There are racers, and then there are RACERS. We’ve all known guys who will never give up, regardless of the damage or obstacles that are trying to keep them from racing, but we probably all know someone who gives up at the slightest complication as well. Some races bring out these traits in people more often than others, and this is especially true at Drag and Drive events. We’ve spent a good amount of time with the guys at Brian Tooley Racing, and have been close friends with Peter Harrell and Lee at Harrell Engine and Dyno for years. And while I don’t know the Tin Soldiers Race Cars crew real well, I know them well enough to know that like BTR and Pete, they don’t know what the word quit even means.
And here’s an example.
Video Description:
We went into Street Car Braggin’ Rights at Rockingham Dragway with the Tin Soldier guys looking to run our first race on radials with Man O’ War and our first 1/4-mile race with the car. We had high hopes of running well and possibly even taking a shot at resetting the LS 1/4-mile record. Some broken engine parts tried to stop us early in the event, but our stubbornness and lots of help from Pete Harrell and Lee at Harrell Engine & Dyno got us back on track. In Lil Gangstas, we made a last-minute driver substitution that looked to be going well, until it didn’t.
