The Street Outlaws
Chuck
Chuck happens to be the owner of Seitsinger Racing. You may have also heard of him based on the fact that he's been in various magazines including his race car. Chuck was conceived in 1970 in Oklahoma City; at only 16 he began dealing with vehicles professionally. Chuck got down to business and became a tech at Honda in 1990. He worked hard and went to every workshop he could, he turned into an officially certified Honda Factory Trained Technician. He later accomplished the highest accomplishment as a Honda Factory Trained Service Advisor. 2001 denoted the start of another section in Chuck's life as he began building his present race vehicle. Later in 2004, Chuck was honored with the NDRA Rookie of the Year and NOPI XBOX Cup Champion (Pro 4 Cylinder).
For racing, Chuck uses an '89 Ford Mustang with a fox body and Chevy motor). You could call Chuck the infamous troublemaker of the OKC road racing scene. Chuck is a long-time racer and skilled at his craft-he raced expertly for a long time. However, at this point possesses a flourishing auto repair business. He has two girls and a spouse who support his need for racing. You might find Chuck talking shop with Murder Nova, Big Chief, or Daddy Dave. Although he’s often poked at by the guys for not taking too well to losing.
Farmtruck
Sean Whitley, better known as Farmtruck is notable for being the driver of a 1970 Chevy-long bed. The standout feature is the rust orange color and the multitude of dents. Last season, Farmtruck leveled up and got the motor of a 632 big block Chevy. This truck is a definite sleeper ready for racing. Farmtruck has the faithful Louise, a blue heeler hound who is no young pup, she’s 14 years old. Farmtruck adores her loyalty.
It isn't racing alone that takes Farmtruck’s interest. AZN and Farmtruck like to going fishing-to them it means bringing in marks by making them feel good about their vehicles. Farmtruck enjoys underestimating the power of his vehicle to unsuspecting newcomers to street racing. He loves catching people off guard, the sheer excitement of racing, and also the money that comes along with it.
Farmtruck and AZN, alongside their motor virtuoso companion Terry, the Mad Scientist, can't get enough of insane vehicles and anything fueled by nitrous. One of Farmtruck’s more creative endeavors includes procuring a funeral wagon, specifically a 1958 Cadillac. Not only did he get it running again, but AZN also hopped along for rides in it 405. In Farmtruck’s eyes, anything can be a potential race car if it has wheels on it.
AZN
It’s been quite some time and still, AZN likes to do a lot of the talking for Farmtruck. They happened to meet each other in the 405 streets. According to Farmtruck, when you meet that way you’re on the fast track to either a foe or a friend. Of course, they ended up becoming friends and Farmtruck helped him with a car project too-a 1966 Volkswagen. The car is also affectionately referred to as the Dung Beetle. In the engine, you’ll find a precision engine charged with 1,000 horsepower. Again, AZN and Farmtruck go fishing for new people to reel into car racing in this vehicle. AZN has even taken up the task of converting a riding lawn mower for a special Grass Car race. He’s got a special eye for picking out winners, some old or undervalued equipment can be integrated into a race car.
Kamikaze
Another pair of friends in the group are Big Chief and Kamikaze. They’ve grown up together and created quite a few trouble-making stories with each other. Also from Kamikaze’s childhood is his dad’s love of boat racing and car racing. Because of his upbringing, he was inspired to get into motocross but decided to get a Chevy later on. After joining the racing scene Big Chief donned him with the name Kamikaze. It’s said that he gets his name because you don’t want to make him mad. Putting up with the egos of other drivers is a bit much for Kamikaze, so he backed out of racing for a while. He had his car temporarily removed from the list but now it’s back on. He chose to honor the memory of his friend by racing his El Camino and he took this event as a chance to get back into what he loves. Now Big Chief and Kamikaze get to stir up the streets and disturb the peace.
Doc
Doc enjoys racing his 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo also known as the Street Beast. Doc was once on top as number one until he was championed by Shawn and later Daddy Dave. He’s returned to conquer with a more powerful engine and he plans on claiming his stake in the top 10 No Prep drivers. From a mutual friend, Doc met Monza who invited him to a street race. That’s where he meets more street car drivers like the members of Midwest Street Cars. The engine inside Doc’s car is massively large and definitely had to learn how to tame it.
Big Chief
Big Chief (otherwise known as Justin Shearer) has been in the world of street racing since he was a child. Even though he was only nine years old, he would go on a bike ride to Route 66 to see races. Today, he’s in charge of those races. At some point, you’ll go through Big Chief if you plan on having a spot on the race lists in town. Like many of the other Street Outlaws, he has built his own vehicle called The Crow. After multiple years, he completed the project and successfully turned his car into one awesome twin turbo GTO. This season he plans on beating the racers from California and The Crow might have what it takes. Check him out on the upcoming season to see if he moves up the list of top drivers. The self-proclaimed "Race Master" was born in 1980 and moved to Oklahoma in 1992. He’s come a long way since then and he’s now known as the guy you want to go to for all things street racing around the area of Oklahoma City.
Daddy Dave
Daddy Dave put all the other race cars to shame-maybe that’s why he’s called the “King of the Streets”. It’s a title he earned from laying his competition to rest in a 1996 GMC Sonoma S10 truck. Daddy Dave spared no expense when it came to souping up this ride. He added many high-performance parts specifically made for racing. The cost ended up totaling more than $150,000. Daddy Dave is funded by Jackie Knox who has carved out his wealth in the world of construction. As long as Knox is backing Dave, you can expect him to spend top dollar to help keep Daddy Dave at the top of the driver list. He’s been racing for more than two decades and he plans to keep it that way. He’s expecting to go home with a winning title.
Murder Nova
Shawn Ellington, also known as Murder Nova has been titled King of the Streets for three years until he lost it to other Street Outlaws-Doc and Daddy Dave. While he hasn’t been too happy about losing, he’s thrilled about the enhancements he made to his race car. Murder Nova has a 1969 Chevy Nova and a 1955 Chevy, but he hopes to reclaim the title with the Nova. He lives in Oklahoma but was born in Merced, California. He learned a great deal about cars from his dad growing up. His dad had some hobby cars that he liked working on and Shawn would help. He’s replicated the tradition by bringing Aiden, his son, into the shop to help. Per Murder Nova himself, there’s no greater feeling for him than ripping the track in the Nova.
Dominator
Dominator is a more strong and silent type. He sits back and waits for showtime and really lets his opponents have it. He funds himself and is more of the lone wolf rather than running with a crew. He drives hard and is looking to get into at least the top three drivers. Dominator also was taught by his father much like Murder Nova. He was taught that you should not only be able to repair your car, but you should be able to make it speed. Dominator currently drives a 1967 Dodge Dart that he’s fully funded and put together on his own. His car is nothing to mess with, it’s been in the top tier of cars on the show for quite some time.
Monza
Monza has a frame that well suits his name-he’s 6’4” and looking to be the next King of the Streets. He’s planning on taking the crown with a 1972 Camaro Rally Sport. He’s willing to beat his friends to get to the top spot, he has before. He once drove a Chevy Monza with which he made it to the number one spot and got his name. Monza has been racing street cars for decades and his experience has put him in the number three position, just an earshot away from becoming number one. Will he be crowned? Only time will tell.
Highlights of Season One
A known racing rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas is sparked again. The winner is looking for cash and to be the fastest state and Farmtruck goes fishing. Chuck gets pranked and thinks he's under a fake bust while he's doing some road testing. There's so much pressure during race day that a fight breaks loose that ends up affecting the racing scene in Oklahoma.
Highlights of Season Two
The Season 2 finale of Street Outlaws saw its fair share of tough matches. Ryan Martin took the lead at the beginning of the day but was overtaken by Larry Larson and Mike Murillo. Monza wins both of his challenges-he drives against Sam Harvey in Race 3 and Barry Nicholson in Race 12. Monza won in his car, the “Sinister Split Bumper”. Mike Murillo raced against The Vixen was crowned the points winner at the end of the day with the help of his car “La Fawnduh”.
