Limpy’s OG Cash Days was held last weekend in the Dallas Fort Worth area. It was a 32-car field comprised of racers from OKC, Miss., NOLA, Arkansas, Memphis, and probably somewhere else I’m missing. Entrants included Big Chief (The Crow), Shawn (Murder Nova), Daddy Dave (Goliath 2.0), Kye Kelley (The Shocker), David Bird Jones, The Godfather, Shane (The Blackbird Vega), Jerry Bird (The Probe), The Mistress, Kamikaze Chris (The Elco), Ryan (Fireball Camaro), Precious Cooper (Ol’ Heavy), Doc (Street Beast), Monza (Sinister Split Bumper), JJ DaBoss (in his blue Nova), and others. It ended up being a 31-car field worth $15.5k. Winner take all.
The event lasted two nights, with racing going until just before dawn on both nights. The streets were pretty bad, so a lot of cars did basically an 1/8 mile burnout. The finals took place very early Sunday morning with The Probe lining up against Shane in the Vega. As the two cars staged for the finale, motors banging on the line, police slowly gathered on the other side of the finish line. The Probe drove straight to the waiting police. Shane took a quick right turn and hauled ass back to his trailer.
Jerry Bird was arrested and taken to Jail. The Probe was loaded on a flatbed and taken to impound. The car has been released, and Jerry is out on bail. They plan on racing this weekend at the Dirty South No Prep event.
Here is the video of the last race:

Street racing is stupid and dangerous. There should be enough video evidence to prosecute these assholes and crush their cars. Drag strips aren’t hard to come by in Texas or Oklahoma.

Good, I’m glad these idiots got caught. This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. Street Racing is the dumbest thing someone can do, even with street legal cars. This is 100x worse with drag prepped non-legal cars.

Yes let’s take these insanely loud machines we’ve spent 100,000 dollars building, and go race them on public roads. No one will call the cops when they hear the cars idling. And there’s no way the cops will be smart enough to just park a quarter mile away and wait for us to go, in our cars that have zero chance in evading the police since they can’t turn and and be heard from a half mile away.

You seriously think a 19 year old could afford one of those things? They’ve got at least six digits put into them. Sure, ROI doesn’t work like that, but they would NOT be sold for cheap.

street racing in non-streetable cars doesn’t even seem fair. I feel like they should have to do a 100 mile drive first, THEN race.
also, they shouldn’t be street racing, just saying its made even more dumb by not even being cars you could evade the cops in.

Most of the cars in this invitational do not have cooling systems or enough fuel to drive very far. Obviously, you can evade the cops in at least one of these cars, as the Vega made it back to his trailer. On a non-prepped track, these are low 4-second cars. Some of these cars can run in the 3's on a prepped track. It’s insane to me, and they did have accidents happen during that weekend.

As far as the street drive, that’s actually a class for no prep events. The True Street class usually starts the event with a 30 mile drive around town. Anyone that can’t complete the cruise is dropped from the class.

05/09/2017 at 14:51, STARS: 2
I think the big issue here was that they were shutting down large streets. The video shows them going down the wrong way. They had to move to that side of the road because someone *couch* Daddy Dave *cough* oiled down the other side of the street. Truckers don’t take kindly to people closing off roads. Supposedly, a trucker called this into the police.

This is the most ridiculous argument. Even though street outlaws is dumb, they never claimed to be “street cars” or daily drivers or any of that nonsense, just racing on an unprepped street. The fastest “street cars” are typically whoever wins the open class at Drag Week.
"MonkeePuzzle" (monkeypuzzle)
05/10/2017 at 11:47, STARS: 0
sure sure. I’m just saying that what I find MOST dumb about the already dumb show is that they aren’t streetable.
It’s hardly like the ‘50s when you’d run on some backstreet your suped up hotrod that you also daily drove.

05/10/2017 at 12:56, STARS: 0
Streetable is a relative term though. If I can race it on a street does that make it streetable? Jeff Lutz has won Drag Week with Mad Max and come close several times with the 57, but now they said no pro mods.

Open class or Unlimited class? The Unlimited is the top class at Drag Week. Lutz won it in a street-driven promod (Mad Max) last year. He also holds the title of fastest “street car” currently.

Then it’s a no prep race. OG Cash Days is always illegally held in the DFW area. Dirty South No Prep will be streamed on SpeedVideo this weekend, and a lot of these cars, the Probe included, will be there racing at the track.

Supposedly, he popped the motor on the big end, so he coasted to where the cops were waiting. When the cops asked if he won, he said yes... which seems like the dumbest thing you could say, since that’s basically confirming that you were racing.

Racing is dangerous unless you are doing in your mommy’s basement sitting in bed and racing with your PlayStation Joystick, I bet you always come first.
You’re just jealous that you were not invited to play but then again it takes a big set swinging free to play that game in their league.
"Sweet Trav" (thespunbearing)
05/19/2017 at 08:45, STARS: 1
You’re right racing is dangerous. People who choose to drive, or spectate at even a sanctioned an event have an assumed risk. Some poor unlucky bastard who’s driving home from a late shift at Taco Bell that gets hit and killed by some asshole street racer did not. Racing is less dangerous if done at a track, and is not dangerous to those who didn’t take the assumed risk of being there.
Lots of tracks do “no prep” grudge days and don’t care about cash trading hands behind the scenes.
It may take a “big set swinging free” to bet that much money on a single race with cars that fast on an unprepared strip of tarmac illegally, but it also takes a very small brain, probably a small penis too, since drag racing is metaphorical dick measuring.
I got nothing to prove to nobody. I just want people to have fun racing, and be safe doing it.

How is it even possible for an event like this to get going? I assume they have to trailer in their vehicles, which aren’t street legal and I assume it draws crowds? Shouldn’t they only be able to squeeze out a run or two before they are within police response time?

They all trailer to an initial meeting spot. After that, they move around the city to different places. The cops showed up more than once, but they didn’t catch anyone actively racing until the last race. The Vega can drive around, as it is a Drag Week contender. A lot of the cars do not have regular cooling systems, so they can only run for short periods of time.

Hmm, interesting. So even though it’s totally obvious that a bunch of trucks with dragsters on trailers are in the city for a race, the cops can’t do a damn thing till they catch them racing.

Until they are actually racing, nothing illegal is taking place. They mostly have enclosed trailers, so it’s not too obvious. They don’t stay in one place for very long either.

This was not filmed as part of Street Outlaws. This was legit illegal street racing in Dallas. The Probe was impounded, and Jerry (the driver) was arrested and taken to a real jail. The cops were called in by a trucker that was mad about them shutting down the road.
