In the first episode the rule was that if a driver had a false start they re-started the race. The show started losing my interest when in episode 4 (King of the World) I really wanted to see how the cars performed but 2 cars false started so only 2 cars competed and there was no restart (the rules had changed), but wheres the fun in that when the whole episode follows the story of 4 drivers.
Also, the supercars have their stats referred to, e.g. "this car can do a 10.2sec quarter mile", but for the actual race there is no clock so who knows if any of the cars are actually performing well or with amateur drivers perhaps they are all running 13sec quarter miles.
Racing is hard on the cars so perhaps all the sleeper cars can handle is one race, maybe that's why the rules changed, because the cars can't handle 2 starts?
When the sleeper drivers read the quarter mile fastest time for the supercar they all say they can beat the supercar but often they don't, so I wonder if the sleeper drivers ever had any clue about how fast they could drive a quarter mile.
It's a good show but after a few episodes the flaws I've mentioned start becoming annoying and take away from the excitement of the race.
I would rate the show higher if they made some improvements to race day.
