They have to keep Farmtruck and Azn as filler material, no matter how many angles you show a 4 second drag race from, you can't even fill 30 seconds of the show with racing footage from a single race.
If the top tier of the current street racing scene is going to Pro Mod type cars, bitching about it isn't going to change it. Justin saw the handwriting on the wall and the Crow getting totaled just moved his priority to that type of car sooner than later. Look for each of the top 5 in the 405 to move to that type of car as soon as they are able to. Without stepping up there is no way they're ever going to have a chance at #1 on the list.
So in a bunch of racers that have absolutely no rules whatsoever, except no track prep (Outlaws), and no sanctioning body, hard work and doing your own fabricating and having 2000HP only goes so far. Now your going to have to step up to a lighter more efficient car if you want to stay in the hunt.
As has been shown more than once the track surface is the equalizer, I.E. The Pro Mod that got beaten a few weeks ago because he blazed the tires against a heavier, small tired car, with less power.
Beating the track surface takes more skill than beating the car in the other lane. Just like dirt cars, the guy that can read the surface of the ever changing track, picks the right tires and adjusts his suspension to the track surface will win. All the HP/TQ in the world in a lightweight car means nothing if it doesn't hook, and the driver doesn't have the correct right foot input.
