FL2k24 Pregame : James Taal, Promod Jim, Brett Lasala, Doug Cook | Event Pregame EP5

[@blackphillbuilt8382]

James really does need his own episode. My boy is so underrated and I’ll love to know his story.

[@Sycoformallyargo]

He did one with vice grip. But yet cooper needs to run dat view

[@Tylerbfz]

@@Sycoformallyargoyeah but vice grip isn’t drag race oriented where cooper is and that’s James entire life/passion.

[@codygalloway9597]

​@Tylerbfz well he did want to know James story lol thats his story on vice grips podcast he did. Actually gave alot of insight i thought

[@MikeY77z28]

Oh yeah!He sounds like the old nascar crew chiefs finding the gray areas of the rule book to cheat.Very intertaining.

[@karsonrivers9880]

@@MikeY77z28that was the whole thing if it isn’t in the rules saying don’t do it it isn’t cheating everyone else just wasn’t smart enough to think of it. That’s always been my approach but you also can’t cry when other people find stuff you didn’t think of in the grey areas.

[@thomasvittetoe1930]

Jack stand is a pro of reading between the lines

[@edgarperez630]

He’s a grudge racer, gotta always be in the grey area

[@philb5593]

Radiator full of lead, alternator in passenger seat, just crazy stuff

[@rb26xs14]

“It says retain an H pattern, but it doesn’t say if it’s gotta be a vertical or horizontal H” 😂

[@adamklaue6483]

James really does need his own episode. He's eluded to his past and it's pretty freaking awesome.

[@brians48now]

alluded

[@tronmcrae]

Definitely need James solo podcast episode. I'd like to see Zach, Tye, Emilio.

[@gasparsperformance9841]

I love how Jack stand always finds the grey areas in the rules.

[@ThatTurboZoh]

It’s that Professional Racer mentality

[@Grimslife89]

James is still one of my favorite people in this whole racing crew that I watch her on KZbin. Zero fucks shit‘s gotta be done. Why are we talking about it? Let’s go..

[@Sinixstar]

I've said for years, jackstand is the greatest youtuber who isn't on youtube. it's hilarious to me. His in-car commentary is top notch, he makes every channel he's on way better. Dude is great at youtube, but not a youtuber.

[@Stevenk770]

James needs to have 2 episodes, one for his story and the 2nd on how to drag race and interpret rules 😂😂. He will need a few beers to keep hydrated too 😂

[@Omarsandtoes]

James is the definition of someone who loves what they are doing for a living!! Let’s go Jackstand!!!!

[@dagrumpz8661]

Jackstand knows so much about so many things it's insane. Everyone knows their thing, but he knows the other combinations just as well as LS.

[@justinmurphy7173]

These pregame episodes are always the best.

[@matthewray5093]

This is such a great episode. So many different points of view of racing and how the sport stays compatible and entertaining for fans. Bret is to the point by default with the contrast of James’s Street, no time, import, grey area on racing is such a great interview. Both with common goals and different avenues of achieving them. Doug is the poker play, Cooper is obviously the host. I don’t know promos Jim to describe his roll. If Victor was there, he would have been the referee. Cooper, you really have yourself a platform here. Great job

[@kylenoell8477]

1:26:52 Super cool of cooper to let jack stand rip his car whenever.

[@obsidian....]

🤣

[@jdias51]

grey zone Jimmy lmao

[@brianturner4949]

We need a one on one with James Taal

[@mvpgarage2944]

Coming in late, but I love when you guys do these pre-games. I’ll put it on and just listen to you guys talk about racing and break down the classes while I wrench on my own stuff

[@Clarkritenow13]

Great episode love the collection of minds to see how everyone looks at the event and rules! Thanks :-)

[@RealSVTJunkie]

Coop has a all-star team on the show today 💪

[@bartrutledge3364]

Coop I’m 30 minutes in and the bell hasn’t been rung for mentioning Lasala

[@Axial32]

Should have made Lasala ring it himself. Lol

[@alwaysbebatman]

Holy crap!!!! James said he likes a ford!!😮

[@shawnjohnson7077]

I mean his old sleeper was a ford Fairmont...

[@tda024]

​@@shawnjohnson7077 Jesus, I forgot all about that Fairmont!

[@imagri1]

Another good podcast.

[@trentbaldwin5798]

Best one yet!!

[@codygalloway9597]

At 30:40 when they are talking about put the conventional big block in mullet in 2 days jokingly but james knows its not a joke lol as we speak that engine is probably getting thrashed on to be finished lol

[@riinche]

i like these podcasts so cool

[@jerryraycrane]

Well my morning is off to a good start

[@RicoCantrell]

Great episode brother.

[@TheDrMayonnaise]

We NEED a James solo episode

[@mobbandit4603]

James fan boying super hard 😂 I love it Brett chims in Jack stand like np Brett like yeah ❤

[@robinwendt5527]

Yea Doug but you didn't have a working alternator on the OBS

[@jrose152]

We need a jack stand episode and ask him what type of rule bending has he done. He’s the best at grey areas.

[@wolfemancola]

I'm more of a Rear wheel drive guy, but I still like the unique stuff like Bradley Dillon's 7-second Dodge Neon SRT-4 that still has the Chrysler 2.4L with over 1400whp

[@___steve4854]

come on coop get james in for his own episode

[@josephfamularo469]

Hair looks soooo much better coop!

[@HyperformanceRacing]

James really is just the shit man!

[@MattSarafin]

What a rack of guys!!

[@justinbliss5093]

Toyota all trac is an AWD Toyota Celica

[@Kodi5204]

With advancements in technology, drag cars are becoming increasingly faster, resulting in lower times at the drag strip. However, there must be a limit to how fast these cars can go, as there is only so much you can reduce the time unless you're dealing with concepts like time warping.

[@brianpires6510]

“Don’t be scared if the rain, it’s there and then it’s gone” Except that one time I was at BMP back in the day for Cleetus and cars and it rained all day 😂

[@kjah06]

Typically James looking for the grey 😂

[@Smokey72013]

Any racer or competitor is looking for Gray

[@Mikewitthecoupe]

Banger 🔥🚀

[@superiorautodetailing]

Jackstand is insanely knowledgeable! The entire Cleetus crew are just the perfect storm of a racing team! It's like they just all fell into place too. Besides Coop, there's has been zero turnover on employees or more like team members!

[@jasonwest6150]

Seeing that garret or clettus was out helping my state in this time of need made me like him more. West of me in nc is catastrophic devastation

[@johnslawnseasttn4489]

East TN here yeah it was awesome. We've seen him in Bristol twice but wish him even more luck for helping us mountain folk out this weekend. Stand up dude him and his wife

[@sandy_built]

Been waiting for this to drop 🔥🔥🔥

Anyone know which video James was referencing with the BMW no prep race?

[@mxmang]

This would be kinda a cool radio show once in a while.. Kinda like 'project our parks' on jre

[@xx11seczxx]

Need a Troy jr episode

[@TunedToDoom]

All the heavy hitters

[@travisslion5006]

Curious how the weather goes..

[@2jzkatie]

Jon’s coming. Victor left him off the list 😂😂

[@JayMac]

The real problem with the last awd race was the rules. You can't have a tire crack rule and chase is a race they're cancel each other out lol.. Kyle literally jumped in an ev and they reran it 🤣🤣no hate it all boiled down to cleets lack of no prep experience.. Limpy would have laughed Kyle off the track if that happened this time 🤣

[@iancameron415]

Poor Ruby, pushed back by n a corner again. McFlurry not in any classes because of fuel.

[@BlownSkillet]

Felt a little animosity from James toward Brett…no secret that James is no fan of the Coyote.

[@Ole_CornPop]

Your seeing things that just aren't there, James literally races a Coyote Mustang called McFlurry. Lmao, derpy derp. His preference is just LS but he's built numerous Ferd engines.

No coverage on FLO or KZbin. Might as well cancel the event. So many blow-ups, oil downs and wrecks this is a hard event to attend.

Honestly hate the rules make the racing closer id rather watch the fastest car you can build destroy the rest

That's how you kill racing lol the same 3 dudes would win a few years in a row and people would stop wasting their time. Then the event dies because no one shows up

[@chuckg5785]

Ask Doug can he run a 6 second pass with a factory cam ? Lund racing run 6.7 with the factory gt500 cams and ecu in it !!!! Your LT4 suck AZZ and LS junk is a piece of 💩!!!! Coyote for the 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
