First
Let’s go
That Mountain Dew opener got me hyped
That mt. dew musta shorted out the fuel pump… Dang that thing is loud!
Nice…man I liked the little montage before you hit the road …
A not so great day at the track banging gears is still better than a good day in jail.. so you got that going for you, lol.
Going racing is getting to expensive.
Trojan's getting a straight axle. Calling it now. Must say the in car camera angle and that helmet gives a two-lane blacktop ending vibe. Better days are def ahead for the old horse.
Gonna be joining ya soon i hope. I wish my car had enough power to destroy the track but the lil 150 hp 302 I have just doesnt have enough torque
Has anyone made a meme/gif yet for the Dewstrike backflip he did?….LMAOOO
Listen substandard is what we expect, but angry driving home with your high beams on? Not cool! hahahahahaha.. 🙂
Very good video my dude, you are really gettin better at making the vids.
Nice job bud
@8:32 missing craftsmen screwdriver found
50th! lol And Rodney stayed upright during this #dewstrike !
Refresh my memory. Which of these fine automobiles was eventually going to receive your vaunted and mostly forgotten 5.8 small block?
2nd is like a Box of Chocolates! #podiummafia
Man, I get where you are coming from. I still think that the TNT days should be one slick lane and one radial lane. JMO. It is what it is now. But in the end, it was still a victory!!! No broken parts and made it home on its own power!!! Driver did a good job!!!
I feel yah by then end of this year Arizona will only have 1 drag strip when I started racing in 2005 we had 5 and the municipalities are responsible for all of the closures
I already had three cans of Dew today, and I have to get SOME sleep tonight. So, with that being said, I was not a participant in the Dew Strike this evening. I did Crack open a bottle of water with ya. I'm not worthy!
Never stop rowing the gears!
I'm curious to how the Albuquerque Dragstrip is going to react to the turdbirds manual shifting madness.
I bet the drive gave you plenty of time to think and listen to that sweet sweet music Trojan performs.
I've never seen a track push someone out of the groove unless they are running street tires.
Rodney, you gotta get that 2 step wired in off your clutch switch and either the button on your knob or a button on the steering wheel to make it an easier routine. I have mine off a relay tied into my clutch switch that gets activated by a steering wheel button as long as the clutch pedal is all the way in. Once the clutch is fully disengaged, it deactivates it.
I bet that's a 2×4 tunnel ram setup on the video under the yellow towel. Come on you need to spill the beans……
Great in car video !! To bad about the ignition system problem. Our local track is probably the best it has ever been as far as the crew and the pride of how much they take care of it. South eastern gassers are some really cool guys & gals!! I have a friend that runs the gasser circuit. His car is pretty dang famous.
Thank for all the great videos.
Love seeing the process
Cut the helmet strap
God I miss ECD. Just like Cinderella said in the 80's "Don't know what you got till it's gone"
Why not pull through the rest of 3rd gear instead of shifting to 4th as you cross and seeing if that helps m.p.h?
Woooohooooo! A bad track day is better than a good work day!
Man I'm glad our track doesn't put you out of the groove unless your on a street tire on a race/tnt day
I'd put the light on the other plug wires to see if they're consistent. Then I'd check for corrosion on the cap and make sure the distributor bushings are okay
Are you using solid motor mounts on all your cars?
What kind of heads are you hiding under the towel?
that track day montage was pretty classic haha. theyre scared of the stick dude, dr fear called ahead. the view in car with the track was awesome in this video. cheers to you for not having the best time and just hitting some licks anyway. track always seems great, just bad timing. hopefully you be able to get it in soon.
Rodney what ever happened to the 351w build?
Why are 4:56 gears the max? Cuz 7:89 in one bite!
Every time I have 2 step issues
the module went bad(mostly built after 2015) or it is a ground issue. I cleaned the ground and added an extra block ground and it started working and hasn't quit.
4.56 for the win
Thanks for the video 50!
Thanks for the video Rodney enjoyed as always
Those kinds of days can be so frustrating. Even with my (not very fast) car I have those days where traction is a problem and it ends up being a waste of time and money. Throughout all of that I still have love for and appreciate my local home track (Milan Dragway). They were shut down for a season and it was pretty worrisome as to if they would open back up. Fortunately, someone bought it, and the new owners are doing an awesome job with it. It is so much nicer than it was before. I haven't raced in a couple years since my car has been part for repairs and upgrades. I CANNOT wait to get back out this year and make some laps. Trojan is still my favorite. Keep on keeping on!!!!!! Almost forgot- "FIRST"!!!!!!
