Greetings drag racing fans, permit me to introduce Jaeson Chainz and his 2002 Ford Mustang GT. This car is a years-long endeavor involving an engine swap as well as other significant modifications. Under the hood is the focal point. It’s a Coyote mill from a 2006 Ford F-150. The bottom end is stock with the exception of some aftermarket oil pump gears and a crankshaft damper. That’s a Gen III Coyote (Ford) intake manifold from a 2018 model. The turbocharger is a Forced Inductions 91-102 – winking out of the grille opening. The kit is custom fab. Maximum output is Read More

As the Mecca of drag racing enthusiasts, Hot Rod Drag Week attracts some of the most capable straight-line machines in the world. This video focuses on some of those vehicles. Day 4 of Drag Week finds us looking at a diesel powered 1980 Chevrolet C-10 shortbed pickup with a pair of small turbochargers. This truck is rolling coal like it’s going out of style and leaving a ton of rubber on the track during his burnouts. The sawed-off truck cuts a clean light and totes the front out past the tree. He leaves a thick cloud of black smoke behind Read More

Never met a car enthusiast who didn’t have a vision of their dream ride. For many, it’s the 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet coupe models. Arguably, there is no model that more dramatically symbolizes the era of drive-ins, weekend cruises and drag racing as well as these “shoe-box Chevys”. Featured in this video is possibly the most pristine and bodacious example of a time in automotive history when the cars were heavy, the fins were tall, and the chrome was plentiful. Have a look. Built for the grueling event known as Hot Rod Drag Week, with its multiple drag racing Read More

With a name like Hot Rod Drag Week, one might think this was more about all-out horsepower than consistency. Truth is that Hot Rod Drag Week is a series of Index Drag Races, and consistency is key. So, what could be more consistent than a Tesla? As it turns out, not much. Hot Rod Drag Week is comprised of drag racing on four tracks in five days. The truly sinister part of it is – the circuit between the drag strips adds up to more than 1,000-miles. That’s a long road trip in a car that is designed for maximum Read More

Contemptable sacrilege or common sense? Guess that depends on how doggedly you cling to the status quo. At any rate, this is one that’ll get a lot of people’s blood boiling. A giant Ford motor in a classic Chevy? Oh, the humanity! Just kidding. Fact is that every racer is smart to use what is most accessible at the time. This time it’s a 1969 Chevrolet Nova – abandoned by the car owner’s son for 25-years – loaded with a massive twin turbocharged Boss Nine 565 cubic-inch big block engine. The mill is built by Jon Kaase Racing Engines and Read More

It ain’t about being flashy. It’s all about how fast you can get from point A to point B. Certainly, Mark Urban (Urban Racecars) has built himself a Camaro that can get from A to B in one quick hurry. What it lacks in shine, it more than makes up for in performance. Let’s catch up with Mark, fresh from Drag Week. Under the hood of this Chevy is an LSx V8 (7.0-liter) engine running a hydraulic camshaft/lifter setup. It has a stock LS3 intake manifold, 2002 Corvette exhaust manifolds and a 5-inch air-to-air intercooler. The turbochargers are a pair Read More

Once again, it’s time for that drag racing event that punishes competitors like a working staycation – Hot Rod Drag Week. These crews and cars will be faced with racing on four dragstrips in five days. In order to get to the various locations, they will have to traverse over 1,000-miles (most of them pulling a travel trailer). Bonds of friendship will be forged and cars will be broken. In the end, the last man standing will be crowned king. The action begins at the Virginia Motorsports Park. After numerous and lengthy rain delays, we are told that everyone gets Read More

So, what else would you expect from a battle tested bunch of Norsemen? Scared of Hot Rod Drag Week? Oh, no! Build a car in a week and bring it to Atlanta; where you will begin the most grueling week in racing? No problem for Vikings, right? Hamstrung with a Volvo Station Wagon? Now, that’s going too far! Even legendary warrior Eric Bloodaxe needed an aerodynamic vessel beneath him. After all, this Volvo is shaped like a cinder block. Do not worry and do not fret; this tenacious team is geared towards building a street sleeper perfectly suited for success Read More

Never seen a rear-wheel drive Taurus? How about an 8-second Taurus? I have never seen either one. Then again, I’ve never been to Estonia on the shores of Northern Europe. Andre Arnover, the owner of this 1972 Ford Taunus (not Taurus – thanks James) hails from this place whose native population is often mistaken for being Finnish or Polish. As though the little Ford wasn’t strange-looking enough, the rear fenders have been widened to accept larger (275) racing slicks. The motor is all Ford (no LS swap for these crazy cats). It’s a 427-Windsor (small block) being force fed air Read More

Fast Eddie and his 1964 Triumph TR6 are among the most interesting characters you will find at Hot Rod Drag Week. Despite his frazzled hair and disheveled appearance, Fast Eddie not only tackles this challenging contest of endurance and speed but consistently turns out high 8-second elapsed times at around 150 mph. Eddie’s car is a real eye-catcher with a monsterous turbocharger protruding through the hood. It all begins with a handcrafted tube chassis underneath an extended (14-inches) TR6 body. The engine is no less interesting. With everyone else opting for the LS package, Eddie has chosen to go with Read More
