Re: street outlawz

Not here to argue about this but thought I would reply to a couple of the post.

Quote:
I watched. Looks fake. The camera hanging over the start area gave it away for me. Besides, nothing is street legal about those cars. Those cars should be on a track. It was exciting to watch, but those guys are going to spend more in fines and jail time than its worth. Go to a test and tune night.
What was you expecting YOU TUBE VIDEOS to be shown? It's a tv show shown on a national tv channel that means 1 permits witch means city knows what is going on. 2 That means local PD knows what is going on and is on location to block streets to help keep the dozen or so camera guys safe and away from harm. 3 that also explains the camera boom you saw and the construction lights on the side. I mean if there's no light you cant see what's going on. But will tell you there was no script when it came to the racing that was all legit the top 10 is took very SERIOUSLY Here in OK. Oh and they do track race every single one of them track race they just love street racing too.

They are Not daily drivers but some are drivin on the streets plenty.


Streets are not prepped. do a burn out in what ever you have VHT Pimp Juice ect. and drag it out as far as you can that's the only prep done.

I'm surprised some of these guys even wanted to be on TV. Now the PD knows who and what cars are the baddest of the bad, and this would make it easier to prosecute them. Good luck to them.

Re: street outlawz

Flip committed suicide, apparently he suffered from depression and it got to him.

I heard that they use an old airport that Discovery rents to make their passes.
There's no way the network would risk the liability they'd encounter should some unsuspecting soul pull out in front of these guys making a pass for the show.

I watch the show and will continue to do so, it's entertainment and we "car guys" make up a very small percentage of their viewers. Kinda takes me back to spending Friday/Saturday nights out till 3-4am street racing before F&F and the gangs ruined everything.

Re: street outlawz

It's all for the ratings no matter what show on TV, but I like the outlaws. The farmtruck & the dog is cool in my book, the rest of the show is ok and some of it is way out there. The show I don't like is fast & loud because of richard rawlings running his mouth. I don't think I've ever seen him turn a wrench or gotten greasy. I like the little bearded guy though he's ok. Of course all these shows are scripted & attempted entertainment, some better than others JMO..Vernski

That show is about as real as Moonshiners. Which one of these dudes is Tickle? Azn or Chuck?

But I agree it may be related to racing.

Now no one goes there....
I'm a 20 years older, and a tiny bit wiser. I'll just go to the track now.
Reality TV is just that, SOMEONE'S reality. Seems not to be anybody's reality that we know.
Totally agree with you 100%

Most of us have done things in our youth looking back thinking...wow I'm still alive after all that crazy stuff I used to do?

The show itself is an enigma to me. While it trys to be entertaining I have to agree with most here that Street Outlaws will produce more "wannabe" racers across the country.
