Probley change the oil once or twice ...ends up changing at every track during RMRW lol congrats on the wins guys!!!
Please make sure to send a link of this to Parker Mitchell. And don't forget to highlight "changing your oil"
Just make sure that it will travel on it's side if only for a moment. LoL
If she tips, just spin the wheel the other way and give her some more onions. She'll come RIGHT back around.
those hanging wrench bags are absolutely genius!!!!
I run a Gear Vendors behind a TH400 but.. I don't use it specifically for MPG. Its used to keep rpms under control. When you have a 4.10-4.30 etc gear its a LIFE saver. Less rpm is less times the valve train cycles over the life of the event. Things are so less stressful mentally when you can actually keep up with highway traffic also. I am a 7 time participant 7 time finisher and 7 time podium..so..I dont feel Im talking out of my butt saying this.. food for thought on folks that cant run a highway gear like you do.
Definitely, turbo cars have an advantage with tight converter and tall gears, I should have added that caveat
@@MotionRaceworksOfficial Don't get me wrong.. we appreciate how you are trying to grow this sport👍. A lot of folks look UP to you guys and might interpret what you said as gospel for all and not relate it specifically to turbo car.
Keep up the good work👍
I'm from Sweden, and heck, moving to Murica and participate in raceweek is on my bucket list! :)
I love race week, el toro was a hoot for the way that car came together,
I'm an old man and will never do a race week but that sure was educational for this fan.
Chad and I were commenting on the road how much we liked your little trailer. Those Milwaukee packout cases are awesome. See you on 2.0. 👊
If you’re Derek you bring a set of points and wobble pops that’s it
Points for the wrong car. Even better.
You can pack real nice then roll the trailer over like Derek and John 🤣
And didn't lose the cooler. Lol
Because Jon gave it the man blessing!
Love the content I've been following all your videos from Rocky Mountain race week great job on the win
Your mini-trailers prove that less is more when it comes to drive & race events - kudos! 👍
Can you do a video on the proper rearend and possible gear for a drag and drive event? Spool vs posi? Under 1000 and over 1000 hp. Thank you
YES! I needed this kind of info. Def wanted to know what people typically take with them.
I truly hope to get out to RMRW soon. It’s the number one thing I wanna do. It’s a hike from NJ, but life’s short and it’s a bucket list for me
Live in Massachusetts we need a east coast cruise for sure.
Drag week isn’t that far from you this year.
Thanks for getting derrlick along with youll
I found this to be super useful thanks Doug !!!
That's immensely helpful for someone like me wanting to do a drag week next year.
Awesome tips and info, thanks for sharing your experience✊🍀
What a great video thank you!
Thanks for the info! Appreciated very much!
Great content thanks for sharing, very informative
Good shit Doug! Much appreciated mang.
Great list for ANY cross-country trip! Thanks for the great vid 🕶👍🏽
Beautiful! Well planned out!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Doug. Great video. Nice you took the time to do it.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info Doug.
You bet
Good stuff!!!
Thanks for taking us along the #RMRW2021 adventure! Really great entertainment!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always wondered what people take, thanks.
Just watched the race....sweet...
Shew buddy 🇺🇲🏁🏁🏁😎
"motion now sells dragweek trailers, part #blablabla" I'd hit the buy now button!
On it
Awesome! I'm investing into milwaukee pack out to separate everything I dont have any "car guy" friends to learn with, so this is cool. I hope to run a drag/drive race soon!
Pro tip: Get or make adapters and replace the trailer wheels/tires with your car's spare wheels/tires. You can put a skinny under the trailer for a spare. This saves the weight of the extra wheels and tires to pull.
Very interesting
You forgot the 4 cases of Busch lite to hold the cooler down
True!
Yesssss
Great video 👍👍👍
Smart less is more approach. I’m currently building (collecting the pieces) a 55 Chevy wagon to do these events with and have been wondering if I should get a trailer as I could just pack the car but you just made up my mind I will get a trailer because yes unpacking and packing constantly would suck.
I think you’ve steered me to a powerglide or th400 too.
I’m shooting for mid 10s with my car small block, efi, single turbo as simple as possible.
If you need to take Loctite they do make it as a stick, like a glue stick.
Great Video,best commercial for HPL
Tyranny fluid was #eltoro with the
Powerglide 480 miles in 2nd gear !!!
Packing the trailer Is like playing Tetris... keep it square as possible.
YEP
this guy :"you gotta pack light for raceweek" proceeds to pack 18,712 lbs of equipment into a 2x3 trailer.
"light" is subjective I guess! haha
Just curious about how you transport your fuel? We got stopped on our way to the track one day with three 5 gallon VP racing containers of alcohol. The cop was pretty cool but told us we could only carry 5 gallons legally in that type of container. He stated they had to be in DOT approved containers with spring loaded nozzles and secured by some type of crate or basket ?Anyone else ever run into this?
I'd put a door faces on the back,so you don't need to open top. Also make a wedge or smooth cover out of fiberglass etc to make it more streamline.ThankQ. TkEZ>UK
So handy
Good video. thanks for sharing. I won't be able to do a race week, but I sure would like to see a video on the logistics of a race week. Planning, lodging...what happens if parts are needed badly for overnight shipping. How do you go about that? Do you have vendors on standby prior to the actual race week, or what. Just curious. Keep up to good content, and congrats on y'alls wins. on RMRW 2021.
Great info! Blue Nova teaser in the back. What's the latest on it?
Battery drills/drivers
I have a feeling Cleet will be getting one of these
Support 🇺🇲
you should do one on how not to install trailer hitch with El Toro haha it was bending
Has anyone ever tried to use a lock up convertor for drag week. Like not for the drag racing but so that in high gear you can lock it on the road and the convertor is what makes a lot of heat in a transmission on these events. If you lock it up it may stay way cooler and pull a trailer better.
Another thing would be choose a class that you can run without pushing your car to the extreme limits. If you're running your car on the edge of parts failure point every pass you will most likely break it before the end of the week.
Small fire extinguisher (separate from your fire suppression system) and a small First Aid kit?
Would a set of golf clubs or 3 fit in a trailer that size? It might be good for Raceweek and trips down to Florida. Love seeing these types of videos! Keep up the good work
Put your Explodable stuff in Ziploc Freezer bags. They're tough
How are you guys handling the used trans fluid and oil when changing? What are you doing with it?
This gave me anxiety. Thinking about forgetting to pack something lol
The day leading up to and first day are the most anxious day of your life, fact
hi enjoy the channel. i saw Andy in one of Derek's videos at VGG. he was driving a white #99 Mercedes-Benz. could you please tell me what year and model that is ? also, the year and model of Andy's GTO. both beautiful. thank you
Yep i would have every tool it took to build my car in that trailer (every one i use i am keeping in a cart with a lock top minus fab tools) and it would be something nobody has ever needed that would go bad for me lol
Where can I get something like this
i would love to do race week but i haven't seen a 25 second class yet. and that might be to fast of a class for the Red Turd.
Red Turd class should be a thing
What if your lid was on a slider ??.so as to not unstrap everything to get inside the box
Good idea, then it would be a work bench too
Sweet Doug, I'm curious how much apparel y'all sell with those shipping prices😔😳 $15 to ship a snapback hat? Sad day. Love, love, love what y'all do and would love to support the merch, as soon as y'all work out that shipping😍
Hey! Long story short we are working on it. We stopped shipping usps because they won’t pickup at our shop because we have dogs. The real ups and FedEx prices are that. We are actively working on figuring something out with usps pickups so we can get merch shipping reasonable for y’all!
I'm going to find a little sink so you can say I brought everything plus the kitchen sink
In 1320 Video's clip of your last run of the week, it looked like your front tires were lifting off the pavement when you were at speed. I know you commented that the track was a little bumpy on the top end. Wouldn't there be danger of a blowover when you became that light on the front at that speed? Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your class win and for being the second quickest car in the field. Also, you probably saw Tom McGilton's nice comments about you when you came over to congratulate him on his first place finish in the unlimited class. How could someone involved in drag 'n' drive racing not know who you are? I'm sure he knows about Motion Raceworks even though he wasn't aware of one of the co-owners.
The only thing I didn't see put in that I thought should be included would be a drill with two extra batteries, and some drill bits. Maybe it was just not shown in the video.
I offer custom treardrop trailers, i can build them to house all kinds of welders and air compressors and kegerators, spare parts, spare engines.... whatever the racer needs, they start at $3000.00 bare bones. The teardrop is wicked aerodynamic, ultra light weight and is cavernous inside. We can also paint or wrap to match your racecar
Great info Doug! Maybe some epoxy and duct tape!
First!!!
If your trailer uses the same wheel and tires as your race car BAM two spare race wheels.
👍👍🇨🇱
The only thing you didn't mention was spark plugs.
Seemed pretty obvious when he mentioned the spark plug wires.
you forgot a big ass role of duck tape
That's "Poverty Chrome" or "Saskatchewan Chrome" there Chief. 👌MINT
Still love your work Doug. Greetings from Australia
Douge hey Doug or Doogie, 700 isn't cheap for me, the machine shop has had my motor for 2 months cause it takes awhile for me to save 2300 bucks bro
Looks pain in azz videoing this and packing at same time.......
