Back in the early 2000 I used to build headers for these guys. I was told at one point just about all big block had my headers on them. I remember correctly one of them was Lonnie Chestler (SP). These guys build almost everything themselves. I have always wanted to see them in person. Hopefully some day soon I can. All of them were always super nice people.

[@Basscouch]

Dunn is a legendary name is Drag Racing and Big Horsepower motorsports. Lonnie's Buggy the Terminator was always a serious contender and dunked that queen in the mud a few times.

[@KiaraChesser]

Lonnie Chesser is my grandfather, and the father of this race winner, Eddie Chesser, driver of The Outlaw. The first Outlaw was Lonnie’s. My family has been building buggies for many years. It’s awesome to see other people love this sport as much as we do!

[@thomasvittetoe1930]

Who else remembers back in the late nineties early 00’s when these used to be on TNT AND spike tv

[@DunnDifferent]

Ah man this takes me back to the late 80s early 90s. My dad constantly had the VCR set to record ESPN all weekend back when they showed awesome content like this. My favorite was always the swamp buggy races!

The unlimited class has up to 5 blown alcohol engines that have a total HP of around 12-15000. That's right thousand. It's a must watch and most of the guys would welcome interviews and cameras.

I suggested this a while back, im stoked to learn about this. I love the fact that 1320 is sharing all kinds of different motorsports now. The channel has always been my favorite, but this new direction is so sick.
