Take a look at this, What Is Big Chief Planning, the Return of The Crow on Small Tire!?
Big Chief has always been one of the most important names in street racing and Street Outlaws and whenever people start talking about the return of The Crow everyone pays attention because that car is not just another race car but a big part of street racing history. For many fans The Crow represents the original Street Outlaws era when racing was more about the street than the track and when small tire cars ruled the scene instead of big tire Pro Mod style cars.
The Crow became famous because it was built for real street racing conditions and not for fully prepped drag strips. The car was built to work on rough roads with limited traction where driver skill and tuning mattered more than just horsepower. That is one of the main reasons why Big Chief was so hard to beat on the street because he understood how to tune a car for surfaces that most racers struggled on. The Crow was known for being fast but also very consistent which is exactly what you need in street racing.
Over the years street racing and Street Outlaws started to change a lot. The cars became more expensive more powerful and more like Pro Mod race cars. Big tires huge horsepower and fully built race chassis became normal and the racing started to look more like track racing than street racing. Many old school fans started saying that small tire racing was the real street racing because it was harder to control the cars and required more driver skill.
Small tire racing has become very popular again in the last few years. Many racers are moving back to small tire because the racing is closer more unpredictable and more exciting to watch. When cars are on small tires they move around more spin more and the driver has to actually drive the car all the way down the track. On big tire and fully prepped tracks many times the car just hooks and goes straight but small tire racing is a completely different challenge.
This is why many people believe Big Chief is planning something with The Crow again and focusing more on small tire racing instead of big tire racing. That would make sense because Big Chief built his reputation on street racing small tire cars and reading the road better than almost anyone else. He was never just a horsepower racer he was a street racer who understood traction suspension tuning and how to get down a bad road faster than someone with more power.
If The Crow really comes back and Big Chief focuses on small tire racing again it could bring back the old Street Outlaws style racing that many fans miss. Racing where the driver matters more than the budget and where the car setup is more important than just having the biggest engine. Small tire racing usually creates closer races more upsets and more exciting finishes which is why it is growing so fast across the country.
Big Chief has always done things his own way and that is one of the reasons he became one of the most respected street racers in the country. He understands that street racing is not just about going fast but about being consistent smart and knowing how to win on surfaces where traction is limited. The Crow was built exactly for that kind of racing and that is why people still talk about that car today.
If this really is the return of The Crow and a move back to small tire racing then it could be a big moment for street racing because many racers are already moving in that direction. Small tire racing is cheaper more competitive and more exciting for fans and it brings racing back to driver skill instead of just big money builds. Big Chief going back to small tire racing would not be a surprise at all because that is where he became one of the biggest names in street racing in the first place.
The Crow was never just a car and Big Chief was never just another racer and if both of them are coming back to small tire racing then street racing could be about to get very interesting again.
