I definately like this episode better than any others...

Although the modded GS1100 vs. the V-rod last season was sweet.

Yeah last nights show was a perty good one. I'd say the guy left a perfect tree in the 2nd race..They showed it over and over...Who cares how much his body/hand moves, the body doesn't cross the start the front end does when the bike launches. I call BS on that, and they should've just had a rerun on the 1st race like they did on the 2nd like the guy said......"your a cheater" I think it could've truned out different if they started fresh from the start.

I can't wait to see the Full race hatch and the Hasport race..

yeah really we are?? I'm not. the busa motor is a beast and you just boost the crap out of it with good internals. 500 hp busa's aren't rare either. there's plenty of actual street ridden ones as well as other turbo busa's with 300-400 which is still absurd

That would settle alot of drama, like who took off early or the drivers weren't ready or some stupid crap like that. With a tree, you line up, if you red light you loose, no excuses.

the whole point of the show is to be like street racing but legal. Thats why they "negotiate" and ask for 58 car lengths and have that tool bag chris drop his arms like in "real" street racing.

If they got a tree and timeslips there would be no point to the show and then it would be just drag racing with no drama.

That is true but the lights will make a difference when 2 seven second bikes are racing and then Billy Bob and Jack are racing their Ford Pickups. Have you ever seen the top fuel cars and funny cars reaction times.......

2 things to point out.

If there was a tree there would be no point to the show you say? Last time I checked if I went down to the local dragstrip and lost.....I still get to keep my car. Also last time I checked the local car strip does not allow car lengths.

Secondly, if they did decide to use a tree.....if someone had 10 car lengths....would they then have 2 trees? Maybe the should both start at the same place but decide on a handicap. Ok...I want a 2 second head start...something like that. Then they could still use a tree at the original start line for both racers.

YEAH BITCHES!

thats kinda what they do in bracket races. each of the contestants have written a time on their car they will try to run, they try to run as close to it without running faster if they do they are eliminated due to breaking out.

If there are two cars that approach the line with two different time the quicker car has to wait the time difference before the light on his side turns green.
