    Out of curiosity, are the ring gaps in the Malibu stock or opened up for spray?

    Holy hell 🤣 you had no choice but to win against that electric car . Your man hood depended on it … not really but it sure feels better seeing you win and not some quiet electric car that the driver has to make his own engine sounds in ! Lol Old school beats new school !!! Congrats !

      Bill HAD to win that race or forever hear about how he got beat by an ev. The only advantage that Tesla driver had was he got to hear what it sounded like getting his ass handed to him by a gas chugging American v8 ! 🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 FJB !

    Hey Bill, big congratulations on your win. That big smile on your face says it all on how you feel. I remember back in your videos when you said you would never race again, with that huge smile on your face and taking the for the win I bet you're glad you made a little bracket car out of that Malibu. I'm a 50-year-old Blue collar man like yourself, and you are such an inspiration to me that you are never too old to do what you love. I have a pretty sporty Dart 406c with a blower in a square body S-10 that I just foot brake and sometimes bracket race, the 1/8 mile. I love your videos always looking forward to the next one, please keep them coming.

    Can you imagine the Tesla owner going into the dealer Monday morning to get it Super tuned 'cause he got beat by some old man in a Malibu ? Oh the shame , Elon is not gonna like this !

    I am a gear head through and through...but I love my electric lawn equipment. Once they come out with a decent 36" electric rider. I will probably buy one. Currently using the Ego 56 volt for the mower, weed easter, leaf blower and hedge trimmers. But I have 4 chargers and 5 batteries, so I never have the bettey issue.

      @@Daddyrabbit_2 I really kind of dislike electric vehicles...I honestly never would have thought I would like electric lawn equipment. But between how light and quiet everything is, I love them. I can literally talk on the phone through my ear bud while I mow or weed eat...or you can talk to someone standing next to you.
      I will say that the only draw back with the mower is, you have to keep the blade insanely sharp for a good cut. Electric motors are tourquey, but I don't think the blade carries the same speed that a gas mower does.

      @@jondough4116 Nah, I live in the midwest...just got a chance to try them out, And I liked them. I am actually a tech at a performance shop for light duty diesels, I take emmisions equipment off for a living, I could never live in california.
      The same goes in the shop really, all my tools are electric now instead of pneumatic. My air compressor is just for charging my sure shots and tires any more.
