Dart has got a Chevy. If you can get by the stuff he does not know about Darts, but its You Tube and you can say what you want. It is the internet.

I watch it every week and enjoy the heck out of the show. The producers have had open ears and really changed up the shows format since the shows beginning. Lots of racing now and I dare anyone to name a show that has as much heads up action. It sure beats pinks where the racers were always bragging about how fast their car was and then asking for a head-start. LOL

What the Hell I like it,at least its about Fast Cars.Do I believe its as illegal as they say racing on back roads avoiding the Law..NO I have done it too many times there is just no way you could pull something off like they do more than once and not get caught.Will I keep watching it knowing that...SURE! 
Them are some awesome Fast cars and I guess it matters not about where they race they do seem to race each other for real.

Re: Street Outlaws - 01/06/15 07:34 PM
I like the show. It's good that they seem to have more racing and less messing around than they used to. But I get a sense that the editors don't really have much of a racing or car background the way they edit the races together with cutting back and forth between all the multiple angles every two seconds making the 5-6 second race take 20 seconds. Just show the actual race the way ESPN would, then show all the fancy multiple shots and angles during the replay.
Also, even though it's none of my business (but maybe it is since they are putting themselves on a reality show) I'm really curious about where these guys get all the $$$ to throw at these cars.

I too wonder what jobs these guys have to afford these cars. I do recall one of them saying that he installs garage doors for a living.
I started watching it this Winter and I love it! I assume that the producers work with the local police to allow them to race for the show.

The one guy is always wearing a "Kicker" T-shirt so I figure he's got a car stereo shop.
Don't forget they also get paid for the show. I saw an unconfirmed post about Gas Monkey saying RR gets 50k per episode, and also read about a controversy in Alaska over certain crab boats being sponsored by Discovery Channel, which is driving the price of leasing quotas because the boats don't necessarily have to make all their profit from actual crabbing.

As for what these DO and what they get PAID...........you would be shocked. A few, Chief, Shaun, Farmtruck, Asian and maybe a few more, are "contracted" and get a guaranteed amount a show, but trust me, it ain't much. The others, like Monza, Doc, Dominator, Chuck, etc........get $500 a show. Yep that's it....500 bucks.....chump change.
Doc runs Southwest Diesel, a big truck repair shop
Monza puts up garage doors
Dominator has a small at home fab shop
Chuck has a performance shop
Varley has a repair shop
Daddy Dave works on cars
Chief's family runs Shearer Heating and Air
Not like these guys built these cars FOR the show........They have been doing this stuff for years and years.........and NOW there is a TV show.
Some of the guys are really low buck. Dominator for instance. Big tired Dart, with a 632 BBC and two stages of spray. Yet we see him getting beat by small tire cars.........WHY?..........because these cars have gotten REALLY fast and Dominator simply doesn't have the funds to put the parts on his car it needs, to keep up. I saw him at Ardmore when I was testing with a few of these guys. The car is nice but home built. Has some kind of worn out factory strut on the front. He can't afford GOOD struts. Same for rear shocks. He broke his trans and borrowed a buddies trans, so he could be at Ardmore when I was. Broke THAT trans on the first hit.......so then he had TWO to fix
And to put it to the POINT and as bluntly as I can.........if you think the "actual racing" is scripted and fake......you are a damned idiot.
These guys were my customers and friends WAY before this show started and will be way after it's over. They had FAST cars back then and they are all FASTER now
The "test hits" are usually legit illegal and if they get caught, they go to jail. Actual "race night" is in small town jurisdictions OUT of the city limits of OKC and is approved by local law and the site strictly monitored by law enforcement. OKC itself would NOT consent to the show being filmed in their jurisdiction.

I'm not a fan of street racing, but I like the show and agree that they must have some type of permission to do what they do on a private road. It's amazing that they go that fast on untreated asphalt.

Re: Street Outlaws - 01/06/15 09:20 PM
I like the show. If you've ever been to a street race, on the hiway, late at night/early morning, you know the races aren't scripted.
My biggest issues, are I want to HEAR the cars during burnout and the run.
Also like was said, show the race, then replay with a few angles thrown in.
Around here there is no list for fastest car. It's all about $$$ BIG MONEY.
You can race a 10 second car against an 8 second car if the spot is right.
Not saying this in a bad way, but I bet if we saw where these guys lived, we would understand where the money from the car comes from.
Also, cost of living is different in different areas. Around here, close to NYC, cost of living is crazy. I bet you could get at least 10 acres out there for the cost of a small house on a 50x100 lot here.
More power to those guys, they seem like the type I'd like to bang out and have fun with.

I like the show myself. Reminds me of the old days when we actually raced on the streets. We didn't have good track lights , track bite or any safety crew , But it is still run what you brung and hope you brung enough. We all know it's a tv show but they really do seem to race.. Best car show on TV in my opinion.

The only negative thing I will say is that it can give the impression that all drag racers do illegal street racing. My local track makes a big point to promote street car night at the track every Friday, instead of racing on the street. At least the show title has "Outlaw" in it, and they do say things like, "Don't do this stupid stuff..."

And I have a question for Monte, I know Flip drove the ElCamino and now Kamikaze is driving it, who built it and does it now belong to Chief?

Flip's Camino is a REAL low buck deal that he put together out of "hand me down" parts. I did a camshaft for it a few years ago, might be the only "NEW" part on it.........LOL!!! It was HIS car and likely belongs to the wife now, but she may have let Chief have it, or he and Shawn may have bought it from her.....not sure. Flip was a good guy, just troubled. He was the one who came up with the "Pimp Juice" deal. I even have one of the T-shirts........LOL!!!

I barely made it thru the first season as it was terrible, but it was something my Son and I did together and when they are in their 20's that is "quality Time". I street raced many, many years ago and laughed at some of the fake stuff that the producers were shoving down our throats. But like I said it got better with age. Between listening to the racers on the show and I'm betting even the post on Yellowbullet it grew into a very interesting show that I have set to DVR just in case I am not home to watch it on Monday nights.

Some of the drama is a bit much, but it's not far from reality. Go to any grudge night around here and it's the same deal, only worse...
As far as provided safety gear, it seems that any time Farm Truck goes "fishing", the other driver gets out after the race with a SFI jacket on...I doubt many people carry that around just in case a tech inspector rolls up to the gas station...

Best part of my "hobby" racing career was it's humble starts on the deserted flat/wide county roads of north central NoDak.... i can relate to this show on a much lower budget scale. I think the "top dog" out where I was running could probably eek into the nines, but then again.... these were all street driven cars that you would see crusing the street. Nothing more I'd like to do than to get my ride set up, haul it across the desert and invite Thumperdart to dance! 
.... but alas, I'm older and "re-re- responsible"... so I'll put a dial on my ride and play at the playground 
Smack talk.... never dealt with it much. we pretty much raced, bs'ed, and that was that. Really no hard feelings. My first experience with this side of the street was at Fontana at the old track on a friday night open test session at a PSCA race. It was a hoot watching the money change hands and the spewing of smack talk. It was really fun to see. That said, I watch the show. The show has gotten me to search out street racing videos from all over the country via Youtube.Good stuff!

I watch the show. As mentioned in some of the above post, it's scripted, roads blocked off with the blessing of the city where it's filmed. Some BS drama and some screw ups like when Daddy Dave hits a 11" curb in the right hand lane, loses the race. Then comes driving back, checks the left hand front. Tires still up and the rim still round. Must run some tough tires. Next show say's the strut and rack needed to be replaced along with some minor body work. Just a TV show where the starting line guy is going to get run over and the next scene will show someone else for the next race.

Give me a show with drag cars and I'm watching it. PERIOD!!!
Me Too!
I drove by the midwest street cars "shop" when I was in OKC a few months ago with time to kill. There is a sign up front but the actual shop is way in the back and everything was locked up tight on a friday afternoon. I did come across one of the raceing spots, I got the wifes Ford Edge up on the converter and made a test hit from some old pimp juice...it dead hooked
I met Dominator on drag week. I was somewhere a little north of OKC and my battery was dead, I forgot to hook up my charge light when I wired a new MSD box in on the side of the road a few hours earlier. He approached us at the gas station we stopped at. When he found out we were on drag week he offered me a good battery he had with him to use, he would then take mine to his house, charge it, then return it to me at the track the next morning. I knew another hour or so at 3500RPM would charge my battery back up so I declined, but super nice guy.

I like it, those guys are not faking the crossing the center line, bouncing off curbs, and the flat out DRIVING they're doing in that show. I love the struggle Doc is having getting that tank with the Fulton motor down the road. The 6-8 top cars are complete handfuls to drive I promise. Its trumped up so what? Best REALITY show on TV IMO.
It is starting to look like Turbo cars have an advantage over the NOS cars,they are running much faster!

Flip's Camino is a REAL low buck deal that he put together out of "hand me down" parts. I did a camshaft for it a few years ago, might be the only "NEW" part on it.........LOL!!! It was HIS car and likely belongs to the wife now, but she may have let Chief have it, or he and Shawn may have bought it from her.....not sure. Flip was a good guy, just troubled. He was the one who came up with the "Pimp Juice" deal. I even have one of the T-shirts........LOL!!!
Monte
Always appreciate the posts from Monte on just about any subject. He is not working towards any agenda, just tells you the facts. After reading a few replies, I just scrolled until I saw one of his posts. Read it and scrolled until I saw another one of his.
It's a cold winter right now
Sucks in the AM i am moving a buddy down to tampa florida and I come back Sunday night. It will be 80* when I leave there and when I land in St. Louis, Misery it will be in the 20's and snowing. ugh

I met Doc, Monza and Andrade (sorry if spelled wrong) at the pri this year , ther very cool people and were more than happy to sign some stuff for my kids. I think the show is great it is something my kids and I watch together and we love the farm truck guys they are always having a good time.
If you know anything about drag racing you can tell the cars are no joke and I would guess the top 5 are sub 4.80 rides. I don't know why anyone bash on people they don't know, mostly people bash about stuff they don't have a clue about when they are jealous of something.
The show is really cool to watch, the guys I have met are very cool, a drag racer couldn't ask for anything better. I say if you want a better drag racing show get of your dead a$$ and do your own.
Monte, years ago you gave me a nos tune up for my alky dragster over the phone it worked perfect, the only problem is I never called to thank you for the free info. Tell all the OKC guys great job From the Mopar Mafia guys when you see them.

I guess I will have to check again next week,I know Dave's S10 is the #1 now but I was thinking the #2 was Murder Nova and that is a twin Turbo car with a Pro Line engine.I do not believe the S10 will hold of the turbo cars this year to stay #1.Both my dragster have NOS and my 2 partners 3 cars are NOS,so I am not bashing the NOS cars I like them,but it looks like the turbo cars are starting to have an advantage.Ricky Smith proved again this year the NOS cars are still best in Pro Mod!

Monte's inside scoop makes me appreciate the show more.
Posted By: Monte_Smith
Re: Street Outlaws - 01/09/15 09:06 PM
The "list" is way different at this current time, but I'm not telling. You will just have to watch the show.
Simple FACT, the turbo cars make WAY more power than the nitrous cars, just tricky to get that power down a public road, especially in the middle where the turbo cars start trying to pile the boost on. Most of the nitrous guys get it done early and the turbo guys run out of real estate to run them down.
Shawns(Murder Nova) engine is a beast, but his car is not up to the task. It's an old 2x3 backhalf car and needs a serious update. Chiefs car, while nice, is a ladder bar car. Good motor, but not on par with Shawn. The 5.0 bore space motor in Doc's Monte, is WAY more motor than he has car, plus it's heavy, nearly 3300lbs. Monza's car has a conventional headed 632. Less power than the others, but the car WORKS and he makes the right calls on the setup. Also heavy, over 3100lbs. The Sonoma(Dave) has the nicest chassis and probably the best motor of the nitrous guys.......a Fulton, spread port 632. The truck is also the lightest of the nitrous cars.
The whole deal is making the RIGHT call, to get the car down the road. They all have crazy power and are good at what they do. There have been SEVERAL very well known guys with REALLY fast RACE cars, go out there and get their asses handed to them on the street. What something runs at the track is irrelevant. Our car goes 4 teens on radials at the track...........NO WAY, would I choose off any of the top 5 cars on the street. Not that they can GO 4 teens, but what they CAN do is go down the street and we can't. Several have found out the same thing

You have the most correct info and always tell it like it is. I have never met you and probly never will but I have a very large respect for you and the knowledge you have of this wonderful hobby we call drag racing.
You are the MAN!!
On a side note what nobody has mentioned is that Jeff Lutz is all mixed up in this crew of badass street racers. And as we all know he is no dummy either.

We have trouble getting our door-cars with big A$$ Goodyears/Hoosiers down a bad race-track,we could not make it off the line on a regular street that had not been prepped or something special done to it.
PS and we no longer run Pro-Mod take offs we buy them new!

Glad I don't live up North,yesterday it was 12 degrees when we woke up and with the high only being in the mid 40's this weekend they called off the HangOver Nationals and I agree with them thats to cold to race.And you guys call 12 degrees a heat wave.

Daddy Dave getting drilled by Jon (580-ish inch, single 4bbl, cast intake, P51 headed BBF) at Noble no-prep race. I've seen Jon's car run 7.80's there.
