LIL RED TRUCK! BLOWN STREET DRIVEN! '79 DODGE LIL RED EXPRESS!

Kyle Briggs' pro street, original '79 Dodge "Lil Red Express" has that gotcha factor! The stance, the huge rear tires with the skinny fronts all sporting centerline covo pro rims, with a bug catcher scoop atop a dual carb, blown 360ci engine, harken back to the late 70's when the pro street style started a craze that's evolved into the popular pro touring style of today. The sound of the lumpy cam and the whine of the 6/71 blower tell you its not all show. Out for the first time ever, Kyle took it to the Byron Dragway's Plote Drag Day to see what the modified pick could do. Watch as Kyle improves on every pass getting the heavy truck in the low 12 seconds! Say what you want, I still love the pro street look today! 8-30-15

[@rockerneck]

the fact that this truck has been molested so much and only runs 12s is a fucking tragedy

[@AizawaSan]

Jeff Goers its still full weight though with a nice fine tune this thing shoudl run 10.50s with a short weight cut & tune this tune seems mild also only a small blower and sb

[@CS-ir9mo]

Beautiful beautiful truck and fast enough to have fun racing and street

[@tiffanyhendrickson3367]

She's sounds GOOD

[@flynhi39]

For a 360 thats fast for a all steel truck, thats street driven

[@4406bbldb]

Love how you worked over my truck. I worked on the original development. Ok yours is better! :-)

[@kramernaylor1633]

The rims are nice

[@jeremychatelain1878]

Run it solo so it can finish first haha

[@rondellschuyler7074]

Wanna get wild ? Take off the supercharger and add twin turbos. Shoot for the king of the street times. 8s

[@victoryredcolorado]

Yeah but everything has turbos anymore 😕

[@SamsterOne]

Unless this truck weighs 10,000 lbs., I don't know why it is so slow on the track...should be running high nines!!!

[@victoryredcolorado]

I hear ya looks fast but not so much right

[@anunnakielohim2727]

probably not much boost, most likely got the poser pulley on instead of the party pulley.

[@kameronmurdoch1494]

Probably wants it to last and doesn't want to blow it up or roll it or crash it lol

[@joelscaicedo6240]

Con unos guardabarros 👌

[@cherrylove3656]

the first generation of the little red express was the better looking one when they changed the Headlight it lost its looks

[@haresplitter]

Where's the wheelie from the thumbnail?

[@victoryredcolorado]

If you want to call that a wheelie 1:12

[@KevMEGA]

Wasn't that truck was on a racing movie?

[@DragRacingCentral]

Yeah born to race I think. It was a diesel back then in the movie though

[@KevMEGA]

Yeah that's right I remember it was on that movie

[@redexpressracing]

+Kevin Grimes This is not that truck

[@KevMEGA]

Yes it is the same truck

[@redexpressracing]

The movie was Born 2 Race and the LRE in that movie was a Diesel. Not this truck. This truck is a dog for being blown. All show, no go.

[@jd3solutions611]
