@@DeanD084 I have a 10 day old daughter. I haven't slept in.. um... 10 days. I forgot to put on pants when I brought out the garbage this afternoon lol. Benny is the man!!!
I've figured out why the guys are able to leave the hotel and arrive at the track before others. They are still on AU time but are running behind schedule.
Woody Yep. It also shows what just a bit of planning will accomplish. I especially like the " We made a good enough run, will bank it and get on the road in case we have problems. " I've been involved in most forms of motor sport and have seen too many racers focus on winning when they need to focus on just running their own race and being able to finish. Do better each time out and the wins will come. Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. Also, tell everyone involved that the vids and production are great. The key points that make the vid are on the road scenes , just enough music of various types and just the sound of cars when racing. Great stuff coming from a handful of people and crap from the " pro " networks. Thanks
@@bobroberts2371 Truth there mate all the crew here have done a fantastic job well done. That is Gold, running on AU time. Who doesn't love a well cooked Barra.
I live in California and every year I come up with excuses to not go to drag week (my car's not ready, it's too far away, bla bla). These guys shipped their car from the other side of the planet to run drag week! Absolute legends!
This has been my favorite youtube series in a long time. It's really interesting to see American from the eyes of someone that isn't used to it. Plus drag week itself, is awesome. I hope you all do something fun together again when this is all over and we get to join along.
10:23 Red Roof Inns There is a racing connection here. RR was started in the early 70's by Jim Trueman. He later went on to buy the Mid Ohio road race course and completely refurbish it. I was there shortly after the refurb and later raced there, great facility. Jim also started Truesports and sponsored some indy car drivers. In 86 , sponsored by Truesports, Bobby Rahal won the Indy 500 . Eleven days later Jim died of cancer, he was 51.
It's so weird seeing them have issues finding E85. They need to do Drag Week in the midwest (especially the corn belt). I can find about a dozen gas stations with E85 within 5 miles of my house. The closest station with E85 was within 17 miles of Concord.
Dude, the Cresta is SUPER impressive! Rock up to a track, dump the trailer and rhe tire pressure, run a freaking 9.26 in 1 pass and hit the road again! That is incredible!
I really like how Benny and Al have a plan and are sticking to it. Couple passes if needed and taking a good time instead of chasing every last 1/10th of a second. Great way to make it to the end and place well. Harder plan to stick to than it seems
I'm loving this series. I grew up in north GA so I spent some time in GA, TN, SC & NC. While I like the drag racing bit, I have to admit I appreciate seeing all the shots during the "on the road" bits.
Ive gotta say that cresta is a miracle in modern shed engineering, its so awesome to see it pull a trailer and then run low nines, and the whole family packs in and heads to the next stop
What an awesome tour with the brothers (away from the mrs:) getting on with it. Not to mention helping out others when you can. That car has so much car-brain in it going from track to track I’m sure the car doesn’t feel worthy :) loving the DW series
I was at Bristol, it is my home town. It was awesome to see the car run that I watched the build series on MCM. Hope you enjoyed our facilities, I feel its one of the more beautiful race spots on the East Coast.
I know yall read these but prob scroll past my short one liners. I always make the same boring comment of just thanking you all for your time to do this. I know it takes more time off camera than on camera to create this content. I feel like owe yall a beer! Thanks again for making these videos.
It was nice seeing Bryant goldstones javelin. Loved watching it at our local track . I drive by his business every day. True street car. I've seen it driving down the roads over here on Sundays.
Meeting the 5 of you guys would be great, I've never been big on celebrities, never cared to meet fake people. Keep up the great work you guys, I support as much as I can!!
The old Sun Electric kit in the background at Mussi's brought back memories, my old man used to work for them as a salesman in the UK for like 30+years.
Thumbs up from Holland. Normally not looking into drag racing but thus serie is great fun. Must be nice doing this with some mates. Some great filming- editing from Woody
That stop at Musi's, when Al grab the piston, I couldn't tell which was shinier, the piston dome or his dome? You guys are achieving the American Dream. Race and run for the hills.
I hope you guys do this again next year. Maybe you can talk Marty and Moog into joining you for Drag Week 2019??? 2Fistd drag car build??? LOL 2Wistd with the same engine it currently has but rear drive...
Lol Kieth, what a legend, I laughed when you guys said Finnegan handed you guys the nitrous bottle to cool the barra. This has been an amazing series, I hope you guys decide to come back for Drag Week 2019!
Al was loving Musi's for sure, his turbo brain was spinning away. Duuuuude, it was a trip seeing that exit 80 sign up on 81. I don't go up that way much but I have traveled through there a few times going out to Bristol, went with a friend to Wytheville (It's pronounced "With-Ville") to buy a car once too... Craigslist special... Man that fucks my head seeing roads I've traveled on MCM... Hell, seeing the Shelor Motor Mile banner at the end of the track, I've seen their local commercials and I see cars sold from them all the time... Trippy man, real trippy. Only other time Southwestern Virginia ends up on TV is with Black Dog Salvage... I know where that place is, over off of Memorial Avenue where it turns to 13th street... Being from somewhere so mundane as Roanoke, Virginia and seeing roads I've traveled locally on MCM is a trip. Thanks for the good work guys, keep it up!
I didn't even know ZMax was still in business let alone have their sponsorship on a track. Never bought that snake oil but someone must have. This has been a great series 👍 keep up the good work guys.. this Toyota must blow people's minds here in the USA when they see a Ford engine we never have seen before in a Cressida (in the States that's what it was called). Pretty frickin sweet 👍
Loving this! What a way to start ya weekend!! Thanks for making this pro-level content for us to enjoy. This and MCM, i do not mind the adverts at all. Edit: And you ride dirt bikes too.

You guys are making drag week look super easy. I guess that is what good planning looks like.
and a well built car
divedeep25 and luck.
Good planning, and a team of professional mechanics. Including of course His Yodaness.
Good prep, and not running on kill mood at every track is a start
Barra is the answer you were looking for. :) I think they could have made it this far on a stock block.
I love the dynamic of Woddy and Al! It's like their language is ONLY banter.
Constantly awesome. Thank you Woody, Al, Marty ,Moog and the rest of the Gang. Truely the best content on UA-cam!! BENNNNNNNNNNY!
How could you forget Benny!

you got no excuse now bud
Someone should organise "Drift Week"
Drift cars towing 25ft trailers full of tyres and spare bumpers would be 🤣🤣🤣
It would be full of cables ties.
@@Elxmo full of zip ties, fiber glass filler and cheap tires lmao
Can you imagine the long line of cars behind the first speedbump they encounter? XD
VapeGoat real drift cars aren't low
But drifting is homosexual.
18:17 thanks for cutting me in, you boys are legends.
someone needs to put a Barra in a Cuda
Heresy. No self-respecting person in a Mopar would ever let a Ford motor into their engine bay, regardless of how fantastic that motor is.
It's just a car and a engine :D
May was well be a 737 how high that joke went over that dudes head...
Problem is, the barra is short for Barramundi not Barracuda. Technically tho, as it has hemispherical combustion chambers, it is a Hemi
Hahaha
"self-respecting person in a Mopar" ... Good one

For the era of car you guys nailed the intro! Old school
Love how reliable and simple that barra has been throughout the week, its just a testament to how good the barra is. Great work guys 👊🏻✌🏻
Love watching the videos on the progress. I'm glad you guys stopped by my hometown track in Bristol. Good luck.
This series is great, makes you feel you are actually there with the team.
Have bloody loved this series so far! Thanks for making guys 👍🏼
this is my favorite series to ever come out of the MCM group.
14:22 - that must be one of the best looking drag strips there is!
Also, great series! So much A+ footage. Well done Woody

This literally one of my favourite MCM series ever. Fucking nailing it guys.

@@MRJEB25 Is it still $10 or six dairy queen coupons? Asking for a friend.
Just watched in the UK on Christmas eve. Merry Christmas everyone. Loving cresta vs drag week. That straight 6 is bad ass
@12:00 "You're all famous today" I wonder how many times she used that line.
Turbo yoda seems likes enyoing trip and himself very well. Great dude
As I suspected, Benny is not human. He is a robotic stopwatch that can drive.
He guesses every time within 0,1 second of precision. Very impressive.
a few thousand drag passes will help with that!
I always see people say "you should have done/added/changed this or that" but I can't think of one damn thing that would make this better.
I can: Transbrake. I bet that he could pickup a few tenths and be a regular high or mid 8 secs car just with the transbrake to spool properly.
@@rparello With any luck we'll get to see him run next year with one.
@@rparello Exactly! I think that's the only thing that could make the Cresta better.

Two big reasons I watch these videos:
1) I love cars(of course)
2) I get to hear my most favoritest accent/dialect on this entire planet of Earth.
A great series, sorry to see it coming to an end. Thanks for sharing it!
This is my favourite series on you tube right now. Can't wait for next Friday. 😁
I live in the US and I love this series. It would have been awesome to come in person to travel and cheer you guys on at a track or 2.
Great stuff again guys. Looking forward to seeing where you ranked and what everyone thought of the mighty and reliable Barra.

Nice i did not expect to see a 1st gen 4runner on a drag strip.
Apparently cause they just spin off lugnuts? :)
I just read about that guy in Hot Rod Magazine. He said plan A, B, and C all failed, but he really wanted to go so he took his daily driver. Lol
Really enjoying this up at 6 a.m. on my day off to watch it
