Before we launch the next chapter of the Nugget Project lets look back over the past 6 years, one hell of a ride so far!

A big thanks to our sponsors who support this channel as well as the ones that have moved on, you all helped to get us where we are now, and of course to you, the viewers!

A name synonymous with Drag Racing here in W.A, another Gullotto and another solid race package!

With wifey Steph racing the VN SS, Matt campaigns his NA Holden Powered VL Calais and between the two are a force to be reckoned with down at the track.

Matt brough the VL down to get a heap of laps in on the freshly prepped track surface, and with another rock solid SCM powerplant up front the car didn’t miss a beat all day.

Matt has spent a fair amount of time on our channel before, crewing for the extended family on the Wild V8 Turbo 1UZFE 2000+ HP Soarer (go and check that out on our channel too), the man behind the mic and making sure the Soarer is lined up perfectly for launch – it was about time we gave Matt some air time in his own car!

If you haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!

The prep video has been months in the making – with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from ‘ok’ to ‘elite’!

Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they’ve been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it’s definitely only just the beginning now that we’ve seen what is actually capable.

Check out the interviews with the experts – Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.

Another weapon from the Begley stables, the team at Black Magic Racecars turned the car around in an astonishingly short time frame when the dates for the No Prep Kings Australia Tour were announced. The car was a brand new build and straight off the bat was absolutely dialled – an insanely impressive feat by everyone involved!

The full Murdered out Black Spec Torana dominated at the NPK event at the Motorplex, you’ll have to wait for the Official NPK videos to see the results of that one though!

After NPK however, it was no susprise that Connor wanted to throw a set of Radials on it and really see what the car could do on the freshly prepped track. Connor has run countless laps on Radials in his HZ 1 Tonner both in Supercharged LSA form and then transitioning over to the Twin Turbo Monster as you last saw it.

The Torana is a whole other kettle of fish again, with an even more impressive shopping list of parts and components – the car was set to go big from the get go, and it didn’t disappoint at the track hire!

Probably one of (if not) the hardest hitting radial car at the track, no lag, no waiting for boost, literally no mucking around – just instant brutal power…
Plus the Torana just happens to have one of the toughest idles getting around. Not exactly sure which part of the car is f’ing ugly 🙂 But we can’t get enough of it!!

If you haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!

Have a listen to Brian going round for round trying to chip away at his PB’s on the freshly prepped radial track and with Brodie from Advanced Race Fab keeping a close eye on proceedings. The car now regularly features on our Channel and goes up against the heavy hitters in the Radial Championship (Also featured on our Channel) – worth checking those out too!

One of the most featured Rotaries on the channel would have to be Todd’s RX7 who hasn’t missed many (if any) race rounds, you’ll find this Red Rocket in just about every Top Sportsman/Comp video on the Channel.

Super consistent and Super fast and always makes for some awesome video stills with the mother of all flames when he’s on the two step!

Another no mucking around Rotor from the Rotomotion Stables, making big power, big noise and throwing down some solid times – was awesome to see Todd down at the track hire having a go on the freshly prepped surface and cutting some laps.

A car that you may or may not have seen before in our other videos, Colin’s Ford Probe Pro Stock car which without any doubt makes full use of the ENTIRE RPM Rev range on the tacho.

The car regularly runs in Top Sportsman against the other high revving Pro Stock cars and Rotaries and was another one of the Big Tyre cars who made the most of the Private Track hire after all of the track prep was carried out.

We managed to catch a few cracking runs, and one very loose (but well saved run), have a listen to this SCM Tuned Big Block SING on the top end camera!

The “Pineapple” made the most of the opportunity to come down and have a go at beating its previous PB on this freshly prepped track.

Unfortunately the Clutch Slipper had other ideas and decided it need ALL the power INSTANTLY for every launch – (the car still runs a manual transmission and clutch!) which meant for some very spicy starts which were a little too aggressive for the small tyres under the back of the yellow ute!

Tim and the Pineapple Datsun 1200 Ute regularly compete in the Outlaw Radial Championship Drag Racing Series which if you’ve watched any of those videos or playlists on our channel you should be very familiar with this car…. It’s a proper head turner!

If you haven’t seen it before and/or you love your rotor action there’s a stack of videos on the Channel for you, this little yellow weapon coming from the WA Racing Developments Stables and tuned by Mike (The Rotary Yoda – if there ever was to be one).

And if you also haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look on the Channel for that one also…
