Wayne owns this '80 Mustang notchback (on the lift in the background), a car he calls the original Midwest street car. This Mustang mural is in the lobby of his repair shop. "I bleed blue," is an expression he repeated often during our interview.

He's been a professional mechanic since high school, a street racer for longer than that, and an unapologetic, life-long Ford lover. He started working on cars at 14, when he changed the water pump on his father's car. Wayne Varley is the owner of the automotive repair business that bears his name. Oh, and the people are much cooler in person than the way they come across on TV. You'll notice a trend in Oklahoma City: Big-cubic-inch big-block Chevys with lots of nitrous rule the street. Instead, we will focus on the people we met during our week in the 405 and the cars we saw while we were there. We obviously take the same position, which is why you won't see any street racing pictures in this article. The answer is obvious, of course: Neither the production company nor Discovery Channel want to be liable if someone were to be injured during the filming of the show, so the racing is done on closed roads. "How can they call themselves street racers if they are racing down a runway?" is a common complaint. Nevertheless, Street Outlaws forces people to discuss this issue because one very common complaint is that the racing on the show is done on closed streets or airport runways.
We like the cars and the adrenaline, but we can't and don't want to condone street racing. While Car Craft fully supports people building fast cars, street racing is an issue we've tap-danced around.
