With the SEMA Show and PRI both cancelled this year due to COVID-19, it has been a major blow to a lot of “festivities” that happen each year. But despite that, we’ve all seemed to have figured out how to survive as best we can and to keep moving forward for a better 2021. With that said, the folks at Innovative Slots have decided that their annual Slot Car race is happening whether PRI is in town or not. Normally this event revolves around PRI, but not this year. Thanks to the fine folks at MotorManiaTV, you’ll be able to watch all the action LIVE from Innovative Slots. They are going to keep the streak alive and are holding the event regardless in order to keep some sense of normalcy. We don’t blame them, and cant’ wait to watch all the live action tomorrow thanks to Mark and Joanne.

Here is all the info. CLICK PLAY BELOW TO WATCH.

It’s become an annual tradition to stream the big slot car race run during the Performance Racing Industry trade show each year from Innovative Slots. This year is no different! Join us at 10:45 Saturday morning for this years running of the Kris Kringle Crackdown!

Well…… it turns out the problem with Doug Cook’s Motion Raceworks Nova may not have been what was originally thought. You’ll remember that this 7 second machine made huge power on the dyno just days before Rocky Mountain Race Week and then on day one of Race Week has an oil leak that made them look at the oil tank, which then made them find metal in the oil. Like smart people they decided that it was time to pull the plug and not ruin this expensive engine. Instead they raced Wally, the awesome FB Marketplace purchased Crown Vic that got copious amounts of Nitrous all week. When they got home the engine came out of the Nova, got sent to the machine shop, and that’s when things get…well…confusing? Well maybe not confusing. Curious? Interesting? Puzzling?

Or maybe it’s lucky. Either way, the engine is back from the machine shop, Doug and the gang are getting ready to put it back in, and they are taking all of us on the whole fun adventure to show just what is going into the beast before it has to get some testing done so it can leave on Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020 2.0 in a few weeks.

Watch the video, hang with the crew, and Doug will attempt to explain just what went wrong and how they fixed it.

When we were at the Throwdown in T-Town this past weekend there was tons of great drag racing, great performances, and plenty of wheelstand action. In fact there were a couple of pretty good saves as some cones gave up their lives in the name of good drag racing. But everyone on the property that saw this big block Nova on nitrous and drag radials pull the front end to the moon and drag the bumper, had their jaw on the ground. This thing came up quick, carried the front end out hard, and buried the rear bumper in the track surface. Before starting to come back down to the ground, both back tires were off the ground and this sucker was bouncing off the limiter. The driver then gave the most perfectly times blip and set this car down on the front end with NO bottoming out of any kind. No sparks, no drama, and kept the hammer down all the way down the race track. It was epic and super fun to watch.

Thanks to our friends at Urban Hillbilly Video, we’ve got the whole thing for you to watch. Check it out below.
