Alex Taylor Q&A Session: What’s The Name Of The New ’55 Project? Why Are You Doing It That Way? And All Kinds Of Other Questions, Answered Right Here.

Alex Taylors New 1955 Chevrolet project is being built with two goals. One is to run in the 6’s in the quarter, and the other is for it to run 200 mph at the same time. Will it do it? Why a twin turbo big block? Why built it all yourself? What is the car’s name? These are just some of the jillions of questions that have been coming in hot and heavy since the start of this project and so this video is going to answer a ton of those questions as Alex and Dennis sit down to tell you even more about this awesome and fun project. If you haven’t been following along on the build, then click the link below to see all the episodes.

And if you have been watching, stay tuned as there will be plenty more build episodes coming over the next few weeks. This thing is supposed to be racing in May!

That’s right folks, we’re SUPER excited to be bringing you 5 days of awesome bracket racing from The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the 2021 K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries. While the big show starts on Wednesday, we’ll be live on Tuesday afternoon for the American Race Cars, Todd’s Extreme Custom Paint, Dragster Shootout Race. The winner will take home a rolling American Race Cars 240″ Dragster chassis with a complete custom paint job by Todd’s. This is a big shootout for 32 cars and will be the perfect way to start off the weekend here in Vegas.

We will be live Tuesday afternoon, and then all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for all the racing action. Check out the flyer below for details on the payout and event prizes, but know that Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday racers will be going after $30,000 to win. Friday is the big money Million race which has a guaranteed purse of $250,000 to the winner regardless of entries. We’re pretty sure this race is going to be off the hook based on our last west coast race this year. Given the fact that all the heavy hitters are heading cross country for it as well, this promises to be one hell of an event.

Watch The American Door Slammer Nationals LIVE Right Here!

I’ve driven dragsters, but my first love are door cars. They are fun, can be as quick as you want to go, and they just feel right. I do like the occasional roadster as well, but prefer those with the driver on one side or the other instead of sitting in the middle like a funny car or altered. Good thing for me that the American Door Slammer Nationals are LIVE this weekend thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. Any door car. Any left hand drive roadster. Any reason to have fun. This is a must watch event that you won’t want to miss this weekend.

Held at the famed Piedmont Dragway, this Loose Rocker Promotions event is one of the highlights of 2020. During a year where we have all been cooped up and have had so many cancelled events, this is one of those that feels really good to see happening before we get into the final weekends of racing for 2020. This is going to be a year to remember for sure, and whoever wins this event is going to remember it because of the real money they got to put into their pocket.

Watch all the racing LIVE today and tomorrow right here. And thanks again to MotorManiaTV for sharing this great action with the world for FREE!

It’s time for Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 folks and that means killer street car drag racing starting today! When Hot Rod Magazine cancelled Drag Week 2020, Rocky Mountain Race Week Promoter, Matt Frost, jumped in to get something going for all those racers that had already taken the time off work and planned their trips. While it won’t follow the same route, or visit the same tracks, as Drag Week, it will happen on the same days and is going to feature some kick ass hot rods driving from track to track and racing every evening. And you can follow along by watching all our live streaming video, or you can go out to the track and watch in person! Click the link below to watch all the live racing action all week.

Starting out at Osage Casino Tulsa Raceway park this evening, the racing will go on tonight and then continue Monday at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka Kansas, then travel to Thunder Valley Raceway Park in Oklahoma Tuesday, and then up to S.R.C.A Dragstrip in Great Bend Kansas on Wednesday, before returning to Tulsa Thursday to wrap up 5 days or drag racing and street driving. It isn’t going to be easy on the competitors, but it sure will be fun to watch!

Racing will be live from 4-10 pm Sunday through Wednesday and 3-9 pm on Thursday.

The Green Light: WebMD Highlights Paul Lee’s Journey Back To Driving A Funny Car After A Heart Attack.

The Green Light: WebMD Highlights Paul Lee’s Journey Back To Driving A Funny Car After A Heart Attack.

When our friend, and owner of McLeod and FTI, Paul Lee had his heart attack back in 2016 the NHRA Drag Racing community was shocked. Paul was one of these in-shape guys that you never expected to have a massive heart attack. When it became clear that this heart attack caused major, life changing, damage, Paul went into get back to living mode. That meant massive amounts of physical therapy, conditioning, and more, but with the understanding that none of it would ever allow him to race a Nitro burning hot rod again. His racing career was over, after years of working to get to the very spot he was in right before the heart attack.

He had just signed a deal to race a third Kalitta Motorsports Funny Car and was looking forward to his career in racing moving onward and upward. And then the heart attack took that all away.

We talked to him multiple times afterwards, and can tell you that his attitude toward life and business and growth was amazing, even though he had a very real and apparent disappointment in never getting behind the wheel again. Most people would not have handled it so well.

Imagine his surprise though, when the doctors said his recovery was so good maybe he could make a hit in the race car again! Well that was all he needed to start pushing harder and working with medical staff to see if that could become a genuine reality. Watch this great short film from WebMD to see the journey and learn the story. It’s pretty awesome.
