I saw a commercial somewhere that A&E is doing a show or series of shows on street racing? Did anybody catch this?

 

Nathan,

I seen it last night. All that they featured were rice burners... There were a few muscle cars in the backround,but the whole special was about one riceburner trying to defeat another running 12.1`s( Honda Civic)

LAUNCH HARD

 

I caught it, too, and I thought it was pretty lame. Not that I have anything against rice burners (my daily driver is a Civic), but I thought most of these people had the mentality of a clam. I fail to see the point of endangering bystanders, risking large fines, license suspensions, insurance hikes, etc, when you can go to the strip and race under controlled conditions without all the down side. In fact, if you really want to have fun racing, as another member pointed out, get a shifter cart and have a blast.
