I thought that was a runway. We raced sign to sign then someone got the idea to paint lines. Those hots rods would be in a ditch upside down on the roads we raced with all that HP. We put on cheater slicks and opened up the headers for the night. We had few that would drive their race cars on the streets, sit around waiting for someone to wheel by then make the challenge. And, a few street rods would win.
We had our farm truck, pure sleeper that caused many a fight.
There was another show on last year about a rod shop in Kali street racing. Had more racing in it than the drama this show puts on. The older show was more in line with how we set up races, we went looking for the car to race; when found, the lake, the bridge or corners with a time set, not by committee president with a list. Word got around. But we knew who was the fastest. Sometimes when large cash was involved we ran 2 out of 3. And we had some rolling start races that just happened. We had a single street light too that at times a rod was sitting there waiting until the next one came up.
First season in OK city so I wonder if they will go to other cities.
