Looks to me like the guy in the truck needs to work on his suspension/traction.

That, and learn how to drive better. Does your foot really need to be either off the pedal or pinning it to the mat?

Farm-truck is a bit of a local legend. I have never been part of the street racing or drag racing scene but I have heard of him even before the TV show.

That thing weighs in @5000lbs like it sits. To make it waaay in to the 10's is mucho horsepower and mountains of torque

I dunno whats worse, the stupidity of the guy driving the truck, or the crowd for standing next to his driving.

Okay so is this a stretch of closed road? If it isn't these guys are no better than a bunch of motorcycles from NY.
Don't get me wrong we used to do a pile of street racing back in the early eighties, but we went out in the country, no traffic

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with the current generation. Complete idiots. These guys are just about as bad as the asswipes in the middle east that practice drifting on multi lane highways, in and out of regular traffic.

Yeah, no thanks.

Before they went, I was thinking that the drag truck was going to take out the mustang and the fella starting the race. Almost did!

Im suprised there can be that many people standing around on the roadside, and they have time to torch the road and do burnouts, run lights for a few blocks, and no cops anywhere. Ive never been to a huge street race like that. Certainly something for stupid 20 year olds.
