The GM G-body platform is one of the most popular and most easily modified in all of the enthusiast world. But because of those two things, there’s lots of questions that need to be answered and lots of directions that a builder can take. What do you want to do with the car? Do you want to go drag racing? Do you want to go to the autocross course? Do you simply want a car that drives better on the street? All of these are totally options and the crew at QA1 know that.

As good as the G-body chassis is for hot rodding, the modern options for suspension components from QA1 are even better. You can have your cake and eat it to in 2020.

Looking for make a weapons-grade autocross car but want to be able to maybe hit the strip now and again? They have the packages developed to make it all work and make you smile every time you drive your car.

We HAVE OIL PRESSURE! The Record Setting Gen V LT Motion Raceworks Nova Is Back In Action!

Aug 22, 20201320 Videos

We HAVE OIL PRESSURE! The Record Setting Gen V LT Motion Raceworks Nova Is Back In Action!

Well…… it turns out the problem with Doug Cook’s Motion Raceworks Nova may not have been what was originally thought. You’ll remember that this 7 second machine made huge power on the dyno just days before Rocky Mountain Race Week and then on day one of Race Week has an oil leak that made them look at the oil tank, which then made them find metal in the oil. Like smart people they decided that it was time to pull the plug and not ruin this expensive engine. Instead they raced Wally, the awesome FB Marketplace purchased Crown Vic that got copious amounts of Nitrous all week. When they got home the engine came out of the Nova, got sent to the machine shop, and that’s when things get…well…confusing? Well maybe not confusing. Curious? Interesting? Puzzling?

Or maybe it’s lucky. Either way, the engine is back from the machine shop, Doug and the gang are getting ready to put it back in, and they are taking all of us on the whole fun adventure to show just what is going into the beast before it has to get some testing done so it can leave on Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020 2.0 in a few weeks.

Watch the video, hang with the crew, and Doug will attempt to explain just what went wrong and how they fixed it.

Aug 01, 20201320 Event Coverage, 1320 Spotlight, 1320 Videos

LIVE Big Money Bracket Racing For Juniors! The Summer Blast Race Is A Junior Dragsters Only Event With Big Money On The Line.

For the last few years people have been talking about putting on big money bracket races just for the Jr. Dragster crowd, and to answer that call is The Summer Blast race at Beaver Springs Dragway where Jr. Dragster racers will be going after $10,000! Can you imagine winning $10,000 at 10 years old? Or even at 15? Hell no, but these kids are going for it. We’re talking big stakes, killer reaction times, and family for for the weekend. It’s The Summer Blast and all the action is live right here thanks to our friends at MotorManiaTV. Watch all the action below, and don’t forget to like and share and subscibe and ring the bell and rub your belly and whatever else they tell you to do for YouTube videos!

What I love about this race is that there is nothing else going down the track that the Jr. Dragster drivers have to play second fiddle to. This is their chance to be the stars, outside of the Jr. Finals and those kinds of points races. This is all about them, the way it should be, and I imagine the energy there is intense and fun. I bet the parent crew chiefs are feeling the pressure today too!

The Unassuming: The Vauxhall Four-Door That Stomped The World In 1990

The Greatest Drag Racing Wheelstand Video Ever Made? We Think So – More Than Four Minutes Of Bumper Dragging Fury

The Greatest Drag Racing Wheelstand Video Ever Made? We Think So – More Than Four Minutes Of Bumper Dragging Fury

We love wheelstand videos and we know that you do as well. Know who else does? Sean Melton of Urban Hillbilly Action Video and he’s got an archive of footage from his years at the drag strip that boggles the mind. Sean has been cranking out some great compilation videos recently but this is out favorite one yet. As in the other videos, Sean combines great video clips from years back with stuff that he has shot in more recent times.

One of the things that videos like this remind us of is the fact that there’s been absolutely nutty stuff happening, particularly with “small tire” drag cars for some years now. It kind of makes us feel old. Today’s world of advanced suspension designs, tire compounds, data acquisition, and pin point tuning see that the record books are rewritten on an almost week to week basis. The cars are still wild and they are faster than ever but it is always awesome to glance back to see the types of cars and runs that built the scene that we have today. This footage was shot at tracks all over the country and you’ll surely see some cars in here that you’ll remember.

This is over four minutes of non-stop craziness. Guys on one wheel, guys with all four off the ground and landings that range from violent to total plane crash level will keep you glued to your screen. Watching this video with my kids it was a slew of OHHHHs and WOAHHHHs though the whole thing. Grab the other guys in the shop, the other people in the office, or the weird booger eating guy on the other side of your cubicle and press play. Everyone loves this stuff!

All 4 Wheels Off The Ground And Yet Maybe The Smoothest Save Ever! Wild Nitrous Nova Ride

May 16, 20201320 Videos

All 4 Wheels Off The Ground And Yet Maybe The Smoothest Save Ever! Wild Nitrous Nova Ride

When we were at the Throwdown in T-Town this past weekend there was tons of great drag racing, great performances, and plenty of wheelstand action. In fact there were a couple of pretty good saves as some cones gave up their lives in the name of good drag racing. But everyone on the property that saw this big block Nova on nitrous and drag radials pull the front end to the moon and drag the bumper, had their jaw on the ground. This thing came up quick, carried the front end out hard, and buried the rear bumper in the track surface. Before starting to come back down to the ground, both back tires were off the ground and this sucker was bouncing off the limiter. The driver then gave the most perfectly times blip and set this car down on the front end with NO bottoming out of any kind. No sparks, no drama, and kept the hammer down all the way down the race track. It was epic and super fun to watch.

Thanks to our friends at Urban Hillbilly Video, we’ve got the whole thing for you to watch. Check it out below.
