If you pay attention you will notice that most of the races are held at the same location. The "street" is really a quiet, fairly smooth access road/street that is in front of El Reno airport by a bunch of industrial buildings. The only real "street racer" on the show is farm truck.
That being said, It's what it is, ENTERTAINMENT and nothing else. An hour of the day to fade into oblivion and let your mind and body relax. I love the show and all the forced one liners, fake rivalry's and contrived drama that are scripted for them by the producers/writers.
It's stupid, funny, fast and all about hot rods, so what's not to like?
