Drag Week Guys On Street Outlaws Tonight!!!!

[4eyeTroy]

Lutz, Fink and I've heard a couple other DW guys will be "street racing" on the discovery channels Street Outlaws tv show tonight at 9PM. The episode is named "Drag Week Education" so wel see how they portray the event. I would think them being friends with lutz and knowing how much jeff respects the event that they will acknowledge the significance of what has been accomplished the last few years at DW. But you never know how discovery is going to cut it up. I'm pumped to see it but regardless of the out come, and as much as i like the cars on this show, they shouldn't come close to Lutz or Fink. if they do wel all know it's just television.

I saw a "test hit" of Lutz car on the street(facebook vid) and it looked and sounded damn good.

I saw the test hit too, and it looked and sounded great. At least now they (OKC) will be running against some cars I know are fast, just hope they don't leave too much film on the cutting room floor. Too bad they didn't invite 1320 to shot the un-edited version.

The episode should be very cool. I really didn't think Jeff's car could make a pass on the street but he proved me wrong. Shawn Finks nova moved out just as well. It was a blast to hang out there. I don't think there would of been anything shown by 1320 that wont be on the show. The only thing you will not get to see is everyone hanging out eating dinner together talking cars, it was kinda like the night before Drag Week starts.

Will be in the easy chair at 8 for sure. Hope some of them get signed up for Drag Week 2014. That would be a blast for sure.

You KNOW they won't let either of those guys win... I shut down my cable, as I really don't watch any TV, and got tired of giving away 1200.00 a year, but I would like to see this episode, anywhere you know I could see it on the web?

Chief has posted on the bullet that he would like to bring his GTO to drag week. I think that car is pretty cool. They probably wont call his car a monte carlo either since its still Pontiac powered

Chiefs Twin turbo against a n/a small block small tire car.

Eddie you aren't missing anything, except that GTO they brought out - it's pretty awesome, probably 2300-2500hp pontiac with a pair of PT-88s. They call it 3000hp but, I say 2400

Yep.....pretty much scripted for tv......as much drama as HGTV's House Hunters

Yeah Thom that's what I thought too but Lutz said it was all real so I guess I'll go with that?

Eddie you aren't missing anything, . . .

DG, I respectfully disagree. It was a great episode. (And I don't say that merely because I live right at ground zero of the 405 . . . just a couple of long walks to either Midwest Street Cars or to Big Chief's house . . . But I've got no dog in the fight . . . I wouldn't be able to find "the list" with an NSA task force and a Turbonique rocket axle . . . Not to mention I have a five-dollar wagering limit and have to stay on the straight and narrow side of the law to stay employable).

The problem with Big Chief's wholly untested Goat was that he could only hook up maybe 500 of that phat twin-turbo h.p. (he went a tad agricultural). But he didn't take the default win when he plainly could have. And why would they have Chief lose if the results were preordained?

As for Lutz and Fink . . . both cars set up for prepped 1320 running against highly-experienced racers with cars set up for an unprepped 660 . . . Fink wasn't tuned into leaving on the flashlight (a lot harder to get perfect than a typical DW/bracket sportsman tree IMO). Lutz seemed to need more gear (and likely would have caught Daddy Dave's Sonoma on a 1/4 mile pass . . . which Dave admitted).

Lutz said these guys were serious. No reason to doubt his veracity.

Lutz, Fink and the other guys rep'd DW well, despite having less than optimized tools for the job. It was just harder than all the internet "experts" say it is.

Exactly what I said would happen.. Jeff coulda' gapped that Sonoma on 10 pounds! That was all staged, and I believe Jeff can't say anything due to contractual agreements. The test hit Jeff made, the car was a MISSILE, then he runs the Sonoma and stunk the joint up, do any of you seriously believe what you saw??? Jeff has forgotten more than all the OKC crowd know combined!

[greenXpress]

I thought I heard something about a rocker being broke. Believe Jeff said something to that effect in the background. Then again, I've been on a school bus a LONG time and the last thing you want working there is your ears.

I don't remember the 62 or the Chevelle having done DW. What year did they do it or were they just filler for the DW racers?
