Which one would you rather watch? With all the success that the Street Outlaws TV show has seen, and with an ever increasing diversity in the world of Drag Racing, we wondered which you would rather watch. Would you rather sit through an NHRA National Event, an episode of Street Outlaws, or BangShift’s LIVE broadcast from the Throwdown in T-Town? Sure there are a jillion other races too, but we wonder if faced with these three choices what would you pick.
And when you answer in the comment section below, let us know WHY. We truly want to know what gets your blood going and why.
ThrowDown 1st (Baddest door slammers out there) —–NHRA 2nd NITRO,NITRO, NITRO—-Outlaws OK TV show
Street Outlaws, Hot Air. NHRA, Stale Dying Air. T-Town, Fresh Air, but not really an ultimate yet. Give me Drag Week for street and PDRA for strip. Pro Mods Amundo!
Throwdown in T-Town. Here’s why.
Throwdown in T-Town: Excitement. There’s no substitute for grass roots racing teams clashing with professional shops in wheels-up class racing. This type of racing is getting huge in my area, and will probably get much bigger.
Street Outlaws TV: What a shitty show. A reality shows with cars in it sometimes. I have respect for the machines, and I don’t completely hate the scripted drama most of the time, but the editing of the races is terrible. Why does it cut a single 1/8th mile race 15 times before the finish? There are better camera angles from vertical video idiots on YouTube. You can’t get a true appreciation for how fast those cars are with the shitty editing. Terrible. Also, Street Outlaws promotes street racing. I’m absolutely no white-knight for street racing, but I can’t handle the fanboys of the show that defend it because “They’re actually doing it legally, it’s just for show!” It’s promoting street racing, and you’re an idiot if you believe otherwise.
NHRA: I absolutely love pro stock. Pro Stock Trucks was my all-time favorite class. Listening to the most fine-tuned cars on the planet jam gears down the quarter mile is every bit of exciting. But I think pro stock is a bit like jazz music. It takes a musician to truly appreciate jazz, and it takes a car builder to truly appreciate pro stock. The sportsman classes in NHRA don’t get enough love. They’re the best drivers in their craft, but it’s not too exciting to watch. Everything else NHRA gets boring after the first few watches. They keep slowing down the fast classes for insurance. The PR of the drivers and politics of the industry are going to kill the NHRA. It’s boring and nobody cares anymore.
Throwdown – handsdown
