An American reality television series where street racing in the U.S. is the subject, it provides an inside look into the action both on the road and behind the scenes.
In Oklahoma City, racers proclaim having the fastest streetcars in the entire country, and the racing, drivers say, comes first before family friends and work.
Some of the cast includes: Big Chief, Ryan Martin, Daddy Dave, Jeff Lutz, Murder Nova, Doc, Monza, Chuck, Dominator and Shane, and for one in particular, the opportunity to shoot at Route 66 is a pretty awesome experience.
“Route 66 is one of the world class facilities,” Lutz said. “As a driver of a drag car I absolutely want to go because of the facility, the people and it’s always been a dream of mine.”
Lutz drives a 1957 Chevy Race Car that he has been racing for three years, and he said that there is a reason why the show is the number one ranked show on television.
“I firmly believe it is the number one ranked television show right now because of the cars and how relatable they are,” Lutz said. “A lot of these cars you even see on the road today, so it relates more to the people who watch and love our show.”
Getting the opportunity to meet your favorite driver, get autographs as well as every pass being a pit pass, getting t-shirts and other apparel are all reasons Lutz said families and fans should come out Friday and Saturday.
On Friday at 1 p.m., gates and pits open early for Mega Fan/ I want it all VIP ticket holders.
At 2 p.m., gates open for all ticket holders, and at 5p.m., racing starts.
Saturday, at 8:30 a.m., gates will open early again for Mega Fan/ I want it all VIP tickets holders.
Followed by that, at 9:30 a.m. the gates will open for all ticket holders, and at 12 p.m., racing starts.
“This is going to be an insane show that all fans and even people who haven’t seen us before are going to want to see,” Lutz said. “We can’t wait.”
