I'm pretty "meh" on this one, but I did like RC's hit on Brayton the other day...

Not excited at all and won't watch it, why do we put legends of our sport on stupid car ?

They should have organized a fun race between them such as the first event with windham, pastrana, bradshaw, etc. For that type of thing, yes i would be excited and pay for it !

Open mindedness seems to be at a premium here.

Imagine a world in which no one said to themselves - "Hey, lets try to race these motorcycles in a stadium and see what happens"

I appreciate something new.

Boring...but just like a rutted straight at speed tuning a Street Stock left is harder than you think.

My picks.
Deegan checkers or wreckers (insert Weege's Deegan impression here). Lots of ProLite and Pro2 experience plus he doesn't own the car so he'll DGAF it to the front.
McGrath 2nd, lots of Pro2 experience but his DGAF game is weaker than Deegan's.
Reed & Carmichael for third/fourth. Their egos racing against each other will be fun to watch but hold them back as well.
Brayton's car is gonna look like that pic of Carmichaels truck he posted on IG.
Dungey is just too nice.
Velde? Do they race cars on the Tour?
Since Villo's out I vote Tony Stewart get the 8th car but he has to start backwards and two laps down.

Ill watch, if I remember its on...

Edit, that would be cool if they could get JS7 in the 8th car. Who would watch it then?

The whole fiteclub thing were all fun and games the first time, the second one was ”okey” and after that its just like beating a dead horse. Fiddy race and now this? Come on..

Agreed. Getting James in there would help. It doesn't seem right to have RC and Reed with JS7. Wonder if they reached out to him?

Looks like 6 time is racing.... Curious as to what the 'show up and race' money is to get these guys to SC from all over the country?

Assuming Fite TV is footing the bill for the individual car builds and the show money...

Didn't take long for this Fite Club thing to jump the shark.

Not interested. I don't like car racing so I don't really care who is doing the racing. Not shitting on the event, just not going to watch.

I’m split on this. It’s a celebritizing of moto celebrities. IMHO the concept is valid, it’s been done over and over with sports stars and actors... put them in “challenges” where they can talk shit, etc. Friggin’ great for those guys and they’re gonna have a blast.

If I have nothing better to do I’ll watch. Would rather see 3 on 3 basketball with retired moto stars. Let’s do that. 🥴 😁Stanton would ruin them.

It wasn't on my radar. To be honest, I didn't even know about it. When is this race?

It’s just an act to get people more excited about the race. Just like in the original moto fite klub, or boxing, ufc ETC.

I think it'll be interesting to watch. I'm just curious who the hell Christian VDV is and how he got in this. From what I've seen, he has nothing to do with moto.

You guys know this is supporting Road to Recovery...the organization that helps injured riders?

If you're "meh" about it, then perhaps donate some money to the organization OR pay to watch people racing AND support a good cause. I'm guessing most of you "meh"s won't do either...true fans of the sport. HAHA

Not really my cup of tea, not much can top k-dub getting back on the bike.

Although I’d like to tune in to the bench racing that’ll happen around the fire like it did with the original fite club.

Did rc do any dirt stuff when he did his nascar gig, I know he had a legend car and a dirt oval at the farm , , my guess is mc and deegans off road truck experience might help as wel , and whoever can take to the crew chief and get the car hooked up will clean up
