Me and my wife met Reaper a few years back at a small track in North Alabama. As soon as this man got out of his rig he started shaking everyone's hand taking pictures with people one of the most personable people I've met from the Street Outlaws show. Hell the exhibition show he was putting on got rained out for Saturday and instead of going home he rescheduled it for Sunday. He could have packed his stuff up and went back to Oklahoma but didn't and put on a good show. I have the upmost respect for this man not many people would do that.

All the 405 guys are amazing they all play games to win but this guy trashing everyone for clicks is wrong name 1 other person bitching and complaining like this all of the time he cries about how he has been done wrong he twists shit like the npk shit cheap didn't want any part of it for the start and of course they payed chief to show up to get the rest of the 405 to give it a shot non of them wanted to spend all year away from home unless npk could pull the crowds larg enough to pay the racers to show up Idt it was chief trying to hold the team back it was a new venture that the 405 was already crazy busy JJ crew doesn't do the npk stuff this negative shit is good for clicks but for someone that says chief is playing victim and starting drama he is in his shop working on car he has spoke on some of what was going on this version doesn't seem real in comparison what little facts have been shared and for good reason they have a show to air still they need the hype as far as JJ threatening Chief I highly doubt that since JJ and chief are so close that Chief and Jackie went and drove there cars and hung out in Vegas wtf is this guy's problem

All for the cameras! I have heard nothing but horrific stories by none other than the other outlaw castmates, this is literally been repeated with echoes, multiple times! You can clearly see this tension in almost every episode after the 2nd season started really. None of the cast members were happy with that boy, he got cocky, he let that fame go to his head and it's a typical story that played out in real time! I believe every word Reaper said in this video!

America's list - I thought that Chief left because, when Axman blew up because he thought Chief kept changing the rules, that Chief was afraid of getting his ass kicked by Axman if he stood up to him. I lost respect for Chief that show.

[@rogerw3818]

Shawn ruled the list, until he did not. Dave ruled the list, until he did not. Chief ruled the list, until he did not. Ryan rules the list, until... Did Reaper ever rule the list? Chief won an NPK event the first time he tried it, at a track where his combination was at a major disadvantage. Has Reaper ever won and NPK event? I have no illusions regarding Big Chief. Like everyone else in this world, he's going to look after himself first. That said, I'll take Reaper's stories with a grain of salt, but will enjoy his take on the whole situation.

[@kylestewart8354]

Reaper has no reason to lie. The guy is always the same F5 tornado he always is. I respect that about him. However I know everyone has their own perspectives on situations. But reaper has always been the outsider looking in plus he has nothing to loose. Winning races has ZERO to do with the business of film making.

[@eddieinvicta8700]

I don’t think you have to “rule” an event or a list to be a good racer or to have an opinion. Actually, since Reaper hasn’t “ruled” but has tried his hardest over and over, against any oppression, he is a good source of information. Think of him as an offensive lineman- not the QB or the RB, but a guy that works hard on and off the field. I hated Reaper on the show- always getting mad, big mouth, his car seemed to only work 7 out of 10 times….but I like this portrayal of Reaper. He is a car guy, in his garage, doing car guy stuff. I also like Big Chief. He is a car guy, in his garage, doing car guy stuff. Maybe the two are just TOO alike to get along.

[@jefflaflamme6627]

This has nothing to do about how successful you are in racing. Its about the attitude, being a team player. Being respectful to your friends and simply just doing your damn job. Then turning around and lying and talking bull shit. You not have ears?

@@eddieinvicta8700 Reaper made it a point to tout winning a Radial event at the first attempt, something that Chief had never done. I'm just pointing out the other side of the coin. I'm fully with you on the TV show portrayals, as these shows are exactly like all the other "Reality" shows. Conflict, particularly the back stabbing and snide, braggart commentary.

James, I’m very happy you said this because when I went to American Outlaws in Ennis TX in 2015 my opinion of Chief changed. He was not nice to the fans but guess who was extremely nice guy to me and talked to me when he didn’t have to and shook my hand genuinely, YOU!!!!!!! That’s why I follow you, always respect you in the comments because you were so nice to me when I came up to you while you were busting your ass to get your car ready to race . To the point that I said to you, Hey brother, Thank you for taking the time to talk me and you said, “ Hey brother it was my pleasure!” You are real and a hell of good guy. Much love and respect.

[@riverrat4631]

I’m going to be totally honest. As James was saying these things I remember back and what he is saying makes perfect sense now. Shawn seen the writing on the wall and left Mid-West. He left for a reason. If you follow any of the 405’s KZbin channels you will notice they all hang around each other, but you never see Chief in any of there videos. Shawn,Ryan,Chuck,Dave and others show up in videos a lot. But not Chief, I always wondered why?? Now we know. James has warned people for years and nobody listened. I watched Chief’s video and said the same thing James just did. If the rules was so bad then why was he the only one that left?? Why would he leave his Boy’s?? There is always 3 sides to every story. My side, Your side, and the truth. I think James just gave us the truth….

Ya I feel like maybe some points were his view on things, but if you just watch the show you could tell what was going on. When Chief separated from his wife and Jackie started coming around. You could see Shawn distance himself little by little, until he realized that Chief wasn't the same dude he was always friends with.

[@adamft0562]

@@RustyWells2 I keep seeing the comments about him not being on the show in years and that's why it's not true. Did you ever sit back and think this isn't a damn show for them, it's their fn life? They lived it, this is the job they woke up and went to. TV is edited for you to see what they(production)want you to see. I hate to say this cause I've been a Chief fan from day 1, but this video ties so many things together it's crazy. I believe chief wanted to go back to some original rules for the show, but why didn't anyone back him up? Why over the past 4 or 5 years has everyone being putting distance between themselves and chief? Why when I watch everyone else from the 405 on KZbin another driver from the 405 is around, but never chief? Why did Shawn really leave? The answer we all got was he wanted to focus on his family more and not so much the racing, but he's done more racing now than he ever did when him and chief were partners. None of that made since until this video was posted. As much as it pains me to say this, I believe reaper is telling the truth about this situation.

Well… precious isn’t JJ’s wife, Trisha is . If he’s your dude and you broke bread with him and respect him so much. Might wanna know who his wife is. Just sayin You need your 40 minutes of fame, you do you. But nobody looks good when they bash and disrespect. Negative sells and that’s what your trying to do. Chief did his video and not once disrespected anyone or tried to air dirty laundry. He said he’s not apart of the other shows, he’s doing his thing and wishes everyone the best. Weather it’s the truth or not, he didn’t disrespect anyone, nor did he try to win a pissing contest. He will keep the fans that like and respect the fact that he lives his life the way he wants to, even if people disagree. He don’t act any different today then he did when it all stated. I hope this brings you the money and fame you are wanting, but no matter what. The disrespect, negative talk, trying to make a dollar and or fame from trying to make people look bad is just distasteful.

I liked chief as a racer. But I know what reaper says is fact about how he is with the fans. At lights out a few years ago he put about a 15 foot radius of tape around his car and Shawn's. Shawn came out and ripped the tape from around his car and came out to see fans and take pics. Chief stayed in his trailer the entire time and didn't talk to one fan. And no one could get close to his car at all

Why does chief owe u something

[@NorthRacing]

Ya ur right he was only paid to come to south Georgia motorsports to sit in his trailer the and race. But yet every other person was out with fans. There is a reason the track owner never had chief come back. And I never said he owed me anything. But he is nobody without his fans period. He's just a normal racer, the fans are what made street outlaws what it is today. It's not about owing anything it's about respect and acknowledging the fans where there to meet him and see him race. It's not like the car was broke and he was rushing to fix it. He literally sat in his trailer for HOURS. I could careless about meeting him. But plenty of young kids where upset. That's why I believe it was the best thing for Shawn to take over. He is the nicest most humble guy I've ever met, he will literally stand out there till 4am signing stuff and talking with fans.

[@Airplanefish]

Unbelievable. What is James trying to accomplish with this video? Chiefs video said nothing about James.

[@H3110NU]

Not defending anyone here just sharing my thoughts. I have depression, nasty anxiety and ADHD. I’m always like 2-3 hour late everywhere I go, it’s a battle in my brain to do things. I’m confrontational, and easily get upset when a thought I have isn’t seriously. I get convinced something is the only way to do it. It is actually quite hard to keep friendships being that way and you always have a mask on. I’ve always thought that chief had some similar mental health issues. Like when lutz crashed or beating lutz etc his reactions were very similar to how I would have reacted. Like the only person on the show who was still friends with him was Lutz and he was afraid beating lutz would make him not his friend etc. Someone being a Germaphobe would absolutely hate meeting fans and shaking hands, I get that reaction. Calling people nasty, meaning the germs not the people. I don’t know any of these people personally but I’ve enjoyed getting to know them all over 14 seasons. James I can truly say, you weren’t my favourite on the show, but I’ve enjoyed your KZbin with you and your wife way more than the hot head they portray as or instigated the actions around you.

[@flipfloptanlines926]

Well said. I share some of the same burdens in my head. Ive also noticed similar traits in others. Having these mental variances is a benefit once we figure out the equation. Its applying the benefit in a way that makes us valuable to folks is the toughest part for me. As i have commented earlier it doesnt matter how right you are if you articulate it in a negative way. And its difficult to impossible to articulate in a positive way if those ghost in our heads are not faced head on. Good luck to you sir

[@joejones2847]

I get your suffering too I have PTSD from Iraq and I get what you’re saying. I understand Chief and Reaper and Memphis in this thing. It’s not anyone against anyone until the cars line up but some seem to make it that way. Chief is one of them. He is like me I HATE CHANGE I will fight you over small stuff like to the point I have to eat with the same spoon when I use a spoon. I don’t like anything to change and he is the same way he doesn’t have and give and isn’t pliable. He is like Kamikaze Chris. Chris doesn’t like germs he’s weird about peoples smell and feet and I couldn’t imagine being like that and having people breathe through your window or always wanting a hug Picture and stuff like that. But Chief wants stuff to fit his idea of the way it should be not compromise. I hope he thinks about us the fans and gets it together and he starts talking to people like people and enjoys racing with friends again.

Reaper is full of it. Chief was just interviewed by Limpy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZnIlpmMe9lpeck Chief admitted, outside of “title” , he hasn’t been a true race master because of Discovery since season 3. Every racer has their own contract. Chief was ticked at the 15 minute turnaround rule because discovery wanted 12-15 races. But he had to deliver in the driver meets what DISCOVERY wanted . With every driver on contract, Chief can’t tell a racer what to do or Chief could get sued. So Reaper is full of it. Discovery chooses the roads. They have to get the insurance, the permits, etc. Watch the interview. Chief lives rent free on Reaper (JJ’s buddy) head.

[@seanmatal2383]

Well seems to me like everybody fell into the line of just making a show instead of a documentary of street racing..

@@seanmatal2383 I agree. But everyone dumps on Chief without knowing the reason. And Reaper can only race mods. That’s not true street. At least not here in the northeast or when I go to South Carolina. Sean gets some pay and that’s good because he’s OG. Ryan is still street at heart and even with money stays humble. Don’t forget, until Daddy Dave got $$ as solely a driver blowing up every sponsor’s vehicle, he wasn’t top 5 (or got there blowing up vehicles). Chief is making bank on the real streets. JJ’s chase is the race got old real quick and won’t be back next season. I’d say Chief will take 2 years like he did last time and Discovery will realize Sean (who I like) isn’t who people want to watch as race master.

I’m not saying you’re lying, but even if you’d been in the driver’s meeting when whatever happened happened, I still wouldn’t believe it out of your mouth.

[@rogerspice7743]

I have to agree Wrekte, the only person I've seen "flinging mud" so far is James (just as history has always been). I do not doubt that Reaper feels he is right (all the time) and in his own way and capacity being sincere. However, I remember when Chief invited James to join the 405 with high expectation that he would be a team player. I do not feel that ever happened. James made a lot of mistakes and had more second chances than anyone I have ever seen. Just being honest, unfortunately James seem to be toxic to a team. I looked up prim Adana in the dictionary and their was a picture of James. Sometime it is important to look in the mirror and be honest. Nobody cares for a cry-baby. I think Reaper could do very well, however I feel he is his worst enemy. Just my opinion.

[@jesseevans7974]

From what I could see they all had to big of a ego after they started getting famous always fighting acting like teenagers half the time nobody wanting to race cause they didn't want to lose their spot on the list it was all a shit show and I'd say a lot of the problems was probably coming from the people running the show smh I quit watching the show a long time ago

I liked Chief in the early years. But what made me dislike him was the NPK season when he would not at ball with the 405 as a team. He basically wanted to do his own thing instead of sharing information with the team. Racing is like wrestling. When you are in the match it truly is you against the opponent. But what you get from the team is information on what works against that opponent. in racing it is what works on the track. So that stunt that Chief pulled told me Chief was all about himself. Now Reaper has pretty much confirmed what I felt. Reaper gains a fan and Chief loses a fan. Still pulling for Ryan Martin!

Howcome you don't see Ryan, Dave, Monza or any of the other faster and successful guys complaining, ITS BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO WIN & NOT LOOK FOR EXCUSES, excuses stay at home...but here you will get someone that wasn't even fast enough will trow out excuses why you didn't make it... We here in South Africa get the same excuses, but as drag racers for years we leave that at home.

So, Reaper, I salute you sir, for stepping up and doing what nobody else was willing to do, cuz it obviously needed to be said and was probably long overdue and the fact that you have righteousness on your side is really all that matters when it comes down to it OG.
