Duct Tape Drags 2023: Flat Towing, Bus Adventure, and Missed Shift.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I took the DIY Funny Car (Jeep) to the Duct Tape Drags in Tucson, AZ. Of course, just getting there was an adventure, because I decided to flat tow it behind the 1953 Kenworth Bus. Even though a lot of things went wrong, the important stuff went right. It was a big adventure!
I really appreciate David Freiburger for keeping this show going. I really like the atmosphere, and having my car judged by him and Steve Dulcich was one of the highlights for me.

*- Agreed, Joseph. Thanks for saying better than I what I was thinking, too.*
Man, that’s awesome to get such high praise from Mr Freiburger. Well deserved. Bravo! Looking forward to the next video.
Watching you shift the gears with acceleration building, seeing the rival car over your shoulder going even faster makes an exciting action movie
Dude! The Jeep did an awesome job and so did you especially considering the little bit of practice you’ve had in it. Drive on man you’re the best in my book!

for sure!!
That was awesome. What a great event.
Hi so much great all round entertainment ,many many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor. I still think your video on the small boat in the kids swimming pool has to be the funniest video I've ever seen on you tube.
Thanks for the towing review along with your race results!
Casual background audio of THE David Freiburger saying you're legit. Big congrats, my guy. You're doing good work.
That bus is really cool, you've done a great job getting it back into reliable condition. And your backyard gasser is awesome, I think you should keep your eye out and try and horse trade yourself a big block for it. Or maybe turbocharging? I'd love to see the way you go about building a turbo kit with only used/free parts, your skillset and attitude makes for great learning and entertainment. Regardless, a great video from one of my favourite channels.

I reckon a compressed air supercharging system could make a lot of power gains, and he's probably already got all the necessary bits laying around.
Dude, you're awesome!! I've been trying to break into 13s with my 97 5.2 AWD ZJ and its not easy to do without spending lots of cash which isn't happening.. I can't wait to see what you're gonna do next!!
AWESOME Everything you are GENIUS 👍🏁🇺🇸
Might look sketchy but in reality it’s pretty well put together. In comparison , Years ago they used “muffler molly” exhaust tubing for frame rails and roll cages in the early drags. “Wild Willie” Borsch of the “Winged Express” Top Fuel Altered was interviewed in a Hot Rod magazine article as revealing that back in the day they just used exhaust tubing or “muffler molly” as he called it, for frames and cages. If they wrapped it up into the wall they would just cut off the bent parts and weld in new exhaust tubing. Ready for the next weekend. Interesting story….. scary if true, but Willie Borsch worked at a muffler shop in LA in the 50’s-60’s so the story is probable.
Amazing as always!!
Definitely a win, win, win, win, win. On the edge of my chair the entire video. One of the bestest on KZread 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love all the praise from Freiburger! Would have been interested hearing what Dulcich had to say about it too :D
A total go-wrap... but myself, yah, think you could spend a bit more time on the bus as you're probably going to have and use it the rest of your days. TBH, 13 in that jeep is about 13 seconds faster than I'd want to drive it 🙂

Looks like a lot of fun. Keep racing!
glad to see you had fun makes me want to try some drag racing
Onward! to Victory!!
Great Job, buddy! Love your channel!
My lord that bus is wonderful, your a great guy thank you.
Dear LBG 👍👌👏 Yes, I totally agree, you and your vehicles did well. I hope to see you investing a bit more work in the bus. This good old family vehicle definitely deserves it. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck especially health to all of you.
Yep, definitely some extra special bonus wins here! My memories of racing are that it was always handy to have a few mates around to push your car forward whilst it was in the staging queue. Save wear and tear on the starter! 🤣
Excellent video. Enjoyed the racing.
Win or lose at the track, that's a WIN!
Awesome adventure!
I love this channel, all his videos are great fun
You have the best Videos.......your DeadPan delivery is spot on.
Nice! I bet that bus was also a conversation starter in the pits!
That was cool as it gets right there. Thanks for taking us along for that adventure. I know you had fun so you must have done it right lol.
that was awesome dude, that thing rips lol, i didnt think it being as heavy as it is is would go like that, hooks good, dont break anything yet, shifts soild, just a damn good build buddy, buss is a champ to thats awesome to, just needs a lil breathing on an she'll be good to the moon an back
I was looking forward to seeing this ever since I saw your car in another channel! Great job!
All in all this was a win 👍
So awesome
Good show thanks 👍
Brilliant and excellent as ever.
Love the bus. That's racing. Been there
looks like a win win win all the way nice to see a plan come together good job looking forward to the next video
I love your attitude of seeing everything as an opportunity, even when most would give up. And the lope of that engine! Sounds similar to the intro to Hot for Teacher
Just out of international interest, the EU plug is 13 pin round with a constant live and a fridge line. The left and right hand side lights are split. I actually like it :o)
Good video, thank you
Way to go, great watching
Without doubt the best magyver man on the tube,👍👍👍
That's awesome! And a trip your family will always remember. That's a win in my book!
You inspire me to learn more about cars. Can’t wait too have a driveway that holds a project vehicle in addition to the daily!
Well done sir. Well done.
Great job. As always
Glad everything worked out well for you and I'm glad you're having fun
Hell yes...Big win...thanks for sharing...
Fun !
Cool
You are the man glad you had so much fun can't wait for your next video to drop
Like many others i,m sure, i watch many you tube channels. Yours is by far now my favourite as you still do real world repairs and fabrication with tools we all have or can have. Thanks for sharing, please don,t change. Paul (UK)
Very enjoyable. I can relate to the later and later and later starts. Sometimes I have a full year to get ready....and still......... tHanks for the great video!
Excellent, thats the funniest vehicle on the track i reckon, love the mgb suspension, Extremely popular amongst uk hot rodders.
I used the Hopkins trailer light adaptors on several motorcycles, with no issues. My Nighthawk has 4" bus taillights (LED) added to the ammo box panniers & I wired them to be taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, with the stock (center) taillight wire cut (so it's brake light only}.
Only the best. That Jeep will cream the competition once you work out the "bugs". (You are spot on; the inconsistencies were what "threw" your (mental) built in "shift sequence". It happens to us all, at one time and/or another. That engine is a monster. I know. I ride a ZX1400.)
What an amazing vehicle 👌🇺🇸
Bored at work, only salvation is watching your great video. Every bone in my body wants to tell them to shove it!, fill a big cooler and join you on the road trip!!
Not to mention they both look great!
I just watched this whole series and I feel like I went on an adventure with you! Great Job! 👍😁
The fact that you impressed Frieburguer and Dulcich Is impressive.well done.
Congratulations on Racing Glenn :) also tow bus with Jeep and excellent video too!
You did a awesome job with everything that you did with the car and bus ..
love it
The sound of the engine inside the cabin, sounds exactly like the jalopy(muscle car) from half life 2 and I love every part of it, the agressive noise it make its music to my ears.
i love your channel. keep it up
Thanks for showing the world you don't need something new to have a good time! I don't care for the new stuff. Cost to much and is it any better when u crash it? Love your simple style. I have been dragging broken parts over boulders for years. And I don't wanna quit because I have young ones running around. Redirected funds! Thanks
It was so cool to see the Cherokee at Duck Tape Drags
I had to watch this one after seeing your car in the background of another video I was watching. Unique stands out.
Another Big Win! Right On!
Can’t get enough of this channel 👏🏽
Dude you need to get a pneumatic air saw ! One of the best tools I’ve ever bought
That was great !Glad you make time to see other home made cars .Fun
Thanks for sharing next time you should put a turbo on the engine I’m sure you can find something in a scrap bin that would work awesome video buddy
Definitely need more drag racing videos!
Not too freaking shabby for something that unconventional and built in your garage. Excellent.
absolutely awesome! was waiting for this!
What is wild is, you're doing this anyway! It is just a little bit more to record it. Well, maybe a little more than that. Thank You J. for sharing your genius with us.
Congrats LBG, on winning two times. Bus and Jeep-1 broke-down on the road-0 now that's a win..
I love that you said the family had an event to remember, not that they had a good time!
freiburger rememberered lowbuck garage thats impressive fist bump
I hear derrick in the background man that looks fun
Man, that’s awesome 😊
Praise from Caeser there, from the roadkill gang, them knowing you via content is a true show of your quality!
What great fun, I’ve truly enjoyed your videos….I love the bus….keep the videos coming….Mike from Northern California
Dude, you crack me up. If I were your neighbor, I’d spend 1/2 of my time at your place.
Good job my man. Peace Im watching. Jeep is awesome. Thanks.
