I enjoy the show. I loved WWF when I was younger too and I knew that was scripted.

They were "street outlaws" when the show picked them up, now they get to do it with no worries of getting in trouble and get paid for it. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Guilty pleasure. Of course it's fake. But it's still entertaining.

exactly, it's just like WWE or the News or the Weather forecast. It's all scripted, but I still watch all of them.

Did that guy just jump off the top rope onto the guy on the floor?

Did that weatherman just say a dusting and it's up to 16" of snow now?

Either situation, I still give it my most shocked look!!

This guy did catch a lot of slack for being pulled back after the race but if I remember correctly he beat Dave in the truck

Ran into Farmtruck and Asian this weekend at a gas station off I40 right around Henryetta. They were pretty cool we watched them taking pics with some bikers and joking around. My girlfriend got mad because I didn't want to get out and take pics with them. I drove by and took some pics of the farmtruck and they looked over so I said "Farmageddon" and they said it back it was funny.

street outlaws is an awesome show. For everyone saying it's fake... Well duh. Discovery would be canceled by every cable provider out there if this was real not to mention lawsuit city. On the show its scripted and track is blocked off but the racing is still real and as others have stated these guys all race off camera illegally also. They got the opportunity to do what millions of us love but get paid for it and not have to wait in hour long lines at the track. Who wouldn't take that offer
