  • The Future of Street Outlaws: Is Street Racing on the Decline?

    In the world of Street Outlaws, recent discussions have primarily centered around the adrenaline-fueled world of No Prep Kings. With new backers like Dana White stepping into the arena, the future of the no prep racing series seems brighter than ever. However, amidst all the excitement, one question lingers: what about the street racing aspect of Street Outlaws? Photo by Street Outlaws Live It's a valid inquiry that has sparked contemplation among fans and enthusiasts alike. As attention shifts towards the burgeoning success of No Prep Kings, the fate of street racing hangs in the balance. The emergence of new backers for No Prep Kings implies a potential shift away from traditional street racing, raising concerns about its future viability within the Street Outlaws franchise. Reflecting on the divergence between No Prep Kings and street racing, one key distinction emerges - the revenue model. No Prep Kings thrives as a live, profitable, in-person event, garnering both TV revenues and income from live attendance. In contrast, street racing events lack the same financial traction, relying solely on television revenues without the added revenue stream of live events. With rumors swirling about Street Outlaws' departure from Discovery Channel and the allure of new ventures for No Prep Kings, the prospects for street racing seem uncertain. Amidst the buzz surrounding No Prep Kings, discussions about street racing events have notably dwindled, prompting speculation about its future within the Street Outlaws universe. Photo by Street Outlaws Live While some hold onto hope for a resurgence of street racing, others remain skeptical, citing the financial realities that favor No Prep Kings' profitability. If street racing were to make a comeback, it would likely necessitate a new approach - one that integrates live events to capitalize on revenue opportunities beyond television earnings. In envisioning a potential revival of street racing, some speculate it could take on a hybrid form, incorporating elements of live events akin to No Prep Kings. This could entail hosting races at large gatherings or events, providing fans with an immersive experience while generating additional revenue streams beyond television. Photo by Street Outlaws Live However, the reality remains uncertain, with the allure of No Prep Kings casting a shadow over the future of street racing within the Street Outlaws franchise. As discussions unfold and speculations abound, one thing is clear - the landscape of street racing is evolving, and its future within Street Outlaws hangs in the balance. What are your thoughts on the future of street racing in Street Outlaws? Join the conversation in the comments below and share your insights on this pivotal topic.

  • Thunder and Lightning: A New Era for Street Outlaws Production!

    For years, Street Outlaws has adhered to a familiar formula, providing fans with adrenaline-fueled races and behind-the-scenes drama. However, recent hints from Sean Ellington and the producers suggest that Season 7 could mark a departure from the traditional constraints of network television. Photo by Dean Images With the possibility of transitioning to a streaming service, Street Outlaws may have newfound flexibility in its episode structure. No longer bound by rigid time slots or commercial breaks, episodes could vary in length based on the content, allowing for a more dynamic viewing experience. Furthermore, the drivers themselves could play a more prominent role in shaping the narrative. With the freedom to cover races on their own terms, fans may gain deeper insights into the action, straight from the racers themselves. This level of authenticity could add a new dimension to the show, offering viewers a more intimate look at the world of street racing. Photo by Dean Images Of course, the quality of race footage is paramount to the viewing experience. While past seasons have featured a mix of iPhone clips and behind-the-scenes content, there's room for improvement. By integrating professional camera crews and live streaming capabilities, Street Outlaws could elevate its production value, providing fans with crisp, high-definition footage of the races. In essence, Street Outlaws Season 7 has the potential to be a game-changer. With a fresh approach to production and storytelling, the show could captivate audiences like never before.

  • The Burning Question - Will Damon Merchant Return for Season 7 After Dominating Season 6?

    If you've been keeping up with the Street Outlaws scene lately, you're probably curious about Damon Merchant's whereabouts. Well, you're not alone; it's the burning question on everyone's minds right now. Photo by Dragzine Here's the scoop: Season 7 of Street Outlaws' No Prep Kings is already in full swing, but Damon hasn't made a peep about his racing plans. While some racers have either confirmed their participation or delayed their races for later in the season due to various reasons, Damon has remained silent. The season kicked off earlier than expected, catching many off guard with races starting in April instead of June. This change left racers scrambling to adjust their schedules and commitments. The championship is set to kick off either this weekend or the next, depending on the recent race postponement. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Now, about Damon's absence. He was a force to be reckoned with in Season 6, securing the top spot in the main Invitational totals and winning two races. But this season, he's been keeping mum, leaving fans wondering if he'll make a comeback. Money could be a factor here; competing in NPK requires substantial financial backing, and Damon's team isn't known for its deep pockets. Yet, he managed to make waves with just a truck, a trailer, and a big block Chevy-based motor. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Here's the kicker: his winning combo got outlawed this season. The block he used is now off-limits, rendering him ineligible for a 100 lb weight break. But fear not, he has alternatives. He could swap out the block for a cast aluminum one, similar to what Jeff Lutz runs. It might not be as durable, but it could produce the same power. Plus, he might even shed another 100 lbs if he goes down that route. Despite his ride being slightly overweight for the rules last season, let's rally behind Damon for a potential return to the tracks. He's got what it takes – a winning combo, a solid ride, and a stellar crew. It would be a shame to see him sidelined this season. Photo by Dean Images So, Street Outlaws fans, let's keep our fingers crossed and see if Damon Merchant fires up his engine for Season 7.

Now, if you've been following the street racing circuit, you know that Daddy Dave is no stranger to success.
