Yeah... out of the US, Mexican, UK and Japan street racing scenes, Japan rocks... highway battle and drifto!!

The drag scene in Mexico is a little crazy, too many people too close to the road side..!! like watching WRC...
and if you noticed, they all drag with the starter so damn close to the cars, just one body size. In Malaysia at least its on a 3 lane hiway, with starter having plenty of room...

Yesterday's documentary was talking about street racing in different countries. I think its trying to say different countries have different style.

I love the Jap guys where they drift around a industrial area then police came they all go for touge drifting. The Jap open their tuning shop until so late wan ah ? They guy with the bimmer went to the shop dunno what time lah but still can help him change brake pads.
Those drifter also did say something technical about tyre choosing for drifting.

Crazy Americans, bring all their race tune drag machine to downtown area for burnout and drag in the morning. Got notice the part where a guy pick up all the tyre ash left on the road still burning with fire wan. The drag together wan about 4 to 5 cars in a time.

The Mexican modified chevy very cun lah. got electronic suspension system wan somemore. can lowered or lift up. Ppl stand some damn close to the race wan lah damn dangerous man.

At Australia also got street racing. can see whole bunch of cars riding along the road. Almost 30 to 40 cars.


Those most impressive thing is the police is US. The really know about racing. The police guy can even tell why a burnout mark looks different. they catch car by seeing which car is modified like a race car. The police also know why a wheelie bar is fitted.

Any place to go to download the torrents for this series?

I noticed that for every part, there is only one repeat. So for instance tonite the Biker Girlz is on 10pm, if u missed it, the next time slot is next day 6am in the morning.

I think they purposely try not to give this show too much air time.. maybe the government think this speed series is encouraging illegal racing...hmm....
