Parking Lot Piston Swap On Rocky Mountain Race Week 2024! Nobody Is More Hard Core Than Tom Bagguley From Britain!

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 16:59:31 +0000

I first met Tom Bagguley after he took off on vacation and flew across the pond to hang out with us on Rocky Mountain Race Week a couple years ago. Now he’s been back and forth a couple of times, bought a turbocharged, LS swapped, Fox Mustang sight unseen for cheap, and has been participating in these events with us all over the country. This dude is doing it on the cheap, having a great time, and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. On this year’s Rocky Mountain Race Week, he hurt a piston on day one and started out the trip by having to swap it out. In a parking lot. By himself. The dude is a legend, a monster, a dude, and we love him for it. Check out the Rocky Mountain Race Week highlight video on his piston swapping adventures below.

Video Description:

Tom is awesome and has done multiple Race Weeks and Drag and Drive events but this one started off a bit rough when he hurt a piston on day one. He swapped in a “new” one and made the 350 mile trip and laid down another pass to stay in the competition!

Kansas City’s BRAND NEW TRACK is Born! 1320 Video Makes Their First Visit To Flying H Drag Strip And This Place Is Awesome!

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 12:59:46 +0000

Flying H Drag Strip has been the talk of the mid-west drag racing community since they started breaking ground. With the latest in drag strip technology, this place promises to be epic with regards to performance. It’s got the flattest concrete possible, poured walls, great timing system, the best prep equipment, and so much more. It’s an amazing spot I can’t wait to visit, because everyone is talking about it. Recently, Kyle and the gang from 1320Video visited for the first time and were so impressed. Given the fact that Kansas City’s famed KCIR shut down years and years ago, and nearby Topeka has spent the last several years embroiled in controversy, ownership and management changes, and so much more everyone was really looking for something new. Well Flying H Drag Strip is just what the doctor ordered.

Check out the video below.

Video Description:

Flying H Drag Strip is an amazing new facility in Odessa Missouri 30 mins outside Kansas City, and we went to check it out and see Street Car Takeover throw one heck of an event to showcase what this place is all about. Drag racing, roll racing, burnout contest, car show, they did it all. And we’re bringing you guys all the action along with a tour of the facility. Let us know what you guys think of this beautiful new track!

FASTEST PASS Day 1 Rocky Mountain Race Week 2024! Bryant Goldstone’s 6-second Twin Turbo AMC Javelin!

Chad Reynolds — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 11:02:58 +0000

Bryant Gladstone is a bad ass. Not only because he has a pretty bitchin 6 second street car, but also because he’s doing back to back Drag and Drive events this year to prove just how hardcore he is. Our first stop on Rocky Mountain Race Week 2024 was Tulsa Raceway Park where the insane heat was hitting people and cars very hard. Bryant was suffering from some gremlins but made it count when he needed to and ultimately ran deep in the 6’s to make the quickest and fastest lap of Day One. This won’t be the last quick run for him this week, and we know he’s chomping at the bit to prove just how much of a badass this ride is.

Video Description:

Bryant Goldstone put down the fastest pass during day one of Rocky Mountain Race Week with a blistering 6.81 at 216MPH, but we know he has even more in this combo as he just came of a Sick Summer win and looks to make it back to back drag and drive wins this week!

Chad Reynolds — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 12:09:33 +0000

The Southeast Gassers Association puts on some of the most fun drag racing in the world. It’s an awesome series with old school gassers being driven like God intended and they certainly know how to put on a show. That’s why every single venue is packed with spectators and racers. We love this series and one of our favorite things are the names and characters that have been created by the owners, drivers, and teams. With the ladies of the Southeast Gassers Association also playing a big part in the starting line antics and the looks of the series, it’s a full team effort and we dig it.

Here is a new video from our friend Lee Craft, aka Monday Morning Racer, who shot a great feature video from Shadyside Dragway that is all about the A/Gas class. These are the heavy hitters and he not only catches the on track action, but also interviews and more. Check it out.

Finding HISTORY at the Wally Parks NHRA Nostalgia Nationals: The Hot Rod Hoarder Is Sharing His Favorites!

Chad Reynolds — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 10:17:08 +0000

For some reason, NHRA decided to change the name of the National Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green Kentucky a couple years ago and now it is called the Wall Parks Nostalgia Nationals. In California, where the California Hot Rod Reunion has been a huge race and event for decades, we streamed years and years of racing and how action. We also did the same at Beech Bend, but haven’t been in a few years now. So when our friend Tommy Lee Byrd posted up some video from this great event, we were thrilled. And it does not disappoint. Check out all these cool rides!

Video Description:

The Wally Parks Nostalgia Nationals (previously known as the Hot Rod Reunion) is a great place to see historic drag cars, hot rods and wild creations. It’s always held on Father’s Day weekend and my dad and I love to go. While the event has diminished drastically since we first started going in 2008, it’s still one of the greatest collections of nostalgia drag cars East of the Mississippi. We were only there for a day, but let’s take a walk through and see some of the things that caught my attention.

So What’s The Cardinal Rule Of Turbo Charging? Watch This Video And Find Out From The Man Himself, Peter Harrell At Harrell Engine And Dyno.

Chad Reynolds — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 19:50:55 +0000

Whenever we can learn stuff from Pete, we do. This guy is super smart and absolutely generous with his information. So when Pete says he’s going to share the cardinal rule of turbo charging, he means with regards to drag racing. And that is power management, meaning be able to achieve your desired boost level on the starting line every single time. Because if you don’t start a run with the boost where you want it, and you don’t have the control of that boost down low, you won’t be successful going down the track. The good news is that there has never been more technology, knowledge, or available help than there is right now. So watch this video from Pete and see if you can learn something.

The best part is that you can do all the testing of this you want, without ever going to the dragstrip!

Watch and learn folks.
