i thought josh was about to choke slam chief. lane prep, spinning or not, they looked very inexperienced. people who wont drive their own cars, and jumping before the light ever came on. I think the 5th gen would have still taken the W. And that TT Bird is fast as hell, but it sure looked like a 13 second car next to the nova. I'd like for UGR to pay them a visit and see how the lambo guys with awd and 1500+ fair.

Big tire slick cars dominate frum dig on the street. Don't see too many lambs dig racing either ugr or not.
IMO you should have made good on the race and paid up.

I watched it, the LMR guys didn't show well. Yeah, on the track it'd probably be a different story, but com'on, prep the whole lane? Don't bring a track only car to a street race.
I was more impressed by the Cutlass guy. That thing looked like it left like a ton of bricks and left his oponent holding his bag.

I've seen the murder nova run 4.50s in the 1/8th at over 150. as much as they say its a street car, I've seen it on a trailer. Just because you occasionally take something on the street doesn't make it a street car. I've seen videos of F1 cars driving through London streets.
Until they come to the east coast, they don't have any claim on the fastest street cars. Here in Ohio alone, there are about 50 7-second street cars.

I actually just got back from Norman/OKC lastnight. Got to meet Chief and Shawn in person, pretty cool guys. Got to see Flip's elco, Shawn's nova, Chief's gto, and Derek's 3rdgen camaro up close, surely badass cars!

THEY DO NOT CLAIM TO BE RACING STREET CARS! They claim to have the fastest/quickest cars racing on streets. BIG difference.
I have eaten meals with over half the guys on the show and they a all TOP quality people, although the show makes most of them look like bags.
I went out a month ago and raced the No Prep race with them (drove my street car 300 miles one way and won True Street) at Thunder Valley. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. If there was any drama it was between Varley a couple of other older street racers VS everyone else after the 4th pass Tina crashed her S10 big tire truck (NO one made anything resembling a clean pass at this point). The debate was what to do with the track. Ultimately the old timers lost out and the track was swept.
This was my first time on Pimp Juice and flashlight start. Let me tell you by 2nd round the track was stickier to the 330' than any other track I've been on.
Yes it's a produced TV show. The first season had some actual real street racing on it. Most of the first season and second season is totally closed controlled environment. I met with a couple of the guys over diner 2 months ago about filming for season 3 on airport runways. If you think it's not going to be a produced show and you don't like it don't watch. There's always NHRA fuel cars to watch, boy that's exciting. NOT!

I still dont get why they try and make you belive its on a public road, like last night when chief and farmtruck go out to a remote road and say thats the spot...( uphill) then at night they show up at the airstrip. Its not street outlaws.....they dont race on the street, so it might as well be at the track.

Lots of holes in the show for sure but it's good entertainment. There does have to be some legality to it or there is no show and people get incarcerated.
Street cars is a term that's pretty loose IMO. I used to drive a blown tubbed spooled bbc car on the street and justified it as a street car when really it was a pita to drive. I remember the day when anything fast had to be trailered to the popular race spot but w the new tech stuff, e85, etc..... The scene is different now. Dig racing ur just waiting to get caught, roll it's much harder to catch or see a moving object.

Because some dip **** writers and producers who know NOTHING about cars or racing think it makes for good tv entertainment. Before the next person jumps in and says the guys on the show are getting paid by the discovery channel, it's my understanding that season 1 most got paid $0 and season 2 paid between $250-$500 per episode. Of course there's sponsorship parts and actual betting but those guys are working their asses off for it.

I noticed on the show yesterday all the guys on the show had new pressed sponsored shirts on and there shop looks a lot nicer than it used to. I'm sure they are getting paid and I hope they are, discovery channel is making good money on the show.

Having been part of a reality TV show, on a large network, I can say that it is doubtful that many of the questions asked here will be answered. They are more than likely contracted to not discuss ANYTHING about the show. I can tell you that things are staged, hidden, undisclosed and rehearsed. If not you would have a 5 min, boring show. I would be surprised if even the LMR guys didn't sign contracts. Any friends I had in my life did, that is why you see people's faces blurred out as they refused or didn't sign something. Sure this is all obvious information.
As far as being paid. Sure they were paid for year one and would guess $500-800 for jr memebers and $1k-2k for the main ones. Probably signed a multi year deal even if the network dropped them. This probably went up in season 2 as it got good ratings.
I can't disclose which show I was on because I am still under contract.
