Default Madman is a TV Star!

Last night on the Houston news Madman was on talking about Street racing and the DOPE.

It was pretty good. They were talking about all the deaths in Houston involving kids and street racing. The main point was, kids can not control the new found speed with the dope. :p

They even had Boo's car on a Dyno to show how much that the DOPE inproved the cars HP.

They also give a plug about building a new drag strip closer to Houston than Baytown.

All in all it was a good report. Congrats to the newest TV star in Houston MADMAN!

Coach

I think it's time for Boo to take the tired 300 horse 327 out of the Chevy II and put in a real motor. The guy has got toooooo many cars and projects for his personal stuff.

LOL! Damn, couldn't they have shown some FAST cars racing? Instead of ricers.

Was that GTA Trans Am that was wrecked blamed on nitrous oxide and the owner not being able to handle the power? How long ago was that? A new GTA with a 100 shot is the same as a stock LS1 now.

If even that. They tried to turn the story around too, damn media. Sounded like they gave everyone a script to read too. Can't believe Brian played by the rules, lol. Hollywood Horsepower.

When they did the interview they wanted me to discuss street racing. I refused to comment on that. I just explained how nitrous worked and showed them a before and after dyno. I did notice they didnt show any of the domestic cars out racing.

So Brian, when are you going to open an 1/8-mile "street racing" track/hangout in Houston? I think somewhere off Beltway 8 between 290 and I45 would be nice for that.
