SO CLOSE To a BIG Drag Racing PAYDAY! Bracket Racing NIGHTFIRE Nationals 2024 | Firebird Raceway
The Nightfire Nationals at Firebird Raceway, Idaho marks one of my favorite events of my drag racing season. This event is typically the highest paying race of the year for the sportsman racers like myself competing in Pro and Super Pro. Although I've attended this race for years as a spectator, this is only my 3rd year competing and it was by far the best I've ever done at the event!
As you'll see in the video, I struggled with a small issue causing the timing on my supercharged 383ci SBC to move around making it near impossible to dial the car in at a track that is already tricky enough to run a number. But Saturday, luck was on my side, the car was performing how it should and I took my...

Drag Racing is HUMBLING! Mid Season SLUMP Needs To End. BIGGEST Bracket Races of the Year Are HERE!
Просмотров 69714 дней назад
It's time to go to work... I've been in a mid season slump ever since my biggest win to date in June. Since then I've had a broken motor in my 1971 Chevy Nova and issues with a transmission in my dad's 1970 Camaro which has seemed to be my backup car this year. Now that everything is back and running we need to stack up some round wins! Some TIGHT racing kept me from going on in this video but ...
Fixed My BLOWN Small Block Chevy Then Went STRAIGHT to the Track! Bracket Racing | Firebird Raceway

What a long road it was to get to the point of making this video. A string of bad luck with two broken down race cars and a broken down tow vehicle meant it was grind time to get everything back in order. With a huge thanks to my support system, we got the engine pulled out of my 1971 Chevy Nova, put a new camshaft in it and put it all back together with new valve train components. At the same ...
I BROKE My Supercharged Small Block Chevy... And Everything Else I Drive!!

Man... its crazy how humbling life and drag racing can be. Never take a good day for granted because you can go from the highest of highs to struggling very quickly. After a couple race wins in a row I hurt the engine in the Nova and although it wasn't catastrophic it was worse than I thought. Since we're in the points hunt for the ET Finals over labor day my dad let me borrow is big block 1970...
BIGGEST WIN Yet! My Supercharged Nova is on FIRE!

Words can't describe the feelings from this win. I've been blessed to have won races in the past but winning in the Pro class at a points and money paying event was on my goal/bucket list for this year and I finally did it! Not only did we pull off the win in Pro, we made it down to the quarter finals in the other class. I have never gone this many rounds in one day, nor have I ever had to hot ...
The EASIEST Upgrade To Be MORE COMPETITIVE! SUPERCHARGED Nova Goes Digital!

Something I've always admired about heads up drag racing whether it be a pro mod, radial vs the world, no prep... is the different power plants, power adders and the tuning/data analysis required to make tons of power go down the track. Although where I race doesn't have a lot of heads up drag racing, nor is building a car like that in the budget at the moment, I've always liked taking inspirat...
CRAZIEST Weekend Of My Life!! Winner's Circle 2X!

I couldn't have drawn a better picture of how I wanted last weekend to go. Friday night was stop number 2 in the 6 race series of the Club Challenge and the Nova was on point all day! With some fantastic weather in our favor, and my supercharged small block Chevy running perfect, I was able to dial the race car very consistently... only varying 3 hundreds of a second over 6 rounds! After findin...
I Made a HUGE Mistake That Cost Me Rounds!!

In this video we're back at Firebird Raceway, Idaho for round 2 of the Gold Cup points series. After going 0-4 at the first points race I'm coming in with the determination to go rounds in multiple classes. Some crazy spring weather not only made the track extremely hard to dial but they moved all classes to 1/8 mile. Although I do enjoy 1/8 mile racing... I only do it a couple times a year and...
Going Rounds In The NOVA! 130MPH Bracket Racing | Firebird Raceway

After a sad 0-4 record at the first race of the season, I finally started building some momentum as win lights were shinning during some Friday night bracket racing at Firebird Raceway, Idaho. Some extremely tight racing, killer reaction times and 130MPH throttle whomps make for a great video. How many rounds can I make it in my supercharged small block Chevy powered 1971 Chevy Nova?!

Drag racing... so many ups and downs when it comes to drag racing. Some ups and a lot of downs is exactly what happened last weekend for the first points race of the year. The weekend started off strong with my supercharged 1971 Chevy Nova destroying its previous personal best record! The air and conditions were just right and I cannot believe this little small block Chevy is inching it's way t...

SMALL BLOCK CHEVY Build Details! The BEST Budget SBC RACE Engine?
GREAT job.... those TBS SC's not only look good, not only sound good, but i'm seeing people getting real power results too i'm envious and thinking about swapping to that.... i like the low profile and sound, not to mention they seem to be making power too great job, keep it up put in a Roletk T10 and really enjoy that car.....
Looks great bro! It was a pleasure getting to race you
Same here man!
I had the pretty distributor hold down and I struggle for a year with it moving. Ditch that a get a cheap ugly original distributor hold down and you'll never go back. Great videos. 👍🏾
Get rid of that cable nothing but problems need to work on the way the car leaves chattering the tires
Agreed on both!
It's tuff to swallow when it was a good day, but you know it could have/should have, been better. Just curious, how consistent are the sixty foot times. It's kind of hard to tell from the video, but it kind of looks like it's chattering the tires after the initial hit.
The 60’s aren’t terrible but they could definitely be more consistent. (When I’m not dealing with the timing issues lol) they’re normally 1.400-1.450 depending on track and weather conditions. The car definitely needs some suspension and chassis adjustments. It doesn’t have an anti roll bar yet which is upsetting the rear end and the front needs some longer ball joints… definitely have some upgrades coming to help hopefully.
You made a lot of passes, and had some success, congrats. I have the same distributor hold down that somethings gets loose. I marked my distributor so I can visually see it between rounds. What was the part number you ordered to fix your problem, I might be interested in ordering it for myself. Thanks Kevin
I read good reviews on Summit about a Billet Specialties (BLK65920) so I ordered that one. I’ve yet to install
How mucg does it cost to buy back in?
At that race it was $60 to buy back in
@@PLANBRACING thank you.
Looks like you guys had a great time! Keep it up.
thats a nice shot of the eingine to see how that SC doesn't sit so high. i want a SC for my 79 TransAm and have been eyeing the TBS ones, just deciding SBC/BBC conversion looks like it would fit with the stock hood and since i dont have the shaker the air cleaner can stick out and be just fine for me. i just want killer torque like i am used to now but have always wanted a SC. thinking a SBC421/434 with the 192 and run some Q16 or C12/14
Good to see that you ran it out when the other guys redlit. Free time trial! It's all about experience & seat time.
I've always enjoyed looking at the numbers on the time slips. Tough weekend for you, but you're learning. Some good reaction times. For me, driving the big end has always been the hardest. Get all the seat time you can & good luck in the future!
I race Jr dragsters at Firebird
Why don’t you post about night fire
I’ll have a video for night fire!
@@PLANBRACING I was the kid who asked for signatures today and thank you so mucb
It was great to see you!!
Hell yeah, total respect a Chevrolet with pure blood Chevrolet motor not this l.S shit
Badass sounds good
Awesome sounds good
At what water temperature do you get most consistent results?
130-160
I've always been a semi professional test and tuner/grudge racing buddies. You have me seriously wanting to try bracket racing.
I’m a fan of all drag and would love to heads up race more but bracket racing is what my area has the most of and have definitely found a love for it!
Keep up the content. How about a nut & bolt video? How often do you take the engine apart and look at it?
I could definitely do that. I just had the engine out and rebuilt this winter after 2.5 years and 300+ passes. I posted all of the videos!
Beautiful engine bay. But it's a weak video.... 📹 😔 ❤
I enjoy your bracket racing videos. I raced this past weekend, lost 1st round, bought back in, won the buy back round, then lost again to the same guy that beat me 1st round. Not fun to loose twice to the same person.
At least your out there doin it.
I definitely have had that happen before. Even though some days don’t feel like it… I’d take a losing day at the track over not being there at all I guess!
@@PLANBRACING Exactly, when I got home I told my wife I had a great time. :)
That filter should be on your lawnmover. Not your V8
Love it.
Too much of low gearing for the size tire & transmission gearing for the plentiful output of power????😢 🎉❤ The noise....
This is just PERFECT! Can you tell me what Hoosier Front runners you have and size?
Damn 😎💨💨
props on the sidewalls
Can you tell me about your engine is it big block or small block?
Small block Chevy!
Clearly it's a small block Look at the four bolts on the valve cover,Even if it's stroke Too a 434 it's still a small block with big cubic inches
There is cost to build, there is a cost to maintain, and there is a cost to race. It never ends. It doesn't take long to get a small fortune wrapped up in these cars. Most people do not have an appreciation for the amount of time, money and hard work that it takes to race. It took 7 years and many 70+ hour work weeks to get my car where its at, and yet people assume that im a rich guy. Far from the truth. Awesome video!
Well said! Thank you man!
@@PLANBRACING you’re welcome!
Air breather looks a little small
lemme guess.... runs 13's after spending gazillion dollars to get that whine sound lol
Low 10’s
Hey mate. I brought some front wheels like yours and mine seem to look tucked in more than yours do, do you have a spacer behind the wheel?
No spacer and all my front steering is stock. Just have Wilwood rotors and calipers!
Looking great, and sounding awesome!
Thank you!
How much Chevy power? 750-800 🤔
Yeah right about 750!
Is there a reason why your 2nd gear is so short when you do your burnouts?
No reason! Kind of how I’ve always done it… get the tires spinning in 2nd then just shift it to high gear!
Badass. Its beautiful.
Thank you!
Any chance the blower and air cleaner will fit under a factory hood or 2" scoop hood?
Not sure! The blower is made to fit under most stock hoods. You may be able to call The Blower Shop and they’ll know!
@@PLANBRACING Thanks! Cool Nova. I have a 1972 with a 427 small block
I thought it sounded lazy like timing. I’d take a good look at the distributor or maybe the box. I have had issues with the start retard in those 7al3 boxes.
