I liked the show, some people will change the channel due to so much cussing.
Yes I know the actual words are beeped, but you know what they're saying anyway. People with little kids are not likely to put up with it.
It seems pretty authentic & some of the technical aspects are pretty good in explaining certain things to viewers that are new to seeing these type of cars.
I hope it makes it.

Too much drama. Is this what people think racing is like? Really?

What I thought was crazy about her she was screaming at the other driver that he wrecked that guy because he wanted to be on TV. Well what the heck does she think she is doing?

The show flies in the face of what has been a long-held belief in public relations circles, and that is that "there is no such thing as bad publicity." You wonder why the public at-large and local politicians have no regard for dirt track racing? Just watch this show.

I didn't think it was to bad, I agree that the drama is way over the top and the old guys wife was possibly the most irritating person I have ever seen on TV.
Was it just me or was the announcer at the race track an idiot, it seemed like he knew nothing about racing.
Can I change my name to ModifiedFanRob?

I Liked it execpt for the fact that they all pretty much said they were Low Budget race teams.. They should go see the limited mod in our garage and the old trailer we are using and my truck,, then come and talk to us about low budget LOL..

I completely agree.
If this is how we act (and I'm afraid it is), then I it's no wonder we aren't taken seriously.
When the movie "Days of Thunder" came out I had the same feeling. All the bumping and crashing was embarrassing. Now you watch a NASCAR race and it's as if they were following the script.
There was a show on HBO about the Thundercar class at Anderson Speedway. It was equally embarrassing, but at least Thundercars were about one rung up from demolition derby cars.
The sad truth is the show could be pretty good if it weren't for the over the top drama, but then again, the same could be said for Friday and Saturday nights at the local track.
