Hey, folks! ‪@ViceGripGarage‬ and I are hosting the Duct Tape Drags at Firebird Motorsports Park near Phoenix on October 16-17! We’ll have the low-buck drags, VGG burnout pit, evening parties, and more. We are also planning a road trip to the event. I still need to update the official site, but tickets and race or burnout entries are available at tickets.thefoat.com/DuctTapeDrags/Freiburger%27s+2…

Tragic. L&L Classics in Wendell, Idaho, is currently on fire. The place had thousands of classic cars. My contact says the people are safe, but the yard is gone. Here’s my video about the place. I've turned off the ads. https://youtu.be/pm6GqPegl6Y?si=5_06J...

A Chevy 572 for 572k subs! This particular big-block Chevy started life as a GM crate engine, but I have revised it several times. It has taken me to my fastest speed at Bonneville (261.602 mph) and to my quickest quarter mile time (8.501).

In my latest vid, I struggled getting a Chevy exhaust manifold bolted to a new cylinder head. A bunch of commenters told me I needed a manifold stretcher. Apparently this is as old as the hills and I have NEVER heard of it. Wild!

Yeah, I’m giving away my 1969 Chevy C/20 pickup from my latest video, To send off this fantastic truck, I decided to give it its own limited edition T-shirt. This cool design says so many things. Like, “I want to win Freiburger’s C/20.” Or, “Let the longbeds live!” Or, “Action Line trucks are the best!” You can say all those things at once while you’re sporting this cool, limited-time D/F shirt.
