Default Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....

well said Old 5.0 ... Their fees are also so inflated all the way around that whether racing at an event or even just attending will break your bank. I don't know how some of these grass roots guys can afford to do it even at a weekend racer level. I just think the suits that run the NHRA have lost touch with what Wally Parks started it as. I get the taking the racers off of the streets, but what they do on the show is not like what you see at say the Compton street races where the sidelines are filled with people just waiting to be run down by an out of control car. Despite the "staged" aspect or the fact that it is reality TV show I think the NHRA has overstepped their boundaries on this one. When you have guys like Lutz saying go ahead pull my license it shows that people really are fed up with their money machine mentality.
