Street Outlaws on Discovery....

[Dave Rifkin]

Stupid question; why don't they just race at the track? They can still place bets and, in my opinion, half of these cars aren't "street cars" anymore. If they were they'd drive the things to their race location.

Yeah, I know they race on a runway or closed highway and they've lost that "outlaw" part of the show, but the cars are real and the racing is real. I don't care about the drama about getting caught racing on the street as these cars are fast, and actually running them on the street would be extremely stupid. But, I like the competition and the heads-up fastest car wins type of racing you don't find on drag strips anymore. Bracket racing is just boring and removes the competitiveness IMHO..

Not a fan of the drama, but the cars are awfully impressive.

So how do you guys feel about the NHRA making threats to pull all their NHRA license's for anyone who participates on the show? Seems to me that if it's just a TV show then maybe the NHRA is taking things a bit far. Opinions please

NHRA: Stepping on our own ***** since 1970.

Seriously, could these people get any more out of touch with reality? This level of stupid almost has to be on purpose.

NHRA is just upset that Street Outlaws has higher ratings than they do.

NHRA would have more interest if they would pair up with NMCA or the like and have that as a part of the venue. I would watch that over Top Fuel and Funny car any day of the week. Or just have a limited weight, limited tire size (275r or 10.5) and make them run stock type suspension and anything else goes type of class. To me, Top Fuel and Funny car are kinda boring to watch on tv..

[Craig_Maiorana]

Both good points ... I enjoy NMCA and PSCA races a whole lot more than NHRA these days. For 100 bucks my wife and I got into the street car super nats in vegas for 2 days ... one day at an NHRA event would have been 120. I think the NHRA really needs to pick and choose their battles on this issue. They do not own these cars so I don't know how they can tell people what they can and can't do with their own vehicles. I agree with the ratings end of it also. NHRA has become stagnant and overpriced and I think as long as they keep this campaign up I will continue taking my money elsewhere.

The boys on the show love the attention from the NHRA!Improves the show's ratings and pumps up their reputation as so called ''street outlaw''racers.
