Street Outlaws: Memphis

A couple yrs ago, the original Street Outlaws show snagged me. Since then, I went back and watched every show. But the later seasons, it's been not nearly as interesting, I watch with less and less enthusiasm. The show is running dry and not all that interesting anymore.

Back when the New Orleans spin off came out, I tried but found it hard to get into. That experience kept me from ever trying to watch Memphis Outlaws. But all that changed, as recently in the discovery Go app, I watched the "Biggest, Baddest and fastest in the country for 100,000 dollas". This 8 teams tournament that starts each race with the JJ arm drop + chase is a race, instead of flashlight starts or a red, yellow, green light. And after a few, I got it. I understood. This makes for a very different kind of racing. It is much more, dare I say, street. There is ever more to it, it is strategic.. strategy. But it is even a bigger deal than I ever thought, a real game changer. I went back and started watching Street Outlaws Memphis, it has really grown on me.

The arm drop, chase is a race, giving the hit, giving car lengths... It's a whole different world. It really opens the doors to even more racing. Not just these elite top notch race cars being called "street". More cars can get in. Even junkyard special LS builds. It's just way more raw and feels a lot more real.

I am not sure if I can ever look at the old street outlaws the same now. All their whining over the light, not seeing it and who jumped it and bla bla bla. I never seen it until recently but the 405 is just doing things in a completely different world. It is elitism. A snobbishness. The 405 is more like taking track racing to the street.. and I had none of this in my head until I finally just started watching Memphis Street Outlaws.

I think I am gonna have a hard time watching the original Street Outlaws, if they come out with a new season that is. I am pretty sure this completely changed mind set is gonna effect my ability to like the original.

I really enjoy Memphis street outlaws now. It's just great

JJ da Boss makes this show so much better than the original Street Outlaws from OK City (and I love that show too). His authentic personality and the love he and his crew show for each other is not found on the OKC show.

Most these people don't race or even own a car. These bad reviews are from people that suck on the 405. This is a great showx don't let the noobs say other wise. And to the 1 star rating you are a joke, just like in life, sad and lonely.

I will never watch Memphis street outlaws again . It is without a doubt rigged races. A lot of the shows on discovery channel are staged or rigged. I'm done with watching the channel.

This show depicts a group of street racers who are marginal at best. The OKC Street Outlaws has destroyed this group of pretenders every time they race. Why should anyone watch a group who are not close to the talent of OKC ???
