Street Outlaws: America's List

This show pretty much sucks. In a three HOUR episode there is literally about three MINUTES of racing. All they do is talk. Plus the silliness of calling people out, running around the race areas, hiding, avoiding others so they can't "force" the other guy/gal to race is just childish. Just race people. Discovery is really milking all they can out of this show... and they aren't doing a very good job. I can literally watch a three hour episode in about 40 minutes. Thank goodness for the FFW button. Oh.. Big Chief sucks!

As with the other series of SO this has become extremely scripted. The races themselves are still great to watch as you feel they're the only random scenario in the show. Im not a fan of shows that are staged pretending not to be but the cars make it worth the watch. Its just a shame we have to see Chuck week in week out. I'll add another star if they can him.

The premise of this show has always been stupid; let's see who can tiptoe their Pro Mod racing car down a street the fastest. It's like seeing who can whisper the loudest or walk the fastest.

America's list has made the premise all the sillier by allowing the "chase is the race." Now it's a contest to see who can jump the start the most and lure their rival into hopelessly chasing them.

When you add these things to the absurd "call out" system that has rivals hiding in bushes, under trailers etc to avoid having to race completely, you have a really, really stupid show that has nothing to do with street racing.

As if the whole "chase is a race" thing wasn't bad enough, the hide and seek call-out game just made this whole thing into a joke.

No one cares who can win by starting before the light, that's not a real race, that's a game.

AND it doesn't have any bearing on who's "faster."

Then the hide and seek game.... Moving up the list has nothing to do with how fast you are, it's how good you can hide after you lose. This seemed more like a kids cartoon than adults trying to man up against each other and ACTUALLY race. No question why this series didn't survive. I didn't personally care to see who the best hider and jumper was!

I've been paving asphalt roads for 20 years the crown on the road is 2% on each side of the road. So that can make the car in the right lane pull to the right an the left lane pull to the left so you have to compensate for that.
