SUPERCHARGED UTE “AGONY” AT BRASHERNATS

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.

One of the cars we wanted to see hit our freshly prepped track was this one, and the proof is definitely in the pudding regarding was it worth all the effort and time in the lead up to this event.
Mumbo got right back to where it last left off blasting deep into the 7’s, with a few adjustments having to be made throughout the 2 days the car responded well with Kevin pedalling the car as it tried to take flight on a couple of spicy passes!

Kevin, who’s starred in just about every drag racing video on our channel has probably done more laps of the dragstrip than most people and has been campaigning Mumbo for a few seasons now, a hugely driven person who always aims to push the car each round to go faster and faster. With Mike in charge of the tune up, the car has continued to smash it’s own PB’s time and time again for both ET and MPH.

Check out Mumbo in action as it continues the pursuit of that ultimate PB; the 6 second slip, it was right there – again!

So I had to head to Heathcote Park raceway to film an episode of Street Machine carnage with Scotty Taylor, we had the track to ourselves to after filming the track owner Lance offered for me to send my car down the track.

This is my weekender, it has 255,000km on it so i didn’t want to break it.

Soft launch and many fuel cut issue, it was still a bit of fun and it put down not a bad time considering 🙂

Always refreshing to see a new car hit the track, Tim brough the 1976 Oldsmobile Starfire based funnycar down to get some practice laps in ahead of the upcoming season.

The car looks AWESOME! And it doesn’t go too badly either considering, with Tim not holding back at all on the first pass giving us an absolute belter of a maiden hit!

Still chasing down some further details on the car from Tim but will get those in the description once they come through, purely based off what we’ve seen we can only assume this is a pretty serious combo hiding underneath that wicked looking shell!

Always (secretely) one of our favourite times of the week when we get to unleash this particular category of cars on the Channel and give the fans what they want!

Easily our most popular uploads by far, and there’s no real surprise as to why, the biggest baddest cars (outside of Nitro/Top Fuel) that grace our race track and draw everyone into the stands to watch the craziness these cars all bring when they rocket down the quarter!

Only a handful took the opportunity to test but as always turned the dial up to 11 in the way of action packed content which we assume was for our viewers benefit ofcourse as I’m sure they all know they are stars on our channel by now!
