. Haven't seen anything for the black camaro of Monza, but watching that car make laps I'd bet money he's faster than the Nova.

I remember seeing Robbie Vandergriff in the Soff Seal 57 Chevy Pro Mod at Huntsville Dragway back in the summer of '87 going into the 4 second zone. We were stunned.

I hope Farm truck gets his own show. Lots of people like them but I walk over to the computer when he and his buddy come on. His street shenanigans do not belong on that show.

You know the full throttle episode where they were testing on a no prep track were the s10 flip had me thinking who here races at one of those no prep events?I watch a video over on the bullet that was called wild rides best of 2010 and it seems like the track in Houston Raceway Park were like an ice rink
it's a good show don't get me wrong but i can never imagine me driving that kind of horsepower on the street.

405 has a gimmick.It works.Non prepped concrete and they hook and go and you can only live in the 405.PT Barnum had the same business model.The show will only show them winning.Its about the number of viewers.I don't blame them for taking the money from Discovery and going with it.Do I think they can go and compete with what I think determines the fastest street car aka DragWeek NO.

Not to take anything away from these guys but tire development has come along way from how it used to be. Also Flip that passed away made the traction compound that they use to heat and treat their tires before they race.

There is a massive thread over on YB about this and there are a few that share your opinion. Discovery Channel is growing the audience season by season and even week by week. That is a good thing for all of us drag racers.
There is much more positive than negative about this show for our hobby/sport. Drag racing needs this kind of exposure.
Even the carping about how fast (or not) the 405 guys really are is good because it keeps the show current in more people's minds. But it does show that those that are doing the carping just do not get the most important elements of the show.

This argument is OLD. Even the 405 guys themselves admit that they have NOTHING for a bunch of these cars on a prepped race TRACK. They make no secret about it. But on the street is obviously a different story.
As far as it being in the 405 only. Seems to me they have been to both Texas and California and taken care of business. And if you think these guys were not street racing long BEFORE this show, you would be sadly mistaken. How you think they got enough attention to garner a show in the first place.
And while is doesn't get a whole lot of play, LOTS of tracks in Texas, OK and other states are now having "No Prep" races. A car from the 405 generally wins these when they show up. They have learned how to make their cars go down a bad surface and that is "their" deal. So far nobody has been able to best them at it

Didn't the guy in Chicago beat the Sonama truck fair and square on their terms? I know you said there wasn't enough footage to make the show (although I'm not sure why they can't show one short race in Chicago but they can show Farmtruck and Azn antique shopping).
But the YouTube video clearly shows the Chicago Nova beating the truck. It shows the Nova way ahead at the start even before the truck loses traction.
On another topic, doesn't anyone else think Big Chief always being the starter might be a little bit of an advantage? Like, can't they coordinate and practice the timing of exactly when he's going to hit his flashlight button?
BTW, I do love the show.

Re: Well who watched Street Outlaws tonight? - 01/25/14 10:10 PM
Gotta remember, the "target audience" of this show is NOT "car guys". It has to appeal to the normal person. While the sound effects irritate us, the average person knows no better or could care less. The target is also the reason you see Azn and Farmtruck clowning in an antique store and all the other stupid crap they do. We don't care for it, lots of others do. The "drama" is what appeals to the casual fan and sells the show. If it was JUST the cars going down the street, you may as well be televising rounds of bracket racing. Personally, I think they keep it just serious enough to draw real car people AND entertaining enough for the mainstream audience. Drawing 2 million a show.....doing SOMETHING right
