Concept
car we're racing
They’re saying one of the cars is for racing, so it has to be finished fast. Racing builds usually focus on making it safe and reliable enough to run.
Term
Charge the AC
Charging the AC means adding the refrigerant so the air conditioner can cool again. If it keeps going low, there may be a leak that needs fixing.
Term
Align it
Alignment is adjusting the wheels so they point in the right direction. It helps the car drive straight and prevents uneven tire wear.
Term
Align the front end
This means adjusting the front wheels so they’re set correctly. If the front end is off, the car can feel weird and tires can wear out faster.
Company
Quick Performance
“Quick Performance” is the company sponsoring the episode. It sounds like a performance-related business, but the details of what they sell or build aren’t explained in this snippet.
Term
rear end
“Rear end” is the part of the car that sends power to the back wheels. It includes the differential and the housing that holds it. If it’s worn out, people rebuild it or replace it.
Concept
car count
“Car count” just means how many cars showed up for the event. If fewer cars come, it can feel less exciting and the competition might be thinner.
Concept
test pass
A test pass is basically a practice run. It’s how the team checks that the car is working right before they commit to the real race.
Concept
cut it off early
Cutting it off early means the driver stopped the run sooner than planned. That’s often done to avoid breaking something or because something didn’t feel right.
Term
smoke the tires
“Smoke the tires” means the tires are spinning instead of gripping. That usually happens when there isn’t enough traction for the power you’re putting down.
Term
fuel pump problems
The fuel pump’s job is to deliver gas to the engine. If it can’t keep up, the engine may run lean and start acting up or even get damaged.
Term
tuned
A tune is how the car’s computer is set up to run the engine. With methanol, the settings have to be changed so it burns correctly.
Term
methanol
Methanol is a racing fuel. It helps the engine run cooler and tolerate more boost, so you can push harder without it knocking.
Part
intercooler
An intercooler is a radiator for the hot, pressurized air from a turbo/supercharger. It helps the engine make more power safely, but it can be heavy and take up space—so sometimes people remove or relocate it for weight or fitment.
Term
AC
AC means the car’s air conditioning system. Some performance builds delete it to save weight, especially for racing where comfort matters less than speed.
Part
carbon
Carbon fiber is a very light but strong material used for performance car parts. Using it can help the car lose weight and feel faster.
Part
fiberglass
Fiberglass is a lightweight material used for some car parts like body panels. People use it to save weight and make the car feel quicker.
Term
mile an hour
“Miles per hour” here means trap speed—how fast the car is going when it crosses the finish line in a drag race. It’s one of the key numbers alongside ET.
Term
bearings
Bearings are small parts that help rotating parts spin smoothly. They’re saying the whole assembly has to be taken apart far enough to remove and replace those parts.
Term
motor
“Motor” means the engine. They’re saying it’s been started before and is in good shape, and they’re swapping it around to figure out what needs fixing.
Concept
weight limits
Weight limits are part of the racing rules that control how heavy (or light) a car is allowed to be. They’re there so one team can’t get an unfair advantage just by building around the rules.
Company
Pro Charger
ProCharger is a company that makes superchargers—devices that force more air into the engine. More air usually means more power, especially when you’re racing.
Concept
pro mod
“Pro mod” is a drag racing category for heavily modified cars. Teams usually care a lot about getting good traction, because the track and tires can make a huge difference.
Term
throttle
The throttle is basically how much you’re asking the engine to do—usually through the gas pedal. If someone’s foot is on it in the pits, the car can lurch or move unexpectedly.
Term
nitromethane
Nitromethane is a special racing fuel people add to make more power. It’s also dangerous because it can ignite or explode if it’s handled or mixed wrong.
Concept
NHRA
NHRA is a big organization that runs drag racing events in the U.S. If a track is hosting an NHRA event, it’s usually a more official, higher-level race with tighter rules.
Concept
IHRA
IHRA is another organization that puts on drag racing events. The speaker is basically asking if the track moved to IHRA, but then says it’s actually NHRA this year.
Concept
Track conditions were bad
Drag racing depends a lot on how the track is behaving that day. If it’s cold or not gripping well, cars can struggle to launch and the results can get weird.
Concept
four wide
“Four wide” means four cars race at the same time, side-by-side. It’s a special track setup that lets multiple lanes run together.
Concept
race sponsorship
A race sponsor is a company that pays to be associated with an event. They usually get their name seen by attendees and promoted by the organizers.
Concept
race turnout
“Turnout” refers to how many people show up for the event. In motorsports, higher turnout often means more visibility for sponsors and a bigger, more competitive atmosphere.
LIVE
Okay, if you text me back, Peter, we don't have to stop what we're doing, but yeah.
I feel very, go ahead and finish that part, but I feel special or something.
This must be last week's notes.
This must be the last week's notes and they're in front of me like I got something going
on over here.
Yeah.
So.
Okay, so episode nine, more on Nation Unfiltered every Tuesday like clockwork.
You can guarantee this is coming out on Tuesday.
Today is April 1st, Wednesday.
We got some new chairs in case you didn't notice.
No, I did.
They're very comfortable.
Yes.
Rob Sims, he's a fan of the show.
He heard us complaining enough about our junkie chairs.
We sent chairs with armrests and massagers.
I mean, I'm not.
I'm not.
Yeah, you're not like that.
So that's that's a step in the right direction.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
I mean, they're pretty cool.
I got to figure it out.
It's a it's a little high.
Everybody knows my, you know, oh yeah, no, I know, but that's what I'm saying.
I don't.
I haven't figured this one all the way out the first time I said it, mine just did that
and then I had to hit something to stop it and.
Oh, man.
So anyways, we got chairs.
It's episode nine.
We didn't miss one single week of the podcast.
Speaking of podcast, this week's episode is brought to you by you.
Are you comfortable still trying to figure everything out?
Episode nine.
There's got to be another.
How did how did you learn that it's back and it's real low?
Like my arms are barely long enough to reach it.
So you should be fine.
Oh.
Yeah, I like to sit straight up.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, no, this isn't bad.
Yeah.
So my phone is just steady going off over here.
I hear it.
Like it's here.
We just got home guys.
Just unbelievable.
We just get home and then we've got a million things to do.
Well, we've got like five cars to build.
I know.
And we don't have any time to build them.
Yeah.
So like.
Fifty five needs work and like it's got to get done
because that's a car we're racing.
Aiden's Blazer, Aiden Chevelle, how many other vehicles you got?
No Chevelle's on four.
Yeah, three or four years.
Oh, God.
I know who hear about it.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying I'm not working.
Yeah.
So I'm rebuilding shop truck again.
The don't need some work.
Both of them do.
Yeah.
So I.
We think that the F-150 may have sold.
I mean, I don't have no money.
But they say that it has sold.
A lot of people say it.
The dude put like three quarter down.
Oh, that's that's as good as sold.
That's what I'm saying.
And then non-refundable and then finance the rest.
Yeah.
So I guess they're going through the finance the rest situation.
Oh, yeah.
So I don't know it regardless.
It's going to sell.
And then once that sells, we've got to.
We got to tune the Green Donk.
Oh, God.
I forgot it.
Clean the green.
All three donks need work.
Yes.
Clean the the Green Donk.
Charge the AC.
Align it.
Align the front end.
Put the stereo system back in it.
And then sell it.
Get it on out of here.
And then there's a rumor.
Fire don't.
It's going away.
Somebody offered to buy the Fire Donk.
We threw out a number.
They said yes.
And we thought we would never hear back from them.
I've heard from him more than anyone in the last three days.
I haven't even talked to Mallory as much as I've talked to that dude.
It turns out the dude's serious.
Turns out the guy's serious.
But if he's going to buy it for the number
that I threw out there, OK.
It's got to get going.
Come get it.
Yeah.
No, man, it's a cool car, but it's just another one
that we just don't have time for.
Like, hopefully, you know, if this guy's serious,
he puts it to the use that it was built for.
Yeah.
So moving forward, episode nine of Moral Nation Unfiltered
is brought to you by Quick Performance.
Now, they're just some of my favorite people that we deal with.
Absolutely.
Barnon.
Quick Performance for all your rearing needs.
I mean, we use all of them.
They do it all for you.
They do.
They do.
Man, we have their stuff in everything.
I mean, every one of our street cars has their rear end.
OG has one of their rear ends.
We use their like they build all of our center sections
from 300 horsepower daily drivers all the way up
to our 5000 horsepower promo.
All the way to blue.
And.
Or blow, whatever.
Blow?
Yeah.
Well, I'm just I'm tired.
Yeah.
No, it's been a long couple of weeks.
But man, they do everything.
They can build you a custom housing.
They can they've got several bolt-in options
for just about any vehicle that that you may have.
And they're just awesome to deal with, man.
Briden, Ashton, Max, Jay, Mama Quick.
You know, Erin, she she's cool to deal with.
Yeah, they're just great people.
So if you're needing anything done for your car in the back,
you know what I mean?
If you need a new rear end, you need need some upgraded axles.
Need your center section rebuilt.
Give quick performance a call.
They'll get you fixed up.
I think quick performance is kind of a household name.
And it's pretty crazy to think.
I don't even know how I found on the first time
I bought a rear end.
I remember what you told me.
You've seen their ad in a magazine.
I believe it.
Or a national dragster or something.
No, I was a magazine monkey.
You know, the first one you got was for the 55, right?
Or was it's transient?
No, the first one I got was for the 55.
And they they still have it.
So they just replaced whenever DMC rebuilt this car,
they took the original housing out of that thing
that you had put in it in 09 or 10 years ago.
And and they've got it up on their shelf kind of as a.
It was nice and simple.
Yeah, like 35 splines, spool, back brace, in it.
So yeah, cool stuff, man.
We use them for everything from mild to wild.
So great people give them a shout.
Thank you guys.
Yeah, so the man, I feel like there's a lot like
it's not that we're going to rush through this episode,
but there's a lot to talk about.
I feel like
I guess we can start off by seeing the first
Atlas in a race like for the most part went off without a hitch.
And it was it was fine.
We we knew that we would have a lot to learn and we do.
It wasn't the amount of people there that I wanted.
There wasn't the amount of cars there that I wanted, but.
It was still fine.
The the fans that were there were quality fans.
They were they were all fans of ours.
They were all race fans.
Yep.
And they all genuinely seem to have a good time,
which is important.
Like you can get a ton of people through the gate.
If nobody's having fun, it's not going to happen again.
Exactly.
So the people that were there seemed to have had a great time
just from the little bit of feedback that I've seen across
the pages on Facebook and then talking to everyone there.
They all thought it was pretty cool.
I do believe that a lot of the reason that the car count wasn't
where we wanted it to be was because there are five other races.
So many other races that was for those kind of cars.
Yes.
Well, and two of the races were huge.
One of them was digger die and not too far away.
And then there was another one that was street car takeover.
Street car takeover.
It was huge.
Yeah.
Huge.
It's always huge.
So, but from what I understand, the car count was down at street
car takeover also.
Really?
See, I've seen the opposite.
They they I've seen them talk about.
There was like 20 cars.
Oh, in like just in that one class.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I believe that 20 cars would have been nice for us.
Yes, it would have.
But yeah, but then there was another race, like what, three
hour, two and a half, three hours from us.
One Montgomery in Montgomery, which was two hours.
I don't even think it's two hours.
Yeah.
And then there was another race, another hour from there.
So there was a handful of races really close.
Man, it's tough because there's there's big money, small tire races.
Every you can you can stand in one and throw a rock at the other one.
You know what I mean?
So it's a good time to be a racer.
If you're looking for money.
Yeah.
It's it's kind of a hard time for being a promoter, especially a new promoter.
That's the way it's going to be.
So I got to take this.
OK.
There's that many races.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know it's a little different.
It's going to take us a little bit of time to get used to it.
Like we said, there was a lot of races.
I'm not going to get upset about it just because the first race didn't have
what we thought it should have.
Yeah.
I mean, you can, of course.
I don't think you should.
Because at the end of the day, people had a good time.
People are talking about it online.
One thing I see that that people were upset about was the live feed sucked.
Well, it was a free live feed on Wills.
Internet sucked.
Everyone's internet sucked.
Like our internet sucked at the totter.
You know what I mean?
What much you can do about that?
Yeah.
I mean, it was free.
He was there on his own dime.
Like be, be thankful.
You got what you got, I guess.
But yeah, um, what about up?
Is he not live at all?
No, he, uh, I think he's focused on on making more long form videos
kind of like we do.
Okay.
So, um, let's see.
That said, if you have a 2810 five car and you would like to a
chance to win $20,000, um, our next race is in Brainerd,
Georgia, right by Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Yeah.
Congrats to Scott on winning that.
Scott's car looked good too.
Man, he, uh, I feel like there were more cars there Friday night.
And then they seen his test pass and they were like, they're 100% was
more cars there Friday night.
Yeah.
And then they just, I don't know, man, something happened.
They didn't get in the race.
Yup.
Scott out there made one test pass off the trailer and cut it off early.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh man.
I still can't believe when we got to the finals, those guys were willing
to bet like they were.
Yeah.
No, I made a lot of money on Scott on that last pass.
So, and it was coming around.
It was, I don't care what they say they kept telling me, you know, this is a
slick track prep.
No, it wasn't.
It was, it was not.
It may not have been.
It wasn't South Georgia or something like that.
But man, I'm telling you, that was not slick prep.
No, far from it.
Yeah.
So, yeah, no, the, the car that he raced in the finals, that car's fast.
Yeah.
Um, but they had to shoot for it.
And I told them that, look, I, you guys did exactly what y'all had to do.
You had to shoot for it.
It didn't take it.
Yup.
Smoke the tires.
Like how else are you going to run, Scott?
You can't turn it down.
Better be all out.
You can't turn it down and outrun Scott.
So that's just part of it.
But, uh, as far as me being in the 530 class, I was upset all weekend, even though
I said I wasn't going to get upset.
The car didn't run worth a damn.
Uh, the belt came off every pass except the last one.
And that was because it had like a little sliver.
I bet it had what, four ribs of the 10 rib.
Fourth, four at the most.
It, yes.
And so we had voltage problems.
We had fuel pump problems.
We had, no, it was a lot, lots, lots of problems.
So we're going to put that car on a diet.
Um, I haven't turned the air conditioner on in that car in two years.
It doesn't need it.
It doesn't need the intercooler.
It doesn't need to be on the 85.
It needs to be tuned on methanol and then it'll be all steel, all glass car.
And we'll go from there.
Yeah.
I mean, you pull.
Two, three, 400 pounds off that car, put it on methanol.
And I mean, honestly, man, that's a four 70 ride.
We'll be able to run five thirties on 20 pounds of boost.
Yeah.
And then we'll call it good.
We'll be on less than that.
Yeah.
And then, and then we'll call it good.
Uh, the car went 540 pretty much all weekend, even though it was cutting out
and wasn't happy.
And then I don't know what happened.
Uh, I went to hit the brakes on the first full pass that I made.
Man, you scared everybody.
I don't.
Yeah.
I don't, it was pretty crazy.
I, maybe I've never, maybe I've never hit the brakes hard in that car before,
but the first pump, it went along great in that car.
Man, they're not.
And plus, plus it's pretty heavy.
So then I pumped them twice and whenever I did, I think they just locked up.
Hey, and I'm just hitting the brakes and I'm trying to stop it.
And I think that they were just locked up and I, and I couldn't really tell.
It's almost like the backs aren't really doing nothing.
Yeah.
It was just the front.
And so then all of a sudden the car starts pulling towards the, towards the wall.
You go, what?
So I start turning the wheel and I get about right here and I'm going, huh.
And so then I let off the brakes and that's when the car jerked way over.
And I was like, oh my God, they were locked up.
Hey, and it 100% we can't race that car with them tires anymore.
It 100% ground down and, and, uh, I didn't drive.
Now I was like, I didn't look at it.
It drives like that before.
I didn't look at it that well, but Ben said that they are down to the cords.
Oh man.
Yeah.
You just kept going.
That's why I didn't look at them.
Oh, okay.
I just went.
If you don't see it, that's right.
That's right.
So I just, yeah, I made three or four passes after that, but, uh, I was just mad
in the car knowing whenever it cuts out like that, I should lift.
I didn't.
Yeah.
Uh, but the final pass is slowed down to a 580.
So it was.
And then you were all out too.
Yeah.
And it was very unhappy on the last pass.
So yeah, like we, we, we turned it up out of the hole.
It just slowed down from time you let go of the button to everything did.
It didn't pick the front end up like it did every other pass, but I also drop
a dot in that car.
And I'm sure that it was on the traction control as soon as I hit.
It never hit any trash control.
That's like, it's none zero.
I'm sure that the pass before that, the transmission fluid was probably
pretty hot.
Yeah.
So we probably need to change that for sure.
Yeah.
But, uh, Ricky didn't try to, but I drew Ricky and unfortunately.
Part of spool worth it.
It doesn't spool very good anyways.
And then he went to bump in and whenever he did, the car died.
Well, I didn't know.
Yeah.
I'm just waiting on him to go in over there.
Yeah.
So we were on it for a while.
Yep.
And then you got on it again.
Then I got on it again and made a pass.
You know, so, yeah.
So, so the guy that won the 530 class also won a 650 class and was also the driver
in the final round of the small tire class.
Can you imagine if he'd have won three classes?
Yeah, which we knew he wasn't.
He was talking about, he was going to triple up.
Yeah.
Oh, uh, that was a beautiful Nova though.
The blue one, the blue one, that's a lot of 530 car.
That is a lot of 16.
I mean, from the way it sits, I'd say it's probably a full tube chassis.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
That's that thing.
It's right.
It is sick.
And I get it, man.
There's lots of 460, 470 cars now that can't compete in small tire.
Yeah.
So they have moved.
And not to mention, why would they want to run any other class whenever 20,
all right, a little gangster pays so much.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter where you're at, man.
You're not going to find a little gangster that pays under, you know,
530 class, whatever you want to call it, little gangster.
Yeah, same thing.
Um, that pays under five grand to win.
So it's a good payday to slow your car down.
Yeah.
Like those guys that can run 460, 470 or hell, even 420, 430, they just
don't have to beat on them at the entry.
The entry is lower for them.
The payout is still competitive.
Like, yep.
And it's just fun.
Well, I have a good time doing it.
Yeah.
So, yeah, so that's what we got to do.
We have to just get some weight off the car.
I mean, the hood on the 55 weighs 80 pounds, probably.
It is so heavy.
So, and now if I take that intercooler off, we won't need to cut a hole in it.
So I got to get a different hood for it.
And then the intercooler, all the water, the AC, all that stuff is going to take
way too long to.
Those one inch lines are heavy that run front to back.
Yeah.
The icebox is probably 40, 50 pounds when it's full.
Yep.
So, I mean, honestly, 200 pounds is probably doable.
I did scale it this morning.
Did you?
Yeah, before you got here.
And it's, man, it's lighter than what I thought it was.
What is it?
Well, without me in it, it's 3618.
Okay.
So it's 3840 with me in it.
That's why the numbers look so, but so similar to shop truck.
Because they're literally the same vehicle.
Yeah.
So, I really thought that it was closer to 4000.
I did too.
I thought we scaled it at one time and it was maybe not.
I still got that 100 pound bar on the back of it too.
It's actually 80 something.
So, but it was without me in it, it's 50 and some change on the rear.
49 and some change in the front.
Nice.
So, it's already works so good.
It's already, you know, yeah, front end light.
I say that it's weird.
You pull the hood off and there's just turbos and pipes and it is very
everything everywhere.
There's pulleys and brackets and so think about.
Think about taking the hood off.
There's a lot.
You got the condenser up front, which isn't a whole lot.
But then you got all the accessory drive with the compressor.
You know that compressor is 30 pounds.
It's heavy.
Then you got the intercooler that's actually sitting right on top of the
engine that's full of water, probably weighs 20.
Probably 20 pounds full.
20 pounds.
And then you've got the nine gallon tank in the trunk that usually has seven or
so gallons in it.
That's 50 pounds right there.
And then you've got the one inch lines that run the 18 foot length of the car.
I bet there's a gallon, maybe more in those lines.
So there's another 10 pounds.
There's another 10, 12 pounds.
There's definitely a lot that can be taken off that car with a lot of work.
If it's around 200 pounds, I'm going to be happy.
The car's going to be fast.
If that car weighs anywhere close to 3600 with me in it, I'm going to be happy.
Yeah, that'll be cool.
3600 and honestly, even though it's already 50, 50 ish, a lot of that weight is
going to be off the front.
Yes.
So which reminds me, I have to call my guy Armando at VFN, which is where I
get all of my, all of my fiberglass and all of my carbon.
Yeah, even on the down low, even though you got to keep that on the down low.
He doesn't really do carbon for people, but he does carbon for us.
Yes.
And it's very lightweight.
Yes.
Let's see.
What else is going on?
Okay.
So there was drama everywhere this weekend.
Um, so PDRA had their first race to say, I don't remember any drama.
What, I must have missed it.
Well, yes, you're talking about other races.
Yes.
So, so, well, there's drama after the PDRA, RA race.
So, uh, PDRA's first race at Darlington, I think it was Darlington.
Uh, they had their first race, records filled there.
Randy Weatherford, uh, set the pro boost record with a 354 with a two.
And then, uh, he had it for like 24 hours and then Brandon's guy, John
Kent came in, went a 354, one or something.
Well, as amazing as that is, it's cool, right?
Like as a pro charge car too, not the other centrifugal, it was a pro
charge car, mile an hour.
And, uh, ET record fell with a pro charge car, uh, and a turbo 400, not a five speed.
So now all the screw guys are big mad.
Well, yeah, all that is going to happen is the pro chargers are just going
to steady keep on getting weight.
Yes.
So, so now like their deal is the problem with that is they know some of
those cars are already heavy.
So adding weight, they know, isn't going to do a whole lot.
So they're wanting more overdrive on their screw.
And they're just mad because screws haven't changed since 1983 and pro
chargers and, and hearts are constantly being updated.
And it's, it's just not fair.
They update them.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Like if this thing's been around for so long, why hasn't it been updated?
Like update them.
And I don't, you don't need to.
You just need to spin it a little bit faster.
Yeah.
And I'm with them.
I don't, I don't have some more overdrive.
I don't have some more overdrive.
But what are you going to do with the other combinations that are just
steady, get left.
Nitrous and turbo.
I don't know what you do for them.
Like, because they can't get any lighter.
Like they're, they already have almost an unrealistic minimum weight.
So, so what do you think about what is it going to take?
Let's just, let's just brainstorm for a minute.
And, and I'm not an advocate for taking away sunburn up there.
Dude, it's horrible.
Look, look right here.
Man, you got a nice line there.
I play about halfway through the day.
I had to do this because my head was frying.
So, man.
Um, so what size centrifugal do we have to have to make those guys with their
overdrive that they have now happy?
A 136.
Well, well, here's the problem with that because pro charger has such an
amazing design team and hearts has such an amazing design team.
You know, as well as I do the 136 that they raced with us in MPK was the same
as our 140 and then they got a hundred pound weight break or something.
You know what I mean?
So I don't even know that you can do that unless you the problem and I can't
say the problem is tech because tech does an amazing job of taking stuff.
But at what point I don't know that size is it.
I think you just got to give the screw guys more overdrive.
Yeah, but then that leaves all the other combinations behind further.
The nitrous in the, yeah.
Oh, Cassie, what you're saying?
So, so the problem is parody and rules.
And right now there is no parody.
Yeah.
I'm going to be honest with you, even though I'm on the side that has the advantage.
We're winning.
We, yes, yes.
And I'm good with that.
But as a racer, I don't want to see combinations not be able to keep up.
And that is unbelievable that I'm even saying that like I want to slap myself for
even saying that because I am not a screw guy and the screws make way more
power than centrifugal.
Well, what's crazy is ever since we swap to centrifugal, we've been told
screws are going to run us over.
Oh, every year.
Every year.
I mean, you guys may as well stay at home.
You can't compete.
And then we went to what's happening in small tire right now for the record.
Yeah, for sure.
Um, so, so what's going on?
What's the problem with the screws?
Is it just because Steve Petty and Brandon don't really have any screwcars that
they're tuning?
Is that the only reason that screws aren't winning?
Like what, what, what's the problem?
But yeah, and I'm not going to say anything else either about what is Brandon
doing different than everybody else because Brandon.
Brandon is bad motherfucker.
That's what he's doing.
He's the best.
He's the best.
I don't like hands down.
We've got to get him on here.
He's the best.
Yeah.
What is he doing?
Did no one he's won.
He's out 60 foot in everyone.
Do you know Jason Harris went eight 80 something this week to the 60 foot?
I know.
Eight 80 something.
I think it was an 87.
I know.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
So it just makes me can't wait to get back in blue and get it lined out
because it's not lined out.
It's not.
We're going to go into the first race without blue being lined out and that
kind of sucks.
Well, we went into the first race without it being lined out last time when we
won because Brandon was there to line it out.
Yes, but it's going to be a lot faster cars.
I think there is.
There's going to be there is plain and simple.
I mean, Ryan's going to be there.
Yeah.
There's going to be a lot of cars that did fairly well at winter series.
And and and it's because of winter series.
That's that's the whole reason and competition breeds competition.
And there's a lot of people that went down and I'll just use Jacob McNeill as an
example.
He went down, did fairly well last season because he made all the races or
whatever at Midwest and he got some old shot wins.
He's very got a couple of old shot wins, you know, and he's very good at cutting
the light.
Yep.
Uh, but he went down there, got slapped around and realized real quick, he can't
run with them cars like he told us that.
Yeah.
He said, I can't run with you guys.
We already knew that.
Yeah.
But that's hard, man.
That's a tough, tough, tough to accept.
Yeah.
And what did he do though?
He didn't cry about it.
He didn't bitch.
He went to complain about it.
They went to work and they they up their program.
So now he's going to come in.
Did you see the new car?
Yeah, they bought Keith Gulsby's car.
So that was already pretty fast.
Yeah.
So anyways, he's stepped up his program.
The dude's already one of the best on the property of cutting lights.
So give him a good program and what's going to happen.
You know what I mean?
So there's just going to be and that's just the I'm sure that there's more.
It's just an example, but that's just an example off the top of my head.
You know, uh, it's, it's gonna, it's not going to be a cake walk this year.
It's not with that being said, I still want to win the championship.
Yes.
I mean, that's a given.
But, uh, Ryan with an eye is going to run the deal the whole time.
He's good too.
You know, uh, but that's okay.
I want to race those guys.
Well, that's going to better prepare us for winter series and that is our,
our goal is to win a winter series.
Yeah.
I mean, it really is at the end of the day.
Like that's, that's got to be everybody's goal.
And if it's not, what are y'all doing?
Yeah.
I mean, aside from NHRA pro mod winter series is, is it, you know what I mean?
Like I'm a little excited about the NHRA, but it's also because we have been
putting together the car.
Yeah, exactly.
So now that I'm working on the car, I'm getting more excited about it.
You know, same.
I was just saying that to myself yesterday because we got a lot of stuff
buttoned up yesterday on the Nova and it looks like a car, man.
Put the wing back on, put the parachutes back on, put the wheelie bars back on.
Uh, the whole, the whole, like the tires, the, the motor is
together, the pro chargers on it.
Like we got the big pro charger on there.
We got the nitrous express back on there.
We weren't a hundred percent sure guys that we were going to get the
big pro charger on there, uh, before the first race.
We just knew that we needed to.
Yeah.
So.
Monkey came over here and yaw, yawed some stuff.
Cut some stuff off and well, you can't drain it after every round.
But we'll figure that out later.
Yeah.
No, that's gonna suck for Billy at this point.
It might be easier just to pull the head unit off.
It's four bolts.
I mean, if that's what we got to do, that's what we'll do.
I mean, he'll get it figured out, you know, but still it sucks.
Oh man.
Cause I looked underneath there and I went, oh man.
I mean, even like once we got that on, it's funny.
You left the shop the other night and monkey, me and monkey stayed here and
worked a little bit longer and, uh, it was like, he said, well, Phantom didn't
see that plug under there.
Did he?
And he, and I was like, I don't know.
If so, he didn't really notice.
He goes, just think whenever he puts that primer pump back under there, there
ain't gonna be no getting to that.
Like we already knew, you know, yep.
So yeah, the primer pump was the easiest part that moved right out of the way.
So whatever, we'll do whatever it takes, but, uh, we fixed a few things that
were, were wrong with the back.
And I'm really hoping that that, uh, oil situation is cleared up now.
Cause that was a mess.
That thing's been leaking for a while.
Oh, the axle seal on the back.
Yeah.
No, that, that was always putting those on a floater, guys.
It's, it ain't the easiest thing.
It's, it's all got to come apart.
All the bearings have to come out.
It's just like the same thing on the front of a, it's a, it's a lot of, uh,
moving parts.
Yeah.
So hopefully that's all good.
Um, other than that, we need to put the drive shaft in it, put the back wheels
on it, put the back in there again.
Yes.
Uh, but yeah, no, it's, it's pretty close.
So the motor that's in, it's already been fired.
Like it's fresh.
It was in the OG.
We pulled it out.
We actually put it in the Nova before we left for Florida.
So we could try to put it together and figure out what wasn't going to work.
And it turns out that's everything.
So we fixed most of that before we left.
We probably need to put that back in the OG.
But we're going to wait and see if we get blues motor.
Uh, Proline is working on a blues motor now.
And if they get that done in time, which next week, right?
Or is it the following week?
The following week.
It is, it is the following week that we got to have that done.
And then we got to get it from Atlanta, bring it here.
We'll have a couple of days to put it in blue and then head down to, to race
the first Midwest race.
Yes.
XRP, uh, the 17th and 18th, I think.
So, um, our upcoming schedule.
So our first pro-mod race, uh, the Midwest series is April 17th.
And then we go straight from there to Charlotte for our first NHRA race.
And then from Charlotte, we go down to Brainerd for the next, uh,
outlaw syndicate race.
So starting the 17th of April, actually the 16th of April, we're going
to be on the road for nine weeks in a row.
So we have a lot going.
Uh, we'll have a schedule up obviously on our Facebook pages.
I'll let y'all know where we're going to be, but.
So, um, our schedule is pretty full up, uh, coming up really soon, but we're
pretty close on everything besides blue.
Don't have a motor.
Um, yeah, but even, even if that's, that's, we can have that motor
put in that thing in two hours and on the chip.
Yeah.
Pretty easy for sure.
For sure.
So, um, rules, we talked about the rules, people are upset about the rules.
And, and I guess rightfully so, did you see Randy Wetherford's statement to him?
I seen him mild off to tie Teterot.
Uh, I mean, that wasn't directly at tie, tie, tie, tie Teterot.
Teterot did respond to him.
Was yes.
So it, whatever, uh, the screw guys are definitely being mad.
And I guess they have the right to be, but, uh, Steve Petty, I seen Steve
Petty commented on it and told him what he thought.
Really?
Yeah.
See, I didn't see any of that.
I haven't, I haven't actually been on the internet at all.
So I didn't, Aaron told me a little bit about what was going on, but that's about it.
So there's that.
And then, um, some stuff went down to XRP this weekend.
Uh, I don't think you know about that either.
I was kind of explaining it to you yesterday.
Um, I saw Swanson went through the scales and didn't see anything about that,
which I, there's always something with Swanson.
So whatever, why would you weigh it?
Well, because they have weight limits for the promods.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
Yeah.
I don't know that.
So I mean, if you pass the scales, you're out.
That's the way they let him, why did they let him run again?
I'm sure, I'm sure we all know the answer.
Uh, I don't know.
I, I, nothing I seen had anything to do with Swanson.
There's always something with Swanson one way or the other.
Um, but yeah, I did finally go look for that.
And I didn't understand why they let him back in.
Then I also didn't understand how he lost the round where his guy crashed.
Oh, I don't see.
I don't know anything about that.
Who crashed Bailey?
Bailey crashed.
He did.
Which one?
The, uh, the purple car, the promod.
Okay.
So which car is actually Bailey's?
Is it?
They're all Bailey's.
Okay.
The, the Mustang, the promod.
Yeah.
So why was he, uh, okay.
So he built a pro mod, didn't necessarily do very well with it.
Right.
And then he put that on radials.
Yes.
I felt like his radio Mustang, he was doing pretty well with it.
Yes.
I mean, I don't, I don't have the answer for you on that, but yes, that's,
that's what happened.
Didn't they first built that car had dirtbows on it?
Right.
They went out one time with it or something.
And then after that, they put what's on it.
There's a hearts on it.
Uh-huh.
Um, and then it got radials after that race.
So yeah, they raced in the semifinals and Bailey's windlight came on, but then
he, he crashed after the finish line.
He pulled the shoots late or something and then go on the brakes hard or something.
I don't know.
Uh, hit both walls, everything, well, everything, everything seems to be fine.
Like they already got the car tore apart.
It's getting fixed, et cetera.
But his windlight came on and then swanston raced Manny in the finals.
And I didn't, I didn't understand that.
And I still haven't really found the answer on that.
Um, I don't know.
I didn't, I didn't get that.
Maybe they just didn't want Manny to make a solo.
Maybe they already, I don't, I don't know.
I don't know what happened, why it happened or how it happened.
I mean, I saw a post from Justin and it just said, I mean, literally it didn't
look like any complaining.
No bitching.
He said, we got outran.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, that's usually what happens.
Yeah, not, not him usually getting outran.
I'm saying, no, they went a lot on two 75s.
They do win a lot on two 75s.
They went a lot in small tire stuff.
Uh, but that's, that is the response that you should have when you get outran.
I got outran.
We got outran, you know, like you could throw it.
Even the winner could throw out a bunch of excuses why he didn't go faster.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So there's no sense in saying, I didn't win because of this and I didn't win
because of this and I didn't win because of this.
Cause there's always those excuses, whether you win or you lose for sure.
I could come up with 10 different excuses on why the car didn't go.
It was the slowest pass of the weekend.
We still won.
Yep.
You know what I mean?
Like that's just part of it, man.
There's, there's too much crying and bitching and, and everything in, in racing.
There he is.
We've said it a million times, man, a hundred things got to go right.
One thing could go wrong.
Yeah, it only takes one thing to go wrong to ruin a weekend, but a hundred,
a hundred things got to go right for the weekend to go the way you want it.
Yep.
Um, look, man, the 55 ran terrible all weekend, all week, I won two rounds.
So you did, you know, whatever you did.
So I guess, and these are all just allegations.
I wasn't there.
I don't have concrete proof, but somebody got slapped around
after the race or during the race or something.
And supposedly it was because they were talking about how shitty they thought
the track was and it's always bad and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And someone didn't like that.
So they slapped the other someone around.
And, uh, you know, like not that I don't, I'm not, um, I'm not on any either,
either person side.
Yeah, we've got no dog in the fight.
Yeah.
However, I, how can you, first off, they're at XRP.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm assuming Clyde had something to do with this whole deal.
How can you say that track's not any good though?
I've never been there when the track isn't just gangster.
That track, so you smoke the tires trying to go way faster than your car
or your suspension would allow.
So then you blame it on the track.
Yeah.
I mean, how fast do you think many went in the finals?
Oh, I don't, I don't know, man, but it was fast.
I'll bet you, I'll bet you it was, I, however fast a 146 pro charger with
about a thousand worth of nitrous, yeah, no, it went in the fifties.
There's no doubt about it.
Yeah.
So all like my belief is if more people got slapped around for talking reckless,
yeah, I think the world would try to write it.
I wouldn't be upset about somebody getting slapped around.
There's consequences in the real world.
There should be.
That dude should have ran home.
I don't even know who got slapped around, but he should have ran home and said
all that shit on the internet.
Yeah.
And then there's no, and then there's no, yeah, and that's the problem.
That's what usually happens.
I know.
Hey, hey, give it to the guy for saying it in person.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like sometimes you get slapped around.
That's part of it.
Yeah.
But you know, sometimes you get to melding around and you think there's not going
to be any consequences and you run across the one dude that there's consequences with.
Yeah.
And no matter his position, he's about that life.
So, you know, sometimes you get what you got.
Yeah.
And I think, I think more of that should happen.
If, if, if that, if that actually happened, I don't know.
These are all allegations.
I wasn't there.
I didn't see it.
Yeah.
So there's definitely plenty of people that have opinions and sometimes you
got to stand, stand up for those opinions.
Yep.
And then you got to, you got to accept whatever consequence comes with your opinion.
That's right.
Because sometimes there's going to be.
Stand by it, man.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, if that dude got beat up for saying that the track was shitty,
he should still continue.
Even after he got beat up, say, doesn't change the fact, man, the track still sucks.
You know, like, hey, man, your track still sucks.
Hey, man, look, you beat me up, doesn't change the fact that that track sucks.
And, and I don't, I don't know who actually does their, their prepping for
radial stuff, but Galen has that track.
I think it's Galen point, whatever it's pro mod stuff.
Yeah, I mean, he's an old pro mod racer.
I don't know that he actually does the, the radial.
I don't either, but I don't like, you never hear of anyone going in there and
doing it for him.
You never hear of anybody complaining about the track either.
No, no, you don't.
So I don't know.
It was, it was a, it was a weird, weird situation.
I, like, I don't know.
I think more of it should happen.
Yeah.
If you, if you're talking reckless, you, you, uh.
So let's, let's, is there anything else you want to talk about on that at XRP?
There's, there's more drama that happened at XRP, at digger die.
I saw, that's, that's where we're going.
That's where we're going.
I forgot all about that.
That's where we're going right now.
Crap.
So at digger die and Dave, Dave was there.
I talked to Dave about it.
Dave didn't really know anything, anything about it.
He just said he heard it.
Yeah.
You know, I bet y'all did over in the pet in the pits, uh, dudes,
throttle got home in the pits.
Cause his foot was on it.
Yeah.
That's how my throttle ends open.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I don't know numerous people, including me, I've spilled cars up over in the pits,
all kinds of stuff.
Everybody does.
Everybody does that.
But they say that this dude was making a, he launched his car in the pit.
Is what they said.
Yeah.
And then he had said that his throttle home and he, what looked like a pretty good
F body, look like a pretty really, really nice car, uh, rails into a LS powered Mustang.
That's just the other way around.
I know.
So the Mustang was not the one that, that caused it, but I heard that they drugged
that old boy out of the car and went to beat naughty.
And then they took his truck and then they took his truck and then said, whenever you
give us, I heard 40,000, you can have your stuff back.
Uh, I bet you if the cops got involved, they can't do that.
Yeah, but there's some limitations on that.
I bet you before the law got there, that dude got what, you know, they felt like he deserved.
I don't know that that should have happened.
I heard that that guy got out of the car and offered to pay for everything to begin with.
It's, so if they probably would have let him explain before they went to beating on him,
but you don't know that situation until you've been in it.
I don't know what we would do.
I mean, think about if the OG was sitting over there and somebody just totaled that deal.
Oh dude, it'd be a bad day for them.
I mean, I don't know what we would do.
Man.
I mean, depends on how he came out of that car, I would imagine.
Yeah, for sure.
I would assume that we would let him talk before we just started beating on him.
Yeah.
Maybe not back then.
And I don't know either party involved.
I don't know their name.
You could tell me their names right now.
I don't know.
I don't know either party involved, but I've read it a little bit on the internet and I
heard somebody say karma's a bitch.
So a lot of people didn't have things good to say about whoever got hit.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
No, they, I'd seen a lot of that too.
I saw a lot of that, but then I also saw somebody going around saying,
if you don't know about them, keep your name out of your mouth,
which it looked like he had said that to everybody who said.
Yeah.
And so I don't know.
Like I said, I don't know anything about it.
It sucks that some two cars got destroyed in the parking lot.
Yeah.
But racers are dumb and it's kind of, it's kind of our thing.
I mean, yes, but also like
there was probably a better place.
Oh, there's always a better place.
You could go anywhere and do that.
Yeah.
But like I said, we've all done that in the, in the parking lot.
I don't know that I've launched a car.
I've went out to the return road and launched cars before.
Yeah.
Which would have been better for sure.
I mean, which I get it, those guys are kind of parked on the return road for that race, but
there was still probably a better option for that.
But yeah, I know that was a bad deal.
And I read all that same stuff about how they got their money,
money's worth out of that guy just in case they weren't going to give any money.
Yeah.
I would like to know the situation on the truck.
Like, do they still have his truck?
Did the cops make him give it back?
I'm sure that the cops would make them give it back.
But I saw, I've just saw multiple pictures.
I saw a picture of a vehicle in front of his car and a picture of the crashed car just sitting there.
And then one in the back too, like to where he couldn't get it to load it up and leave.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe the dude's good for it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a tricky situation, man, because
what, what would the law be on that?
What if that dude said, Hey man, that sucks.
Just because just like if you're racing somebody and they, it's clearly you're not your fault
and they come over into your lane and bash into you.
Let's just say it's a back of the track deal that
is frowned upon in some people's eyes anyways.
Yeah.
Obviously, we know it's dangerous.
Obviously, we know the, the, the risks that are involved every time we get in them cars,
that the car next to you could come and just wipe you out.
Yes.
And honestly, they could get out and go, Hey man, my bad.
That sucks, bro.
Yep.
That sucks.
Yeah.
Now I got to fix my car.
You got to fix your truck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there's nothing that says that a racer that comes into your lane and bashes into you has
any kind of obligation to pay for your shit.
Yeah.
Hey, that sucks.
But like I said, that's part of it.
So in the parking lot of something like that, even if you did, let's just say you called the cops.
What are the cops going to do?
Yeah.
I mean, do you file an accident report?
I don't know.
Insurance is going to pay for that.
You don't think so?
I mean, there's, I saw some people saying if you have this insurance and a bunch of people said
the same name that they will, they cover for accidents and pits.
Really?
Yep.
But I would imagine none of those guys got that.
Yeah, probably not.
But I would imagine just a regular, you know, farm bureau or something like that is going to go,
you was racing that car?
Yeah.
Not at that point.
The car that we have on insurance here is an 89 Trans Am.
With a V6.
Yeah.
You race that, this is that car that you race?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't win a lot.
And then they are not going to cover that.
Yeah.
No, it's a...
So dude's got to have the money out of pocket because even if he did have insurance,
the insurance is going to give you the run around on something like that.
Yeah.
You ain't going to be racing the rest of the year if you're waiting on that check.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, that's a bad deal for all parties involved.
Like it sucks for the dude who was just kind of there and his car got totaled.
It sucks for the dude who got the beat down and lost his car.
Yeah.
But you know what doesn't suck?
That he didn't hit some innocent person walking by or there wasn't somebody standing by that guy's car
whenever he crashed into it.
Like it could have got bad real quick.
I've seen one guy say that if that car, if he hadn't hit that car,
he was just ahead of that in his truck with his whole family in it.
Like that would have been terrible.
Yeah.
You know, like...
Yeah.
And that's how easily it could happen.
Yeah.
Like it meant it's no different than somebody leaving a torch on a nitrous bottle and blowing it up in the pits or something like that.
Yeah.
Like there's so much dangerous shit that goes on in the pits.
You got people now trying to mix in nitromethane into their fuel.
They got no business.
They can't even mix...
They got zero business.
They're not scientists.
Yeah.
They can't even mix one of those hydration things in a water bottle correctly.
I know.
And you got them over there going, I got 10% nitro in this thing.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And just getting that out of the drum is dangerous.
Yes.
Because I mean, dude, it could literally compress and blow up in one of the hand crank pumps in the right situation.
Yeah.
You're not supposed to hand pump that.
Yeah.
You're supposed to have it.
Yeah.
Because anything kind of compression that's...
It doesn't need a ignite.
So...
It doesn't need a fire to ignite.
So that's one of the reasons like the fuel guys, they'll go over there and they'll roll the blower over just in case there is some nitro that has leaked out or something.
Because if they go to hit that starter button and there's some nitro in there, I mean, it's just an explosive bomb.
Yeah.
So...
Yeah.
I mean, that's why they have the draw ones come up, you know, and it goes down, scoops up, and then comes up and then runs out the spout.
It does not compress it at all.
Yep.
No nitro is scary.
It's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, it's cool for somebody that knows what they're doing with it, but that ain't us.
You know what surprises me the most about Digger Die, especially now is Rockingham is a...
Like, it's a real deal NHRA track.
Like, they're having pro series national event there this year.
Remember how Thunder Valley got in trouble back in the day for having the backwards track deal?
We couldn't race towards the starting line anymore.
Did Rockingham go to IHRA?
Oh, they did not.
They're having an NHRA event there this year.
That's right, because they lost Darlington or whatever.
Yeah, whatever it worked out.
Something called Virginia.
Yeah.
Maybe it was Virginia that they lost.
And so they picked up...
Rockingham.
Yes, Rockingham.
Yep.
Yeah.
It's pretty crazy.
I don't know.
You would think that they would go, whoa, y'all can't do that here.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I thought that was pretty wild.
But I don't know.
I didn't see...
I'll be honest.
I didn't see who won PDRA.
I didn't see who...
That they didn't.
They finished up.
They got the...
It was too cold.
Track conditions were bad.
Who's still left?
John Kamp.
I just remember John Kamp.
I think Ty Totoro.
I know John Kamp and Ty Totoro.
I can't remember if Randy Weatherford still entered or not.
But they got to the...
I think Randy doing some malven off on his interview.
Yeah, he told...
I'm tired of all the blower guys crying.
Working my ass off.
And you guys need to do the same, basically, as Lord mounted to.
And that's what O-Ty had a rebuttal for.
Yeah, I like it whenever there's feuds.
Yeah, and it's not us.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, hey, that's part of drag racing, man.
That's part of it.
Everybody can't just all be, you know, kumbaya out there.
Yeah, but also cut us some slack when it's us.
Yeah.
Let's see.
There was just a ton of racing.
It's that time of year.
Like the weather's breaking.
All the tracks are nice.
Not a lot of weather to cancel races.
So there's just a lot of racing going on right now.
So let's kind of recap a little bit,
because obviously we have to go in 10 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
So our next race is with Blue at Midwest Pro Mod.
XRP, April 16th, 17th.
The following weekend after that is our first NHRA race
at a race track that we've never even been to.
That's a four wide.
It's ZMAX.
Four wide at ZMAX and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Yeah.
So that's the first NHRA outlaw street race presented.
Is it presented?
I know it's right trailers have something to do with it.
Presented by right trailers or something.
Quick performance has something to do with it.
A lot of good companies are getting behind this deal.
So that we have a place to race and you guys have a place
to watch cars like the Nova and the Fireball Camaro and Goldy
and all the other guys that have raced MPK with us for years.
And then after that would be our next outlaw syndicate race.
It's the next outlaw syndicate race that's in that Brainerd Motor
Sports Park in Brainerd, Georgia.
It's on the line of Georgia and Tennessee.
So it's Chattanooga and Brainerd and Ringle, Georgia.
It's all right there.
And there's still sponsorship opportunities for our outlaw syndicate.
If you want to be a part of that, reach out to us.
Let us know.
Yeah, reach out to us.
It's a lot cheaper than you think to become a sponsor of a race like that.
It really is for the exposure that we're going to give you with this deal.
We're just going to keep growing this.
Like this thing hasn't peaked.
It's not anywhere close to peaking.
We're going to do our thing to get the exposure that your company deserves
by getting behind this deal.
So holler at us.
The easiest email I know to tell you is 187customsatdemurdernova.com.
And then we can get you in touch with the right people.
Yep.
You guys send us banners.
We hang all of our sponsors banners along the fence.
We do the shout outs, you know, and.
And eventually, you know, I feel like this deal is going to grow in.
It's going to grow and it's going to be big.
Yes.
So we had a good turnout at the first one.
It's going to continue to get better.
And I know you should be a part of it.
I mean, now, I mean, I don't know if I should be talking about this,
but I think Ryan's talking about bringing the fireball to the next one.
Oh, yeah.
Because there is going to be a lot bigger cars coming.
So and if that happens, then obviously at some point,
we need to get the OG out and just start making passes in it to get it ready.
So I don't know.
But the problem.
Well, there's no problem with it.
So anything else?
If other cars like Scots are going to be there,
then I don't see a problem with it.
Yeah.
No, it's not a problem of having it there.
It's a problem of it takes time away from you guys to be with the fans.
It sure does.
That is what that was supposed to be for.
It's something to think about and think about weighing all options for sure.
Yep.
So yep.
I don't know.
I guess that's going to close out for episode nine.
Yeah.
Well, we'll have another one on the next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday, we're going to do it for sure.
For sure.
We're going to be home, guys.
So we'll make sure that we get it done.
And then even when we're on the road, we're going to figure it out.
We're going to make it happen because there's going to be lots of stuff to talk about
in the coming weeks.
And we're just going to make it happen at the plain and simple.
We've got to make it happen.
We might see about getting Dave or somebody on the next one.
Yeah.
Maybe Dave's in town right now.
He's not here a whole lot.
Dave's not here, man.
Dave's not here, man.
But right now, Dave is here.
So he was at Digger Die and he had a car that went to the third round, something like that.
Oh, did he?
Then smoked the tires.
Yeah.
He's been tuning a lot of cars.
He's picked up two or three that he's doing.
And he's been doing all right with them.
Right on.
So anyways.
Well, tuner Dave.
Yeah.
So he's making money and suspending it.
So it's got to stand for something.
So maybe we'll get him on here on the next one.
Yeah.
I think we should make that happen.
Let's just count on having Daddy Dave here on the next one.
So until then, guys, we appreciate you watching and or listening.

Wherever you choose to listen or watch your podcast at, listen to us there.
More on Nation Unfiltered.
And see you all next Tuesday.
About this episode
Episode 9 of Moron Nation Unfiltered mixes shop talk, race-weekend results, and plenty of drag-racing controversy. The hosts celebrate new comfy chairs, then run through a busy schedule and ongoing car projects (weight reduction plans, swapping to methanol, and rebuilding multiple vehicles). On-track, they discuss a rough outing in the 530 class—belt, fuel, and voltage issues, plus tire wear and a scary brake moment—while praising a standout winner who nearly triple-dipped. The biggest debate centers on PDRA rules and blower-tech parity, plus multiple XRP and Digger Die drama stories involving track talk, on-site altercations, and unanswered officiating questions.
