Wes….
I went to Boise this weekend. The racers are awesome and the racing is awesome!!!!! Everyone makes time for you and they are real people!!!!
I just watched the race in stl where you hit the curb..waaay back
They don’t really get sponsored there outlaw, these guys are all idiots, Force has always been like that just the way he is I know him in RL
Great interview
Get ryan Martin on and get a interview in with him
Dammit Wes, why did you have to bring up HMP closing? My hometown track is about to not exist anymore.
Hail to 405 Street Outlaws NPK’s
Mid 4s try very low 4s some are even high 3s in the 8th.
WTF I’m in Houston what do you mean we’re about to loose HMP
These guys are SPOT ON !!! No Prep, Street Outlaws, and on and on, . . . . it's THE top dog in town.
The younger generation, and I know first hand, the old dyed in the wool drag race guys are eating this stuff up !! Drag racing on prime time TV with relatable personalities , it's a winning combo all day lone.
The old money grubbing sanctioning bodies are dinosaures on the death spiral, whether it's drag racing , stock cars or indy/F1.
Joe zolper got turned away from a no prep race in Cordova. I'm curious why that incident was not discussed
An interesting question to ask him would have been how much money does Pilgrim pay the talent on the show? Does it very based on talent and mood?
I would love to see stevie Fast run Ryan
Why could'nt you get Stevie Fast on the show with this guy together. come on man, it's BS.
Sounds like BS to me, put the tree and clock on em.
When NHRA went to the new television deal it went to shit , I used to like watching it on YouTube but now their is nothing , they never considered any fans outside of the states
Every hard core drag racer has raced on the street somewhere in there life.
NHRA events are hard on the average person's pocketbook in 2021, when you can go to a no-prep race and have $$$ left over when it's over – no-prep just makes more sense and it's more entertaining!
The EPA is coming for all of it. Everyone needs to get involved in defending motorsports and freedom in general from the government.
The success of street outlaws is why we may have enough people to stop the EPA from eliminating motor sports
No prep/street racing made racing and car culture attainable for normal folks, the major corporate racing industry has long been, look but don’t touch.
No prep has saved multiple tracks , more are turning to it more and more . It packs the track even without the big name stars . Don’t cost as much for the owners of track to maintain. No glue needed , no equipment needed really unless someone has oil down . Small no name tracks making a comeback , if it keeps the doors from closing , I’m for it .
The S/O shows suck ass. The best thing to come of it all is the guys having their own YT channels and going to local events where they show up. Discovery, History, and the like are garbage. 1320, 660 street, SRC, and others are where it's at. That network TV bullshit ain't for me.
Pilgrim studios is fuckin these guys with no lube. The show is huge and they deserve to be compensated.
Nhra is trash and has been for decades. They've been left behind and I doubt they'll ever amount to shit ever again.
Say what you will about John Force, but the man has heart and balls. Something 90% of people lack these days.
Chris is a sharp guy and and absolute professional. On and off the track. I don't think a lot of folks know what his day job is (its not hard to find if you look), but I've always respected his background and work ethic.
You did a great job explaining the positive affect of no prep. Very well done
I would love to see a interview with Shawn murder nova Ellington and Ryan fireball Martin!
Grass roots, low $ YouTuber racer Turbo John won a recent NPK small tire event. I believe it was the VA event.
NHRA = Stuck in the sixties. They truly can’t see the forest for the trees. Cars are unrecognizable and therefore non relatable and access to the racers is extremely limited and over controlled. The TV coverage is totally boring. Speaking of which, Brian Lohnes is one of the brightest, funniest most talented dudes around and could almost single handedly bring the NHRA into the 21st century and could attract so many new viewers if they would just let him be himself. Watching him do the TV broadcasts is almost painful. It’s like he is trying to sing and dance while bound and gagged. With cement overshoes on and 100’ underwater.
If you can’t run under 4.0 you literally are non competitive in a NPK big tire event. Chris knows that but can’t say it due to contractural restrictions.
White Collar(NHRA)~Blue Collar(Street Outlaws)
Anyone that races illegally on a public street is a dumb ass.
EPA will shut all this down. Just wait.🤠
Dude…this video is 33 minutes long, you talked for 31 of them.
When you have 20 sponsors you have be the “guy” that reps all of them. It will never be outrageous.
Stevie claims he couldn’t find out how to get involved and boom it’s super simple
Lol I'm 57 in Matagorda County Texas street racing
Yeah more exposure brought more heat on us Backcountry Road racers we got to watch out for Hogs and deers running out front of us LOL
There are plenty of teams in drag racing…. The NPK this is just a gimmick this week. Just like teams in golf – Ryder Cup is a once a few years right?
I am one of those people. I am a recent convert to the whole NPK street racing scene/community. And I am addicted! Sincerely … I have said to my family that I am unavailable for the next 9-weeks solid as the crew begin their weekly tour – and I can’t wait to go see it live. I live just outside Toronto so not that far from the 405 … but I am so excited at all I have to look forward to. I am a huge Lizzy ❤ fan. Love her so much 💕💕 and have ordered up my merch! Boosted is awesome 👏 Love your show Wes. Keep up the great work you do.
