Derek was the perfect addition for this years 1.0 race week...

[@statementleaver8095]

9:30+ Dez - Cleet 'here's your 20% 😂🤣😂🤣

[@didtheyexpectustotreatthem574]

jackstand excited for VGG's run is perfect

[@BBossman1]

Its really great y'all brought Derek on board for this, I hope he stays as part of the team.

[@aspalovin]

Dude's a riot! Best automotive personality on the Toobs!

[@didtheyexpectustotreatthem574]

100% agree

[@JesusisJesus]

Derek is hilarious, great value. I’d love to do a thousand miles in a car with the guy. I think the fun would never end.

[@joshjammer5716]

And he can drive. 🤘🏻

[@stevebauer6293]

Derek and El Toro were meant to be. That air ducting work on the fender was hilarious!

[@aspalovin]

No doubt. Not only hilarious but smart. He and John have made El Toro their own. Lovin the stickers!

[@jmatzen06]

Really helped out the intake air temps on the road honestly

[@andrewobrien6282]

I hope they get to continue ripping it together for years to come. What a duo.

[@jmatzen06]

I think he wants to build something of his own to continue to do the race week/drag and drive type events.. but I’m sure the offer is open to drive el toro whenever he wants

[@koryschneider8765]

It makes me so happy to see James cheering Derrick on supporting the man at the line. Love to see it! Hope y’all continue to have that man around for years to come

[@saganworshipper6062]

If Derek doesn't bring John on a revival video I will riot.

[@lilhick3]

Hell bring the whole motion crew on, just all of them in a field drinking beer and wrenching

[@1975napier]

Derek, John and El Toro made the perfect team. After all this, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Derek driving El Toro. Much respect for the whole Motion Raceworks team.

[@TGSamantha091]

Agreed

[@mikeorr3333]

Can't determine if it's ATF or oil???? Ask Derek to taste it, them buds are calibrated.

[@saganworshipper6062]

lmao, that would have been the funniest shit ever. Hey Derek can you taste this dipstick for us?!?!

[@Fizzyjester1]

@@saganworshipper6062 Well yep and he would tell you how many miles it has done by the taste too

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Vise grip is the coolest cat. And jackstand is worth his weight in gold.

[@likilikiki]

We're gonna need some Don't tell Doug shirts... just saying.

100% 🤣😂🤣

[@saganworshipper6062]

Yea, and "Hi Chad" shirts too lol.

[@BobWiersema]

The second speed boat I bought was named "Don't tell Rose". Give you one guess what my my ex wife's name is.

[@turbotempest4095]

Derrick need to build a 60's Buick for next year. With some Motion parts sprinkled on.

[@Sunpetal4ev]

Excellent idea!

[@aspalovin]

Pick up that Chevelle frame he showed us on the Tom Bailey tour and re-frame Independence!

[@nodorf3778]

@@aspalovin Independence will stay as a burnout car, but according to an instagram post from VGG, there are plans for something.

[@RoCkR09]

@@nodorf3778 he said on the summit drag week that he may take independence after he found a new frame whilst driving the ice cream van

[@aspalovin]

Invite Derek for the week. Be surprised when he installs a drain cover on the fender. Be even more surprise how well it worked. Lovin it! VGG Nation! That Nova is a total monster. I feel bad for Andy. Lotsa broken stuff. He's doin awesome hangin in there and turnin wrenches to stay alive!

[@deerespetes8849]

Maybe should have gotten a plunger in case of drain clogging

[@erikalbertson7483]

El Toro is a serious unit ! Derek is killing it as well ! Nice work team !

[@djbazinet8758]

I don’t think anyone in the world is fit to drive El Toro. The car is so perfect for Derek. It just wouldn’t look right without him in it. Awesome to see you guys showing him love.

[@bren-xmotorsports55]

Subbed for giving VGG a week he'll never forget

[@jasonwest6150]

Well ill be dipped. Got a wobble pop and a good vidjio to watch.

[@gt1man931]

That was impressive for Derek in El Toro, that guy never stops trying to learn and improve, proving he was a worthy choice to pilot a quick car. It doesn't hurt that the fans love him. I expect to see him chomping at the bit to build a car, maybe even for 2.0 That Nova is gorgeous, and I'm not even a fan of that early 70s body. Too bad for the GT zero team, that was a struggle from day 1 and it just never liked any setup on those tires.

[@aspalovin]

Let's toss some props to his crew chief John. He is doin a helluva job dialin that beast in.

[@77marioland]

If a guy was to build his own car to drag race in, it would probably be a chevelle... or not.

[@awthompson80]

@@77marioland I’m thinking a Buick or a Chevy truck.

[@njovwevnjweV]

I think I heard Derek say he was going to try to get the 777 car ready for drag week. I could have mis heard him or maybe I was just dreaming lol

[@gt1man931]

The 777 would have to be butchered up, redone, and I think he bought that to save it for its historical significance. I would not expect him to use that.

[@FrethKindheart]

The editing and the sound quality of this video really put you there in the action. The echo of the announcer. The conversations going on. Excellent work! Congrats to Derek for the amazing run.

[@Powershift]

The Motion team KICKED ASS!!!!

[@aspalovin]

Is that the fastest run in the 8.50 class? Congrats to Derek and John either way. Drain cover power!. That's a sweet shitbox Motion built!

[@auskilluminati333]

Motion boys all got a trophy

[@ericstone8812]

Please make this Motion Raceworks Raceteam, Doug, Derek, Cleetus and Brent, Jackstand and George. This group individually makes awesome content of the same event but it never feels like the same video and together enhance each other’s videos. Congratulations can’t wait for 2.0

[@saganworshipper6062]

The way Doug's car leaves (on a proper run) so flat level is just a thing of beauty. Pure sorcery. Just like a missile being fired. The whole fleet of "street cars" is just super impressive. Derek is just a natural when it comes to going fast. The guy led the first 10 or so laps of the Freedom 500 and now he's shredding it on the drag strip. Please sell him that car!!!

[@nodorf3778]

Nova is a freakin' beast! And really beautiful too. I was so happy for Derek when he nailed that 8.52. But, damn, Andy needs a break from the string of bad luck. I felt so sad for the dude, following y'all during the week.

[@jmatzen06]

There better be a huge tire fire tomorrow at work destroying those stupid slicks

[@nodorf3778]

@@jmatzen06 No shit! Put that thing back on radials asap!

Just want to thank all of you guys for taking us along for the ride !!! Everyone's channels. And a big hello from southwest Florida

[@sf98]

Way to go Derek. Shewwwwwwwwwwww buddy.

[@jonlennon3348]

Damn Derek is killing it. An 8.52 when he dialed in at 8.50 is saying something. Drain covers work everytime.

[@RearEngineShop]

Derek did really good in El Toro. This whole week looked like so much fun.

[@MullinPerformance]

New billet drain covers coming at motion race works

[@aspalovin]

lol, And they will fly off the shelf. Track proven!

Gotta have a VGG emblem engraved in them...

I love the mixing of all these KZbin channels - the dynamic are on point! It's awesome!! Top work gents It's been a fantastic journey to watch 👍👌

[@brandongreene3213]

Derek's grinning like a 14 year old who just found his first girly mag lol. All y'all doing some amazing stuff out there.

[@h20base]

You guys did great, Thanks for letting Derek the apprentice racer play with el toro..I am impressed..

[@aspalovin]

He's a natural

That frickin Nova is a rocket ship

[@delbutler885]

Only thing missing here is the Vise Grip Garage pit crew of Jessica and the boys.

[@irav4u]

Jessica was in the chat as we watched it live- she and the boys were/are so proud

[@timlindgren8264]

Shoutout to John, getting the job done behind the scenes. Derek and John were the perfect team for El Toro. Much respect for team El Toro for a job well done. Never ‘give up Andy’ just keeps on battling, very impressive it ain’t over till it’s over attitude! Mr. Doug that is one badass Nova, can’t wait for 2.0! James and Red the best of the best for crew support!

[@DavidH-D]

I’d be willing to wager that El Toro will find a new home in Minnesota/Wisconsin after race week!

[@TheFrankthetank18]

I don’t think so, I bet Derrick builds his own racin rig. He just doesn’t know the coyote enough. Plus I don’t think Motion will sell that car.

[@DavidH-D]

@@TheFrankthetank18 You are probably right

[@jacobschillig7290]

I love ol Jackstand becoming the Motionworks team crew chief since he broke everything he was driving. Invaluable asset right there.

Then you get a bit of James, Cleetus. It's awesome!. The Nova really is a nicely presented machine 👌

[@stevenmyers2252]

Completely agree. Came for Derek and enjoyed watching him but also have now subscribed to the motion channel. That nova is such a beautiful car and it's insanely fast. Can't wait to see it continue. Also now I'm looking for a nova because of it, not joking.

[@saganworshipper6062]

@@stevenmyers2252 100% agree! The way that Nova launches is just a thing of beauty. It just hooks and goes. Now I know why so many of these guys have em, like "Murder Nova" yea, I get it now! Came here because of Derek, now I'm hooked on Doug's car. I would never bet against that car and it seems like it can potentially handle quite a bit more, which is f**ckin scary!

[@Sunpetal4ev]

John and Derek made a great team! Doug is lucky to have such a fantastic team of people that actually seem to love what they do. Makes it all the more fun to watch.

[@karriesetser9384]

So glad Derek was given a chance to do this. Thank you and love the entertainment.

[@dalehannon4922]

Good work Derek drain covers make the best coolers.

[@sercasti]

Doug's nova is so well built, such a nice car. LT engine, 7.5 to the quarter, no problem. Also you have to admire Andy, he doesn't really give a f*** about blowing the tires 2-3 times on a pass, without feeling a single instance of fear, he will stay on it, hell bent on pushing it

[@DavidH-D]

Congratulations all around Team Motion!

El Derrick Toro ...the Spanish Fly!!! 😂😂😂

[@DHarri9977]

I've been watching all the different drivers and videos all week I do have to say that guy "Red" knows his stuff, he is a God-send when it comes to his knowledge of tuning and adjustments concerning the suspension, angles and overall troubleshooting. Doug, you always do a great job, Derek is the breakout driver of the week.

Let's give some credit to the guy who shot most of this footage. This is good camera work. It feels kind of like a documentary.

[@MrUltraworld]

ElToro. The cost and labor per horsepower ratio is astounding compared to the rest of the fleet. Built in a couple weeks and less than a second slower than the Nova. Gotta love them 5.0's.
