The life of low-rung race cars isn’t a pretty one. They are hacked, thrashed, beat on, and the cycle repeats until the car is so worn-out and used-up that the only option is to try with something new. Search YouTube to see some old-school footage of cars that you’d give body parts for getting the absolute wee kicked out of them on short-tracks across the country. Mopar vehicles weren’t immune…and the factory didn’t help matters, because in the 1970s they were telling racers how to make track cars out of Challengers, Darts and Aspens! The likelihood that this 1970 Dodge Challenger was one of those cars is pretty much nonexistent. The car was built sometime in the early 1990s as a dirt racer and somehow managed to escape a seriously rough life, falling into the hands of a Mopar…um, collector…in Oregon. And that’s where it’s stayed, mostly out of harm’s way, up until Finnegan and Freiburger come walking up the driveway!
(Don’t worry…the car survives the episode. We promise.)
Competing with Cletus.
Good move, morons.
I’ve had my fill of these dimwits before, especially the one with the lisp.
In my opinion they have set the hobby back years. Imagine at a hearing introducing new draconian laws against modified vehicles (hot rods), along come these assholes and their videos as an example/proof that those of us that own, build, drive hot rods are all irresponsible knuckle dragging jerkoffs. The Prius-buying ‘public’ groups all of us in the hobby together.
So next time a vote is taken to shut down a race track or car event, think of this blog post. I Told You So.
Fuck you two, and your employers for promoting this lowest common denominator antics.
One Man’s Opinion and if you don’t like it Too Bad,
Third Gen, what did they do that was so bad? Drive around some guys farm? Lighten up Francis. Put the T tops back on the Camaro, the water is getting into your head.
I think 3rd Gen has its panties in a twist today. All I saw was two guys having fun with a clapped out Challenger.
F & F keep it up!
It wouldn’t be so bad if they just get to a conclsion. Remember back in school…148…149…150 good my paper’s done…that’s a wrap. Finish something damnit !!!
