Hate to say it but the y are not real races for pinks. I have a buddy who did that, Chitownracing, he said it was a big joke, and everyone got to keep their cars. Maybe things have changed by now but I dunno................

Watch it every week Bill. Some of the races on there are so outrageous tho, you see the season finale when the guy got the 1/8th mile lead ? Too funny.

I've been watching that since the first episode. They have changed a lot since the first season. The first episode was at night on the poorly lit track with like 10 people total croud there..lol.
A lot of people complain about them not really keeping the cars but they really do sign the titles over.. Its only a joke because almost all of the people who race on the show wuss out and Give the cars back to the people that lost them.

My fav is the 2 white fox body stangs. they really went back and forth with problems and craziness but had a great race at the end.

yup.. yup.. thats the one. when the yoke snaped the car bounced off the limiter and had a nitrous backfire which blew the scoup off the car. thats also the episode where the guy almost laid his rear bumper on the ground on the wheels up launch.

The Motorcycle episode and the first one with the chicago racers are my favorites. The motocycle one was awesome because there was no BS. Line up heads up and race.
