FREE LIVE STREAMING VIDEO FROM ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACE WEEK 2.0 STARTS SUNDAY!!!

It’s time for 1320Video Race Week 2.0 Presented by Motion Raceworks and that means one of the baddest drag and drive events on the planet is going to kick off Sunday evening LIVE from Thunder Valley in Noble Oklahoma. We’ll have live streaming video of each day’s racing action from Sunday through Thursday nights as racing will start at 3pm Central each day and continue until at least 10pm each night. Racers will be driving from track to track during the morning hours and have an interesting route that will take them from Thunder Valley to the Texas Motorplex and on to Tulsa Raceway Park. After that they will head north to Mid America Dragway and then south to Thunder Valley to wrap up 5 days of racing, driving, and surviving. The top finishers will take home real money, and will have bragging rights for next year.

Along the way we’ll be stopping at cool checkpoints, having fun on the road, and undoubtedly tearing stuff up and having to fix it in random parking lots and on roadsides. But that is all part of it, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our live streaming coverage will be on each night from 3pm until the last car goes down the track and that coverage will start Sunday evening.

Stay tuned for links to all the action!

Finnegan And Newbern Make The World’s Biggest Rooster Tail With The Rogers Jet Boat!

Finnegan And Newbern Make The World’s Biggest Rooster Tail With The Rogers Jet Boat!

Jet boat owners love a big rooster tail, because it looks cool not because it makes it go fast. With that said, there is an ideal angle for particular jet boat setups based on hull design, setback, etc. When in “race mode” a boat like this Rogers will want an angle of somewhere around 5 degrees up, but to get an ideal launch you want more water in the water. This is why race boats control the angle of the nozzle so that it can be in the ideal position for launch and then change to the ideal angle for high speed. But some folks use these to make a bigger rooster tail so they can look cool on the river. But not this big of a rooster tail. Cause this, this is something special. You know, like Newbern and Finnegan. This thing is a wheel standing, launch it out of the water machine now. It’s crazy.

They have stacked all the stuff that can make the nozzle aim higher, and taken off every single limiter. And now they have an insane angle that quite literally makes the biggest jet boat rooster tail in history. Oh and did I mention they tested it in a thunderstorm, on the lake, with the pouring rain and lightning all around them? Yeah, cause lightning doesn’t strike water….

Oh, and based on the level of giddy they have going on in this video, I’m expecting a second attempt for even bigger shenanigans.

Scary Flamin’ Video: Watch This Mustang Grudge Car Smash The Wall And Erupt Into Flames (Driver Walks Away)

Scary Flamin’ Video: Watch This Mustang Grudge Car Smash The Wall And Erupt Into Flames (Driver Walks Away)

There’s nothing scarier than fire in a race car. Nothing. That’s something being said by an announcer, not even a person who has to be front and center when their whole world looks like the inside of the freaking sun. Of course I’m saying that because of how this video plays out. Shot at the recent Carolina No/Time event at GALOT Motorsports Park in North Carolina, we’re going to see a magnificent looking Fox style Mustang that packs a massive nitrous engine hammer the wall with incredible force and then erupt into flames and look like Ghost Rider’s taxi.

The good news here is that the driver opens the door and climbs out himself. You can tell that the dude is banged up though as he nearly drops to his knees the moment he escapes the flaming hell he was sitting in. So what happened here?

Drag racing happened. This is not a no-prep event, it is a no-time event. So don’t go flapping your gums about the dangers of no prep racing. This was a deal where the guy likely had some decent money on the line and knew that if he was going to beat his opponent he was going to need to bring the power in plenty early and really lean on it. Well, the power came in but the traction went away. It seems like the dude may have stood in on the gas again as the car was crossing the track because the impact to the front corner on the driver’s side is brutally harsh.

That impact breaks the fuel cell which causes the flaming trail of fuel and kicks off the initial inferno. We’re guessing the electric fuel pump keeps the party going for a minute before the safety crew starts hosing the car down with fire suppressant. We hope that the driver makes a full recovery and we hope that the car is repaired. That thing was seriously freaking beautiful.

Press play below to see this brutal crash from the Carolina No Time event at GALOT –

Triple Threat Big Money Bracket Racing Is LIVE Right Here! Several Hundred Thousand Dollars On The Line This Weekend!

Big money bracket racing is as American as Apple Pie and Chevrolet, but that doesn’t mean that every track in the country is doing it. In fact, some of the bigger and badder tracks you would think have to be doing big money races are sometimes the ones that aren’t. That was the case at Virginia Motorsports Park, until track General Manager Tyler Crossnoe put together a plan to change that. The result is the Triple Threat Bracket Series and there is a lot of money on the line this weekend. Starting off with a $10,000 race Thursday, and with another $135,000 going to the winners over the weekend, means that everyday matters and someone is going to go home happy each and every day of the race weekend.

Here is the video description from MotorManiaTV:

With few big-money bracket events in the mid-Atlantic area of the US, Virginia Motorsport Parks own Tyler Crossnoe created the Triple Threat Bracket Series to fill the void. With $30K, $75K and $30K to win Friday, Saturday and Sunday plus a $10K warm-up race on Thursday, this is one not to miss! Jr Dragsters will run as well during the weekend with two 32 car shootouts on Saturday and Sunday.
