The word is that there are some old airfields that they mainly use.
It's so far removed from street racing, as I'm sure there are lots on here who will tell us, but that's &quot;reality&quot; tv for you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

Just like any other reality show, it's not, or the vast majority is not.

Either way, I like to see the cars and racing; sure beats 98% of the rest of the carp on TV.

So maybe the &quot;List&quot; isn't run on the streets but how about the VW?

I really think Farmtruck and Azn could have their own show where they go out and beat up on expensive cars.... not to mention they really just look like they are having a good old time .... all the time

Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....
 

Not a bad show last night. Is anyone familiar with the guys they ran from Cal? On the prior episode when they ran the guys from Drag Week, I recognized some of those cars and driver names.

Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....
 

I have to say, this show has actually gotten much better over time.

Last night's episode was really pretty good. And it was interesting to see Jeff Lutz's '57 in the mix last week.

Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....
 

Stupid question; why don't they just race at the track? They can still place bets and, in my opinion, half of these cars aren't &quot;street cars&quot; anymore. If they were they'd drive the things to their race location.

Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....
 

Yeah, I know they race on a runway or closed highway and they've lost that &quot;outlaw&quot; part of the show, but the cars are real and the racing is real. I don't care about the drama about getting caught racing on the street as these cars are fast, and actually running them on the street would be extremely stupid. But, I like the competition and the heads-up fastest car wins type of racing you don't find on drag strips anymore. Bracket racing is just boring and removes the competitiveness IMHO..
