We saw Kyle’s Dragster debut last season and race in the Nitro Max Series, after getting the car all settled in he has now ramped the car up to Top Fuel Spec! Maybe the 6 Top Fueller’s we had over for the Final Round of the Drag Racing Championship Season gave him a bit of a rev up 🙂

Kyles car runs a 499ci John Force Billet Block, John Force 5 Heads, Bryant Crankshaft and Dechellis Valvetrain.

Feeding all the air is a PSI Blower, the new step up brings it up to 90% Nitromethane, hosed in by a 105gpm Fuel Pump.

Getting all of that ridiculous power to the ground is a 6 Disk Clutch Direct Drive 3.2:1 Rear End bolted to massive 36x17x16” Top Fuel Slicks!

Check out Kyle making a test hit in this awesome looking Dragster, looking forward to seeing this one come out once the Championship Season fires up again!

We like to keep the channel interesting, you know that we’ve covered the quickest accelerating racing cars in the world (Top Fuel) but we also love to see budget oriented street style cars having a go aswell!

Cindy brought the newly acquired SS Ute down for a run to get some seat time in, the ute runs a bone stock S1 backed by a turbo 400 trans with an Allfast converter on 26×8 slicks.

After getting a good baseline of the car (which wasn’t too shabby for a stock LS1 to be perfectly fair!) the engine is out and is now getting a heap of work done by Sandro at SCM Race Engines who we know are renowned for some seriously fast cars (check out the 1UZFE Soarer on our Channel as an example!).

A bit of inside info, Cindy’s partner Moreno is also the man who pilots the 2000+ HP Twin Turbo Soarer so we have no doubt she had some pretty handy advice for getting this ute down as quick as it was with that stock 5.7 litre powerplant!

Keen to see what kind of monster comes out of SCM and how the ute goes next time it’s down at the track

A regular competitor in Super Stock and a car you’ve probably seen on the channel last season, Graeme brought the small block powered Supra down to the Private Track Hire to get a few laps in.

The naturally aspirated 267ci loves to be wound out and Graeme definitely does exactly that!

What’s more iconic for a rotary enthusiast than an ultra tough looking RX3, not only that but one that’s bright orange and grabs your attention from a mile away!

Dean’s “Perthorican” is an absolute weapon, powered by a Rotomotion prepped Billet 13B and backed by a GForce 5 Speed with plenty of boost courtesy of a Garrett GTX5533R Turbo.

This RX3 makes north of 1000hp at 35psi all taken care of by the onboard Motec M150 ECU.

As with pretty much every Rotary on our channel, they are spectacular to watch…. with the massive flame show on the two step and the wheels up action given the lack of weight from the compact sized wenkel powerplant… Dean had the car dialled in at this track hire and smashed out a blistering pass (which we’re pretty sure is a new PB for the car) but on the return pass to see if he could knock that time down even further an oil line let go and the car was packed away in one piece to fight another day.

The RX3 definitely puts W.A on the map when it comes to paying tribute to the home of the worlds fastest Puerto Rican Rotaries.

Can’t wait to see the RX3 back out again next time at the track!

You may have seen the recent upload of the Camaro, well that was from way back at Christmas 2021… Fast forward to June and the boys came back to turn it up to 11.

They chased the track for a little while until they got the car to hook, and wow did it hook!

Turn this one up and enjoy this unreal sounding LS smash out a new PB!

Piloted by Josh Oosterwaal – this boosted beast is a 2002 Chevy Camaro pacing an LS Engine and Garrett GTX turbo. It runs an LSX Powertrain T400 with an in house built Sheet Metal 9 inch. Vitals are controlled by a Haltech ECU and the car is tuned by Con Oosterwaal and runs a 275 Radial.

With no sign of giving in, the boys persevered throughout the day and night making adjustments to try and get a clean run in.

We love featuring true street cars on the channel and this one is a gem, the new Supra really is an awesome bit of kit which looks the part and funnily enough in following it’s long heritage is a rocket almost straight off the factory floor.

With a few minimal mods added this 550rwhp GR Supra would give most other cars off the showroom floor a proper run for it’s money.

We first saw the Ned and his Supra on the channel a full year prior to this at the 2020 Christmas Party, it was great to see it back again in it’s pursuit to go even quicker!

Mat from Pro Flow Injector Servicing was another who was fighting challenging track conditions, we’ve previously seen this street sleeper smash out an 8.760@159mph!!

Unfortunately it was a battle trying to get it to play nice this time around but still awesome to watch nonetheless.

We’ve said it before but it really doesn’t get more “street” than Mat’s unassuming VS Ute which he drives to and from the track with all of the gear loaded into the tray, we have plenty of all out dedicated race cars pumping out ridiculous times on our channel but this is one of those all rounder gems that we know can turn it on when it counts!

The Skyline came down to run some laps after it’s new setup and tune from Jesse (who is no stranger to the drag strip, running some serious times in his RD powered “Prodeo” which has appeared on our channel very early on).

Jesse had the Skyline tamed down a bit until they could get a handle on the 60ft but not quite enough to keep the Borgwarner rear happy! They are currently building a 9 inch rear for it and correcting the 4 link geometry in hopes of running a 8.7~ 150+ mph! We look forward to seeing the car back and following as they try to achieve that goal!
