Mac Brosnan & Victor Alvarez : New Promod, FL2k Extreme 28s, Owning a Racecar & Raceshop | EP107

[@Spudstrodamus]

Drag racing is a sport like any other NFL NBA MLB. You need your pros, owners, media, promoters. fans, amateurs, and beginners, staff. It's ok to be a spectator and never race or have to work the event and can't race. We are all important to keep dragracing alive.

[@hackaboom]

Yup. I drag anyone I can to the races.

[@tcolley]

Well said. Gate keeping ruins everything

[@Spudstrodamus]

@tcolley I wasn't talking about "gatekeeping" but if your a front runner un your class why would you give your information out

[@robertjohnson4784]

Wow what a awesome podcast watch the whole thing you guys bring up great topics and gave great information on the future of racing loved it Cooper

[@kylefitzherbert9381]

Victor, cleet and brett are my favorite ones so far.

[@sniperpronerfmods9811]

Probably one of the best episodes yet

[@BooneGT2k2]

Props to mac, great backstory, success built by hard work

[@craiga9492]

Awesome podcast! Great job Coop! Vic is doing an awesome job with BMP. Ive never been there and i know thats the best track for prep and love how hes growing it

[@jkfonyi]

Extreme 28 should be no rules other than come on a 28 inch tire. That’s a bad ass class in nc

[@scottwheeler2494]

You could charge for any episode with Victor. He is always a great guest. It's amazing well he represents drag racing.

[@HustlinHorsepower]

I need to come down for one of the pro-mod races!

[@callanbice4485]

You could maybe make a AWD 2j car probably utilising the all trac awd system out of the AWD aristo that came with the UZ v8, and the stock trans for these was also the a340 auto

[@607CHA]

The toyota Gita came in 2jzge vvti awd.

[@dutysuper999]

Ready to start my day with this one 💪🏼

[@goblebrotherracing5525]

Stevie just turned his outlaw pro mod over to NHRA trim and he done a video on it. It’s changing a lot to be NHRA legal. Honestly hard to believe he added all that weight to it to do that.

[@dalelc43]

Had to look it up, Cleetus has 3.85mil subscribers

[@jayventransportllc]

Coffe and car guys lets gooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ZillaFullBoost]

Hopefully this year my car will be ready for FL2K and I won’t just go for testing 😅

[@mr2chet527]

Awesome podcast. Really enjoy listening to Mac and Vic talk drag racing.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

Gotta say, you guys are excellent at talking me out of drag racing in any way competitively. I love my street cars and trucks, and I want nothing more than to drag race, but you guys are talking 4 tax brackets above me. Maybe in ten years idk

[@rich5.08]

Pretty sure i treat home pest control on the gtr owners grandmas house she’s so proud of him. She has all kinds of pics of him at racetrack…small world

[@archetypalculinarian]

Victor is gonna move the sport. 100% he's got his eye on the future.

[@davo2225]

GM got everyone into RBs with the VL Holden Commodore. VL turbos could swap a lot of parts with Skylines which made both available and affordable to build. They were our mainstream inline 6 turbo before the Barra.

[@DOSCADENA561]

Honestly I would say that when they keep the classes changing it makes everyone on their toes. So when they think that they have the advantage and it’s a lock it makes it a fair race

[@WilliamSmith-lq3pb]

U got a nomination from me

[@derekg2132]

How does the trans cost over half the car

[@MeauxMoneyRacing]

Swanstrom went to Texas and cleaned the house

[@TheTsunamijuan]

people forget that building race cars is gambling... you are pushing the useage case far outside the designed spec, which means you are liable for it as the customer. The shop didn't choose to set that spec for you. What they are doing is what you asked, as you pay them for their labor and experience. Its the same with any performance aimed sport/competition. So if your going to gamble with your money, you need to find a way that your happy about it. If you win or lose. Me personally, i find I have so much fun building the cars and learning about the parts, and performance changes i am making. That I am fine if first past it blow sup. Cause I understand it was my choice to do this, and its what I wanted. Plus i got to have fun building it, i get to race my friends, and have a good time, win or lose.

[@hughheffnerd4769]

Did Victor have a stroke ? 😢😢

[@ocdrums24]

…wut

[@hughheffnerd4769]

@ocdrums24 when he talks . He only uses half of his face . Like A LOT . Just curious.

[@ocdrums24]

@@hughheffnerd4769 dudes been like that as far back as I can remember

[@jkfonyi]

Be a man and make a different class extreme 28 is a 1/8 mile class and let all the rvw and 275 and outlaw pro mods that can run a 28 race at fl2k . Then make a 28 1/4 mile class for your 6.20 car

[@mosthatedandroidtunernolim9800]

Nit wbay fl2k is about there's other places tbey cab run

[@Billy_Built]

"v8s are better at handling power, but we still love doing dumb shit" .. Man if that doesn't hit hard home I don't know what does. 🤣

[@evt641]

Didn't know the Boston sandwich guy was into cars...

[@ashleymoriahh]

Limousines 🤣

[@Suspensionguru]

Spoke way too soon on snot Rock at 3.0…lmao

Dude live in Arizona and you’ll paint your car Desert Camo. Mark from Queen Creek,Az

[@ralphsperspective5015]

Interesting to me how a community of people that understand how 25 pounds can affect the performance of a car would allow themselves to be over 25 pounds overweight. I would like to help educate people on this topic however it is not easy to approach people that need this information because you are calling them fat and unhealthy. Whoever breaks into this lane first will be one of the next big youtube stars. There are so many sick and fat people that are tired, and also tired of being overweight. More people need to realize they are eating themselves to death with “foods” that aren’t real food…..

[@iswm]

and all the alcohol.

[@mitchellholroyd2837]

Use a "gatekeeper" car.

[@607CHA]

2jz did come awd toyota gita

[@Spudstrodamus]

I'm a wcf guy because it's a 3.5 hour drive but hopefully I'll start going to Fl2k soon me and the wife have been talking about it hopefully next year

[@sirmonkey1985]

season 6 will never air. when the warner media merger happened street outlaws was immediately cut because the Warner media TV head of operations that took over hated the show. the driver that died happened in 2019. but as for as NPK it was bought but no one knows who bought it yet because they immediately shut down the event live streaming and everyone went hush hush. the fact that they did what they did without saying anything i pretty much lost interest in it. ended up selling my tickets for the race i was going to go to.

[@TieriaErde80]

Npk was bought by Dana white and a few other people and they still live steam it on the street outlaws KZbin channel

[@JayMac]

@@TieriaErde80no they dont. Someone new bought it during the July break and stopped the live streams. There hasn't been one since. Dana was a rumor and that's it he never bought npk

[@TieriaErde80]

Ah okay i rbought i saw something about that in one of thier vids. Thats for the clarification ​@JayMac

[@goblebrotherracing5525]

The guy getting killed on the street show 10000% had something to do with the street show going away. His family ended up sueing as per usual

[@808vws8]

Firsr time watching...cool podcast. Victor smart dude&that can make him dangerous man. Mac got a interesting story...I seen him racing JJ. I wonder how many times they raced&whats the current score

[@jayworkman2308]

You guys are talking like circle track racing is thriving but it's not. You're seeing the exception not the average. Tracks are struggling and so many are shutting down. The Freedom factory isn't a good example, those people are coming to see Cleetus. I watch these youtube channels and feel like drag racing is thriving and better off than circle track racing but I'm also just seeing the exception I guess.

[@shotgun_chef3265]

If you want to make circle track racing get going again, make a business, get a group of tracks willing to open for a race/race series, get a group of racers that will show up just to get out racing, then get sponsors for the prizes, leverage the prize money/tracks/other people coming and get other racers to be excited enough to get their cars together. Can’t complain that others aren’t doing stuff for the racing you like if you won’t do it yourself.

[@shotgun_chef3265]

Only really saying that because that is how this stuff works. If no one works to keep it going, it will disappear. There are plenty of circle track series that are doing just fine around the country, it just takes a group of people that will keep it going because they love it.

[@jayworkman2308]

@shotgun_chef3265 who was complaining? I was saying that circle track racing isn't any better off than drag racing. Both are struggling in places. Sure there are events and series that are doing better than others but the same is true for drag racing. I'm not going to promote a series but I'll take my car and support the local track and support series when possible.

[@chucktaylor7643]

He burned John Doc down

[@Grant82gc]

We don't have the Subaru blowing up issues like you guys in America, I've heard it's because our versions are manufactured in different locations. Also, it could be because we've got strong WRX heritage in Australia so perhaps we know what's required for mods or we go about it differently. I'm not saying they don't have issues but nowhere to the same extent that they have a reputation for it..

[@ratboyiscool]

Did you guys avoid all the silicone issues they were having with the BRZ where it would get into the oil pan? I drove my outback Xt 300k on it's original motor and my H6 outback towed jetskis and trailers till it rotted away. Great vehicles

[@Grant82gc]

@@ratboyiscool yeah we had that issue here unfortunately

[@johnmichaelcoldren9063]

Love victor but sometimes you just gotta stay in your lane just my opinion no hate

[@ocdrums24]

What are you talking about lmao

[@permutatechguy]

Royce miller was great when I worked at MIR but Jason Miller couldn’t manage a team out of a brown paper bag. Hot headed and non communicative.

[@paemt6220]

So Lewis Hamilton makes $55M but 3/4 of the F1 field( or more)pays for their seat, whether it be their own money or sponsorship they bring in. The saying goes regardless of level. "to make a small fortune in racing, start with a large fortune."

[@MrMyrakle23]

He is the 🐐

[@Ethericbikes]

Drag racing is to boring in all honesty, there are very few people who actually make it exciting to watch as well you really don’t know what people do to make their cars incredibly fast beside throwing a bunch of money and hp at the car and it’s over in 10 seconds so for the average person it’s not relatable really for people because they can’t see the skill it takes to be a good drag racer and now that tuning is so good it really don’t seem that skill based anymore and more of who can run the computer better.. but stick shifting is exclusively excluded from what I said because that obviously takes a lot of skill!

[@sneezinhatch]

Get one and race it you will not think its boring I bet you pass out on a 7 second pass

[@Mp-jw1qg]

its not a spectator sport, my car would have you crying for me to pull over LOL.

[@tomahoks]

So you have not been to drags Mano i Mano. It figures.

[@danwilson7776]

Clearly you have never built a car and brought it to the track

[@Gtflybmx75]

I definitely get that to a degree I think ok so for me I got a track and field hr away but it’s an 1/8 mile and people are salty that it took over and abandoned the dirt track on the same property or 2 hours at BIR in mn watching drag races online it’s boring but if your there is fun the sounds and all that is great I’m not a drag racer I do want to see what my car will do on the 1/4 mile I can see why it’s a thing wanting to beat your time but gotta have deep pockets but for me once my 66 mustang is all together with a 347ci 400hp carburetor car with a t5 and 3.50 gears I think it would be awesome to see what the car would do but can’t afford to chase the dragon

[@Schmitty_Luv2]

How about a class that allows only the engine that came in the car and a car that as near factory as possible and that it was built completely from a guy in their backyard with documentation to prove it? Like a grass roots class and the budgets set to a minimum, I don’t understand how there like a classic red and silver stripe turbo acr viper from the late 90s doing 6s racing like a skittle car like for example fl2k22 event where like not even the red awd hatch from boostedboiz entered because of how “stacked” or more like how baller the cars that are racing are clogging up the lanes. 🍿🥤🥸 (One grassroots backyard low budget class for domestic and another for import, then for shits and giggles time permitting import vs domestic shitbox World Cup and then make it a week long event 24/7 day and night racing oh but that’s right you sanctioned with permitting curfews). Not meaning to sound like I’m complaining I appreciate what you do for the community…… that’s gotta be a lot of work to event organize and nobody is acknowledging as much as they should.
