Just wondering, does anyone watch this show on the Speed Channel? Personally, I think it's really entertaining, although sometimes a lot less so when you get a real ***hole or two on the show. *shrugs*

And you know what would make a really good episode...

I think everyone is gonna be a little bit of a A-hole when it means they lose their ride...losing a race is one thing...losing a car with so much time, money and sweat poured into it is another...I'm actually amazed so many people come on the show seemingly ready to lose a car.
I could never do it...too many things can go wrong to lose a race. I often wonder how much footage has been edited out when all the cursing and finger pointing gets going.

OK, I tried to read the topic that was posted, but there's just to much stupid crap...lol Care to sum up what happened? I know that Zoomer supposedly made some comments or something (boo freakin' hoo) and was banned, but that's about as far as I got.

What does MGM and MIGPC?

thats typical clubgp. MICGPrez wanted zoomer to donate 3000 to MGM for it. Long story short, zooomer said no because they really didnt deserve it (already had the funds) so they were trying to make a profit, and it became a pissing match. I side with zooomer completely.

All I know is I think Rich Christianson (sp?) is a big tool bag. I really don't like him and its very apparent that he has no idea what hes talking about on the show. If I was on the show and I was negociating...and Rich tried to barge in and say something I would just say "Rich. Shut up. You don't know what your talking about. Let us MEN talk for a second. (pause for a second) Tool."

Couple episodes come to mind my favorite one was when the host jumped on a crotch rocket the owner told him it's touchy. Hot shot host blew him off and with the bike in a lean in the middle of a turn from a slow roll jumps on the throttle and low sides the bike. Tearing up said bike and injuring his arm pretty good. I was like ha ha show off teaches you.

And the other was a guy with a fox body stang broke a drive line and a guy in the crowd offered the drive line off of his car he drove to watch the race with. And the car lost the race. They never said if the guy from the stands got his driveline back.

Man, that would suck if you didn't get the driveline back... lol

And as far as being jerks, you KNOW coming on the show that you might lose your car - at least act like an adult about it. That's what ticks me off, these people acting like children when they knew what the stakes were when they SIGNED AWAY THE TITLE OF THEIR CAR. lol

Hey, here's a question...a couple times drivers have said that their engines will not run without NOS. Why is that? confused

And in the episode I'm watching now, one of the teams keeps saying "We've got a woman driver, we've got an inexperienced driver." I don't care if she's a woman or not, but why would you bring an inexperienced driver when you car is on the line?! Duh...

i think that's because they run dry NOS and they dont have to run gas, they just run NOS like gas, but i dont know

they mean that they dont make any hp without N2O
they could have a very nice 900 hp engine on N2O but without N2O they might be makeing 150 hp so it goes from a car that traps at 150mph to a 85mph trap.....

You can't run NOS like that. NOS itself isn't combustible, it must be combined with a fuel to work. All it does it increase the power of the combustion that fueling the fire with oxygen and cooling the air.
