Even though the 1986 model El Camino known as ‘Mullet’ has scored wins on both the drag-and-drive calendar, as well as a World Cup Finals victory in 2022, the last few years haven’t been as good. Competition has gotten faster, and although Tye and the Cleetus crew revamped the car with a new rear end and aftermarket 4-link set-up, it wasn’t the answer.

After tapping Cameron Johnson Race Cars in Lakeland, Florida to build a 5-second Pro 275-class ’69 Camaro recently, Cleetus took advantage of an open spot in their schedule to slide Mullet in for the next round of upgrades.

Buying a proven car that is already built the way you want it, or most of the way that you want it, eliminates the money and time factor in a complete build.

But can you shed the 'previous history' that comes with buying someone else's ride? That recently came to light when Brett LaSala's 'Snot Rocket 2.0' was sold...

With just a couple weeks to go until Sick Summer Presented by Motion Raceworks, most figured Devin Vanderhoof and Josh Davis were preparing for a trip to Illinois to defend their overall win. So you can imagine the shock and surprise when Devin posted a video yesterday with the ’93 Mustang convertible stripped to a bare shell and roll cage!

In January this year, Mike Finnegan released a video on his YouTube channel, Finnegan’s Garage, on the build of a LS-based 400 cubic inch engine from ACE Racing Engines for big power numbers and a ‘mystery project car.’

“We can’t wait to be hanging with and meeting new people and friends again at our next drag-and-drive. Car and hot rod people, I think there’s no better crowd.”
