New Season, New Cars, New Drivers!

One of the most anticipated aspects of Season 8 is the influx of new cars and fresh faces joining the race scene. It’s not just the same old lineup—many drivers are coming in with revamped setups, updated builds, and strategies tailored to the unique challenges of no-prep racing. This fresh competition means we could see even tighter races, unexpected victories, and more intense rivalries, all while pushing the boundaries of what these cars can do.


With a larger pool of drivers and vehicles, it’s likely that fans will get to see a more diverse field of cars racing head-to-head on the strip. According to insiders, the goal is to have a full field of 22-26 racers, which could set up for some jaw-dropping showdowns on race day.


Track Bookings and Schedule News

As of now, it's confirmed that No Prep Kings has already secured tracks for the upcoming season. The finalized schedule should be out soon, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to mark their calendars. This is great news for die-hard followers who plan their year around these events. From what we’ve gathered, the series plans to hit some fan-favorite tracks while also exploring new ones, keeping the competition fresh and challenging.

TV, YouTube, or Live Feed: Where to Watch?

While fans have questions about how Season 8 will be broadcast, the production team seems to be considering all options. There's speculation about whether the series will air on TV, continue with YouTube recaps, or even offer live-streamed events as they did earlier this year. Street Outlaws Talks will be keeping an eye on any announcements and sharing updates as soon as they drop. Either way, you can bet there will be plenty of ways to keep up with the action.


Racing Changes: Reviving Friday Night Action

One of the biggest critiques from fans has been the lack of Friday night excitement. Previously, Fridays hosted some thrilling events like the Team Attack or Grade Eight, but in the latest seasons, there’s been a shift towards using Fridays for qualifying runs and ladder decisions. While these elements are crucial for Saturday’s main event, fans have voiced their desire for more on-track action to kick off the weekend.


We’re hoping to see Friday nights brought back to their former glory with events that truly set the tone for the weekend. Whether it’s bringing back Team Attack, a special bracket-style competition, or even something entirely new, there’s a real opportunity to keep the Friday crowd on the edge of their seats.


Should ETs Be Posted?

Another hot topic among fans is the idea of posting ETs (elapsed times). For those unfamiliar, ETs show exactly how fast a car runs the strip, and many fans would love to see these times displayed. While the traditional approach in no-prep racing avoids emphasizing ETs to keep a street-racing vibe, there’s growing interest in seeing what these beasts can actually do under race conditions.

It would be interesting to have these times displayed, especially during Friday night sessions, to showcase what different cars and setups are capable of on a no-prep surface. While Saturdays are all about competition and winning, displaying Friday times could add a fresh dimension to the event, allowing fans to geek out over the numbers while still enjoying the thrill of the unknown on Saturdays.


Final Thoughts

No Prep Kings continues to evolve and adapt with each new season, and Season 8 looks set to bring exciting changes and improvements. With new racers, upgraded cars, more racing action on Fridays, and potentially posted ETs, it’s shaping up to be a season fans won’t want to miss.


Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll keep you updated on all things No Prep Kings. From schedule announcements to behind-the-scenes insights, make sure you’re following along with us for the latest news. Get ready for another action-packed season, and let’s see what surprises Season 8 has in store!
