I just caught my first episode of the new format, what the hell happened? Crazy camera angles, no Nate & Adam, less coverage & who or what is Willy B? Sorry guys you just lost a (another) viewer. Bring back the original format.

I've also noticed the change, more flash - less substance. The last all out race I saw was Michigan where the winner went too fast during one of his passes. He should have been done, all the others who went too fast didn't advance. It didn't set very well for me. The show might have jumped the shark with that episode.

My buddies and I would set in my garage, drink beer and watch the show. The new format is so full of douchbagery that it is hard to watch. It was a good show because it was raw. Now they try to make it flashy and it just comes off douchey. We watch something else now.

I agree, I don't like the new format. It's kind of cheesey, and eventhough Iam not a big Nate fan, I liked the way that they do the picking. It seems like Brian is the only one with any real racing smarts. Wille B is better than Gavin,but has too much to do with the show. As for the guy in the final going too fast, he was around a tenth of a second too fast, thats a lot. Having been thrown out of the orignal in Dallas for one hundreth and they took my money! To say they lost a fan is an understatment! They lost my respect! Make a rule stay with it!

ye the way they are doing it this year sucks you don't get to see as much as you used to and its hard to follow they should show something and stay on it not flash around like they do. I took my camaro to montgomery, my formula to bella rose, and both to memphis i love the event but couldn't care less about watching it this year maybe they will go back to the way they did i'm still gonna try and make a few races next year

Whoever the guy is that keeps interjecting the cheesy one liners has got to go....

Just looked it up...Willie B, what an obnoxious CLOWN if I see an episode, I watch until i see him, then i turn the channel.

Where is Nate and the other little guy, they were pricks but fair and you knew where you stood with them 2.

Brian B is OK, but pretty much useless

The new format is mos def all Hollywood. What a bunch of sell out's! No grass root racing here anymore...I hate it. I never watch anymore. Who the hell is Willie B and what the hell does he have to do with Drag Racing..? Bring back Ken and Nate! You know, the difference in a drag racing crowd and just your everyday Joe is we take Drag Racing serious and all the hoopla is a smack in the face to a REAL Racer. I enjoyed watching Nate form a field and I thought he was a prick, but fair as well. Give NAPA a call, couldn't hurt. Mike Saylor / Harlan, Ky.

Contact NAPA be nice:) and tell them that the new format makes you want to first, throw up, then, go to a cheezy parts store like Advance. NAPA uses the marketing approach of "Grass Roots" Not "Douche Bags" This approach should be on Lifetime or oxygen.

i agree, the statement of OLD SCHOOL racing does not apply. the crew of pinks all out were not even born then. i am 65 years old and i experienced it. there were no 8-10 second street cars and no such thing as nos.i admit you get a bigger crowd with the faster cars but get real.i raced in bakersfield 9/11/09. it was my 1st time down a dragstrip in my life.did alot of street racing when i was young. i only ran a low 12's but that was fast back then.anyone want to chat or email my email address is please get nate and his brother back.......

Willy B-gone,please.
What happened to the Prichett Bros.
The first 2 seasons had more of a grass root feeling that myself,and I'm sure most of your viewers could relate to.
I enjoyed the in the pits interviews with the racers,the war room discussions,along with the more options that you give the racers for betting before they race.
It's just not the same/as good as the first 2 seasons.
