what did you think about last nights 200,000.00 no prep race

Lots of surprises last night with soom bad and some good racing. Dominator's pit crew really screwed him up sticking his big foot in the staging lights. LOL. A couple of Hemi's in the final but I'm not sure what type of Hemi's they were.

Enjoyed it. Tickled me that Lutz broke in the final.


Tim

When does it hit HULU?

Didn't watch it, waiting for the book to come out, Birdman is running a BAE Hemi, and I think Megalodon is also a BAE , not sure on the displacement.

looks like a BAE

What engine and set-up did the Challenger have?

David French's Challenger.

Thanks.

I liked the fact that some of big headed 405 guys got their butts handed to them. Maybe its just how they edit stuff but some of the guys seem like real class acts while others are not so much... I laughed at Ryan comment saying its not good for him to guess at the tree because he has the faster car, just admit it, you got your butt TREED!

Looks like fun

Thought that was very big of Meg to wait on lutz for $200K

Reaper seemed to have his turd flying.

Hemi's rule in every class.....They will all be Hemi powered by the end of this year....Love those procharged monsters...

Nice to see a Mopar (all-Mopar) going rounds.
Gotta wonder what was up with the Crow, rearend in crooked, or a bent link, or what...
Was kinda surprising to see Reaper going rounds.
No idea what Dom's crewman was thinking standing in the beam.

Guess we all need a flat billed hat and black tube socks to look cool now, lol. Big Cheese's recovery must be going well...sure looks like he's eating good.

Did Lutz move to Oklahoma or what? Isn't his shop in PA?

I loved seeing Megalodon in the final. Nice seeing a Procharged car winning instead of breaking like they usually do.
Glad to see Goad doing well w/ the Reaper. Like him or not, he works hard.

You know watching Street Outlaws is like drinking to much at the bar. The next morning you have a heck of a hangover, but it was fun. Love all the Hemi's taking names and kicking but.

Birdman's car is super consist but you got to enjoy watching other racers going rounds

Birdman had just switched from twins to large single and was trying to get a handle on the tuneup.

Same for Larson.

That turbo is HUGE!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was ok... maybe I'm getting burnt out on it all now. I did like seeing the Vixen go rounds and pretty sure the challenger will win one this season.

I enjoyed the show. I agree that the Vixen will win one this year!

Sorry


Been a wile lmao

Hey no spoilers! I try and avoid watching the races on youtube so when they do air, I don't know who wins... but inadvertently watched the vixen winning a race.

Did see someone talk about how much $ they have into it... like many of the other racers didn't spend as much. That's one part I can't stand, the excuses these guys constantly make. Sometimes just give the better car/driver credit.

I enjoyed it. One of the better shows in a long time.... Megladon is a bad machine. Almost always seems to make a good pass. Even though a 69' Camaro I still like the car. Hemi powered just makes it even better.

nice seeing non pro mods run

I taped SIX HOURS of that action on my VHS machine ! ...

....but I kind of get a every time I hear NO PREP !

almost as funny as those from Memphis saying STREETS all the time !

Always enjoy the no prp races. It would be better if they would just show the complete run, instead of all that different angle, inside the car, outside the car, front, rear BS they show on each race. Just show me the dang race. If it’s a close race show me stripe shoot. then you can show all the BS shots to impress all the nonracer viewers. 🤬

But you still have to be on stand in to change the tape

How about Doc"s Fulton 900+ motor. I'd love to know what it makes on straight motor and see the dyno results. Does a motor of that size rev quickly?

Darrin Morgan just posted this one.

Anyone know how is doc's recovery going

Earlier in the show they were making pass's and Look like they were weighing in on scales. Is this something that no-prep races do?

Different combo's get different weight breaks.

Thaxs…….

Doc said he was running a TRE 959. He was installing a new 959 in the car had another hurt 959 on the floor & some 800+ cubic inch in the bed of his truck going back for a rebuild. The TRE959 prices out at $96,000+ and 1800 H.P. on Motor & he has 3 of them???? Must be nice to have T.V. money....

Is it just me, or was the show (or any race for that matter) not a whole lot more interesting before they all got sponsors, huge trailers, brand new trucks, and megadollar cars?

^^^ kinda like drag racing...

When you offer up 200,000.00 pay-outs you are going to have that. Check out the pits at NHRA events and they pay out way less than that. Heck I shake my head walking through the Jr Dragster pits at my local track. Mommy and Daddy got to be rich.

I just got a heads up about racing Memphis again

I love this Memphis show BUT man it’s getting old watching the weak cars they go up against. Racing on their street and getting killed in the 60 foot gets old week after week. This show won’t last if these races aren’t evened out some. Better save my old Mattlock dvd’s

Yea, someone else won a race.

not enough to compete with the turbo hemi cars.

Wasn't going to watch it, but then I saw Chief hit the wall, so I got the pop corn and watched.

Vixen, Megalodon, and Birdman,, ,any one else running a Hemi(type) ? Bodie (SIC) use to run a Hemi, anyone know if he still is?

I was thinking more along the lines of the normal show where they do their list racing. When they were basic back half cars w/ conventional headed motors and more of a "budget" type of build. These tube chassis cars w/ the best of the best hardware really loses my attention quick.

The Memphis show is a lot better IMO, but I agree w/ what was said earlier...if their competition never makes a somewhat clean pass, it gets old real quick.

I know people that have gone to Memphis and raced them. THE ONLY races that make it on TV are the ones Memphis wins. When Memphis loses (which yes they do) it does NOT get aired...LOL. So yea in a way the show IS scripted.

They did have a Memphis show on last night at 9pm that showed races that didn't air and it was races where Memphis lost... not all of them, but saw at least a couple the few mins I actually paid attention to it.

I saw Chuck has a huge tractor trailer and a crew of guys but still does not have a spare trans.

Or a guy who can build one to stay together.

Me thinks FarmTruck has been watching to much WWE................

i always thought farm truck and asin WAS WWE ?

More like Ringling Bros....

I think they are getting to the 14.5 min in their 15 min of fame, I mean how long can you watch the same dumb $hit...."that's the fastest pass ive EVER made" HA HA HA HA HA HA

LIKE BUTTON

The Farm truck is one of my favorite things about the show. The truck itself, not him & Azn. Always like a good sleeper & this is it until it became world wide known because of the t.v. show.

I wonder what the future of "No Prep" is?
I look at one set of no prep rules for back east on here recently, my tube chassis Cuda could meet those rules with a door tag
I would have to step the power way up to be competitive though
I wonder how quick and fast they run in the 1/8 mile ?

I'd say for local tracks it ought to be good.

Edit: if you are in Bend I don't what's closer to you than Madras and I don't think I've been ther since the early 1990's. Woodburn is a good tow (for my tastes) and so is Yakima. There is Walla Walla but I've never been there. Yet.

Ona prepped track, the top guys have been in the 3.80’s @ over 200.

That is correct. My car has been that quick at over 209. The "prep" on these tracks varies quite a bit. Some of them are good and others aren't. The race we made in Tucson the track was washed of all compound and it was like a skating rink for the first couple of rounds. The starting line improved with some passes but downtrack remained really tricky. We are going to try to make the whole series this year but that will be tough. The races are scattered all over the country.

209 in the 1/8 is just flat out haulin. One of our local grudge cars has been 3.69 at 210+ in the 1/8 & that is on true 10.5" tires. Crazy what some of you guys are going these days. I just can't afford to ever go that fast, prepped or not....

Go Bob GO!! You must be pretty confident on your ability to make some waves to make the commitment! We’ll live vicariously through you!!

So how does one pack for this?? What kind of spare equipment do you have?

We have a complete spare BAE motor from pan to intake manifold including injectors, rails, fuel pump, oil pump...just pull one out and put the other one in. We have 2 spare 3rd members, 2 spare transmissions, spare mag, an extra converter, one spare complete head, and just about 2 of anything that can fail including axles, CF driveshaft, wheelie bars...the list is pretty extensive. We just got a new(actually a demo) 44' Intech gooseneck that Murder Nova used for 6 months last year. We feel really confident that we can compete. Still searching for the best tire, though. The medium M/T Bubbas work pretty well but we think the big Hoosier P/M tires might be a bit better. As soon as we get both motors freshened we'll get out to test. Our first race will be in Sonoma at Boddie's deal March 2,3. Then March 30 is in Bako for the WCHRA deal. We'll use these to test. As soon as the Street Outlaws No Prep schedule is posted we'll hit that full time if all goes well.

Now that is NUTS!

Anyone hear Larry Larsons interview about Jeff Lutz?

Yea no love there ----

no. do you have a link sammy ?

Surprise, Street Outlaws show & all 405'ers in the finals.

He got interviewed before his race with Lutz.
Seems he does not have any love for him and he he expressed his feelings quite well.
Sorry no link.

i missed the start. i kind of figured there may be opposing feelings between them. [to say the least]
thanks anyway sammy.

They have been rivals in Drag Week for many years now.

Lutz has screwed over a few customers in the past with shoddy or incomplete work too. Larson is well aware of Lutz's character off the track.

discovery must be paying these other guys something to fill the field. Who would tow all over the USA and lose?? LOL

I mean seriously, some of these guys are way out gunned and still keep showing....?? that's some DEEP pockets. If you have ever towed 8, 10 or more hours to race, it gets expensive with just fuel, food, and hotel bills. Even if you rough it and sleep in your truck or RV or trailer, its still a pretty good expense. All to go face 3 sec cars ?? I mean B-Rad , Eric Bain, Bobby Ducote, Etc these are 4 sec cars im sure but way outgunned otherwise...

I'm sure they get compensated in some way to be on the show. Some may say otherwise, but a lot of these guys already get paid for track appearances all over the states. I have a tough time believing some of these guys actually think they can win and would go all over for nothing.

Lutz also had a problem of borrowing parts from other racers and not returning parts. Larry is a class guy and lutz is in a class all by himself.

Karma....for what you hear about Lutz...look at all the times he has wrecked that car..KARMA it always comes back to you

I actually know how this works. There are some guys getting paid show-up money. It's $4,000 and up depending on character popularity. The also-rans get nada. They do it for vanity and TV exposure.

No prep ? Yeah right ! ... you like Matlock ? ... I’ll take some 2 1/2 men or Seinfeld DVDs !

Ole Chuck ? .., how did he ever beat out the Beefy Chief ?

Hmmm was married with kids... lets hear it like we did about Big Chief

Chuck seems like he is generally an idiot anyway....not so suprized.

Chuck and Elisa ended in a crash. Don't know the details but I heard it was a bad finish.
