Duct Tape Drags 2023: Flat Towing, Bus Adventure, and Missed Shift.

- I took the DIY Funny Car (Jeep) to the Duct Tape Drags in Tucson, AZ. Of course, just getting there was an adventure, because I decided to flat tow it behind the 1953 Kenworth Bus. Even though a lot of things went wrong, the important stuff went right. It was a big adventure!
I really appreciate David Freiburger for keeping this show going. I really like the atmosphere, and having my car judged by him and Steve Dulcich was one of the highlights for me.

I wonder if you realize how much joy you bring to others by watching your genius and problem solving talent.
Thanks for another fun adventure.
*- Agreed, Joseph. Thanks for saying better than I what I was thinking, too.*
Man, that’s awesome to get such high praise from Mr Freiburger. Well deserved. Bravo! Looking forward to the next video.
This was another excellent mini-series I binge-watched. Honestly, I cannot get enough of this phenomenal channel.
Dude! The Jeep did an awesome job and so did you especially considering the little bit of practice you’ve had in it. Drive on man you’re the best in my book!
for sure!!
Watching you shift the gears with acceleration building, seeing the rival car over your shoulder going even faster makes an exciting action movie
That bus is really cool, you've done a great job getting it back into reliable condition. And your backyard gasser is awesome, I think you should keep your eye out and try and horse trade yourself a big block for it. Or maybe turbocharging? I'd love to see the way you go about building a turbo kit with only used/free parts, your skillset and attitude makes for great learning and entertainment. Regardless, a great video from one of my favourite channels.
I reckon a compressed air supercharging system could make a lot of power gains, and he's probably already got all the necessary bits laying around.
Dude, you're awesome!! I've been trying to break into 13s with my 97 5.2 AWD ZJ and its not easy to do without spending lots of cash which isn't happening.. I can't wait to see what you're gonna do next!!
Thanks for the towing review along with your race results!
Definitely a win, win, win, win, win. On the edge of my chair the entire video. One of the bestest on CZcams 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Might look sketchy but in reality it’s pretty well put together.
In comparison , Years ago they used “muffler molly” exhaust tubing for frame rails and roll cages in the early drags.
“Wild Willie” Borsch of the “Winged Express” Top Fuel Altered was interviewed in a Hot Rod magazine article as revealing that back in the day they just used exhaust tubing or “muffler molly” as he called it, for frames and cages.
If they wrapped it up into the wall they would just cut off the bent parts and weld in new exhaust tubing. Ready for the next weekend.
Interesting story….. scary if true, but Willie Borsch worked at a muffler shop in LA in the 50’s-60’s so the story is probable.
Casual background audio of THE David Freiburger saying you're legit. Big congrats, my guy. You're doing good work.
I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor. I still think your video on the small boat in the kids swimming pool has to be the funniest video I've ever seen on you tube.
Dear LBG
👍👌👏 Yes, I totally agree, you and your vehicles did well. I hope to see you investing a bit more work in the bus. This good old family vehicle definitely deserves it. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck especially health to all of you.
Onward! to Victory!!
I love this channel, all his videos are great fun
Love all the praise from Freiburger! Would have been interested hearing what Dulcich had to say about it too :D
AWESOME Everything you are GENIUS
👍🏁🇺🇸
glad to see you had fun makes me want to try some drag racing
Man, that’s awesome 😊
Without doubt the best magyver man on the tube,👍👍👍
Great Job, buddy! Love your channel!
Hi so much great all round entertainment ,many many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
Excellent video. Enjoyed the racing.
A total go-wrap... but myself, yah, think you could spend a bit more time on the bus as you're probably going to have and use it the rest of your days. TBH, 13 in that jeep is about 13 seconds faster than I'd want to drive it 🙂
Looks Factory
LMMFAO!!!
😆😅😂😂😆🤣😆
You inspire me to learn more about cars. Can’t wait too have a driveway that holds a project vehicle in addition to the daily!
All in all this was a win 👍
That was awesome. What a great event.
Way to go, great watching
I was looking forward to seeing this ever since I saw your car in another channel! Great job!
Nice! I bet that bus was also a conversation starter in the pits!
Well done sir.
Well done.
that was awesome dude, that thing rips lol, i didnt think it being as heavy as it is is would go like that, hooks good,
dont break anything yet, shifts soild, just a damn good build buddy, buss is a champ to thats awesome to, just needs a lil breathing on an she'll be good to the moon an back
Great job. As always
Looks like a lot of fun. Keep racing!
looks like a win win win all the way nice to see a plan come together good job looking forward to the next video
Yep, definitely some extra special bonus wins here!
My memories of racing are that it was always handy to have a few mates around to push your car forward whilst it was in the staging queue. Save wear and tear on the starter!
🤣
That was cool as it gets right there. Thanks for taking us along for that adventure. I know you had fun so you must have done it right lol.
Thanks for showing the world you don't need something new to have a good time! I don't care for the new stuff. Cost to much and is it any better when u crash it? Love your simple style. I have been dragging broken parts over boulders for years. And I don't wanna quit because I have young ones running around. Redirected funds! Thanks
My lord that bus is wonderful, your a great guy thank you.
Excellent, thats the funniest vehicle on the track i reckon, love the mgb suspension, Extremely popular amongst uk hot rodders.
Only the best. That Jeep will cream the competition once you work out the "bugs".
(You are spot on; the inconsistencies were what "threw" your (mental) built in "shift sequence".
It happens to us all, at one time and/or another. That engine is a monster. I know. I ride a ZX1400.)
I love your attitude of seeing everything as an opportunity, even when most would give up.
And the lope of that engine! Sounds similar to the intro to Hot for Teacher
i love your channel. keep it up
Win or lose at the track, that's a WIN!
Like many others i,m sure, i watch many you tube channels. Yours is by far now my favourite as you still do real world repairs and fabrication with tools we all have or can have. Thanks for sharing, please don,t change. Paul (UK)
You have the best Videos.......your DeadPan delivery is spot on.
Amazing as always!!
Fun !
Cool
Praise from Caeser there, from the roadkill gang, them knowing you via content is a true show of your quality!
Awesome adventure!
So awesome
Just out of international interest, the EU plug is 13 pin round with a constant live and a fridge line. The left and right hand side lights are split. I actually like it :o)
Love the bus. That's racing. Been there
Glad everything worked out well for you and I'm glad you're having fun
Good show thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing next time you should put a turbo on the engine I’m sure you can find something in a scrap bin that would work awesome video buddy
That's awesome! And a trip your family will always remember. That's a win in my book!
The fact that you impressed Frieburguer and Dulcich Is impressive.well done.
love it
Great video! Glad you made it out this year and it was great meeting you.
I used the Hopkins trailer light adaptors on several motorcycles, with no issues.
My Nighthawk has 4" bus taillights (LED) added to the ammo box panniers & I wired them to be taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, with the stock (center) taillight wire cut (so it's brake light only}.
Good video, thank you
What is wild is, you're doing this anyway! It is just a little bit more to record it. Well, maybe a little more than that. Thank You J. for sharing your genius with us.
Not too freaking shabby for something that unconventional and built in your garage. Excellent.
Congrats LBG, on winning two times. Bus and Jeep-1 broke-down on the road-0 now that's a win..
I had to watch this one after seeing your car in the background of another video I was watching. Unique stands out.
That was great !Glad you make time to see other home made cars .Fun
What I've seen on you're show you should have a master's degree in engineering.Keep up the great work.Love it
Can’t get enough of this channel 👏🏽
You are the man glad you had so much fun can't wait for your next video to drop
Another Big Win! Right On!
Brilliant and excellent as ever.
Hell yes...Big win...thanks for sharing...
Very enjoyable. I can relate to the later and later and later starts.
Sometimes I have a full year to get ready....and still.........
tHanks for the great video!
Glad to see you had a nice time James!! 😁👍 It was pretty cool to hear them talk highly of your Jeep build! 🔧🔩
Congratulations on Racing Glenn :) also tow bus with Jeep and excellent video too!
Dude, you crack me up. If I were your neighbor, I’d spend 1/2 of my time at your place.
I love that you said the family had an event to remember, not that they had a good time!
Your approach to life is so direct and intuitive! If someone can figure out how to put just a bit of that in a pill and prescribe it to these youngsters the world would get along better ! Keep up the great content!!!
Not to mention they both look great!
Bored at work, only salvation is watching your great video. Every bone in my body wants to tell them to shove it!, fill a big cooler and join you on the road trip!!
I just watched this whole series and I feel like I went on an adventure with you! Great Job! 👍😁
I take it you didn't win?, that's too bad, you'll get them next year maybe, great video,👍, and thanks for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant time, saw you on vice grip garage. Lookin forward to your next project 😊
I saw a guy on Vice Grip Garage's clip of the DTD's, you sure are moving up in the world! All the best to you man!
Man, I watch a LOT of videos with your type of subject matter....and i just have to tell you that you are my new favorite DIY automotive (and Bus! Lol) youtuber... and here is why:
Editing! Very very good! I have a short attention span and even less patience.... i yell at the screen a lot....but not with you! You just blast through the content in a clear and concise way....perfect.
Low Buck: yup....we are the same!
Humor: perfect!
Thanks brother, MotorTrend needs a show with you! Hey David Frieburger ! #roadkill
That's awesome. I'm glad the bus didn't give you much trouble, that could be harsh.
You did a awesome job with everything that you did with the car and bus ..
I am indeed having fun. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for sharing yalls adventures. My favorite duct tape drag 2023 video so far!!
What an amazing vehicle 👌🇺🇸
Dude you need to get a pneumatic air saw ! One of the best tools I’ve ever bought
Way to go James! 🙌
Great job. I love watching your videos. Especially the old military vehicles. The halftracks, the Mutt truck, and the old jeeps. Can't wait to see what's next
Your channel is amazing. The family get tons of adventure. Keep it up can't wait to see the drag jeep and bus in the future
I hear derrick in the background man that looks fun
Definitely need more drag racing videos!
You my friend have stories to tell. 🎩🛡⚔🦁🌄 subbed on rumbs

Nice work on the jeep too
Cheers
Jim
