I wanted to go to the No Prep kings event that was at Maple Grove in 2018 but I could not get time-off approved at work. bummer. would have loved to go see it live. I do watch the show. I dislike the production drama but cant help be in awe of the bad-ass wicked cars that are throwing down awesome runs.

I have always been a big fan of NHRA PRO-MODS but not a fan of pro-stock. love the totally insane unpredictable blower nitrous and turbo cars in pro-mod, and to see these guys doing "similar" stuff is just awesome. I grew up tagging along with my uncle who raced a bunch of bracket car stuff and pro mods were different back then. When we would go to a big NHRA event and everyone in the stands would walk away after nitro cars ran, we would hoot and holler at the crazy pro mods. pro mods were/are hardly ever on tv, and even now a days only get a 30 minute show at off-time hours per event. this no prep kings is a "tamer" version of pro-mod action and its on tv much more frequently, so I can’t help but like it. I remember before roadkill and the other internet media coverage, reading about hot rod drag week and Larry lesson when he had the steel Nova (same color scheme as the truck) and thinking how cool and impressive it was. The no prep show coverage on mainstream tv is great but I also get action from some
Good YouTube channels too

yes to seeing the cars and races
