NHRA goes after Street Outlaws

[polishmafia]

It's definitely staged and regulated, no major network is gonna risk the lawsuits if a bystander got hurt. The cars are real and they are raced on streets,...

But if you like fast cars and headsup racing, its a fun show to watch. Just take it for what it is and don't over think it.

I get what you are saying, but why promote the show as real, illegal street racing? The only show more fake than this is Amish Mafia.

There are two sides of the street racing they do, what we see on TV and what they do outside of it. I read an interview with Justin (Big Chief) recently where he said they do all the stuff necessary to protect the show and those involved, but they still do street racing outside of that which is illegal for big money because the call outs are always coming in.

Here's the interview. It's a good read.

Even if it is staged and the road closed off, I love to watch it. Those cars are pretty fuckin quick be it on a closed off street or on the track

This.

+1 for awesome show.

I still watch it and like it because the cars are cool, just like I watch Top Gear USA for the cars and shenanigans, obviously that's completely scripted as well.

I have noticed that the cars have gotten much faster on SO with all the money and sponsorship pouring in. Most of them now switched from nitrous to turbos. I'd like to see Shep pull out the 1G and have a run at the list. :D

There was a push on FB a while back to get The Red Demon (Boostin's 2G) on the show, we'll see if anything comes of that.

Seems like a person willing to talk enough shit to Farmtruck and AZN could get their dsm on the show. A guy that seemed like a total ass got on with a Supra a couple shows ago by posting on their fb. I'm going to try it if the show is still on the air when I get mine running...
