It's as real as a street racing show on network tv is going to get and I enjoy watching, the cars are super badass, no one can argue that

The show is stupid. I find myself going to the last 10 minutes and watching as I really don't care about the hype leading up to the races.

But those guys launch off the transbrake, pull wheelies, cross lanes etc - thats not fake. And if it is then they need to get their heads checked because that is stupidity that could cost them their lives in a crash.

Now if a nitrous car has a solenoid fail..............that could be faked. But thats an old John Force play

Good Show - The racing is real but the road is definitely closed. You can tell by all of the temporary lighting. No way they could set all of that up and take it down within a few minutes to avoid the law.

I'd like it a lot better, if they didn't "act" like they were honestly breaking the law on race day. Which is how they portray it on every episode.

I also find it funny how much bobbing, weaving and back and forth action there is in their 1/8 mile races.....

Agreed, the majority of the show is hard to watch due to obviously staged arguments and drama. The cars are cool though.
