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!

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.

Boost Makes Better: This Build and Dyno Test Of An 8-71 Blown 427ci LS3 Is Awesome – Airboat Engine!

Boost Makes Better: This Build and Dyno Test Of An 8-71 Blown 427ci LS3 Is Awesome – Airboat Engine!

If you are going to build a kick ass airboat engine, you need a few things. The first is obviously some horsepower, the second is  a deep reservoir of torque, and the third is reliability so you are not gator food out there somewhere in the wilderness. This video is a comprehensive and awesome look at the build of just such an engine. In the typical fashion of the channel, Jeff at Horsepower Monster takes us through the build from the block on up to the end results of dyno testing. Starting with a Dart LS-Next block and stuffing the whole thing full of the best parts in the aftermarket, the engine is a 427ci power maker topped with Prestige Motorsports (the engine builder here) own design LS3 11-degree cylinder heads. Breaking news: they work.

After all is said and done, the engine sits more than 6ft tall on the dyno cart all hooked up. The height will not be a problem in an airboat where literally the sky is the limit. There are two sets of dyno pulls made, one with the supercharger basically at 1:1 with the engine and the second with a little bit of overdrive. Both pulls are made on 93-octane gas and the engine is only pulled to 6,000 RPM which is the max it will see in an airboat.

The power is impressive for both pulls and we agree with Jeff that with some higher octane gas, a little more OD, and some more RPM, they could be way bigger! This is a great video and an awesome engine.

Goodwood Fun: Here’s 10 Wild, Weird, and Bodacious Touring Cars From Goodwood Over The Years That You Forgot About

Street Racing Action From The Small Tire Short Notice KC Cash Days In Mexico

Street Racing Action From The Small Tire Short Notice KC Cash Days In Mexico

The Wyco Racing Small Tire Short Notice Cash Days event looked to have a very diverse group of racers ready to throw down on the street. The location was interesting as well, and in this great video from Urban Hillbilly Videos you’ll get to see all the action from start to finish. And like I said, there are some interesting cars at this one. Sure you are going to see Camaros and Mustangs and Novas oh my, but you are also going to see interesting imports, Mopars, trucks, and more. This is a cool video that is fun to watch. And the road? WTF are they thinking? This thing goes up and then down before a huge hill after the finish line. I guess it helps you slow down quick, but man it looks like a weird place to race.

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!

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

Mar 20, 20211320 Drag News, 1320 Event Coverage, 1320 Spotlight, 1320 Videos

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.

Pontiac Power Video: 535ci Of Butler Performance Built Blower Motors Cranks Out More Than 800hp!

Pontiac Power Video: 535ci Of Butler Performance Built Blower Motors Cranks Out More Than 800hp!

This is the cure for the common LS engine. You are going to watch an awesome 535ci, Butler Performance built Pontiac engine whine and grunt out more than 800hp and more than 850 lb/ft of torque on the dyno. The insane thing is that the torque peak is made at 3,8000 RPM according to the Butler guys so that would make this thing an awesome street engine in every way. It will mangle tires from here to eternity. We have no idea what model of Pontiac this engine was headed for but we can only guess it is a GTO of some form or fashion. We’d love to see it in a Bonneville or Catalina but we likes ’em big. That’s just our thing.

Note the fact that this thing has a damned AC compressor hooked to it as well. That means whoever is driving around with this monster under the hood is also going to be doing it in comfort. How cool is that?! Far be it from us to suggest modifying he awesome work done by Butler Performance but if one wanted to make some more horsepower in a pretty quick fashion they could swap out the wagon-wheel sized top pulley on the blower, load the thing up with good gas, and really let it eat. Dumb for a street engine but interesting for the occasional trip to the strip, right?

We love the fact that people still crave engines like this and the fact that Butler Performanc is still a thriving performance business even a decade after Pontiac ceased being a thing. Who needs an LS engine, right?

Long Lost Film Of ’66 Winternationals Found! Sunday Eliminations With Packed Pomona Grandstands!

Long Lost Film Of ’66 Winternationals Found! Sunday Eliminations With Packed Pomona Grandstands!

(Film and Words by Darr Hawthorne ) In 1965 Santa brought me a new 16mm Bolex film camera, rather than using my dad’s cameras any-longer. The first opportunity I had to use it was on the Pomona Raceway starting line at the 1966 NHRA Winternationals, I’d been granted an NHRA photo/media credential with my best friend, at 14 years of age, lucky I know. It was my third time on the line at the Big Go West.

These ten minutes of original footage shows off some of the Top Fuel legends like the Greek, Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen and Tony Nancy and event winner Mike Snively in Roland Leong’s Hawaiian. Leong recently said of the win, “Thats my wagon (at the end of the video). Must be 1966 and yes we won.” Leong added, “ After that we were on our way out of town going on tour to our first date and a ’55 Chevy towing a ’55 Chevy racecar side swiped a short bridge (while) passing us and then served into us. Wagon ended up upside down, trailer broke off and went about 1/4 mile into the desert. Both ’55 Chevy’s ended up upside down. Thankfully NO ONE got hurt.” Adding, “Thats my story and I’m sticking to it”. 

1966 also presented a showcase to the early evolution from stock-bodied cars into nitro funny cars; Jack Chrisman’s red Comet, Gas Ronda’s Mustang, Maynard Rupp’s rear-engined Hemi-Powered Chevelle, Don Gay’s blown GTO, Steve Bovan’s altered wheelbase Nova, Joe Davis’ Colt 45 Mustang, Preston Honea’s Marlin and Bob Davis in the Jolly Green Giant Impala. These lumbering giants were relegated to the dragster classes, since NHRA had not yet recognized a true funny car class.

Along with them, was Super Stocker Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins in his ’66 Nova and event winner Shirley Shahan’s “Drag-on Lady” Plymouth Fury, the first woman to win a National Eliminator, at this Winternationals. 

There’s Big John Mazmanian and Stone Woods & Cook with a bunch of AA/Gas Supercharged monsters as well as some early Modified and Comp Eliminator cars too, in front of the packed Pomona Raceway grandstands. 

Grab a hot dog and a cold one for ten minutes in the Way Back machine for some long misplaced film from the ’66 Winternationals.
