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

Since jj daboss took over from the old version, the shows come alive. Full of colour and diversity. Now I watch entire episodes. JJ has done it. He gives full narratives and sums up everything completely. He's the best and makes one laugh.

I like to see how contesters come from all other states to compete. I wish they'd interview both contenders afterwards - a little more in detail.

At first I thought JJ was a bit short on his elaboration of events as he sums up, but now I'm satisfied he seems to address everything and seems more composed in his demeanor.

The older version of street outlaws with big chief was too triste. Too black n white with virtually the same thing week after week. Now it's more exciting.

I can't get enough. Would like to see b.chief back, racing at least, but am happy with JJ daboss in control.

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.

STREET OUTLAWS is traveling to the toughest and wildest streets in the South, as it heads to Memphis to spotlight JJ Da Boss and his team of family and friends who have been racing together for decades.

10 minutes of program. 20 minutes of commercials Never watch again. I have many cars and friends that race but they do Not watch this show due to its non-integrity of true racing. Not truly yours, lost a fan....
