So it came down to Apr 1st 2023 Casper and BottleRocket finally meet.
This race was supposed to happen with @UncleTonysGarage 2 1/2 years ago! but as you may or may not know the old 393 Windsor kicked a rod out on the drive to Tony’s. I began building what I dubbed MIXED UP BOSS a 429″ Windsor based engine using Greg Brown’s Hammerhead performance engine Heads which are 429 BOSS based and hence the name Project MIXED UP BOSS.
Tony and I head to Buffalo Valley Dragway in TN to settle our $5000 bet.. well you know the outcome!

Didn't see the end trap lines, I actually thought Casper pulled it out at the last bit. Am shocked that a humble 318, often referred as a truck engine, taking on a Boss 429, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Oscar.
I'll be waiting for the re run…
How about a kick to the balls also
great race. damn bottle rocket lit right up!
Being a Ford man (even tho a Yankee) I was pulling for you. You definitely had the power advantage as evidenced in your closing at the finish but it's hard to get out of the hole with a pickup truck.
What a day! Good sportsmanship,Andy. You almost won that one with a wounded engine! I’m working on getting on Bottle rockets short list.
Very old school. No trash talk. A true gentleman's race.
Joe Biden'$ irs we'll be by to get their part.
I loved it! Reminded me of old time drag racing
Dang it…
I knew that truck had no chance the moment I saw the car.
I have no clue about either vehicle.
That was pretty cocky to bet 5k on the truck. But as they say, stupidity comes at a price.
You should've given the dude 2k and let him punch you, you'd have been better off, then dump 3k into a new ride.
Uncle Phony is full of shit.
Ouch
uncle tony did the new york shuffle on ya , he pretends hes a bad driver but in fact hes a pro , he pretends so you can up the stakes to 5k , sneaky little new yorker hahaha
Rematch on 1/4 mile
that old man cut a light
Anyone that believes this and that it wasnt a setup to boost action on scamfords dying channel for money is the real but of this joke amd shows how unintelligent people are these days.
Trust me no money changed hands and andy let that junker win.
Hows that save the baby 318 coming? Bwahahahaha.
Talk to Andre at Edge Racing Converters.
LOVE the helmet! You guys were having too much fun!!
Great race!!!! But he did launch great!!!!
How come you don't have nitrous
Couple of Good Friends, This is how sportsmanship should be!!
Looks like UT found the replacement for displacement.
That looks like a bad arse 340! With about 250 hp nitrous shot. How else could he take that big block ford. Great entertainment value! Thank You guys great sportsmanship!
The Yankee for the win. Great race!
You got cheated !! It was stupid letting Uncle Tony have a nicotine hit right before the race !
I have a 63 Fairlane with a na 347 that runs 6.90s on pump gas?
great race , … uncle tony is smart ! … but but that’s was awful bet nitrous vs na
Test a little bit get that truck to transfer weight it leaves to soft
Guys head over to utg chanel for some smack talk before the actual race .very good content
Got a new sub here as of April 3rd 108 pm here from @uncletonysgarage
Great race unfortunately, we learn more from a loss than we do from a win. Once you get all the bugs figured out, Casper is going to fly. Keep up the great work.
This is the way!
As much as I live the truck, you know it's too heavy to be anything N/A and will need a rebuild for NO2 or boost to hang with even simple, cheap street/strip cars like Tony's… It's a different world these days, power is so easy to make now
Bugs aside, that 429 CID ford was Rollin on out sir. Tony was spot on when he said he was praying for the stripe. Nice to see good guys doing it the right way.
Isn't that the most annoying hard right and left turn highway it was a good race
Didn't you even go to a test and tune session to realize what a dog off the line you were driving? That launch was pathetic, and there is no excuse for that!
You need to put a blower on that puppy those heads would love it. !
DAMN BROTHER… What happened on the line?
You just got a new sub. Nicely done sir
Sandbagger!
Gotta say… Bottle Rocket had quite the advantage by only having to run an 1/8th mile against a heavy truck.
Do a full quarter mile next time.
