DRAG WEEK 2019- Day 01

[@NotJo4Ever13]

Hell yessss the fox body lifted the wheels on that pass! Absolutely epic, and again, woody you are KILLING it with these vids, amazing quality!

[@MrInsanityflea]

The 90's intro, never gets old. Love it.

[@SixSixthSix]

'80's'

[@evansisgreat]

I'd love a full version of the intro song so much!

[@PixelatedAussie]

Actually, you'll find this is really recent music! It is called New Retro Wave - kzbin.info/door/D-4g5w1h8xQpLaNS_ghU4g

[@coldstartdaily9738]

nothing 90s about it - its a brilliant 80's sound. and it is a brilliant intro song, has reminders for me of GTA Vice City

[@crypsis5357]

The most underrated car channel by far.

[@lory2622]

“People soup” 3:50 that’s going into the lexicon for sure.

[@keefbartkus]

People soup. No thank you.

[@MrChrisRic17]

Hey that was my girlfriend and I at 1:45! Glad I got to meet you guys and see you make a pass, you are all legends!!

[@kiwigeno7965]

Revisiting this drag week series.....awesome work Benny

[@philbled]

These drag week series are awesome. Great work Woody recording all of this.

[@if66was99]

Finally!!!! I've been waiting for this! Ended a month or more ago and I have ignored all the Hot Rod and 1320 video so I could see how they did from Benny and Al's perspective.

[@TIBORANGE]

if66was99 me too 🤓👍

[@matthewmccarthy9283]

Today I learned Virginia International Raceway is in St. Louis, Missouri. Seriously though, I love this series. Keep up the great work, fellas.

[@salto1994]

awesome video series and shoutout to woody for the great filming and editing

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Great start to drag week. Something to build on.

[@if66was99]

I love that there's one picture of Blasphemi hidden in Benny's intro! :p

[@leif011]

Loving the 80s style synthwave intros.

[@0Somerandomguy01]

Fun seeing the video of my old hometown and the drive from VA to Bmore. I recognized everything and I haven't been back in 6 years. Thanks for the memories fellas!

[@slashmacleod]

I've been watching Drag Week stuff since 2014 and I've learned this. Anyone that attends is an above average car person, but also way above average people. So many firsts this year, records smashed, personal bests bested, and Benny and his mates having a (hopefully) cracking good time thrashing the Cresta again.

[@slashmacleod]

In case I didn't make it clear, bringing a car from overseas is a monumental achievement in its own, let alone running competitive times. Good on ya mates!

[@andybobandy641]

Remember... You never actually GO to Denny's, but you always END UP at Denny's.

[@lucielcampbell2737]

So much awesome, feel weird not having Marty's narration though!

[@aussiemilitant4486]

Top show Lance, good bloke.

[@oldskoolonly]

Awesome vid as always Benny! What an awesome adventure! I can see how doing this every year could become addictive, bloody expensive but worth it and without regrets! It's definitely inspiring me to jump on the Aussie version. Look'n forward to ep2 👌🏻

[@brianmac3194]

Awesome video and excellent content

[@basedneeble7350]

Ive been waiting all year for season 2 !!!! Thank you Benny!!!!!

[@M_G_D_1]

Heck yea! Maryland baby!

[@gjmob]

1:44 Al hanging out in front of the mens dunnies making sure that Woody washed his hands. Using a Chamois on Malibu Stacey is classic too.

[@ScottSherrington]

The fox body's 8.90 is a credit to yours and Al's good planning and workmanship, probably a bit of Woody's too! Congrats on that, and hopefully Ben can drive it to it's potential!

[@davesracingchannel9261]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH3QhGeDrpJ5aaM

[@benjaminkaper21]

Solid effort fellas, great runs, both should be proud, up the barras!!! #barrage

[@ThatHoodlum19]

Hell yeah Benny, all the best mate.

[@davidhamilton7628]

You boys put in the work enjoy it!

[@eformance]

I think the cooperation and camaraderie you guys share with The Skid Factory, BCW, and MCM is awesome!

[@curtislitchfield1378]

This video series ( and last year ) has me wanting to take a fully custom nugget to drag week sometime in the next couple of years. Let's say a Chevy Spring/Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift that is completely rebuilt and 100% DIY. Not looking to kill the clock, but just push what you have as far as it can go for as cheaply as possible. Do a baseline and improve on it, who cares if you're running 20 seconds. Do engine managment with an arduino and just BE there to take part without having to go bankrupt doing it since you have no money anyway. that sound like a lot of fun.

[@lsgemini7686]

Stoked you used the same intro music man 🍺

[@davesracingchannel9261]

[@evansisgreat]

I wish Moog would make a full version of the song. Got such a great feel to it.

[@eddleman72]

I really enjoy seeing the Cresta live on to such great runs.. I had an '85 Cressida, minor body differences (in greenhouse and had the 5MGE DOHC engine). I think the body design of that era car is timeless, much like certain Mercedes of the era.. They have become cult cars in the US especially as drift cars. Barra's are incredible engines... too bad they never made it into US production Fords. Dan

[@mattaria]

Great video. Really enjoy this series.

[@curtislitchfield1378]

I really enjoyed this. Again.. Woody, Great job filming and editing. Friggen epic run in the 'stang!

[@theglitch_713]

I believe in you mates!!!!! Get it done guys!

[@FriendlyBaron]

Some weird lookin drag boats there, no wonder Finnegan was there

[@famhamkalender8347]

we need some "crossed fingers" to go with the "chopped fingers"

[@j1m3by]

Franklin featured twice! Woo Hoo... At the time you were walking into Denny's, I was still 2 hours away from check point two. After the check point, I drove straight to the track, ate a can of beans and crawled in my sleeping bag at 1:30 AM.

[@notold37]

Congratulations on day one guys, hope you have a great week 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@MoparMattt]

Love the intro music to this and thumbs up before watching already know it's gonna be epic just as last year!

[@jcr6548]

The title credit is soo sweet

[@xgford94]

Tasmania is NOT Northern New Zealand... it’s Western New Zealand

[@gjmob]

Can you show us a map?

[@ScottSherrington]

@@gjmob Hey, I want Benjamin Clayton to keep his map of Tassie to himself thanks!🤣👍🤣

[@xgford94]

Scott Sherrington and the winner of best comment today .....is Scott

[@Mojojosie86]

As a Tasmanian I'd gladly claim to be a West New Zealander..

[@xgford94]

Josie McLean I was waiting for this comment, cos when you think about it it’s not really an insult, all three islands are beautiful places

[@agentbilly]

11:18 What is going on with that map? Didn't realize Virgina Internal Raceway was actually in Illinois.

[@joonatankahkonen1667]

Have you guys been pulled over by the police? Do the highway patrol understand your licences and how much are they interested about you guys being there and driving with a track-car? Cool videos and this is just the best entertainment for the weekend.. a few lemon squishes and feet up on the sofa. Just love it.

[@jmyd83]

👍Been waiting for this .Thanks Team Cresta

[@Jgreendyk1]

Cool seeing my home city of Richmond VA. You only drove through it. Wished I paid enough attention to drag week to know you were going to be nearby.

[@stephenbouck]

absolutely love this series keep up the great content!

[@brandonarmstrong5429]

Woo! Day 1 hype!

[@wraithcadmus]

10:14 - There's multiple people with AMCs?

[@JamieRogers95]

Heck yeah! Keen for the rest of the week! Specifically avoiding everything else online so I dont see spoilers

[@MichaelBacon212]

Awesome Benny!!!!!

[@ReedyCreek28]

As John Boston would say "Yew!!!" :) cya 2moro BCW

[@ryanturpin5114]

Virginia International Raceway located in Illinois! Also I don't remember there being a drag strip at VIR. Still love these guys and that Cresta even if their geography of the United States is a bit wonkey.

[@stashtrey1]

This looks like so much fun. Wish I had some friends that were as into cars as I am and would do this with me. Best of luck to you guys on this one !

[@hahaha12345678993]

i wish i had friends

[@stashtrey1]

@@hahaha12345678993 I have friends ...just none that like to wrench and build cars.

[@ivokraaier9740]

you need Mates for that.

[@Puffalupagus360]

8:44 Lil' Caesars ftw!

[@lancethelocal]

Hey that’s my truck! Haha glad we could meet up 🤙🏻

[@zebarias]

Awesome 1st day.

[@hosio1]

awesome as always

[@Microang]

Where's the story of what happened to the Cresta before drag week? It as mentioned there's be a video in the mustang build...

[@phuzz00]

The build is all over on the Skid Factory's page, just put "skid factory barra mustang" into the search and you'll find it.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Will be covered in a later ep .

[@frankblack2853]

Thank you for the content. Its inspiring

gotta love crazy weather on the first day!

[@6351stuart]

Gotta love that wizzard beard ;)

[@MrTimbo318]

Robbie is straight out of wolf creek!

[@d3wd32]

fingers crossed here as well for a good week!

[@JettaJack]

Woodie, what the hell was that map graphic? @ 11:27? You did not drive from Kentucky to Baltimore! Richmond is south of Bmore, dude.

[@joealex65]

Finally! I've been wating for this! I love the Cresta Drag Week adventures! 😁

[@duncandonovan5270]

Decent passes guys 👍

[@One_Bar]

IT'S THE RETURN OF THE CRESTA THEME!

[@mwaofvt]

Love you guy's come 10,000 miles to race but the map you showed (11:19) going from VIR to BAL was a little off. Looks more like Iowa to BAL. MD. VA is right next to MD you don't have to go through IL,IN,OH and PA to get there...It would be like going from Laura to Cooktown via Alice Springs NT. I know you south of the equator guys have a different out look... PS spent years in living from Victor Harbor SA to Broken Hill NSW.. You guys rock....just don't get lost! Be safe --- Motor On!!!

[@JimmyJamm]

Your map graphic from Virginia to Maryland (south to north 120 miles) actually showed you traveled from St. Louis to Baltimore (west to east 700 miles).

[@mitchell9153]

Been waiting for this to come out

[@timothyearp631]

Who drew the map at 11:19? Completely different region? I am glad you guys are using the GPS on your phones or you might have ended up in Japan looking for Rising Sun...

[@Ecosse57]

i like the cresta's new livery much more than the old one.

[@f688xt6]

Nice. I love the story.

[@BradLancaster86]

Back to drag week, featuring dose Benny's dose Barras.

[@statementleaver8095]

*Comment for the editor* The BCW tag after the adverts is brilliant. But can you put the fastest passes as an outro??? Some viewers do watch till the end!

[@joshonthetube]

11:19 - might need to work on your US geography a bit there ;)

[@RumblestripDotNet]

Virginia, St. Louis, all the same!

[@joshonthetube]

Absolutely :)

[@ScottSherrington]

@@mechanicalTurk0...not unless it looked like a Map Of Tassie! 😉 that's an Aussie in joke, for those who don't know WTF I'm on about! 🤣 Google it! You'll get the joke!

[@dB_944]

I bet Moog did that!

[@sireuchre]

Yeah, I didn't know Virginia had been moved to the Illinois/Missouri border.

[@yeldawg907]

What's the song around 13:00? I need more of it in my life

[@maccinloafer154]

So much this

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

I've been waiting for drag week since the first trip. Must be very odd driving on the correct side of the road 😉 Much Luv boys.

[@fordyford]

Shit yeah. 8.9 and 9.0. That Mustang launch was pretty boss. If the Cresta hooks like that it will kill it.

[@davesracingchannel9261]

[@mworld]

Ben (aka Wizard Beard) would be good at those guess how many jelly beans are in the jar contests.

[@alexcorona]

I have no clue why they don't do it on the west coast. We dont have any rain at all during drag week, just 70 degrees all day. Plenty of the fastest cars are located here and there's enough tracks.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

ACPHOTO next year its starts and finished in Michigan so they’re getting closer. Hopefully west coast in 2021

[@if66was99]

Denny's! Order the Moons Over My Hammy. :D

[@TheBondy666]

Was literally over 6 weeks ago and you're just releasing day one now 😅

[@detroitredwing919]

Fuck ya ilove it🙌I just wish it was longer 😢much love from Detroit

[@PixelatedAussie]

Please change your normal intro to something like this! Love the New Retro Wave sounds :D :D :D

[@msmary11]

So upset you guys were in Baltimore and I didn't know. Glad you didn't get murdered!

[@666chege]

Fingers crossed

[@MmeDesgranges]

How fucking good was Benny running an 8 straight up in the Fox body? I was nervous about his confidence but he went wheels up and out the back door.

[@michaelheston1053]

Yeaahhhhhh... We didn't get to the first checkpoint until 4:18am!

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Michael Heston damn :(

[@mungbean84]

100% agree, people soup is rank.

[@davesracingchannel9261]

[@capnthepeafarmer]

Woody, come on bro! Give a track listing!

[@FloppydriveMaestro]

IS the Dash not blinding at night? or is that just the exposure of the camera.

[@towlie911]

Which K&N filter are you running? I have one mounted directly to my turbo but the rubber on the filter keeps melting and destroying the filter.

[@rotaholik89]

We need a "fingers crossed" t-shirt!!! Taek mah monee!

[@josephh.7109]

Can you not pay at the pump with a visa gift card for the gas fill ups? That would be a pain guessing the fuel level.

[@rxc3ntr1c]

Was that a Grand National that pulled into the car park? If so was it still a v6?

[@davesracingchannel9261]

[@elreyyakko]

Does the mustang and cresta have same combo? Think i missed some episodes,if so,crazy mustang is faster,imagine its lighter.

[@LukeTheJoker]

Full build was on the Skid Factory with Benny, Al and Woody.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great start guys, spot the Aussies, ref bare feet 😨
