The Question is Answered, What Team will Reaper be on in 2022 plus NPK finals, New Car & Relevance

Update and a little bit about people who mean nothing to me and never will….

[@littleherkracing881]

James You and Stacy are stand up people and i personally appreciate your Values and ability to say your right and your wrong .!family values ! pulling for you all the way bud ! Play safe and most of all enjoy family and every minute you have life is way to short !!

[@fast97z24]

Talk to the car. Good lord, that is NOT weird. Whomever said that has not built a car. James, I respect the hell out of you. I have learned things about life from you and I have tried to use that knowledge to help myself. Thank you so much for being so open and willing to share.

I talk to my car all the time. I’m trusting it not to kill me at 160 on some sketch road yeah we’re tied at the hip

I agree. My radial car was built entirely in my shop with my three boys and myself , excluding the paint work . I've talked and talked to it , sometimes we fight , but when we both have our sh it together we do pretty well.

[@schuylerwhite5975]

James, I really appreciate you and Stacy, I wish I lived closer to you so I could help you with the cars and racing. Brother don’t let these gum flappers get you down, the best person in your crew is Stacy, she keeps your head screwed on straight. Thanks

Reaper just always remember stress kills don't EVER let them win by stressing you out

[@kanelara1558]

I've met you in Lapeer mi you are a very humble dude you have a great attitude and are one of the best driver's out I don't care what anyone has to say and reaper was one of the baddest cars out there I believe red reaper will be the same just keep being you my brother you have the reaper army behind you fuck the trolls respect from Flint mi

[@ajspak874]

Well said couldn't agree with you more. That's always best of luck getting this car ready I've been enjoying the process and will continue to look forward to see what comes from it.

[@bryantg7641]

I agree with you 100% James. My Corvette is absolutely a part of me and we have an understanding !!!! You and I are most definitely on the same page there !!!

[@jamiejenkins5643]

I can't wait to see that bad boy run!!! I've followed you ever since you tried to race your new car on Street outlaws and they said it didn't fit the rules because they were scared as shit of it!!! And you took that shit and took the higher path and walked away. Love your channel because you are real

[@patricksnookjr.5290]

Now this is an honest video. Granted I don't build race cars, but I do build classic cars. I totally agree that a piece of you goes into every car you build and if you don't create a bond with car. It will fight you every step of the way. Happy for you and your family and the team. Good luck and may God be with you on this journey.

[@Chukkie1967]

You my man are a dying breed, keep doing what you do. Fuck what people think and say. Say what is on your mind and dont care who gets offended. Thats what a man is about. Started following you shortly before reapers demise, and you have given me the spark i needed to make my 67 camaro a healthy street car again and not be a shelf in the garage. Salute to you man!! Now go get that car right and go show them how the average man can make shit happen!!

[@timothybyrom5560]

I have something to say. You're a good dude ,and I admire you for being you. You're living the life I would love to have, and I'll say that to your face.

[@gaviejames7404]

Mr. James I'm glad your doing your own thing I respect you and Ms. Stacey unconditionally . In life you can count your friends true friends on one hand mostly 2 or 3 fingers of that hand. That's just how I've always felt like that on friendship. I wish you all the best and God bless you GavieJames

[@j-dub3294]

I believe in a small circle myself. You correct on the true friends. I can use one hand and have 2 fingers left over.

I’m a loner too but I have friends like you, I am just better on my own most of the time, you doing it on ur own is a good idea , sometimes when you have a personality like yours it is best to be ur own team, I think that is the right choice for you! Now get that car ready, go practice and be 100% ready, that’s what wins championships, I know u have been busting ur butt so get back on it, I’m ready to see u make some practice runs, GO TEAM REAPER!!!!

[@shisnoelite7790]

I can't wait to see you use that new car. Hope it does well for you. I wonder after the hemis dominating so much this last season if there will be some weight changes next season. Things seemed fairly equal this past season and the reason Ryan did so well is because practice practice practice. He tests and tests and he's consistent as can be. Hope you do well man

[@jrwebb9910]

Reaper , love your realness ! Much respect brother!!

[@funblog4185]

James as you already know sleeping 3 or 4 hours a night is very bad for your heart. Just make sure you get your yearly physical and a cardic calcium scan. Its 100 bucks (insurance doesn't cover)at the local MRI place and will tell your artery plaque buildup number and can save your life. 2 of my friends had massive heart attacks at 45 and 40 and one of them is dead. Simple text can save your life... Not saying you don't get heart check ups but I love your content and been watching Street outlaws since episode one.. Want to see you healthy Happy new year

[@johnslawnseasttn4489]

Preach. We are here with you brother supporting you. The only reason someone can bring you down is bc you let them. Team Reaper. Damn we are ready to see that red car turning laps. Always remember if it isn't fun anymore then it's a job, and you already got one of those.

James is always keeping it 💯. Well said as always. Agree that you always gotta talk to a car and it's gotta talk back to you. I also really love the whole under power compared to hemi when I seen you make 3600 rwhp with that old bbc procharger combo, and it had more in it. The Proline hemi prochargers I've seen made 3700 with not much left in them so you gonna be competitive with the weight break. And Tyree as crew chief and Bruders tuning. I also agree about to many people paying for everything to be done on a car and living off of mommy and daddy's money...

[@MidgetPunter]

Let me guess you're trying to imply Justin swanstrom has his mommy and daddy paying for his racing program...which ignored the fact he dad only covers cost to take the car to the tracks...Justin pays for everything else including all the flights, hotels and food for his entire crew. Also a hwmi procharger will make over 4,000 hp. They're not peaking at 3700hp.

As a motor cycle road race tuner your on the right tract.. It has always been and will away be the math, and horsepower to weight ratio is that path.. Force is squared by weight and diameter.. "Just sayin!!" I.E. A heavy wheel needs more force than a light weight wheel to move or stop.. Exponentially

[@timheaps4975]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your moms place and her beloved dogs. There is one thing I love about you and there’s only a few others on that show like you bite it’s the fact your fucking real and your not all about the fame of the show. Keep doing you bud and make the best of what you got.

You to teach me how to get back into the Grove of it and it sounds silly but I Name the car and I talk to it and drive it around so I know and it and know how it’s going to react.

Reaper, I'm not gonna lie, NPK is going to become a victim of it's own success. It has turned into nothing more than who has the deepest pockets and can afford ProLine Hemis. I will cheer for you, if only because YOU DON'T have a Proline Motor. The spirit of NPK is now an Arm's race. I wish that only standard bore spacing was allowed, with the exception of the Nitrous guys. If a car has a Proline Hemi and Procharger, I actively cheer against them. Best of luck with the new car in 2022. I will be cheering for you.
