VIDEO: First In The 5’s! Larry Larson Runs 5 Seconds In A Street Car…Errr Truck!


VIDEO: First In The 5’s! Larry Larson Runs 5 Seconds In A Street Car…Errr Truck!

It’s official! Larry Larson runs 5 seconds! He just ran 5.950 at 244.43. We have become the quickest and fastest street legal vehicle for the third time this week, and is the first in the 5’s every in a street legal vehicle. Friday morning Larry and crew ran 6.058 at 241.50 mph, and then followed it up in the evening with a 6.043 at 242.67 mph to become the quickest and fastest ever, and also to become the quickest and fastest truck in Drag Racing history. We went into Sunday morning in the number 10 spot in Outlaw ProMod, and we knew we’d need more to stay up there with the big boys. Tommy Johanns and the Pit Mat gang gave us a run for the money, and took the win in Round 1 from us, on a slight holeshot and ran their career best of a 5.958 on the same run. Congratulations to those guys, we’re happy for them too.

Nobody thought we’d show up with something like this, but we did and now look at it. Drag Week here we come!

We’d love to say that running 5’s was easy, but the truth is a new truck, new combo, new performance level, etc meant that we had to do some testing here in Vegas to get things right. With rare exception, this weekend has been a good test session as we’ve gotten quicker, and/or pulled good data to help us go quicker, on each and every run. We aren’t done yet, and can’t wait to see what this little truck is capable of. 5.8’s? 250? We’ll see.

    SO AWESOME, I knew you guys could do it, just didn’t know what the numbers would be. Well deserved for everyone involved, you guys are the main reason I tuned in to the Hot Rod drag week and the Street Car Supernationals and I am glad i did so I could watch it steadily go quicker. I was so excited for you all that I just had to text my wife and one of my good friends when it happened. Congratulations, Larry, Chad, crew, families and sponsors on a job well done so far (I say that because I know there is more to come). Thank you to Bangshift, ALL the sponsors, Competitionplus and everyone else involved, WELL DESERVED!!

    Every time that truck has run, someone has always chimed in saying that someone else has still gone quicker, or trapped a higher mph.

    Well, THERE! Now it is the fastest and quickest street legal vehicle, bar none.

    Larry and Chad battled Dragweek, and now after working hard for 3 days, a Epic 5.95 @ 244 run.
    Awesome, thanks for the entertainment.

    I get so tired of the haters saying it’s not a “street car” it’s a dual purpose built street/strip truck. It’s street legal, has a vin and is registered and tagged. It’s as much a street car as the pro street fairgrounds cruisers who can’t turn a corner because of the mini spool. This truck went 1000+ miles on drag week, and just ran a 5 second pass. Be happy for this great bunch of guys, or keep your hate to yourself.

    “street legal” but definately not legal to drive on the street. Wouldnt pass exhaust decibel law, windshield wiper law.
