Big Chief
This guy is the central character / protagonist. He’s not on The List, but knows all the racers, organizes the call outs, and acts as the de facto narrator. He also plays the role of Natalie Wood and is the starter of the races. His selection as the protagonist/starter is curious, because: 1. He’s very boring. As the central character, you would think he’d be more polished and interesting. His voiceovers sound rehearsed and he’s about as comfortable on camera as an Oklahoman reporter. i knew his voice sounded rehearsed lol |

How do you edit jumping a light? Just curious cause that looked pretty damn real to me. They definitely did make you guys look like huge douchebags for sure. If I were you guys I would definitely not participate in future episodes. Bad for business cause no on likes a douche lol.

^^^^ I agree that it did paint LMR in a bad light. I have seen plenty of YouTube vidoes with their cars running and always thought they did good work. A reality show is almost always going to make you look worse not better. You know what they say though, bad press is better than no press!

I think Big Chief got his role by his episodes in "Pinks". Only Bc he was one if the 1st guys to come on the show and sarcastically shit talk the opponent. I was part of the pit crew of my best friends truck that was on Pinks. It was a different episode that Chiefs but we knew who he was. I think the driver of Farm truck will be a big star Bc right now that type of character is right in line with what is hot in reality TV right now. A little "Duck Dynasty, a little Gator and Swamp Boys, and Are you faster than a Redneck rolled into 1!!" It's the same reason millions of people watch Maury Povich or Hardcore Pawn! They like watching dumbasses on TV act a fool. Lol |

I don't get the asian dudes role, he doesn't wrench or drive. Not sure if he's farmtrucks mail order bride. Even my wife thinks that couple is sketchy. I think the show is entertaining in a silly way as most reality tv shows are.

I think he just adds to the oddness of their whole combo. A redneck driving an Ugly Farm Truck that will run, combined with an Asian that just makes comments in left field and a dog in between them both? Perfect recipe for STUPID! But clearly people like watching Stupid!

I too want to know how they edited the light jump. Sure they can probably go in and airbrush the light until after he leaves but there was one angle shown were you can see his thumb move to switch the light on. Im watching reruns now and I really looked and Im not so sure it was edited to show he jumped.
I like the show simply because of whats involved in it. I have gas in my veins, cant help it. Some don't like the F&F movies but you just have to take what you can get for racing movies/shows lol. I like AZN, hes funny enough to leave as is. I catch them kissing in the background of a scene Im gonna have to cut it off though.....

The show is obviously staged due to liability reasons and safety. But don't mistake the people for fakes. They are getting paid to do a show. Look up cash days and a bunch of the other Midwest street events on youtube and you will see these same cars actually doing what they do on the street.

I know so since on a few scenes you see police lights in the distance behind Chief.
