I like to watch to see how NOT to be a wuss. Plenty of examples on how to BE a wuss on that show.
Except for this one guy, I don't remember his name. Stocky, blue wifebeater, kind of had a lisp, buzz cut. He's gonna race some tall skinny guy who has the bottle hidden inside his headlight bucket or some crap. Other guy is trying to give him lengths so that he can run spray, and lisp-guy will NOT take the lengths.
He will NOT take 'em! He says, "We don't give lengths on the street. No way. Run what ya brung, heads up, or go home."
And the skinny guy beat him! But lisp-guy was by far the coolest guy in the history of the show. No bull, no excuses, he said, "I run what I brung, and I got beat. I didn't ask for lengths, I won't take lengths, and I don't spray. I run on motor only, and if you beat me, then you beat me."
Finally, someone who might actually be old-school, not a ricer who just happens to be drive American cars. Because, you know, rice isn't just about the hood ornament or FWD. Plenty of those fools on Pinks, even though they drive Stangs or Birds, have rice in their veins, not Sunoco.
Spray = ricer.
Lengths = ricer.
Excuses =ricer.
IMHO.
