Race Week Day 1 & 2! - 300 Miles In a untested Turbo Fox Body Mustang?

That hearse with the coffin for a trailer is the coolest thing ever!

Caught my eye too, looked it up. 1300HP twin turbo LS Caprice hearse!! Gonna have to look up some videos of that thing making passes.

It's a 8 second car the driver is awesome 1320 talked to him alot

[@ZGryphon]

Yup. I've always wanted a hot rod hearse, ever since my father told me about a high school friend of his who had one.

[@jfv65]

That hearse + trailer(!) at 3:50 is just awesome.

Wow. The last two years it's been run I've followed R.M. Race Week with just Cleetus and his crew. Now we got the MRW and VGG going. Excellent.

[@bobbywalter5320]

Yes.... excellent.... excellent.

[@davedammit5404]

These race weeks are only getting better as we see more content from our favorite builder-developers. The camaraderie and shared humor between such a diverse set of characters makes this region of KZbin the most compelling to watch. Derek meeting up with Cleetus without stepping all over each other is just the best.

This is so American, it is mind blowing for a German fella. Remember: We´re the ones with no speed limit...just imagine the cruising speed you guys could achieve here:) Best Regards from your increasing Fan-club in Germany:) Tobias

I was following cleeter and the gang for the last couple of these. But it is VGG and MRW this year who I look out for first. I am rooting for a feller to do well.

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

A feller can take an electric impact and a big socket, stick it between the tire and the opening, hit the trigger and let er buck. The socket will turn along the tire and roll the arch perfectly.

[@johnstutz4458]

3inch pipe or a baseball bat works too

[@xxIONBOMBxx]

An old wood slugger works best, dont ripple or tear the panels cause its smoother, and things got the ol 2 size fits all. Drop the air on the tire a wee, jack her up a bit and get to rollin

[@ironpony42]

Loving the adventure - All the Race-week style events look amazing. It's nearly enough to make a feller want to build a budget race wagon and join the fun. A Country Squire that can fly. Or a really cheap and nasty Plymouth wagon from the early '70's with a monster Mopar power plant. Build something that hauls, and hauls. Eliminate the need for a trailer. I'm sure there are some great examples of that out there. But then I noticed even some wagons had trailers, like that massive hearse with the coffin trailer. So perhaps avoiding the constant load in / load out of all gear at every track makes the trailer the right move no matter the vehicle used. That's a lot of work saved.
