Street Outlaws NPK Test hits @ Willowbank Brisbane

Here are the test hits from day 1 NPK Street Outlaws in Brisbane @ Willowbank. Most of the USA team getting it down with most of the Aussies struggling.

Looks like the stands are full. Thanks Australia for being such good sports

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

Outlaws are just plain good at the track, and even better on the street! I wouldn’t feel bad about it, they are the top rated!

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Thanks for the upload my good man. I see how the Americans are winning now. They rounded up every Queensland racer who has never been down the track before. It's seriously embarrassing to see so many QLDers unable to make a drama free pass. The Americans have been here for 5 minutes and they are making it look like this is their local track.

[@williambarger8506]

The street outlaws guys are saying the tracks arent really no prep. Still a lot of rubber on the track. That would be an advantage for them. They go fast on ice, you give em a somewhat sticky track, and you get numbers. These Aussie's are used to a really prepped track, with all the traction I think. They've put themselves at a disadvantage.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@williambarger8506 who said it was actually going to be under No Prep King rules? Besides the Americans are clueless to what no prep actually means. Normal is you drive up to the track and you drive on it, i.e. no preparation. A prepped track is when you drag rubber and blast it with something like VHT to improve traction. No prep = normal. What they do is un-prep or de-prep, but it certainly isn't no prep. And yes with more rubber it only helps their big HP engines, not a disadvantage. Most events in Australia don't get any prep at all, especially things like test and tunes or street meets. It is only things like top fuel meets that get any attention the rest of the time it is what it is. That is why I am at a loss as to why so called racers can't get down a track they should be used to, and Americans that have only just arrived have no problems getting a handle on it. As I say is this their first drag racing meet?

@@DodgyBrothersEngineering I'm pretty sure you know the NPK guys are there with the NPK show. Which means it should be NPK rules? I think discovery did a shit job planning this honestly. Nobody seemed to know the format before hand. I know it's different everywhere. Here in the states, we prep anytime fast "slick tire" cars run. We scrape the rubber off the track before no prep events, and it's worse than a dirtry street. To these NPK guys, a track with rubber on it is like being prepped. Sorry the home boys aren't doing better. Love what I'm hearing about the Aussie people and you country though. Enjoy this, as hard as it was to make happen, I don't think we'll see NPK out of country anytime soon after this.

[@williambarger8506]

@@DodgyBrothersEngineering Also,I have to say this. We invented no prep racing. We made the rules. Clueless? Really? It seems you forget that the guys that started this are street racers. No prep= no rubber, no glue. Asphalt or concreate that is bare. That is no prep. Damn track racers, always think they know everything...even in another country...

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@williambarger8506 to be perfectly honest most of us have no idea why they are here. There has been zero planning. No advertising (that I have seen) to say the Americans are coming over to grudge race, or to street race, or to no prep race. Nothing, even the drag strips have no information regarding the event, and most drag strips have event calendars. The only reason that any of us know that the Americans were coming is because we might follow one or two of the SO KZbin channels. I don't think anything has even been mentioned on any of the shows because they are always a mile behind. First time I saw anything that remotely looked like a confirmation that they were coming was when a random callout from some bracket racer I had never heard of before showed up in my feed. I had no idea if they were bringing NPK cars or they were bringing bracket race cars. There are none of the "street cars" that were on the show that can be driven any distance. Some of what they are competing against are actual Australian street driven cars. Not pretend street cars, actual street cars, as in drive them on the road, not 30 miles for a show and overheat. So you ask why I question if it is under NPK rules. Well because most of them aren't even NPK cars. I know we don't have any NPK cars. The closest thing I have seen so far to a NPK car is John Zappia's 20+ year old wildbunch / doorslammer car. A race category that developed about 30 years ago to race other cars of similar style. Generally steel bodied fibreglass panels and a big blown engine. One of the cars I saw Farmtruck race didn't even have a hood scoop, it was a genuine Australian street car (as in it has to pass inspection to be driven). None of your so called street cars would pass in any state of Australia, in fact if any of your cars were driven in Australia they might be crushed. They have laws here that allow that. One of the cars I saw Farmtruck race at Willowbank was a thrown together piece of junk with a thrown together engine. It was done as a budget build for a YT channel it is not worthy of a shop built 632. Then we get to the "racing" well this is certainly not NPK racing with the getting the hit and giving a couple of truck lengths. This is more like a JJ's arm drop. It would make more sense if they had someone standing out the front with a flash light than it does holding this event at the drag strip. But as I have said I think this is a private track hire and not a sanctioned drag racing event, why not pull out the Christmas tree and make it look like something on the show. I understand why it is not being held on the street because that would never fly over here. Very very much doubt you would get the permit.

[@billyj9168]

Aussies need some traction control installed, they would go so much faster. Stinky pinky got that fine lil thang to help line up, also thanks to the camera guy! Well played boys all around!

[@10ESS78]

Cheers mate, not a lot of no prep stuff happening here but it’s starting to get traction, pardon the pun lol. It’s always good to have nice things to look at 😀

[@billyj9168]

@@10ESS78 haha right! Hopefully they make this an annual event. I really enjoy looking at all the different cars, very nice people too.

[@10ESS78]

We feel the same way, would be great if they do. Drag racing is huge her atm with the radial scene going off so I’m sure there room for more no prep. All the US cars and drivers family and crew are awesome.

[@RobPsi747]

I like Stinky pinky's style! 👀🤙🤣

Has Shawn been taking burnout lessons from Victor Bray?

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Hurts to say this as a Aussie. The Aussie cars haven't got a chance. If they had cars that were a closer build to the SO cars it might be different.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

There are faster cars here, but they are too embarrassed to be seen in this dog and pony show. So you get to see the wannabes instead. What turned up to Willowbank is a joke.

[@awesomeness8206]

[@stephenpage-murray7226]

The fast cars don’t meet no prep rules. The Aussies are using 20 year old burnout cars and street cars. All the fast cars have fibreglass bodies and ineligible

[@nalley6815]

@@ac1dburn698 no I mean several years ago they could definitely be considered street cars as long as they get down the road and don’t overheat. But these new cars are just too similar to promods to run down the road all the time. But then again look at Tom Bailey’s promod….. runs thousands of miles a year
