DUDE, AWESOME SEEING JEFF LUTZ WITH CLEETUS & JACK STAND AND OTHERS IN THIS EVENT! It was so epic and cool Jeff mingling with others, who share the same passions in racing too. What a treat! Thanks for this awesome video 📸. Thanks.
I was really looking forward to seeing you guys whoop up on some veterans with a cast BBC this week. I really appreciate jeff answering my engine questions this week. He taught me some important stuff. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you at dragweek getting that 5sec average!
I’m so bummed about your sick week results this year. Definitely a grueling thing to try and put together. I’m also heartbroken for the Purple Cuda owner. That was a beautiful ride.
max looked sooooooo much better black but I get the whole trademark thing just not a yellow fan myself love watching you race and you and Jr. are for sure a badass team keep up the great vids and good luck in what ever you get into this season
I thought Jr was running the white Camaro, I realize at the end he said he had nothing to prove and it gives him time to figure it out but how come you two didn’t just do it in the Camaro (assuming you had it with you)? Sorry you had a rough time hopefully you’ll be back better than ever next time. You guys bust your butts and sometimes there not enough hours in the day to do everything.
Is drag week in the cards for you guys? My Dad owes Sr. A case of Diet Pepsi for helping with his licensing passes on Saturday. That meant a lot to him.
I am so sorry that things didn't work out. Getting down to what failed first is big, Will you have to go to a Proline engine? Other? Hopefully you can get it all sorted out.
Get with Clay and have him get you some top fuel rods if they can handle 11,000hp they should be fine in your engine. I believe that's also what Steve morris uses in his smx
I love watching big tires and bars but I think LaSala’s car might be the best drag and drive car out right now. It’s really failed in car. Plus he constantly works on it.
I LOVE HOW MAD MAX IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CARS OF MY FAVORITE T.V. SHOW, AND IT'S IN THE SPOTLIGHT ONCE AGAIN! Thanks to the Lutz crew for fixing up and using this sweet piece. Looks good on the track! Keep up the good work 👍. Great video 📸. Thanks.
I Hit the like for the algorithm but it feels so wrong. Glad to see in other videos you stuck around and are in good spirits. I’d love to see one more drag and drive event with you and Tom battling until the last day before you step away. Maybe Steve in the wagon too if he can find a better front half.
kidding aside you guys came you try and it didn't happen that's racing it better to ended now instead of trying to do on the road away from the trailer tools etc your son was right nothing to prove great guy great family great friends more racing to come
Might be time to put that motor on the shelf and go a different route the last two drag & drive events that motor hasnt lasted and has been nothing but problems and takes forever to get fixed or get parts for ditch the combo and go with something that will take the abuse and can fixed within a few days not a few months i mean you even had custom made heavy duty hemi style rods made for it and it still broke one
I am not gonna be disrespectfull and bust balls on what ifs. Congrats to all of you to attempt this event and deliver mind numbing power. What matters is ya'll showed up and put it doen. Did it work out? No. Nothing to be critical about because there was issues..
Man yall gotta stop suggesting that if he put a proline hemi it wouldn’t break. Tire shake rattles the crank and rods the same way it rattles the tires. A proline mh7! Or mh8 can have the same failure as this. These grp alum rods are almost identical to what is ran in a proline. Prolines mh series also arent water jacketed. So it could never compete in a drag and drive.’ Then yall suggest the noonan 4.8 jacketed engine. Yes it woukd work in a drag and drive but a 110k engine that you can only run for drag and drives is an expensive thing to buy. Especially since it’s not interchangeable with anything Jeff runs. His engine platforms are all interchangeable between mad max, the ole 55 the gto etc etc. to put a noonan in there he woukd have to change so much shit and then that engine would be limited to a specific car cause it wouldn’t interchange with anything else that he has and then you spend $120,000 on an engine that you can only use for drag n drives and it can’t make the same power as a solid billet engine so you’re spending 120 grand for an engine to use 10 days out of the year and if you heard it on sick week, nobody has parts for off the shelf to get you going again so then it turns into $120,000 paperweight and you’re still in the same position whereas his current engine set up if you wanted, they could’ve put a spare engine in it. He has spare engines, but like Lil Jeff🤐🤐🤐 said if you start sick week with a hurt motor or platform, it makes the whole entire week miserable because you’re always gonna be chasing what you hurt on day one the best decision they had was a drop out six Summers right around the corner and they’ll have it figured out then.
Never in my life seen so many keyboard engine builders in my life until you get on UA-cam and read comments If yiu put a proline hemi in it it wouldn’t break If you didn’t run so and so’s rods it wouldn’t brake If you put a noonan 4.8 water jacket engine it wouldn’t fail. Etc etc. yell had Jeff s blank check with your signature on it and let him try allllllll these suggestions yall have on your dime.
So many of them just hang off Cleetus' nuts. Anything he does they just parrot. They were all about SMX being the best engines out there until he switched to a Proline. Also they think CJRC are the only people capable of building a fast car as well.
Sadly, not much they can do…. seeing the pressures and torture applied to those parts under racing conditions. Now if that manufacturer is one of their sponsors, then I’m sure they get preferential treatment.
A better machine shop? Not pointing fingers! But you have damaged a lot of motors from west side! Just a comment not pointing fingers at no one. Good luck guys this season in npk!
After spending my guess is about 80000.00 $ anyone should stop the bleeding we all love to watch you because you always put it on kill all I have to say is thanks wish you the best of luck and have a blessed day we were very lucky to be watch you guys
Seems like LaSala is the only one who does 😂 But in all seriousness, it has to be tough. They really got one shot (look at Tom Bailey) so they need to make one pass and get the fastest possible run right then. It's colder than normal so grip is down and power is up. The prep may not be crazy consistent. And it's early in the day. Track temp changes, density altitude. Lot of factors. Look how many people struggle to get down at these events with days of testing and qualifying. I feel like it's a very "shit happens" kind of world and you need to be just about as lucky as you are good.
A little disappointed that the majority of video was about others but I do believe that you are a good man Would like to have more info about what happened and of your crew
You are out Tom is out. I predict Steve will be out next!!! Well maybe the Swed’s will be next with the duck tape glue and straps holding their intake on!! Everyone needs to do what Cleetus and his crew have done this year and buy some piece of junks and have some fun. Winner on Sick week will be Snot Rocket. 🚀
People might be right yeah steve Morrison engines you got noon with the 4.8 and 4.9 you got a pro line. You don’t always have to do the hemi if you still want the weight savings or maybe it’s just time for new billet blocks instead of those old blocks obviously nobody has all the answers you’ve been at this long time. I’m sure you can figure it out on your own.
You wasn't ready, admit it. You waited to the last minute to throw a car together. Nice job making a half ass appearance for your loyal fans. Call me a liar???
DUDE, AWESOME SEEING JEFF LUTZ WITH CLEETUS & JACK STAND AND OTHERS IN THIS EVENT! It was so epic and cool Jeff mingling with others, who share the same passions in racing too. What a treat! Thanks for this awesome video 📸. Thanks.
Noticed that too, one big family.
Congrats on the 5 and thanx for saving us from watching the struggle bus. I was pulling for u and as an observer I feel some of your pain as well
You gave it the all-American try
Thank you for sharing your videos. Drive safe.
Outfreakingstanding gentlemen, great job on everything and keep up the good work!!! 👏 👍 👌 💪
I was really looking forward to seeing you guys whoop up on some veterans with a cast BBC this week. I really appreciate jeff answering my engine questions this week. He taught me some important stuff. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you at dragweek getting that 5sec average!
Thank you for coming out to Canada last year that was a blast
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL !
Damn! I was so looking forward for this race. Well hope things get better for ya!
I’m so bummed about your sick week results this year. Definitely a grueling thing to try and put together.
I’m also heartbroken for the Purple Cuda owner. That was a beautiful ride.
Hopefully you keep the uploaded coming it’s the best part of the day watching the racing
Thanks for sharing!
Although it didn't work as planned, thank you guys for posting the video !. You guys did your Best. See you on the next one !
max looked sooooooo much better black but I get the whole trademark thing just not a yellow fan myself love watching you race and you and Jr. are for sure a badass team keep up the great vids and good luck in what ever you get into this season
I thought Jr was running the white Camaro, I realize at the end he said he had nothing to prove and it gives him time to figure it out but how come you two didn’t just do it in the Camaro (assuming you had it with you)? Sorry you had a rough time hopefully you’ll be back better than ever next time. You guys bust your butts and sometimes there not enough hours in the day to do everything.
Damnit, and no one has hit 5s yet. Was hopeful you would set a record this time out... Sick Summer is right around the corner yet
Should have taken a 7500 dollar car. They seem to be still be in sick week.
That sucks was looking forward to it. Get home guys until the next one
Sorry for the bad news on the motor. But,that's racing for you. Live to Stomp on that loud pedal another day. 👍✌️🤙🤙🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃🤗😋.
Sorry to hear Jeff you and your son had such bad luck but you do have a damn good-looking car and I'd like to see another 224.00
Thanks for the upload , she is a beast, shame about the breakage better next run I'm sure.
Hard to give this video a "Like" after seeing this outcome. I did anyways but I hate it for y'all. Thanks for posting the video.
It would be so cool to see lutz with an SMX doing drag and drive.
Aww man! I was hoping to see y'all bust Toms ass but he's out too. Better luck next year. We still know who the drag and drive master is.
Is drag week in the cards for you guys? My Dad owes Sr. A case of Diet Pepsi for helping with his licensing passes on Saturday. That meant a lot to him.
I am so sorry that things didn't work out. Getting down to what failed first is big, Will you have to go to a Proline engine? Other? Hopefully you can get it all sorted out.
Thanks for the entertainment! Wish it would have ended different.
Get with Clay and have him get you some top fuel rods if they can handle 11,000hp they should be fine in your engine. I believe that's also what Steve morris uses in his smx
Cleetus $7500 Challenge more fun and less expensive. Yall rule!
Door almost flies open……Lutz casually reaches over with left hand hold the door on……Skilz!
That was nothing compared to the steering wheel coming off in the ‘57! Look that one up…. A very real pucker moment and a great save.
I hope you do a video of the engine tear down.
Sucks it ended this way, at least it didnt happen middle of the night on the roadside
I see Jeff sr & Jr r plucking each other’s nevers
I like the Swedes
I love watching big tires and bars but I think LaSala’s car might be the best drag and drive car out right now. It’s really failed in car. Plus he constantly works on it.
Damn, that sucks, guys.
damn man thats a long light
Tough break guys, wasn't for lack of effort though!
Put some radials on the gto and Take it to big Jake’s race Big money has all the big dogs waiting to go
Must be nice !!!!
Nothing nice about working your butt off in order to do fun things!
I am devastated for SNR and i am sad jr is not running
Always another year.
I LOVE HOW MAD MAX IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CARS OF MY FAVORITE T.V. SHOW, AND IT'S IN THE SPOTLIGHT ONCE AGAIN! Thanks to the Lutz crew for fixing up and using this sweet piece. Looks good on the track! Keep up the good work 👍. Great video 📸. Thanks.

Jeff who makes the cordless die grinder you were using on the lifters
Dang it man
Should have joined tom on Garrett's cheap car challenge!
Maby a smaller motor will be fine and better for drag drive events?
The Snot Rocket 3,0 kicked all the big block asses and that on drag radials.
Thats suck , but you'll be back next year!!
And won’t make the full week. Hardly any of the fast guys do.
STEVE MORRIS ENGINE!!!
That’s a bummer. I’d love to see what’s wrong with motor program.
kidding aside you guys came you try and it didn't happen that's racing it better to ended now instead of trying to do on the road away from the trailer tools etc your son was right nothing to prove great guy great family great friends more racing to come

Hey why yall didn’t use the 57? And what’s the plans for the 57?
Damn that sucks, but I guess that’s racing
I have seen forward to follow the Lutz boys true Sick Week but shit happens.
Next year
I am not gonna be disrespectfull and bust balls on what ifs. Congrats to all of you to attempt this event and deliver mind numbing power. What matters is ya'll showed up and put it doen. Did it work out? No. Nothing to be critical about because there was issues..

It's a shame your 2 didn't get the whole week I'm sure you'll figure it out before the next 1 you go to
is that a 2 speed in that car?
Sell the PRO MOD...
Next year bring the 57 out for a different class and enjoy the moment
The engine and trans in the 55 is just about as extreme as Max. It's just got steel roof and quarters if I recall.
Time to ditch the BB ?
God dam I miss the old days when you had if lucky like 5 wires shit there’s as much in your guys cars now a days as the new cars on the road lol
Never in my life seen so many keyboard engine builders in my life until you get on UA-cam and read comments
If yiu put a proline hemi in it it wouldn’t break
If you didn’t run so and so’s rods it wouldn’t brake
If you put a noonan 4.8 water jacket engine it wouldn’t fail. Etc etc. yell had Jeff s blank check with your signature on it and let him try allllllll these suggestions yall have on your dime.
So many of them just hang off Cleetus' nuts. Anything he does they just parrot. They were all about SMX being the best engines out there until he switched to a Proline. Also they think CJRC are the only people capable of building a fast car as well.
Ok Jeff Sr it’s time to turn over the reigns & let Jeff Jr drive to get Jr up to speed
His tree time sucks but he will learn
Maybe a promod is not the best way to go in a drag and drive. What do I know though, I’ve never even done one.
💪💪💪💪💪🙏🏻👀👀👀
Gutted for you.
See when a new rod fails, can you go back to the manufacturer to recoup some costs?
Sadly, not much they can do…. seeing the pressures and torture applied to those parts under racing conditions. Now if that manufacturer is one of their sponsors, then I’m sure they get preferential treatment.
Hemi time
100% Buy once cry once. Way better then breaking BBC's all the time.
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
My Buddy Reaper has a Few BBC P.A.R Race Engines he doesn’t Use anymore
is it just me or on that first run there was a dude with the Wesley snipes demolition man hair do wtf
A better machine shop? Not pointing fingers! But you have damaged a lot of motors from west side! Just a comment not pointing fingers at no one. Good luck guys this season in npk!
Get rid of the mgp rods. Not the same company anymore. Try R and R or grp
The time laps is perfect then starting & stopping the video
Florida FAMILY ♡ lov ""u"" '°°%Ralph 0'25 sickness Orlando
Just stick a reg big block with a pro charger
Get yourself self a proline hemi
After spending my guess is about 80000.00 $ anyone should stop the bleeding we all love to watch you because you always put it on kill all I have to say is thanks wish you the best of luck and have a blessed day we were very lucky to be watch you guys
No my lord not a failure but what did you learn from it what matters
At least Steve is no quitting
I've watched what you, Steve, and Tom have done in the past. Am I the only one thinking it's the lubricants that are getting worse?
I mean, the metal, quality? Like for real as a fan
Just a maintenance guy. I don't own a $300k race car, but, it's same from my end
Electronics fix everything. Bullshit
Doesn't matter Steve Morris uses the best of the best and he always has issues the only one that make 3000 plus HP with minimal issues is Brett
Absolutely SUCKS!! Those rods probably were junk!! I hate that this happened to you again!!!
Do you not know how to tune a to b pass???
Seems like LaSala is the only one who does 😂
But in all seriousness, it has to be tough. They really got one shot (look at Tom Bailey) so they need to make one pass and get the fastest possible run right then. It's colder than normal so grip is down and power is up. The prep may not be crazy consistent. And it's early in the day. Track temp changes, density altitude. Lot of factors.

Everyone needs to do what Cleetus and his crew have done this year and buy some piece of junks and have some fun. Winner on Sick week will be Snot Rocket. 🚀
this sould have been a stm video lol
As much as you guys are loyal to westside. With costly engine issues maybe it’s time to look elsewhere. MH7…
Mh7 is solid block can’t be used for drag and drive style racing.
Noonan 4.8 water jacketed
The noonan 4.8 with jackets is over 110k a lot of money for a motor to just use for a week where nothing matches the old engines
People might be right yeah steve Morrison engines you got noon with the 4.8 and 4.9 you got a pro line. You don’t always have to do the hemi if you still want the weight savings or maybe it’s just time for new billet blocks instead of those old blocks obviously nobody has all the answers you’ve been at this long time. I’m sure you can figure it out on your own.
You went bigger Garage if I remember correctly, didn’t you lower the compression a little bit too or did you keep it up?
what a piss poor showing, preperation is key and I seen non of that
Wasn't the car they were planning to take originally.
Truly sucks.
Million dollar tow rig, state of the art shop, dedicated vehicle to push you around the track and you guys never get it done.
That is racing cant do well all the time parts failure happens all the time
Someone instead of tom should be tuning his car its just a tird now
If you want to do sick week with your father, he standing right there beside you, why don’t y’all just get in your car do it.
And no I’m not on Facebook doing the keyboard warrior thing…
You wasn't ready, admit it. You waited to the last minute to throw a car together. Nice job making a half ass appearance for your loyal fans. Call me a liar???
Car was ready it just needed an engine
U just put that engine in wtf cind of program u got..
Sorry guys that’s racing tho
OMG a roller and😅 paint brush this guy's so Cheap
