I've watched the other episodes to support drag racing, but all the prom episodes, blind dates, etc., have been very boring to me.
Also, don't EVEN get me started about when they show racing coverage and they have pictures from like 5 different venues all at once. Plus it isn't done chronologically because they showed the Englishtown/NYC episode before the Capps/Topeka episode. That gets my goat all the time!
But this particular episode about drivers dealing with all their promotional duties and criticisms and then driving the car, well I thought it was a lot more engaging than anything else I've seen on this show so far.

Folks seem to keep forgetting that this show is NOT about drag racing. It's about the Force family. So, proms, dates and the rest of it, are what the show is mostly about. The kids and how John does & doesn't relate to them. Same with Laurie. The drag racing stuff is just there because it's what they do. This is a story about a family and how the father's obsession with his profession and his legacy has influenced and is still influencing, his family.
Gotta keep things in perspective
