You are talking about guys you don't know.

They are local to Dallas and that motor was a used up old dirt track motor that beat that high dollar slow as hell nova.

The name of the game is like a street race,you work the game in your favor,don't be mad if your guy got hustled.

The camaro you speak of still has stock leaf springs and slapper bars! WTF are you talking about,leaves like a pro stock?!!

Too bad for the guys with the nova that they don't understand the importance of putting together the right combo and setting up a cars chassis.

BTW that nova left like ****,not Trevin's fault there.Just a weak assed high dollar car that got took out by a budget bracket car that had only run 1/8 mile before going down there.

You should really think about what you are saying when you talk about people or things you know nothing about.

Those guys from Conn were a bunch of wusses asking for cars with the setup they had,too bad they really needed them.

I hated that show when it first came out, but it's growing on me. The first two episodes this season (Maryland and Texas) were well done, IMO. It's a little ghey that the host has to parade out in the 6WD hummer at the beginning but he's actually doing a better job this season.

I watch it only because anything car related is better than nothing at all, but for the most part, the show is cheesy. If you have to ask for 8 car lengths, W(hy)TF are you racing the other guy at all? Pick on smaller fish in your own league and race heads up.
It'd be like me wanting to foot race a world class sprinter in the 100 meters, and "negotiating" a 40 meter head start. Then if I happened to cross the line first, I could jump up and down like a hyperactive sped, shouting "I beat you, I beat you".

Embarrassing, IMO

I've watched a couple of episodes and the cars that ran were built by performance shops, just stuff thrown together to get on TV and promote their shop.

Even if they do loose who cares, their shops funded it, no big loss.. just nice advertisement.

TUrbosam I was probably street racing before you were born and doing so about 4 days a week. We had our own xmas tree and at times the police here in Seattle watched untill they received a complaint then would break us up. As for all the sh-t talking that is the Fast and Ficticious outgrowth. When we raced it wasnt about a 100 hp car taking on a 500 hp car and hoping one had enough of a headstart it was headsup. A X amount of a headstart; how is that a race? Again this is about hype and if you think the yelling and screaming is what racing is all about then you haven't really street raced much except with the ricer kids. I went to a couple of ricer street races with my son and it was similar to the stuff on Pinks. The race event was not all imports either but most were very slow imports and domestics. The posturing and yelling is an embarrasement to racing. You can see this on a TV showing of the NOPI drags. W.W.F uses the same technique. Its about the show not the event. Tune in to NHRA racing or NASCAR etc etc and see how much of that crap you see. No one says you cant enjoy it, I am sure W.W.F has a following. There is a lot of truth to the saying " What has an I.Q. of 30 and 10 teeth"? " The 1st 5 rows of any W.W.F event combined".
By the way if you have to make a deal as to buying the cars back then what does that tell you about a RACE? It tells me its just a show.NO harm no foul.

Sh!t ain't like it used to be bro. Thats why some street race scenes have become crime scenes with drugs and violence involved. I won't even touch on the ricer crap, I have never been to a ricer street race and until they stop whining about why they won't race me, I never will. Theres a ton of arguing and yelling when the stakes are high.

I missed out on the glory days of old time street racing, when the fastest thing there ran 12's and cops didn't care. But at least we get down with some truly fast cars on the street these days. Makes it more exciting.

I would never wager my car, too many variables and I'm not losing it. But I would go on the show with a friend and have an agreement to get the car back, for a price. Gotta win something after all. Why? Just to see my car on TV wheels up. I think most anyone with a fast car would do it. Its not like they show times or anything. It would be something cool to show the kid when he's older......

30 years ago there was some bickering on the street race scene. But it was more like you have slicks vs my G50's - you got to give me the jump. The 300 hp car taking on the 600 hp car and then asking for 8 cars does seem a bit out of it.

But Come On People - IT IS TV!!!! You know entertainment. Don't be surprised if it turns out to be all scripted.
