Fast Eddie and his Triumph Powered TURBO!

Don’t take the thumb to seriously, we just wanted to make you smile as much as this car made us smile hahaha - Triumph TR6 - Fast Eddy Tames This 91MM Turbo Monster! Taking a British car he’s owned for over 40 YEARS, and stuffing it to the brim with American muscle has made Ed Olson’s name widely known in the Hot Rod community! Ed’s stretched wheelbase Triumph TR6 has some pro-stock attributes with British styling, which leave him with a very well mannered monster machine. Powered by a family heirloom Pontiac engine (his parents drove the engine home when it was new back in the 70’s), this little sportster is packed with as much nostalgia as it has horsepower! With a turbo this big pushing a consistent 20+psi, this engine has held together while putting down high 8 second passes for over 8 YEARS! Ed claims it’s about time for more power and that is something that we can’t wait to see!

[@s7v7nfiv5]

friendly ole fellow, the guy still kid at heart what many lack in the racing scene.

[@jnathannger8654]

s7v7n its cool to see a guy thats just happy, so many drivers see it as a job

[@biggin5434]

This is the guy you want for a neighbor

[@antwainmcgee2268]

biggin5434 exactly. Thought so myself.

[@mercury9060]

biggin5434 I love this guy

[@antwainmcgee2268]

Not to mention that car is really well built, not to put the eye on it. Seems durable, he kept on running it, pretty hard too. Nice work for him, very impressive.

[@jjbooster4764]

he looks like the kind of guy to complain because your car makes his cars look fast or loud lol

[@easetres8664]

the guy who looks like he'd be happy to show you a thing or two

[@DeffectiveMirrors]

Your stereotypical mad scientist, crazy hair with a crazy project. A mad man

[@stilsicherer]

That´s a nicely incompetitive guy with lots of love and dedication to a strange ride. I liked him and his project instantly!

[@Avetho]

That man is a champ. Spun out laughing: "Hey, I got another 8 second pass!" He did it for Dale, and Dale kept him good for another run!

[@CaseyFinSF]

Thanks for showing Fast Eddie and his Triumph TR6. I was always a fan of Triumph cars, especially the TR7 BACK IN High School.. Never got one myself, and hadn't even thought about Triumph since I can't remember when. It was good to see such a screaming over the top example while keeping the true form of a Triumph. Excellent! Thanks Eddie and 1320 team!

[@1320video]

Love bringing out the fanatics for weird cars when we feature stuff like this, glad you enjoyed it!

[@brandonswitzer6957]

This guy is awesome, home built and out for a good time. If you guys see him again, please do a longer in-depth feature.

[@Mariusz803]

Hotwheels should make this car! Awesome build, hats off to this guy for all the hard work.

[@codygardner7185]

We need more people like fast eddy in this world all the best peace

[@GrizzlyGarage]

It's like a little rocket ship haha. That first race he just blasted away

[@joe125ful]

Warp speed 5!

[@kevinbalancier6554]

Bubgf

[@TheMatty1x]

Yes. It's photoshoped

[@ajwhite765]

Really???

[@karlallspach5309]

Let's just say digitally enhanced...

[@danhal214]

Met this guy in person many years ago. Was/has been huge in the MN "Mexico" scene for years. Amazing and FAST build.

[@hunterperformancepros]

Man that turbo has a nice triumph kit on it.

[@Burden-THE]

I love the car. Simple and clean. Looks like something you could ride around town with, minus the crazy turbo. Very fast, Eddie seems awesome!

[@jmac240sx]

I remember when he would bring this thing to Porkys in the early 2000's and everyone would gather to gawk. Chatted with him a few times great guy! Make me miss Porkys and the good times on university.

[@thisbedaniel3217]

This guy is the hilarious

[@theonlybucko]

The scene needs more people like this.

[@mattmonaghan3321]

This guy is so cool he said it’s boring to watch hell naw this is the coolest 8 second car I’ve ever seen and he seems like he’s having a great time even when it doesn’t go straight or hook

[@Hansspeilm]

I think it would be a blast to have garage beers with this guy.

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

What a rill chill and humble Eddie

[@patriotrob7066]

Fast Eddie is a great guy I've done alot of street racing with him over the year's...

[@SuperRyan89]

LOL at the skids that veer off to the right of the track at 9:38

[@lisalouisekeen4191]

Great car, great guy, just living life.

[@AynsleyPaterson]

Fast Eddie is having a ball out there.

[@MegaMineguys]

What a wonderful guy!! Best of luck to him in the future

[@lee1978good]

I love this guy. What a legend.

[@JeroldOnTheStreets]

That guy was chill af

[@goobygoob9312]

I watched this on my laptop, and as soon as he launched, it shut down. He knocked the RAM out of my computer.

[@Sibsko21]

Need more guys racing like him. Looks like he’s having a good time and has a riot of a car. Would love to talk to him

[@dallatorretdu]

what a clean build, it tracks super true

[@DeathBringer769]

This looks like a chill older dude you could share a beer and a bowl with, lol. He's faster than a lot of guys who take this stuff too seriously and are too far up their own ass, lol.

[@AtlasJotun]

"Doesn't even look like it's fast, just kinda... drives off the starting line." HA! You're a funny guy, Fast Eddie!

[@-MacCat-]

Watching the first part of this clip I couldn't help but think - Bubbles goes to Drag Week. But, I do like his car and he seems like a lovely bloke. Well done, Fast Eddie. Keep it up.

[@johnparrish9215]

I think that 14 inch stretch made the TR-6 look better, that and tall folks can drive it

[@mrmatt2525able]

That guys has a good racer attitude!! Great video

[@justinmadison1333]

He drive the hell out of that car, see it all over the place all summer long here in mn

[@robotuser420]

Anyone who is saying this was clickbait needs their eyes checked. It is VERY obvious that the turbo was cut and pasted on the photo. Smh.

[@dieseldiesel9292]

I hope I can be as cool as this guy when I retire.

[@danstray2527]

EddY is amazing !! What a cool guy, wish i had him for uncle. Triumph is bad ass to with a great turbosound!! MUST SEE

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

Looks like she runs pretty darn str8 (from beam to beam anyhow lol). Sweet ride.

[@karlallspach5309]

That was really fun to watch.

[@MrJOEYRULES2]

Quite the character haha I love this guy!

[@TheLiquidKnight]

Top tip there to anyone wanting to do Drag Week. If you want to run solo spin out the day before.

[@ramairgto72]

The music of that firing order... That engine was designed in the 1950's, nice to see it beat up on LS / Ford / Slowpar.

[@JR113FTW]

This guys brain is awesome haha

[@PolarisEricson]

Representing Minnesota!

[@michaelrussell146]

Awesome car. Awesome guy. PONTIAC POWERED!

[@StandAloneAoi]

Ok. My favourite car, 50% of which is down to the driver Eddie. Maybe I'm a little biased being British but I don't think it's that. Being around all those American muscle cars, but stil just loving it for what it is, your parents old car made with love to have fun and to hell with being different. Real cool. Also I think it really is pretty. Like another comment it comes off like an almost Art Deco rocket ship.

[@hamsteaks5541]

Professional Transmission in NY will hook you up nicely. The owner is the most stand-up, down to Earth guy you'll want to be around. Has a nice Dyno too.

[@TheBTRGarage]

I want more of the drag donk at 6:18 ! 😂

[@aussiebevo103]

Man that is sick! What a little animal! Haha love it!

[@dakotadasch772]

Das a good guy wit a good attitude 💯👍

[@christianyork5385]

I bet he's is fun af at the bar

[@izrael2321]

He's definitely a good guy

[@kellywilliams3282]

Pontiac we build excitement, he'll yes

[@chrissmith7730]

That's awesome! Super cool dude!

[@badcobraracing]

Congratulations Fast Eddy! Great video

[@dajobra]

I like this fast Eddie guy, no excuses for anything and claiming every mistake he made

[@davidnewton3485]

The mph says it all .. stout street car without any doubt !!

[@Takeithome345]

Launches perfect !!!!

[@Steverex527]

what a legend !! brilliant personality ;)

[@toby9310]

Well its safe to say that car will have lost its handling capabilities synonymous with British sports car handling :P No all jokes aside this guy is fantastic! What a bloke! And what an engine!

[@michaellk2254]

What a quality guy

[@3dwezzy740]

Dude got a jet engine on his car

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Great I have no neighbors into cars any more my most recent neighbor past away which still makes me sad cause he was a great guy. I will forever miss him.🙌😭

[@ReconVette19D]

I would have watched without the photoshop, but awesome car, such a genuine guy!

[@rhinomate8026]

Nice car setup for your turbo

[@SforSytosis]

This guy is a riot! so cool

[@Bacon676]

That thing is comically stable and straight down the track. It's almost like he built the suspension setup to handle exactly what the car makes in power or something...

[@wheelsfetish]

I surrender !!! Good fo you for having fun fast Eddy. The owner of the Nissan RB25DET TR6 swap.

[@daviddennison3647]

Love that car! Cool

[@glennsosinske3260]

Wisconsinites, and Minnesotans are the best neighbors. Doncha know there now hey?

[@SunfishForFish]

I'm going to do drag week this year in my Chevy powered F100 can't wait

[@js4887]

Cool car and fast I like it

[@ASSETTO_EDITS]

This dude is awesome

[@bentripn]

Nice guy, nice car and good video.

[@koolerthanapolarbear]

what a nice guy

[@twrzenski]

He'd be the coolest uncle haha😎🚘

[@andrewcastelein9072]

Man if he could launch that thing and stay on it he might be low in the 8s

[@michaellittlejohn8723]

So ... Exactly what part of High 8's is SLOW ? Nice Ride Fast Eddie !

[@michaellittlejohn8723]

Also , What was his week Average ?? I'm thinking 9.25/9.30 area . Pretty dam good with NO major issues, "Sweet Eddie", is what they should call you.

[@noemartinez5111]

"Damn that guy is fast"

[@ebbonemint]

I’m so damn glad he didn’t wreck.

[@TrickyCustomer]

When turbos stop being turbos and start becoming jet engines

[@azuritet3]

YES!!! Dye your hair green. Own that shit.

[@slimedfries5234]

My dad is friends with this guy he still has the same block in it today blown head gasket though

[@crowvelle]

What a fucking cool guy.

[@colinread5451]

Minnesota, ay😎

[@PolarisEricson]

Colin Read heard it right away.

[@drewhampton787]

Kinda look like a mad scientist with a kool car of course

[@MyLonewolf25]

7:30 GLD BABY! Represent!

[@blaznmax8877]

Fast Eddie my new fav

[@Dagashi6669]

That suspension is DIALED! There's almost zero weight shift on launch and it just stays flat through the whole track.

[@LT1derland]

this guy is awesome!

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Interesting combination, but it really works!

[@taylorbraiden8088]

anyone else see that massive smoke cloud in the back when they're dragging?

[@taylorbraiden8088]

@6:37

[@emmanuelsoto2565]

Where do you even get turbos that big

[@2_fitnesss523]

Goddamn what a nice car

[@robormiston2841]

I like that guy.

[@EazZiB]

This guy is Fucking crazy I love it

[@Kawiobs]

What a cool guy

[@williamsanders468]

I need to see some Sonnys 700 cu in motor with 3 143mm turbos
