We are good, Mr ho428. Can't be mad at a road racer. Too much good in them.
The racers have committed an enormous amount of $$$ and energy/time into making this show successful. I give Justin and the guys a lot of credit for that deal. Tom V.

The show is NOW done with cordoned off areas, at the beginning of the show 3+ years ago I don't believe the same was true. When they re-run the first season shows you don't see extra lights, hidden emergency vehicles etc. that you do now.
Remember the furor the NHRA had with the show in the beginning about glorification of street racing, pulling Justin's NHRA credentials etc.? Discovery probably started the whole series on a shoestring and now that it's a hit cable series making money they've restructured the filming so that the cast is semi safe so they're not going to be sued in the case of someone being hurt or worse. Justin knows what's changed since the beginning of the show, if he's allowed to comment on it is another thing. Since the whole thing is done in a straight line on dumb as-phalt, the thing that keeps me watching it is the Pontiac powered car is #1 on the list.

a little late, but to clarify... Not every county in PA requires emissions testing. I live in Mercer county and it requires emissions, Crawford above me, and Lawrence below me, do not. I went the antique plates route, so no type of inspection for my junk.

I do believe that the place they race the most, is concrete road.
did anybody get to see the 2016 cash days that was not part of the show? Limpy put it on and didn't allow pro mods, so chief couldn't run (and was not happy about it). I can't help to wonder if that was the catalyst or just another contributing factor to getting rid of the pro mods on the show. this is a kind of "documentary" of murder nova, made by Midwest street cars, on the deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMpV_I5xrJM ***ADULT LANGUAGE*** and this is a more tv version covering the entire race by 1320. some adult language, but not nearly as much as the first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0GuQq1ZQGk imo, they would risk the golden goose, and run their cars when they want and how they want. these guys are just my kind of crazy. |

Those guys on gold rush never quite make it? They get new excavators or wash plants? What am I missing? They never get paid? I'm glad chief will go faster or you had a nice dinner with him but that show will be gone with everything else....

Jeff Lutz lives in Butler county, (Zelienople) so he would be exempt from testing for emissions. There's the legal explanation for no emissions sticker on his windshield of his pro mod. I'm sure no one really cares though.

... couple options there, but this is where i like to install them ... keeps it tucked out of the way ... obviously this is not aburst plate for a boosted combo, but does show a possible location ...the ends of the plenum are another area ...

I would assume once this is made public via podcast or tv show you are going to be swamped with orders? Last edited by ponjohn; 01-01-2017 at 04:28 PM. |

... Yes top is billet aluminum, and honestly things have been pretty hectic for us already, so as for us being swamped after the stuff is on TV and such, I honestly can't tell you so our focus is to just do the best job we can and if that happens as a result then that would be a wonderful result for sure ...
