Is it NOS when it's someone you like and genie in a bottle when you don't?..

I told you before, but you want me to say it again. I don't mind NOS in bombing away at junkyard motor, or competing in a tough specific class. All others in between isn't for me.... but if you like it, run it. Don't bother what I think... lol

I think it's ridiculous that people with a ton of knowledge and the ability to have a decent budget for the hobby just keep puzzle in together junk...
I think it's hot riding when you're young and you don't have a lot of money or knowledge and you're trying to learn and trying to get a few things together to have fun at the track. When you're old and know better and do it anyways...
What's that called?....

Called FUN.
 
I tell yall what's gonna be fun, it watching it get sprayed with a 300! Shot...THAT I will definitely tune in for!
 
Part of the plan is to knowingly break stuff here not for the sake of breaking stuff, but for showing others where weaknesses are going to present themselves for anyone who is starting the learning curve. Sure, they know better than doing what they're going to do, but I view it as a hands on demonstration for the people who are looking to go "junkyard racing". At least they put a clutch can in the car in anticipation of impending catastrophic failure.
 
I'm sure a portion of this is just to generate views and subscribers

in the beginning he let the viewers vote on what motor - he had the 318 or 383. Viewers went with the 318... so yes, it's viewer generated. But you can see they (UT and Lamchop) are truly enjoying the car and build.
 
I still haven't looked at it yet. Kinda busy day here today. I'll have to check it out when I finally land for a while.

Yeah it is after all how they make some of their living. I got no problem with that. I never saw what the problem was.
 
I have no problem at all with those videos.

They came up with something people want to watch.

Good for them.

Not everyone does.

I didn't think you did. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
 
Would I build a car like them?..... Nope..

But they're entertaining..
And it's cool watching that land yacht sail.
 
Reminds me of being a kid and doing "Mad Scientist" experiments with stuff laying around the house, neighborhood and dumpsters
UTG brings back these fond memories - I enjoy watching these "Mad Scientists" make thing happen with what laying around to include the driver
Nothing wrong with olds farts(geriatric teenagers) having fun like youngsters

It's never gonna run anywhere near a 10 second 1/4 mile, maybe he meant 10s in the 1/8th mile. That would be a reasonable goal for them.

It's already almost in the 8s in the 1/8, yeah 10s are a little exaggerated i think but hey it only has to do it once.

I mean 10s aren't too far off.. 300 shot on a 12s car should get there. Whether it can do it again, who knows. Lol.
