No, because 95% don't get involved and put other peoples rides on the line because of their ignorance.

Those people agree to go on the show. They've all seen it. They know what they are getting themselves into.

Not exactly. What about that kid from Texas that brought that super nice 10 sec NA Nova and from up north they brought a 9 sec LS1 w/ a big shot of dope. They were told to each bring a 10 sec car. If Rich had any brains at all, he would have sent that sprayed car home. I felt sorry for that kid, he was being honest, and punished for it....

While I dont consider drag racing a "sport" anymore than I do NASCAR or Golf "sports", I do think he is a douchebag.

He acts like he knows what hes talking about when he has no idea, he does the "serious face" wayyyyyy too often, and generally creates stupid drama when there is no need.

Yes, I am aware he is on TV and needs to create a sense of (insert whatever sense youd like here), but the way he does it is retarded. I honestly think Ryan Seacrest could do a better job.

That episode pissed me off big time. That lying scumbag was even caught on camera admitting that his car was a low 9 car and telling the drivers to "take it easy" so it wouldn't be so obvious. The scumbags name is Alexander Djordjevic (sp?) and, if I recall corectly, he was from Las Vegas. That episode and the fact that they didn't make it right after the fact, really turned me away from that show.

Agree. I was walking towards my car parked in the staging lanes at Ennis and Rich was walking across the midway area where all the concession booths are. He had camera guys and boom mike operators circling him and he looked like friggin George Washington crossing the Delaware. I walked across the midway about 15 feet away from him and he was "stalking" through the midway looking around with a toughguy/dramatic look on his face... and there was NOTHING going on. We were waiting to be called for a time trial and there was zero action going on at that moment.

The whole Hollywood thing. I guess he feels he needs to over-act and try to inject drama to make the show exciting and boost ratings(?)


And yes, to the posts about Rich/the rest of the staff's ignorance about racing potentially hurting the racers. At that Pinks All Out they were announcing various silly things... like if you ran more than 2 tenths off your first pass on your second time trial pass they would say you sandbagged on one of them and you were "not running all out" and would be disqualified. I was like "stupid bitches, if I get wheelspin I can easily run 2 tenths (or more) off my initial dial. Doesn't mean I sandbagged."
