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

There’s always a lot to see during Rocky Mountain Race Week. However, if this insane Porsche build is any indicator, the week ahead will be the wildest one yet. Appropriately nicknamed “The Shark”, this Porsche may have the largest supercharger that we have ever seen. Let’s drop in for a closer look. Owned and driven by Danny Humphrey, this stunning 1978 Porsche 928 is packing plenty of punch with a Steve Morris built 572 cubic-inch big block racing engine. Sitting atop this mechanical masterpiece is a massive roots style blower. The build is fresh, and aspirations are high. Maximum output Read More

These tired racers have traversed more than 1,000-miles over the Rocky Mountains in this contest of endurance and speed. These guys – and gals – are getting dialed-in and trophies are being won. Get a load of some of the characters we’ve met along the way. There was “The One and Only” Robert Williams in his 1977 Chevy Nova known as Weapon-X. Robert took home the trophy in the Outlaw Street Class. The we met Jerome Courtney in his Silverado called Strictly Business. Jerome and crew walked away with the Limited Street Class (8.5-second ET) title. His pickup is loaded Read More

Another year has flown by and it’s time once again for that drag racing extravaganza known as Rocky Mountain Race Week. If you’re not familiar with this event, check out the rules. Despite being a grueling ordeal, it’s lots of fun and lifelong friendships are formed. Let’s get to the racing! Seems only fitting to start with pretty Alex Taylor in her fast 1955 Chevy. She had that shoebox Chevy in rare form on the first day, posting an impressive run of 7.32-seconds @ 196 mph (before breaking her rear end). With a fresh differential in the Chevy, Alex was Read More

From Bandimere Speedway (Rocky Mountain Race Week) to Kansas for the Kansas Airstrip Attack, this stick shift Chevrolet Pickup is kicking butt and taking names.

Although he posted an 11.86 @ 122.85 mph, Cory was unbelievably excited to complete a Day One pass after all his struggles. Anyone who has ever been in a similar situation couldn’t help but share in this guy’s enthusiasm. It was Read More

If you don’t envision lush mountain scenery when you think drag racing, then you ain’t lived through Rocky Mountain Race Week. Of course, you run into all the typical “race car on a road trip” hazards. Murphy’s Law is in full effect with everything from overheating engines to fading brakes to melted wiring to driving awards. It’s all in a day’s work during RMRW 2020. This week-long contest involves four race sessions in five days with a 1,000-mile road trip over the Rockies. In this run-what-ya-brung event, you must drive the vehicle that you will be racing and hit checkpoints Read More

Greetings drag racing fans and gear heads of every variety. It’s time again for Rocky Mountain Race Week, a grueling contest that takes competitors on and off the drag strip to see who truly has the baddest street car in the world. Featured in this installment are a father and son team and their capable Silverado “Strickly Business.” Strickly business is equipped with a 376 cubic-inch Chevy LS engine and a pair of 76-millimeter turbochargers. It has posted a personal best of 8.19-seconds in the quarter-mile, but it don’t matter what you did before RMRW is a brand new game. Read More

After a long day on the road yesterday, the racers are checking in at the Julesburg Drag Strip in Colorado. This is the oldest operating drag strip in the U.S. Bad news is that the weather is wet. Good news is that the rain is subsiding, and it has cooled things off a bit. Race cars like it cool. Racers are looking a little tattered 700-miles into this excursion. Nevertheless, there are some top-tier competitors gnashing on the bridle to get back on the track. There’s a stunning yellow Mustang that has undergone a terrible struggle. The alternator belt broke Read More

Welcome to one of the most grueling tests of man and machine to be found anywhere on earth. Drag cars – designed to accelerate quickly over a short distance, reach a maximum speed and suddenly come to a near halt – are charged with travelling to four venues over seven-days. The drag cars must be driven the 1,000-miles (roundtrip) over the Rocky Mountains and back! Bru-tal! It is common to see a tubbed-out muscle car or late model, pulling a travel trailer full of tools and car parts, during Rocky Mountain Race Week. Unfortunately, it’s also pretty common to see Read More
