That's not street racing IMO. If you have to trailer it to a roadway then trailer it to the track. Street racing to me is someone pulls up beside me in there car or truck and we take off or go to a back road in the country and race each other in the vehicle we drove there. Not this crap. I don't street race anything but I did when we where younger and we never had drag cars, that's a true street race. This show is crap and I hope all of them including the discovery channel staff all get locked up. And anyone who put there racing before their family needs to be taken out back and have some sense beat into him. But that's just my 2cents worth

I live outside of Houston and haven't notice the truck racing, but it doesn't surprise me. Almost every time we go down to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, we're racing cars on the highway the entire way over on Friday nights. We keep it "safer" and wait for open stretches. By "we" I mean the guys I go with, I don't do that crap. Too dangerous and too risky. My truck is my baby and I treat her better than I treat myself haha.

Usmc, I absolutely agree. I sort of said the same thing earlier, but this isn't street racing. There's literally no purpose to doing this. If you want to race purpose-built dragsters, GO TO THE TRACK. Only a few of the vehicles on the show could even closely resemble daily driver type cars. "Farm truck" is the best example, and Chief's is another. Street racing is all about racing your daily driver/ street legal "fun time" vehicle off of red lights, stop signs, etc. This is one of the dumbest things I've seen, and in no way real street racing. Hate to say it, but the events depicted in the Fast and Furious movies are a lot closer to real street racing. At least that is a community of car guys racing normal vehicles.

I love fast n loud. Richard rawlings reminds me of my dad in some ways...minus the bling on his arms.

Street outlaws is totally staged and a ridiculous show. Its just a bunch of dramatic babies who think they are being tough dudes. Seriously tho...did you guys see where the little asain dude took MMA classes so he can fight for himself? Stupid.

Amish Mafia is a better show than Street Outlaws. Unfortunately, I love custom trucks/cars/engines so much that I cant turn the channel lol.

Its all about Mountain Men and Alaska the last frontier.

And Yukon Men.

I think Richard Rawlings has a prefect set up. Making money having people build cars that you can sell, hunting for cars all the time, buying/selling/flipping cars constantly, negotiating cases of beer on deals sometimes, dealing only in cash. Sounds pretty awesome to me!

Last night's Fast and Loud and Street Outlaws were good. Farm truck was hustlin idiots in races. If somebody asked you to race for $100 in an old truck, you should assume it's got some extra curriculars going on!

Fast and Loud is riding the wave right now, for sure. One of the best shows on the air.

Richard and Aaron are the real deal, and some of the supporting cast like 'Deep Pockets' Dennis make for good TV.

I hope they can keep it up. Reality based shows can flame out fast or turn lousy in a hurry.

Not hoping for them to fade in any way, just enjoying the ride while it lasts.
