Me and my wife met Reaper a few years back at a small track in North Alabama. As soon as this man got out of his rig he started shaking everyone's hand taking pictures with people one of the most personable people I've met from the Street Outlaws show. Hell the exhibition show he was putting on got rained out for Saturday and instead of going home he rescheduled it for Sunday. He could have packed his stuff up and went back to Oklahoma but didn't and put on a good show. I have the upmost respect for this man not many people would do that.

Shawn ruled the list, until he did not. Dave ruled the list, until he did not. Chief ruled the list, until he did not. Ryan rules the list, until... Did Reaper ever rule the list? Chief won an NPK event the first time he tried it, at a track where his combination was at a major disadvantage. Has Reaper ever won and NPK event? I have no illusions regarding Big Chief. Like everyone else in this world, he's going to look after himself first. That said, I'll take Reaper's stories with a grain of salt, but will enjoy his take on the whole situation.

I don’t think you have to “rule” an event or a list to be a good racer or to have an opinion. Actually, since Reaper hasn’t “ruled” but has tried his hardest over and over, against any oppression, he is a good source of information. Think of him as an offensive lineman- not the QB or the RB, but a guy that works hard on and off the field. I hated Reaper on the show- always getting mad, big mouth, his car seemed to only work 7 out of 10 times….but I like this portrayal of Reaper. He is a car guy, in his garage, doing car guy stuff. I also like Big Chief. He is a car guy, in his garage, doing car guy stuff. Maybe the two are just TOO alike to get along.

There is a reason the track owner never had chief come back. And I never said he owed me anything. But he is nobody without his fans period. He's just a normal racer, the fans are what made street outlaws what it is today. It's not about owing anything it's about respect and acknowledging the fans where there to meet him and see him race. It's not like the car was broke and he was rushing to fix it. He literally sat in his trailer for HOURS. I could careless about meeting him. But plenty of young kids where upset. That's why I believe it was the best thing for Shawn to take over. He is the nicest most humble guy I've ever met, he will literally stand out there till 4am signing stuff and talking with fans.

I liked Chief in the early years. But what made me dislike him was the NPK season when he would not at ball with the 405 as a team. He basically wanted to do his own thing instead of sharing information with the team. Racing is like wrestling. When you are in the match it truly is you against the opponent. But what you get from the team is information on what works against that opponent. in racing it is what works on the track. So that stunt that Chief pulled told me Chief was all about himself. Now Reaper has pretty much confirmed what I felt. Reaper gains a fan and Chief loses a fan. Still pulling for Ryan Martin!

Not defending anyone here just sharing my thoughts. I have depression, nasty anxiety and ADHD. I’m always like 2-3 hour late everywhere I go, it’s a battle in my brain to do things. I’m confrontational, and easily get upset when a thought I have isn’t seriously. I get convinced something is the only way to do it. It is actually quite hard to keep friendships being that way and you always have a mask on. I’ve always thought that chief had some similar mental health issues. Like when lutz crashed or beating lutz etc his reactions were very similar to how I would have reacted. Like the only person on the show who was still friends with him was Lutz and he was afraid beating lutz would make him not his friend etc. Someone being a Germaphobe would absolutely hate meeting fans and shaking hands, I get that reaction. Calling people nasty, meaning the germs not the people. I don’t know any of these people personally but I’ve enjoyed getting to know them all over 14 seasons. James I can truly say, you weren’t my favourite on the show, but I’ve enjoyed your KZitem with you and your wife way more than the hot head they portray as or instigated the actions around you.

I don’t like anything to change and he is the same way he doesn’t have and give and isn’t pliable. He is like Kamikaze Chris. Chris doesn’t like germs he’s weird about peoples smell and feet and I couldn’t imagine being like that and having people breathe through your window or always wanting a hug Picture and stuff like that.

Shawn,Ryan,Chuck,Dave and others show up in videos a lot. But not Chief, I always wondered why?? Now we know. James has warned people for years and nobody listened. I watched Chief’s video and said the same thing James just did. If the rules was so bad then why was he the only one that left?? Why would he leave his Boy’s?? There is always 3 sides to every story.

Why when I watch everyone else from the 405 on KZitem another driver from the 405 is around, but never chief? Why did Shawn really leave? The answer we all got was he wanted to focus on his family more and not so much the racing, but he's done more racing now than he ever did when him and chief were partners.

Late sixties pro stock was exciting because those cars were something we could relate to. They were at least based on real cars you could buy. It seems in every type of racing it starts out fun, everyone has a chance at winning. Then the high rollers step in and now you have no chance of winning unless you spend massive amounts of time and money to stay competitive.

Would you still root for a person who just stabbed you in the back or threw you under the bus or just purposely took $ out of your pocket, just because he has a fast car? Chief says non stop its all about winning to him, but at what cost? He said his self he has had to pay a heavy price for his "need to win". Seems like he lost respect as a race master, racer, and as a man. But at least he still has a fast car doesn't apply here. I think alot of these guys would rather keep their "Man" cards over having fast cars.

CHIEF is BS! FACT: I have a friend who has a very good friend, who owns an all steel '69 Camaro, here in Michigan. I used to WATCH that guy race at Detroit Dragway, all the way back in the mid 1970's---he invited the 405 crew up to Michigan, to race him. This guy was also involved in the Fastest Street Cars race down in Memphis, the first time it was run. His "rules" FOR the challenge were the same as the FSC race--drive the cars for 20-30 miles, then LINE 'EM UP! They wouldn't DO it. REAL "street" cars don't overheat from being DRIVEN ON the street--FACT... The guy I'm referring to has his own shop, been in business for YEARS. No WAY that ANY of the cars you see on the show could be driven on the street, for even five miles, without blowing head gaskets from excessive overheating!!! LOL

A few years back at PRI we were walking to the Elevator in the hotel and realized Chief and his girl were walking in front of us and we ended up in the same elevator. As he walked in he pulled his hat over his face and looked down and away so we wouldn't talk to him. When the door opened at our floor and turned around and said 'You're and Asshole" and walked away. We had no intention in saying more than what's up just to be friendly. Lost all respect for him that day. I've run in to many of the other guys and they were all nothing but friendly and always said Hi back.

I believe what Reaper is saying its been clear for a long time Chief has been on the outer with the 405 and as a longtime subscriber of Shawn you can see the total separation from Chief and look how good Shawns life has been not in Chief's shadow Chief seems to think he created the show all on his own when its a group effort , then once you take a paycheck from the producers you are now an employee of them and as for all his rules he was bitchin about he likes the rules when they benefit him only. The producers should have fired him a long time ago. As for Lutz being hes best friend when he crashed the 57 the way Lutz spoke on the show Rtyan was the only guy there Chief was shown on camera being told about it by Jackie. And as for all the rumors of Chief using drugs a while back these things dont start unless theres a reason you dont hear that about any of the others good riddance Thanks Reaper
