Drag Drive Repeat News returns with a Circuit-focused update as racers push to make the start line. With less than a month to go, builds are under pressure, parts are still at the machine shop, and the clock is ticking.

Cole Buckner’s engine is still apart with 26 days left before the Circuit, highlighting the reality of last-minute thrash. Red Hat Scotty calls out a cheeseburger grudge match against Brett Marvel—small block Ford vs big block Chevy—in what could be one of the most entertaining matchups heading into the event.

Brandon Hayes shares progress on his 1984 Crown Victoria for the $3,000 cheap car challenge, detailing the setbacks, rebuild work, and small wins that define grassroots drag-and-drive builds. From rear axle installs to engine assembly, the grind is real as competitors race the calendar.

More racers check in with updates, including ongoing work on a Firebird build and the community momentum building inside the Circuit Racers group. With a wide range of cars—from 4-second eighth-mile machines to 14-second street cars—the field continues to grow as the event approaches.

Powered by Summit Racing and supported by partners across the drag-and-drive scene, this segment covers the people, builds, and pressure leading into one of the most demanding events on the calendar.
