Street Outlaws

Whoever thought a play by play announcer for Memphis Street Outlaws needs to be fired along with the announcer. HORRIBLE. If it looks good on paper, it most likely isn't a good idea in reality. They burnout, JJ drops his arms, The cars go, they 'cruise' down the road, etc, etc, etc,....SHUT UP !!!!

Wouldn't it be better for the car is the drivers weren't so fat?

Nothing wrong with watching people build, prepare and race drag cars. That's what this show is supposed to be about. It is let down badly by taking up time with those involved pretending to be tough and cool. Join that together with the alleged unscripted trash talk and those moments make it embarrassing.

As a former female street racer, I used to LOVE this show! The original premise was great and pretty darn realistic! But somewhere along the line, big Chief turned into an egotistical a-hole, Asian & Farmtruck became a joke, and the whole premise overall just went downhill for me. I prefer the Memphis edition these days....

The show has really improved now that they are racing in the "No Prep" series. It's much more organized, and fair. They don't have Big Chief on the show much anymore and that is the best part. He's not on there manipulating the races, or stalling or backing down at the last second. I guess Big Chief and Murder Nova can't even compete in the No Prep because they are too slow, or once again, can't manipulate things. Maybe they will disappear altogether like Varley did. The real stars of the show are now shining, along with other real racers from around the country. It's now a show about racing and it's kind of exciting watching now, and nor just a bunch of hicks telling corny jokes and crazy antics all of the time.
