Blown 7.5L Big Block vs Drag Challenge - The Skid Factory

It's been a while since Al's Big Block Crown has been out on the road so we headed down to the road trip drag challenge at Willobank raceway and raced the crown down the 1/8th mile.

37L per 100km…. Now that’s impressive!

[@abb7387]

How much fuel does it needs for cruising around? - Yes

[@JamesAdams-yz2do]

So if it was a 60 litre fill up. You would only get 160kms to a tank. Crazy

[@computiNATEor]

I thought 24.5L/100km was bad in my E60... No more complaints from me! 😆

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Well done Al

[@dinsdaleseven1627]

I love how quiet your car is. The blower whine inside is awesome.

[@ttv8ra23]

Genuine 9 second street car. Very very impressive. Must feel awesome to drive. That is very quick for a street car!

[@Hard_Right]

don't let youtube mush your brain, that's quick for an any car ....

[@ttv8ra23]

@@Hard_Right 100% but particularly so for a street car, hence the comment.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Back in the day ("the day" being late 90's) I had a low 13 car and it was considered "quick". Todays fast cars are on another level, can't even imagine what it must be like to launch in a car that'll do sub 10!

[@ttv8ra23]

@@Beer_Dad1975 definitely. A 12 second street car is still bloody quick I reckon.

[@ThomasThorr]

​@@ttv8ra23absolutely, most people drive shit boxes that even struggle to get to 100kmh faster than 12 seconds.

[@DMSparky]

I have to say this channel is criminally undersubscribed.

[@Thebigpigsurfer]

Death, taxes and woody saying to the driver "love this thing man" for every car he jumps into hahha

[@dangdang3970]

Next week we show you how to tech your "street car" with a cage and a chute, ha ha keep it up boys 🤘🤠🤙 ps gonna havta a couple of them lemon squash stickers 👌

[@craigdavies69]

That’s a wicked fast streetcar, looks amazing 👌 she flexes and twists a bit reminds me of the purple HQ Monaro on Drag Week and RMRW this year.

[@feral4mr2]

Yeah that crown is magic Al. Hauls arse!

[@seanb250]

UP THE CORTINA!!!!! Great video guys, great racing.

[@commonsense7754]

Gotta love that chassis twisting with all the torque

[@tyronestock8044]

That Car it goes really fast Well done Turbo Yoda 👏👏👏

[@paullutherborrow637]

Loved this episode guys ! Great to see you out enjoying yourselves in what you’ve built ! Bring on more of it

[@p9raceway759]

Alan’s gear change @ 16:42 was perfect !!!

[@Garysparkplug]

Woody the magic man on the edit software and smooth as lemon squash on a hot afternoon camera work, damn brother, serioulsy killed it on this one. Im loving the effort you are putting mate these videos are some next level entertainment, thankyou

[@helplmchoking]

The car is sick and all but how good a hype man is Woody 😂 gonna need him to follow me around just for the good vibes, love it

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

Hey al ! Don’t know if you care, but you’re looking good mate. You look slimmer and happier. Good shit dude.

[@jonnewton5929]

Congrats on your ride Al. Beautiful. Boys got feisty @ 20:20 onwards. 😅 And great to see the Grom hanging with the old Cheese. Cheers Boys

[@Tilpants]

Mates, burnouts, racing and lemon squash, what a weekend!

[@ZeGermanHam]

Really love the Crown build. Such a cool car. Mechanically it seems to be working fantastically, but the rear suspension still needs work to keep it from squatting so much on the right side. No big deal, there's always refinements to be made in a custom hot rod. It's part of the journey. 🙂

[@brucemacdonald5532]

Love a Skid Factory road trip! Oh... and the centre exit exhaust looks mean!

[@craigmurray8358]

Should’ve run it on LPG Gas Al and you mighta remembered to change your 2 speed powerglide. Then wouldn’t need to go to the ATM machine with your PIN number 😂

[@STAG162]

Al going full Darth Vader spec with the GoPro on the mouth of the helmet looking pretty stout now, good numbers.

[@pugmanick]

Love this car You joked about tyre pressures being different, but when you look at the weight transfer off the line, it may well have helped....

[@PX125E]

Such a classy machine and so smooth. With all that twist she should be called Eileen.

[@jamesbaylis9438]

Both yourself and the Crown will become in tune, as you get the chance to run it at event like this 🤟❤ thanks again to all of the OTL crew for their time on the Live Stream, along with Mick from Addictive Events.

[@cyclonicleo]

I love it, the Crown is a beautiful combination of old school JDM, hot rod goodness and modern tech.

[@ShaunButterley]

Damn Al, every time I see the Crown I just drool. She is such a sweet build.

[@andygrace3825]

Great to see you enjoying the Crown, that supercharger sounds mean af :-)

[@p0lyglot]

Lookit you lot, turning drag races into Regularity.

[@Shanes_Shed]

Well, thats a real door lock knob😂

[@HSVR383SC]

That's what you build those cars for. Awesome!

[@reed_reed]

That looks so sick basically 3 wheeling to the 1/8th

[@gearspider]

Yeah The United 🤘

[@fishua5564]

I think he threw the race! 🍋

[@phuzz00]

@3:30 The Crown has a gangsta lean the whole way down the track!

[@morganweast4228]

Congratulations on your PB.

[@t0mn8r35]

I'm qn old school knuckle dragging VK (Brockie R.I.P.) loving Troglodyte so I love the Crown. It's my favourite.

[@kanemclean6620]

Well done Al and Woody keep up the amazing work 👍and great to see the old crown out!

[@hoobywata]

That number plate makes a lot more sense now, it's a 9 second crown! (Over the quarter)

[@bobbobson7882]

Shame you didn't get that $650. Might've covered half the fuel to get home.

[@theskidfactory]

I didn’t have a hope, there were some experienced racers there and they all had the power.

[@michaelshannon4138]

He also didn’t have a hope covering fuel bill..

[@dereklovell9778]

@Taylordrifts this is the kind of No prep car you need!

[@fletcher_h]

So, is this going to be called "Al's 6 second Crown?"

[@matty_isthemotto]

On the eighth yea!!

[@fletcher_h]

@@matty_isthemotto yeah don't tell @bennyscustomworks

[@nicktaylor5281]

1/8 mile remember. Al said equivalent to a 9.90 1/4

[@MadmanJnr]

A 6 to match the 9 on the plates 😁

[@chuckmaddison2924]

No ,that went to Charles. 😊

[@petelattimer6808]

that mk5 Cortina looks SWEET!!! (the one with the CORTU plates on it) really tidy and a nice colour too

[@petrogray4537]

Awesome vlog and whip boys, bravo! Obvious that a lot of other cars had take-off and traction issues, maybe track prep issue (I know it happens). Just noticed how much driver angle you had going down the strip. Watched the 4link video earlier before commenting and noticed you decided not to fit a rear pan-hard bar. For the street, probably negligible impact, but maybe for strip with the big block torque on hand, it could help level out the rear. Just an idea. Otherwise, rock on with beast Crown - keep rippin 👍🏻

[@mjaymo]

That chassis twist though.. 😅

[@Mack74]

Love the Crown....Old school is always a winner. Another great vid guys

[@4wdgtr]

Over in Nz we do the full quarter mile in the weekends.

[@Axeman5913]

Really cool seeing Turbo Yoga in the driver's seat

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Queensland law dictates that you must have a personalized number plate if you want to own a fast street car. Also Queenslanders abbreviate words but use the same amount of syllables in that abbreviation. *sponsor - 'spono' ayy😂

[@andybobandy641]

That chassis has quite the flex to it. That was like a one wheel wheelie for the entire drag.

[@bigalalbig]

She's listing to port captin'. Thanks for more great content.

[@TheosEpicVideos]

My wife and I say Aratula like you Tarantula… then you gotta put up the spider fingers when you say A-rat-tu-lah!

[@BamBamZ_Gaming]

Congratulations Al, not an easy task pulling 6.30s on the eighth

[@weldeddaydreams]

Crown vs Cresta has to be on the horizon, surely?

[@MartyrDK]

Looks like a amasing time. Good to see Timmy and Al jr. Nice video.

[@runnersp1985]

Loving the door lock accessory Al!

[@benlores4830]

Stance is spot on now too 👌

[@matty_isthemotto]

Big Al on the new. Legend

[@johnvelvetsshed1854]

That lemon squash looking like a pasito…

[@aaronfahey1998]

Good to see you guys enjoying a car you’ve built awesome

[@jacquesswart432]

The First glimpse of All with the Go Pro on the front of the Helmet is Star wars '' Woody i am youre Father""" Hehehehehehe

[@sasquatchfoote8235]

Damn I want a Crown so bad. Absolute Classic ❤

[@Danger_mouse]

Nice runs Al. Love the old Bluebird too, she's a bit faster than my old Z18ET rally car was 😍

[@72mardy]

A mate of mine back in the day had a z18et in a datto 120y sedan.... was quite rapid 👍

[@timwise6876]

What a great video thanks Legends, the Crown is flyin 😆

[@adrianw3985]

That Crown is hot! Cheers from Arizona!

[@ro63rto]

Holy chassis twist batman!

[@chuxshed587]

113mph is not hanging around, well done!

[@nikpresservk3ba779]

I think you guys need to head down to Mildura to Cars n Things Restos... 🙂

[@ShaunButterley]

LS Turbo powah!

[@DahTiiteri]

Cleeter shirt spotto 🤌🏼

[@Barry.ONeill]

Definitely needs a siffer anit roll bar 😅

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Your whip looks gangster Al! Love your work.

[@cleanmachine08]

This is excellent. Thank you for the great video!

[@MegaKrustyman]

Serious chat at the end there.... 😄 If you need a cheer up, do a KZbin search for "unnecessary censorship"

[@lysdexiar31]

a wild bigmuz appears!

[@robwigglezz944]

It's got that gangster lean goin on from all that torque

[@john-j-butler]

The Crown Looks great Al. Catch up some day when my cars done. Not as nice as your. Not sure I'll take the P76 down the track, she will explode.

[@JBAutomotive794]

I dig the street car brother! 💪🍻

[@stevesloan6775]

Sick!

[@opexo]

2:07 hey nice door lock you have there

[@Stungray22]

Super charger whine down the strip ❤👌🔥

[@Mr83rt]

Seen you boys rolling out only by chance. I was in the harvey's tow truck with the gold clubby on the back

[@assaultlick2169]

Minty rides in that 6.50 shootout

[@themacgyverinstitute5340]

Good vid

[@DragoserakerIT]

19:05, i didn't know you drank blue Gatorade's I thought you were a lemon squash sort of guy, its a slippery slope, might be a greed cordial next episode.

[@andrewalexander3294]

On ya mate 😎

[@UncleManuel]

Al needs to put Woody in the passenger seat - the front left tire catches too much air! 😂😁😜

[@bruceyblowback8748]

Nice.

[@samsungtvset3398]

Three tautologies at 11:22 LOL

[@nicholaschip5820]

Al, please remember, its called The Skid Factory, not The Traction Factory.

[@dewy7392]

pshhhh that red vk is fast man.. i miss my old girl such a mistake selling it when i was a kid

[@Ozlozcircuitresearch]

I know the 9 is an "n" on the number plate but I like to think it says crownin 😂😂

[@tocsa120ls]

Al and his lead foot :D

[@aserta]

It needs chassis stiffening and suspension offset. That's some wicked reverse dog legging it was doing at the start. :))

[@adman6380]

Good work boys
