With stakes like this better vote for both. With out the decoder how will we ever wade thru the, well you know
The podcast they do kinda spoils the ending.

Basically, it was build a sub 500 cube steel roof and quarter car. One of the show characters had to drive in the car they built, 66-72 american car.
Monkey took a free challenger they had donated from dodge and hung panels on a chassis that was already built (aka brought over from the prostock team richard owns). The prostock team built the car with parts they had on the shelf and it was driven by the prostock driver. Monkey shop had their guy's show up in the episode and look like they built stuff but the prostock team did everything.
Basically a repeat of the Roadkill episode. Build to these rules, except not and totally overdo it because winning is more important than having fun.
Street guys bought Palbykin's old 90's chassis which was a awesome car but still a promod. Threw on parts they had laying around to bring the show back to the roots.
It's a ratings ploy basically. Monkey was decent show when it was just a couple guys in a shop. Now its a giant conglomorate and lost its edge. Same with the american chopper show.
Fastnloud will go the same way as the tuettels did in american chopper. Spend a ton of money on marketing and overhead and have discovery support your lifestyle. Show leaves and so does the money. At least the SO guy's have little to no overhead once the show leaves.
I watch SO when I can mostly because Shearer's pontiac engine build is awesome. Running that fast on a production cast edelbrock head and what was a production iron blocked filled is insane (ive seen billet block pics floating around). You could replicate that engine he ran a couple years ago with a 455 block and a summit/butler catalog. Run radial vs. the world on production pontiac stuff is super cool.

Well, I like the Judge, or new Crow, better than the Crow-mod. I like Street Outlaws more than most of the reality TV... C'mon reality TV like Naked and Afraid... At the least it has motivated some kids into liking cars more, our sport and life style needs all the help.it can get.
I think, or hope, what they try to show is all the crap talking and poking and prodding that really goes on with street or drag racing (or at least it does around here). There are lists and race nights, but, it's got blown up with the Discovery budget infusion.

I agree and disagree.
I never watched the show simply because I don't like shows that promote criminal activity.
But the race got me interested.
And i don't like shows that could bring negative attention to our hobby.
Especially to young kids who are easily influenced.
Yes I street raced in my day Fountain Ave, Crossbay, 150 street, and the Bronx
if someone lined up next to me now I would probably go for it.
I sound like a hypocrite ...I know

I just hope the arguing on the show ins't to bad I hate watching crap like that. We already know they are butt hurt that a moneyman in'st going to drive I really hope most the show isn't them fighting over that.
It is just stupid (from every point of view) for a none exp driver to race that much HP. Simply put if i was a racer and you was Not. I would not line my expensive car and my life because someone that is more likely to hit me and the wall than the finish line.
The SO know that Richard is a money man nothing more. Stupid for them to try childish games because they are worried to lose a race....>Like no one ever lost one? Hell there is a loser in every race, nothying wrong with losing.
Again hope they don't ruin the show with grown men crying...nothing worse than watching a grown mane cry.
