Also they need to better match the cars. Usually someone has a huge advantage. Spotting car lengths does not make it very interesting.
I'll be watching and hoping for a better season.
im still pissed that i missed the one between the fox bod and the maro
i heard a lot about it secondhand and didnt even really hear that much, sounded kinda interesting though
This show is not real, nobody with a car that can`t run consistent or trouble free would race for their title. These cars have trouble on every run:bs: Nobody is even upset when they lose their car, all the problems that arise are created for the show:drama: .

good point
Pinks....sucks.
Needs more racing and less wanna-be tough guy host.
On another site a person I can say I trust said they were there for a taping of an episode (possibly tonights episode) and they believed it all.:thinkin:
He must of got caught up in the hype. I believe that he believed.:yup:
10 car lengths!!!!!! were you guys watching that? don't show up and plan on taking someone's car if you need 10 car lengths, that's just stupid
From what I understand, PINKS buys both of the cars before hand, then awards the titles of both to the winner. I can't confirm if this is true or not though.
It was pretty good,I wasnt to impressed when the starter pulled in a 6 wheeled hummer,now his head is really gonna get big. And I thought it was 2 new episodes tonight but I guess not.
yeah what's with the same one twice in a row?
oh yeah did I mention 10 f'n car lenghts!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'm sure each contestant is re-imbursed. It is part of the cost of the show. Sure it is still sad to lose your ride but they will have enough money to start over. Otherwise, just like previously posted, why would you race equal with an obviously inferior car? Still a fun show. Just watch it for the entertainmant. It's better than figure skating on the other channel!!:lol:
I hate that show, it's so stupid. When I want to see racing, I want to see racing, not stupid drama like, 'omg you have more naaaaawss than me so I need 56 car lengths'. The show is too long to hold my attention. At least to me it is not exciting when one car is so much faster than the other than you actually have to give car lengths away...
a guy whos name im not going to say was on that show last year.
hes from the chicagoland area, you guys figure it out.
he or the guy he raced didnt lose titles.
Oh well its good entertainment on TV,espicailly after a few drinks,lolQuote:

it was the first one I'd ever seen. I enjoy watching idiots lose their cars to a faster car. Seriously, you can't rely on spotting to get you a win, and you definitly shouldn't bet your car (realistically or not) on a race against a car you know is faster. What if they won't barter you far enough to lose? idiots, they make my day
Fuck that show, who goes by some skinny dweeb who knows nothing about cars flagging them to go? The show is fake, and im sick of the "I need 8 lengths to make it even" If you need lengths then how is your car better than his?
i said that seven times already. . .lol
Yeah today was my first time watching that show and it wasnt all that. I actually thought it was going to be a cool show. It is kinda stupid that some bald dumbass driving a 6 wheeled hummer has to flag em down and that they get car lengths to make it even.
Let me get this right, that "reformed junkie bum" looking dude, the "host", is now driving a 6 wheeled Hummmer.......:lol:
Pinks just shows a bunch of ricers with nicer cars
Amen bro...that guy sucks donkey balls...center of attention...he aint racing nothing but his mouth....he needs to STFU and be replaced with a tree...do it right....the show is about damn near just him and his canned macho bullshit....I dont even care for it anymore...Quote:

SHOW SUCKS! what's wrong with a tree ? too many breakdowns, too much N20, the host is just plain bad. I'd rather watch womens skating:tired:
I think the fame of the show went to the host's head....what a dick...he is "announced" and rolls up in a 6 wheel hummer:rolleyes: gimme a fucking break.....then, then, then, he highers 2 "advisers" one of them that dumb fuck mustang guy who was jumping the start racing Tony Pomerlo (sp):rolleyes: That show has gone way down....too many people at the start line talking shit....hell why dont they just close a track, and have 2 guys, and 2 guys only race....the way it should be......
aggreed, and use a tree the way it should be down if i lose i want to lose not be sandbagged. :yup: :burnout:Quote:

Talk shit and put it on the line...STFU and watch...whichever you prefer....and yeah that dork from last year in the Mustang is a "consultant" now...I guess he lost his job at McDonalds....yeah...he adds value....they should rename the show to "Cluster Fuck" and be done with it.
OK...I just sent my thoughts to them...
http://speedtv.com/feedback/
Basically just said it is a sideshow circus and has lost its appeal from this old school hot rodder....the negotiations they use make the entire concept of a drag race irrelevant and has turned it into a showcase for a bald headed dude....
aggreed again:Popcorn: :yup:Quote:

If I want to see some women whining about some BullShi...Crap, I will watch Opra!
Stupid F'in show that is not real and tries to act like it is.
Lame! Lame! Lame!
i agree with everyone. the most recent race i saw was 2 fox bodies, one of the owners being Justin Burcham of Jpc racing. to those of you not familiar hes owner of the first 05 stang in the 9s. the kid has sick stuff. his car was light years better then the 83 of the other guy. the other guy was purely trying to scam him out of his faster car with the lengths issue. if you need 10 lengths wats the point of racing. he might as well jus race in reverse. as far as the starter goes, he has to go. if i was one of the racers it would take everything i had to not fuck his face up. skinny punk non car guy. and how can arms going down ever be accurate? if they insist on a spotter at least have it be a bikini girl.
oh yeah that dumb dork with the mustang from last year might be a dork but he waxed that camaro. if it was heads up and they jus flat out raced he wouldve smoked that camaro every time.
My Dad can kick your Dad's ass.
but I want three car lengths to run from himQuote:

If they wanted to spot someone a lead, just set the tree up for bracket.
