Yeah I think people forget that you see only about 15% of what really happens.
I have to admit I've never watch any of the 'outlaw' series so I should sit on my hands and limit my involvement to READING here,,, BUT,, I lost all interest after being in 2 pinks deals, and seeing what drama they create.

and on that rant
I want to PUKE at most of the 'restoration' shows. may months and $100,000 in labor condensed to a 30 minute 'info-mercial' (including 12 minutes of regular commercials) and they try to make you believe it was done 'on budget' and in 10 days. such B.S.

Ugh tell me about it. During my stint in automotive media, that was one of the biggest annoyances when dealing with advertising/marketing people. Arguing over how much each article/minute of video would cost to feature a certain product etc.

Basically lost most of my respect for the industry after that. Aside from a few folks (McM and Roadkill actually portray the time and likelyhood of failure), most seem to condense everything. Sure sometimes its for the sake of time, but often times its covering for a lack of actual knowlege, or the fact that they have a B-team of actual builders doing it behind the scenes.

As for the outlaws tho; If you skip all the farmtruck and AZn stuff, which is pretty much "skits", and just watch the races, its an interesting 12 minutes of television. Your better off just watching all the race clips on Youtube or dailymotion or something. With the Chi, they actually canned like 6 races because they got shutout, and the sh!t talking was at peak.
