Default Street Outlaws...New Orleans??? What's this???

I don't watch the 405 outlaws much (even though they used to race not far from me...), What's up with this 'Orleans bunch, a minor league for the 405?

Was surprised nitrous explosion did not hurt someone....

Since Kye Kelly kept beating Big Chief and Daddy Dave, etc...

They gave him his own Show

He won almost 100,000 in races with 405 Crew.

them OKC boys are a bit too unruly and the network needs a new group that do what they are told.

LOL, what little I paid attention to the Or"leans bunch, I don't remember seeing any "gentlemenly" behavior...

They were real lucky nobody got hurt, that's why there shouldn't be so many people up on the starting line. In the 90's I can remember Ford Mustang intakes that were carbon fiber grenading with a nitrous backfire and sending carbon fiber pieces flying, that stuff could cut you to pieces. I had a really bad backfire because a rat had chewed through the wires on a solenoid. FIRE BAD so say Frankenstein.

Crap can fly anywhere.

One year at Norwalk the Lane Official for the track, (great guy), was doing his job and a engine popped its guts right off the line.

No one was hurt directly next to the car but a piece of metal WENT BACKWARDS and nailed the Lane Official 100 feet behind the car. Knocked him right down. Lucky he was not seriously hurt.

So the point being when an engine lets go it could send crap anywhere around the vehicle.

What about the unpinned door that flew across the opposite lane. Question, could that have been a means for dq. Crossing the center line.

Could definitely be means for me to have to use a pair of vice grips to pull the seat cushion out of my crack. You can see how the show takes their minds off of race prep, that should never happen.

I like the OKC version. I would rather watch pinks over the New Orleans version and I am not a pinks fan.

The show definitely lacks the smoothness of the 405 show- everything Kelly says seems like he is reading from a teleprompter, and everyone else just looks nervous.
PLUS WHERE ARE THE PONCHO'S? I miss the boys in Oklahoma, at least they knew how to entertain..

I hope you're right!!! This show sucks in comparison to the OKC show. I'm not watching anymore. Maybe the ratings will drop.

While I think it's not as good as the OKC show it still beats about 90 prevent of the crap I get with my 200 channels.

I'm afraid it will be continued.

It seems to have all the stuff most of the 'crowd' wants.

Wrecks, explosions, fights, BS'ing, etc.

The door flying off is prime example along with the nitrous explosion.

On just about any track any debris crossing into the path of the opponent is a disqualification.
Also it looked like in one of the 'flashbacks' (camera angle changes) that he was fish-tailing across the center line?

I figure they are trying for the wilder crowd?

Have to agree, not as good as OK version, but still better than other crap on TV. I hope it stays and I will always watch. It will likely get better. One thing that I hate is the way they break up the passes with 6 or 8 different camera angles to the point that I loose the feel of how the cars went down the dang track! I'm sure they don't want people to be able to get estimated ET, but dang, how about one camera swap at half pass, and then other interesting angles after the race. Couple weeks ago at local track, truck spit out 2ft section of driveshaft in burnout box and broke leg of worker.

Doing it on the street an adrenalin rush you can't imagine. Now that that's said
Give it a little time and it'll get better, I remember every one haten on
The first show OKC when it first came out.
Yeah I know street racings dangerous but it shore is a blast and I'll keep doing
It until it gets boring and switch over to watching soap operas. LOL
