Race Week 2.0 – Day Three – Tulsa, Oklahoma – Andy Doesn’t Get The Passes He Wants, But Still Leads!

Rocky Mountain Race Week is in the books, and we were traveling the route with all these folks so we could bring you the FREE livestream that we had going all week long. It was a week full of fun, adventures, carnage, and more, but even if you were there you wouldn’t have been able to see it all. There is that much going on! But thanks to the folks at Motion Raceworks we’ve got more cool video coverage from the entire week and we’re going to share it all with you one day at a time. They were on-site with their parts merch trailer and were helping people out with great stuff all week long. This is the third video from Day Three at Tulsa Raceway Park in Tulsa Oklahoma, which means lots of cars are racing but carnage is starting to become a problem for some racers. It’s hump day and that means there are a lot of people who need to be good today or their week will be over.

You have to finish the drives, the racing, AND stay consistent if you want the win and that is much harder than it might look, especially if you are in one of the faster classes.

Motion Raceworks Rocky Mountain Race Week Daily Coverage: Day One Action From Thunder Valley

Rocky Mountain Race Week is in the books, and we were traveling the route with all these folks so we could bring you the FREE livestream that we had going all week long. It was a week full of fun, adventures, carnage, and more, but even if you were there you wouldn’t have been able to see it all. There is that much going on! But thanks to the folks at Motion Raceworks we’ve got more cool video coverage from the entire week and we’re going to share it all with you one day at a time. They were on-site with their parts merch trailer and were helping people out with great stuff all week long. This is the first video from Day One at Thunder Valley in Noble Oklahoma, which means everyone is racing and there is no on road carnage or anything yet. This is the day where everyone thinks everything is great and that they can win this whole thing. Spirits are high. At least until the racing gets going.

Why? Because some of these poor folks are going to tear their stuff up before they ever get to leave the first track. The good news is that they have all night to work on them because we don’t leave for the next track until the next morning, and the drive isn’t horrible from Thunder Valley to the Texas Motorplex in Ennis. Plus, there is the World’s Largest Summit Racing Equipment store on the way and it’s full of great parts to fix most anything.

Between Summit and the Motion Raceworks trailer full of parts, there was no shortage of new stuff going on hot rods Sunday night.

FREE LIVE BRACKET RACING: The BTE Labor Day $250K Is On! The Richest Footbrake Purse In History!

FREE LIVE BRACKET RACING: The BTE Labor Day $250K Is On! The Richest Footbrake Purse In History!

It’s on like Donkey Kong this weekend, with big payouts at the Yellow Bullet Nationals and here at the BTE Labor Day $250K. Whether you like heads-up drag racing or the ultra-tight margins of victory you see at the big money bracket races, you’ll have plenty to watch this weekend. Right here, all weekend long, you’ll get to see some of the baddest bracket racers in the country ripping it up on the strip at Bristol’s Thunder Valley in search of the big money. And as the title says, there are no trans brakes or delay boxes here, this is all footbrake racing and that means tons of great door car action.

We’re excited to see just how all this pans out, but are just as excited to see a purse this big for footbrake racers. Last year’s race was worth $100k, and they stepped it up in a REALLY big way this year by going all the way to $250K. Man, this is going to be fun to watch.

When Last Minute Testing Your Burnout Truck For Cleetus And Cars, Sometimes Your Driveway Becomes The Burnout Pad

When Last Minute Testing Your Burnout Truck For Cleetus And Cars, Sometimes Your Driveway Becomes The Burnout Pad

Yep, James is no poser, that’s for sure. When under a time crunch to get their LS Swapped S10 Burnout truck, aka Burnie, ready for Cleetus and Cars Burnout Rivals in Indy, sometimes you have to piss off the neighbors. After stealing the trans out of his race car, and going through brake issues and a couple other snags, Burnie was back up and running with just hours to go before leaving for Indy. Of course there were a couple other snags and just an hour before it had to be on the trailer there was testing that needed going. After all, you got to know if there are vibrations, if the new torque converter is okay, and whether the brakes will hold for big time tire frying excitement or not.

Testing was in order and with no time to go anywhere else, the driveway became the burnout pad whether the neighbors liked it or not. Now I happen to know James’ neighborhood. I went there to pick up some tires he hooked me up with for the drive days on Rocky Mountain Race Week in 2019. It’s your average Colorado high desert neighborhood with family homes all around. This is not the country, and it is not remote. It is very close to town.

But the testing had to happen and the results were no vibrations, a tune that needs some tweaks, and brakes that need more bleeding to hold. But most importantly the smoke happened. And lots of it. Watch.

FREE LIVE RACING – Footbrake Racers Are Getting It On! The Bigfoot $75,000 Footbrake Only Race Starts Today!

FREE LIVE RACING – Footbrake Racers Are Getting It On! The Bigfoot $75,000 Footbrake Only Race Starts Today!

We all know that big money bracket racing has gotten bigger, and richer, and more exciting over the past few years, but one of the coolest things is the embrace the racing community has given to bottom bulb racers in all this. Recognizing that bottom bulb racers who can cut a .00 light and run dead on at the stripe are arguably even more bad ass than someone doing so with a brake and a delay box, means that they deserve a place on the stage. More and more big money races are giving bottom bulb racers their own eliminations rounds until they get down to one, and some of their own shootouts as well. But within the bottom bulb big money bracket racing community is a special group. Footbrakers.

With no trans brake, anyone that can go .00 and run dead on the number swapping feet at the green is a bad ass in our book. Apparently the rest of the world agrees, because there are more and more footbrake classes and events being put on than ever. It gives bracket racers, and NHRA Stock and Super Stock racers, the chance to put on a show and go for big money.

This weekend’s Loose Rocker Promotions Bigfoot $75,000 race is for footbrake racers only. Not a trans brake in sight, and money starting to fly at just round 3. Oh, and if there are enough cars to make 10 rounds happen then the purse goes up to $100,000!

Watch all the action live right here!

That’s right folks, we’re SUPER excited to be bringing you 5 days of awesome bracket racing from The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the 2021 K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries.

We will be live Tuesday afternoon, and then all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for all the racing action.

Friday is the big money Million race which has a guaranteed purse of $250,000 to the winner regardless of entries. We’re pretty sure this race is going to be off the hook based on our last west coast race this year. Given the fact that all the heavy hitters are heading cross country for it as well, this promises to be one hell of an event.

Mid West Drag Racing Series Xtreme Texas Nationals LIVE Qualifying Starts Right Here!

Mid West Drag Racing Series Xtreme Texas Nationals LIVE Qualifying Starts Right Here!

While this year’s Mid West Drag Racing Series is kicking off their season in a big way, with a new TV package from MAVTV and streaming from MAVTVPlus, there will still be a little taste of the old at this event as the streaming coverage with MAV will not include Round 3 and 4 of qualifying on Saturday. Because of this the MWDRS has asked us to stream the remaining qualifying sessions and that means you’ll be able to watch for free from about 11 am central to the end of qualifying around 3 pm central today. This will be an abbreviated version of our normal coverage, because Chad is also announcing this event with Al Tucci, but we’ll bring you all the action before eliminations.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH FOR FREE RIGHT HERE ON BANGSHIFT.COM

If you are joining us for eliminations, you’ll have to go to MAVTVPLUS.COM to subscribe and watch.

LIVE Big Money Bracket Racing For Juniors! The Summer Blast Race Is A Junior Dragsters Only Event With Big Money On The Line.

LIVE Big Money Bracket Racing For Juniors! The Summer Blast Race Is A Junior Dragsters Only Event With Big Money On The Line.

For the last few years people have been talking about putting on big money bracket races just for the Jr. Dragster crowd, and to answer that call is The Summer Blast race at Beaver Springs Dragway where Jr. Dragster racers will be going after $10,000! Can you imagine winning $10,000 at 10 years old? Or even at 15? Hell no, but these kids are going for it. We’re talking big stakes, killer reaction times, and family for for the weekend. It’s The Summer Blast and all the action is live right here thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. Watch all the action below, and don’t forget to like and share and subscibe and ring the bell and rub your belly and whatever else they tell you to do for YouTube videos!

What I love about this race is that there is nothing else going down the track that the Jr. Dragster drivers have to play second fiddle to. This is their chance to be the stars, outside of the Jr. Finals and those kinds of points races. This is all about them, the way it should be, and I imagine the energy there is intense and fun. I bet the parent crew chiefs are feeling the pressure today too!

So, what’s with the name change? Well, it’s because more than just Pro Mods will be taking part! In addition to the howlers we’ve been showing you since day one, there is now a $20,000 to win Funny Car class that will battle it out for a hell of a pot. How many will be contesting for the cash? Hopefully more than a few…if there are more than 13 cars in the field, there’s money in the semi-finals and the quarters! X275 will also be on the grounds, running the event as a 2020 points race. Dragsters, Top Sportsman, Outlaw Big Tire (no time) and Junior Dragsers will be running as well.
