Fastest cars of the Dirty South TV Show

Been watching it because it's a race car show.
What do you think?
The episode with Andy Mayes and the dart was the best one so far for me.

i like it. although there is the usual bickering made for tv drama, it isn't NEAR as much as the SO shows.

I've watched it a couple of times and cant get into the grudge hype... plus seems a little "Produced" so I loose interest quick. Also not a fan of copy cats ie "405", the last one I watched he kept saying the "256"

I rather enjoy it for the fun they seem to have and the camaraderie.
Eric's got a pretty wicked but low-key sense of humor.
Even when there's an argument it seems more maturely handled than the other shows.
Some of the cars look pretty sketchy.
They seem to be racing on thin wallets, but then there's that transporter...

That junk Dart with the indy 572 engine that Dede Ford from PTC went 5.09@135.76.
Made me want to park my Dart after that.

Looks like PTC is sponsoring the whole show.

Use to see it on Moto trend ,were is viewed now?

Discovery after the Memphis circus.

I just can't watch it without hearing Eric try to sound like Morgan Freeman.

I like it better than watching Memphis SO

I dont waste my time.. I'd rather be out in the shop working on my junk

I too watched the show with the Dart.
Ehhh,,hard to get too attached to reality TV.
Was nice to see a Mopar for a change.
Much like the home remodel/flip shows......if you've ever done any of this stuff,like all of us have.
You see LOTS of inconsistencies and mistakes in the show.
But beats watching Hallmark, men are asses TV with the wife

It isn't on where we live, maybe I'll call tomorrow morning and ask why not

They started showing it on Discovery also

I watch it on Motortrend tv, it's better than most but still scripted, but its still entertainment to a point

I do enjoy the show I think we all get the made for tv drama but I like the thin wallet description of their builds makes it more relatable to many of us and to add I’ve never seen a show that had an episode that centered around a mopar which I can appreciate and enjoy and the good humored banter between

I have watched the show and enjoyed a lot of it.It's entertainment. Certainly lower bucks than current NHRA racing,making it somewhat easier to relate to. Watch it for what it really is and hope it evolves and doesn't just go away.It's not mean't to be a rigid documentary or a tech bulletin. Bill

its not bad show a little more realistic the other ones r a little out of reach jj show aint to bad

The dart hauled azzz. It beats watching the masked singer and the bachelor.

Mototrend is the best thing around for car shows. Its worth every penny.

Its Drag Racing. Hell I remember watching the Winter Nationals in Pomona in July on the ABC Wide World of Sports show. I appreciate it for what it is, A show about Drag racing. Someone has to sponsor it or we don't watch....

true

I kinda like the show myself. That Guy Eric reminds me a lot of an old friend I used to drive for. Same personality. The show does have a lot of scripted crap but it's a tv show. I wonder how much spray they put into those buckets ??

I think I read that eric actually works at PTC, maybe one of the phone guys.
I like the show. It has improved a lot from the pilot show.

You no I actually like JJ ….it's.the way he hustles.

...I like Junk Yard Gold...it reminds me when I was young use to search the yards for the classic parts .

It was on last night after MSO, it wasn't on the Discovery T.V. channel program until late afternoon or early evening, it started at 11:00 PM local time.
If they have it on early next week before 11:00 PMI may watch it, it looks like a high dollar operation with two big diesel truck and race trailers in the parking lot, not low buck at all
I wish I had one of these rigs, maybe not

I like that show too. That is my problem , I have always bought junk and tried to make it into something,
You know that old saying Turning Chicken S&%$ into Chicken Salad. LOL

Thanks, I haven't heard that one before
I've tried doing exactly that hoping to get lucky when I was younger
No more
I now wait until I can afford the good parts
I've seen way to many bad parts fail on the track or at WOT that ended up hurting the car and driver

The Ford Mustang episode was good too.
Nice car for sitting 11 years.

I believe half of what that guys says, half the time that he says it.

If it was about the 2006 Mustang that had set for 10 yrs with the all out BB Chevy type race motor in it this week that is the show I saw.

I got the impression the car sat because the owner was a guest of the State.

Back in the day you may have seen some of my parts fall off too. LOL
Older and wiser now I hope.

Yes he was in college for 10 years .

Seemed like a nice guy too. Very humble.

I liked the episode.
The garage door jammed was pretty real.

The only episode I have seen is the one with the big block Dart, that someone told me about, so I saw it for the Mopar aspect....other than that...meh.
And I agree with the PTC thing..they must have a big hand in the production of that "show".

When I heard that the "scholarship" he got to "attend" that institution was for a non violent "reward" I was sure I and any of my relatives or friends, didn't want to attend that same school,
Way to intense boredom and other experiences I don't want to happen to me or my friends and most of my relatives
One cousin I have had attended that "school" for 8 to 10 yrs in NV state institute, he is still a idiot

I'm sure that the guy who went to college on that show did not a good lawyer or a good public offender.
The dirty South laws and enforcement are a lot different than the rest of the country. I did like that car though.

With regards to the PTC thing. Both myself and friends here have purchased multiple converters from Kenny at PTC based on positive recommendations from this site and we live in Canada. All of our experiences with him and his staff has been top notch and extremely enjoyable. His staff members have been there forever and they all speak very highly of him. My guess is that he treats the local racers very well and them including him in the show is a way to give back to PTC. I do not know for sure but I do not think that Muscle Shoals is a huge metropolis and giving back to someone in the community that builds products that supports your hobby only makes sense! This is just my opinion and not based at all in fact. Just what I think is going on.

Couldn't agree more. Kenny built a converter for me quite a few years ago for a 904 I had. Excellent customer service and a good person to chat with.. Good to see him get a little air time..
