I see enough morons walking down the street everyday. I don't need to watch television for that.

White trash seems to be all the age in reality tv right now. As soon as I think they've hit rock bottom, they prove me wrong.

Hmmm, nobody with a sense of humor here? Guess you're all so elite, you don't get it. Oh well...
BTW, there IS one of the premier dirt tracks of the west coast right here in Linn County, Orygun. I do indeed feel sorry for those who haven't seen the "outlaw" sprint cars have at it...

Paul, contrary to what you may think I actually spend many a weekend evening at our local dirt track, and travel at least once each year to see the World of Outlaws sprint cars race. It doesn't give me any desire to watch a poorly made and overly dramatic reality show about white trash and racing.

If it was classic American muscle resto-mods racing imports without all of the extra "reality" crap, I'd watch it. What's not great about watching cars with enormous firebreathing V-8s duke it out with modern stuff (assuming the results are left to stand however they actually turn out).

+1 on hating the drama. This is what ruins new shows for me that have interesting concepts to them.

My 155hp 911 may not run on the long tracks with them but I bet my Cobra replica will. Since it is an American V8 does that make me a redneck?

Retired, finally

I was a bit disappointed that they are using less than half the track at Carolinas, and they are NOT using the better part, IMHO. The other part would be better suited to well set up momentum cars.
That said, I'd still like to take on a Mustang or a Camaro with my 911 on that track. Heck, even the GF said she's sorry we didn't have a chance to run.

Watched the one with Kenny Wallace last night. Pretty funny commentary.
But the driving is bad on both sides. Some knucklebutt with a purple M3 showed his prowess (nice word, eh?) by driving with one hand and letting the wheel spin/self-center on track-out. That was impressive...... He got beat by a 2012 Boss 302, which is a pretty bad ass car. The next douche got off easy with his Lambo by beating a 4000 lb. Fairlane that was driven by a redneck who couldn't even keep the thing on the track. Embarrassing. Then Mr. Lambo got beat by Kenny Wallace in the Superchicken '77 Firebird. Awesome car. The Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Am : Ghostworks Garage I would have expected Wallace to blow the guy away but it seemed like he was going easy on the superchicken. I didn't see him pushing it that hard at all.

I watched the Lambo episode last night. I don't need to watch any further. The host, and show, suck.
