Thats true... but its something people have talked about for years before that... he just somehow approached the right person at the right time and got lucky enough to have the green light.

Rich will tell you in person that he isn't a car guy. He will openly admit he doesn't know much about cars. He prefers to call himself an ideas person, who thought up the show. I don't dislike or like the guy, he gets a ~blah~ from me.

I wouldn't go as far as to say "I hate him"; I think he's a dipshit with an overinflated ego and a few psychological issues, but I don't "hate" him.

if this is true.. then i dont dislike him as much as i thought i did..

i went to a school with a kid that reminds me EXACTLY of him.. its crazy how close they are..

but i respect him for admitting he knows nothing... that shows he isnt a total idiot..

BLAH!

You know the guy that comes up to you at a gas station, or party, or where ever, and trys to bs with you about your car, and trys to tell you about the car in his garage? The one that does 4's flat @ 460mph, and pops wheelies from an 80 roll.... and it becomes apparent that he knows nothing about cars.... Well, thats Rich.
couldn't have said it any better

Maybe because he does things like ride away on a motorcycle, lay it down, then get up and take his shirt off and walk away like a hard ***.

This is what 17 links looks like:





Please do not use the word "links" to talk about racing ever again. The word is LENGTHS, as in CAR LENGTHS.

Thanx

You guys know he's responsible for a few more shows than pinks right? He gives us some great shows that have really brought a new light on the drag racing community. A few people don't like pinks or pinks all out, that's their business. The viewers and HUGE turnouts and how excited people get about those shows both on TV and coming to their local strip say that he's done a great deed for us as racers.

He may not know cars, but he's sure done a lot for us, especially considering the animosity towards him.
