the races are real and that is what I find entertaining. oklahoma racers going up against racers from around the country. i'm sure a lot of people tune in hoping to see a crash as well.
You didn't even have to tell us which one crashed, we all know GTR's are too good to lose control for no reason lol. I was at Thunder Valley one night when murder nova and some other guys from the show were out there filming. Its all staged. Think about it, lets go out and actually street race, break the law, then put it on national TV? With our names lol
"Don't mind me officer, we are just cleaning these roads with a street sweeper at 2 am for no good reason"
Don't knock my legitimate employment. Less traffic and street side parking is open in the middle of the night in the business districts.
One of the first episodes had them "steet" racing but you could see the runway markings so that leads me to think they were racing at an airport.
Yeah, because personal responsibility shouldn't be your responsibility. What a joke.
Lets go ahead and ban boxing and MMA fighting as well, because done outside a ring it's considered assault and battery. It's nothing more than a staged reality show. If you're too stupid to understand that and choose to participate in it, as well as choose to be a spectator to the stupidity, well, that's what Darwin Awards are for.
Not my point at all. I'm all for individual responsibility. I'm talking about understanding NHRA's position and the impact on their image, in today's litigious society, when when of their "members" openly engages in illegal street racing and something bad happens. Which has clearly happened on more than one occasion.
Do boxers and MMA fighters routinely engage in illegal fights outside the auspices of the organizations they are members of? Do they violate numerous laws and injure, maim, or kill people in the process? If they do, I bet they aren't members of that club for very long.
Wanna be a super cool illegal street racer? Want to pretend you are one on a stupid fake reality T.V. show? Knock yourself out. NHRA just made it clear that choice isn't consistent with NHRA membership…which puts it back in the individual responsibility realm. Make your choices and live with 'em instead of bitching about NHRA kicking you out of their club. I don't see what's wrong with that.
I can personally attest to the authenticity of their racing. My office is near their place. They like to beat their personal record of how fast they can go from their drive to the stop sign. It's like working near an 16-older honkey tonk on Friday night. Dangerous business!
