Street Outlaws on Discovery....

[markinnaples]

Anyone catch the show Street Outlaws?

I look past the Discovery influenced script drama and like the meat and potatoes of the show.

I think they would be better off to stop trying to make it seem like the cops are ever actually in persuit of them, and admit the filming is done on close/permitted areas. There is just too much light and camera angles for anyone to believe it is really being done like a real street race.

There was an article in Car Craft about them last month.. It even says right there that discovery or the producer wouldn't do the show unless they had a garunteed place to run with no police involvement ... Neat little article... It breaks down every ones diplacements and gives a little bit of background on each car and racer

I'll have to look up that article. I like the racing footage, and although some of the characters are goofy and I could do without (Asian, primarily), I don't mind watching it.

Interesting episode last night, with the regular guys racing the Hot Rod Drag Week guys.

That is the difference between a drag strip &quot;sticky&quot; starting line and regular pavement ... very entertaining, but LE has to know something is going on with all the lights and cameras ... TAZ

Yeah, I would imagine that because Discovery is involved, they have obtained some privately owned road somewhere that they can run without regard to getting busted.
