Street outlaws

[Pittsburghkid]

Anyone watch this show on discovery channel? It's about street racing in Oklahoma City. Don't worry no rice to find on this show. It's pretty good.

Good? Did we watch the same show?? Lol..

Yes I watched it, it's okay but I'm not sure why they need to street race when they could just go to a track and be safer.

I'm also already tired of Chuck.

I watched it. How is it street racing when most of them trailer their cars to the race? Might as well go to the track.

Yup... if you're street racing, you drive to the street, race, and drive home. At the last trailer your car somewhere close, and hide the tow rig. But still should be street trim. No gutted interior, full exhaust, etc...

IMHO, street racing is just plain stupid and for idiots only.

 

[novaderrik]

yeah, this is exactly the kind of stuff that they need to be putting on tv to make the lives of car people easier...

I don't live in OKC where they say it's filmed but a quick Google search found this place.

i'd suggest not glorifying the outlaw aspects of it on basic cable tv shows.

I get the impression they are doing legal street racing. There's lots of stuff about "legal street racing" events all over the OKC FarmTruck website.

Sure looks to be sanctioned somehow with all the flood lights and crap.

 

[T- Type Tim]

Exactly as said above I doubt the discovery channel sets multiple camera shots and lighting at an illegal race. I'm sure it's controlled enviorent

In my opinion, it's a hell of a lot better programming than watching people buy abandoned storage units, or a couple of fruits crawling through people's junk all over the country to make a couple bucks. In CT, the closest dragstrip is a minimum 2 hours away. Like it or not, this is how it went down when we were kids, and how it still goes down. Although it's probably a controlled environment for the show, I still like it.

"Oklahoma City has THE fastest street cars in the Nation."

Really?! That's a bold statement..

Yep you are right, I've had my fair share of street racing in my youth.
