The Crow is Dead

I happened to see that Big Chief from Street Outlaws wrecked his car and is lucky to be alive. Sorry I can't post links, just had surgery on my hands.

AAHH! I missed that episode.


But if you remember the movie from the '90's, the crow came back from the dead! I wouldn't be surprised if he attempts to rebuild somehow.

I don't think it will be on the show for awhile since it just happened recently. I see from the previews they are showing Daddy Dave's wreck in what was his new ride. NHRA must be loving this. These cars are so fast, they're even dangerous on the track. But at least on the track you generally can only hurt yourself and not the public. I have to admit I enjoy the show but don't agree with the off track antics.

What is curious to me is that the wrecked crow has the turbos next to the firewall and the pictures of the crow prior to the wreck after it is painted on their facebook page shows the turbos forward in the core support area. ?????

Their "street racing" is on a closed street with safety stuff around. Only the "test runs" are on streets that are open and of course Farmtruck and Azn's antics

I believe the accident relocated the turbos to their current position. As a kid, I, like many here did our share of street racing. I remember when I was stationed at Andrews AFB back in 80, the local guys would block off the beltway lanes and we would race and then open the highway back up before the cops got there. No one ever accused the young as being smart.

Yeah. The street racing has now moved to route 210 heading toward Indian Head in Southern Maryland. Loooong straight aways and kids wrecking their cars and killing themselves and spectators on a semi-regular basis. The police have started cracking down hard.

well it is a personal day and Christmas shopping day to get it done before black Friday so I guess I will comment here also. I never on the street outlaws show saw chiefs car smash and I watch it every week and it is a good show so where did you get this crash from unless maybe you get really advanced episodes where you live. last night on upcoming episodes daddy daves car did smash at the dragstrip and it is in full being aired nextweek so where did this info come from?

Daddy Dave smashed Goliath sometime ago. It was a violent crash and he was lucky to survive. It appears they will be airing the video of that crash in this year's episodes. I'm not sure the show will survive long enough to air Big Chief's crash with Chucky (they were filming). I got this info. from the Internet and as I'm sure your aware everything is true on the Internet. http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/11/17/...e-totaled-car/

I don't have a problem with kids street racing, provided they are only endangering themselves. Part of being American is the freedom to do stupid stuff and being prepare to accept all possible outcomes. Taking out innocents is obviously reprehensible. One of the rules for ad hoc street racing is everyone stays in their cars.

With the quantity of traffic out there no matter what the hour, the spectators these thing draw and the mega speed and power these cars are generating, it needs to stay on the track. As much as I enjoy watching this show, I think it should stay on the track. Nothing wrong with the odd burn out or smoke show on the street but no show is worth a life. IMO.

Kelvin Poe's bad *** 70 TA 8.00 1/4 mile N/A car is for sale turn key for about 48K but as Justin has posted he doesn't get money from show and has to self finance. But that is the car a lot of folks want him to have but it is not free. His proper built car saved his life Thank God
