There's another thread here somewhere on here already, IMHFO It's just another scripted reality show, from what I've seen they only race 1/8 mile too... I'd bet the police close off the roads for the production company, get paid to be there... Bold statement, from them, about possibly the fastest in the Country, typical car guy or reality show boasting crap.... Saw the leader guy "Chief" on the old Pinks show a few times, he never really had a "truly fast car" on that show, he always was just a loud mouth/"speaker head"/negotiator too, that I can remember anyway... I'll continue to watch thou, I watch all the car shows, even some I don't care for much, it's far better than the rest of the TV programming... Hollywood Celebrity type "fake people crap" like the Kardassians, some House Wives of some damn city or yet another damn Space invasion or Zombie gore show, stupid Vampires, or one of the way too many Cop & Lawyer shows... I use to do allot of street racing when I was young, so did my step father Bob when I was a child in the late 60's in Concord area, me it was all over mostly Northern Calif. & some Southern Calif. & there were some damn fast cars even back then, late 70's into early-mid 80's... Probably not the smartest thing to do, I have some friends that did it into the 90's & even some today still, but we had confirmed & ligament 7 - 8 - 9 -10 second 1/4 mile cars {basically the faster cars were mostly all just, "race cars with license plates"} that would street race for big bucks or even just bragging rights, some weren't the sharpest tools in the shed either.... I race at the track only now, it's not worth the hassle, car confiscation or jail time, well maybe a quick street lite romp occasionally, I am a "real car guy" after-all...
