It was less than a month ago that Brett LaSala put ‘Snot Rocket 2.0’, his low 6-second street-legal 2012 Mustang, up for sale. Plans for a new car, ‘Snot Rocket 3.0’, were underway at Moore Race Chassis, and Brett mentioned it would be ready for a Sick Week 2025 debut.

But that timeline might be updated a little bit after a video dropped showing the new Moore Race Chassis .

For many that strive to attend a drag-and-drive event, you can sometimes hit a wall where you realize that attending that year might not be in the card. Some might have a back-up plan, or in rare case, multiple options.

For Jody Ames, the 2024 edition of Hot Rod Drag Week marks the first time he is able to take his original ‘Plan A’ car, a 2016 Ford Mustang.

‘Win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ is a phrase that’s been used to tie together racing and car sales, and the promotion has worked well over several decades. Included in that idea are the big three and the use of drag racing ‘stock-appearing’ rides to sell their showroom counterparts.

That idea has been enjoying its latest wave with National Hot Rod Association Factory Stock Showdown and Factory X class, but recent rules infractions have the rumor mill swirling on future participation in the class.
