 getting this video up guys I've been terribly terribly busy and it has just been crazy around here but finally getting this video up this is going to be the racing footage for moped party 2021 that we just came back from this has a lot of racing content from Frostbite and from Mr. Haney which is John Cote's Ford truck with the 392 Hemi swap so everything in this video is basically both of us beating down both of our trucks and unfortunately both trucks ended up breaking during the event so stay tuned you'll see what's going on but uh but yeah we had fun uh weather wasn't the best this year we ended up getting rained out on sunday but we did make some passes and uh yeah we both broke our trucks also guys do me a favor hit that like button right now give the video a thumbs up put a comment down there it helps the video tremendously it helps youtube uh try to promote my videos a little bit more get some moved around a little bit and that will be much much appreciated so definitely thumbs up the video for me at moped party I decided to run two classes which was absolutely nuts because I was going back and forth trying to do different things and it was just super hectic trying to run and get you know all your practice and stuff in for two different classes it was nuts but we did this true street quarter mile class and we did the eighth mile pro class which is what John Cope ran Mr. Haney in is the eighth mile pro class I did not get any practice runs in the pro class all my practice runs was on the true street class I just didn't have time to go back and forth not to mention like I said frostbite breaks down later on in the middle of the event but anyways that's pretty much what it is so let's get to the video let's check it out uh the first one's coming up is going to be the practice runs for uh myself with frostbite and from John Cope and Mr. Haney so first up let's get it this is uh frostbite basically right off the trailer and keep in mind this is with the new highly high ram manifold on the truck and I had no track data up until we got to mo party to actually test this thing out and see how the tune does and how the truck reacted and so forth and we actually ran into some issues truck was running really good the intake is pulling really super hard up top and I can't notice any difference down low honestly I feel like I didn't lose anything I feel like I've gained more than um than anything like I said I from the stock intake to this intake I can't tell any difference whatsoever on the power level coming out of the hole it feels pretty close to the same but the top end is holy moly to me feels a lot better that's for sure however with no practicing no data on it we ended up having some issues we ended up going pretty lean the manifold was causing us to go pretty lean up top and long story short we pretty much just found out frostbite's maxed out on fuel we are just pretty much running out of fuel system trying to run the truck uh under the amount of boost that we were running and shifting it out at 7000 rpms on the factory pump keep in mind we are running meth injection so that's helping us out tremendously but we're pretty much just running out of fuel so I wasn't really able to max the truck out and keep things safe but with all that said it was all good in the hood literally so let's check out the first pass again this is right off the trailer um I decided to try something different and I raised the tire pressure up to 25 psi to see if we could hook on the first pass out of the hole and we had the two steps that I believe about 41 or 4200 rpm and it pretty much went up in smoke but let's check it out like I said it did not hook at all we blew the tires up tremendously um and then you know once it got once I kind of gathered it up I kind of got back into it and I noticed I pretty much knew then we were going to be having some issues trying to tackle this thing uh and get ready for the actual racing classes to start um as I got towards you know getting towards the top of some of these gear gear changes I was noticing my wideband was starting to scare me a little bit so that's when uh more fun and troubles arrived on the next pass is coming up but anyway here's John Cope on his first practice run and uh it was pretty good and he even pulled the tire off the ground so let's check it out that's pretty much off the trailer and uh with the new suspension and everything that he just put in the truck and the truck did pretty good um after watching some of the video we thought maybe the back end was a little too soft so um I believe he went back and he tightened up the shocks a pretty good bit and on his next pass it did do a lot better um as you've seen on that pass it kind of looked like the back end like he kind of popped the front end up and in the back end pretty much like almost bunny hopped it just bounced a lot so on his next pass it did do a lot better after tightening up the shocks in the back end it didn't bounce as much and it definitely hooked a lot better but uh hell yeah here we go we got frostbite coming back up for pass number two to see if we can figure it out so let's see what happens what did what I changed on that was mainly tire pressure we went from the 25 psi that I thought would be smart to try out for the first time and I lowered it back down to 18 um 18 psi got us a dead hook on that as you can see now also lowered the two step down a little bit I think I went down to 3800 on that launch so we ended up launching out of the hole pretty fair although I want to launch out of the hole a lot harder than that so after the launch I pretty much uh rev out first gear pretty good and second gear comes into play we're getting in we're getting close you know we're coming around like 55 6 000 rpm's on on second gear and I'm noticing the wideband is going super super lean we're starting to tap about 12 12 1 and uh I was like oh wow crap so I went ahead and I pulled the shifter back we did another gear change early and pretty much did that the remainder of that pass just to try to keep the AFR down and try to get some decent half good data and uh we still ran a pretty pretty good decent number ran a 12 0 did da this weekend pretty much stayed around like 2500 so um you know wasn't super happy with that pass but I couldn't stay in it so it was starting to get a little frustrating I was like all right so I need to get some data try to figure this out see if there's you know can we max out any more fuel out of this thing or are we going to be done so anyway hell yeah let's go on to John Cope's next pass this will be his second pass in the practice rounds uh before the racing and uh like I said he tightened up the shocks in the back of his truck and uh made a little uh other tweaks he changed out his burnout a little bit too um he shortened his burnout a little bit and that also seemed to help a little bit with his tires uh it seemed like the shorter burnout was actually helping him so I believe he shortened the burnout tightened up the suspension in the back end and uh did a pretty good different did a much better difference for sure so let's check it out the one filming that one down there on the ground and that truck sounds amazing when you're right there next to it is crazy Ford truck 392 Hemi it's all in a all factory crate motor it has a small cam in it right now from Dr. Diff and uh that's it plus John's transmission the 46re would a trans uh the trans brake and he don't have a two-step on it right now so he was pretty much just floorboard matting it he was just holding the pedal down to the floorboard and pretty much maxing out the converter and I think he was I think he said he was able to like that thing would hold around five grand or so so he was launching it pretty hard and it was definitely popping them tires up and as you can see the back end actually did a lot better didn't bounce as much had a much better 60 foot out of the hole that time for sure but he ended up running into some issues he found out he was hearing some noise and the drive shaft was rubbing and uh he found out he had some other suspension issues as well and ended up having to do some welding and uh unfortunately that ended up putting him out uh just for safety concerns they got the they got the rear end uh re-welded where the brackets go to hold the ladder bars and stuff together but every time he was making a pass it was actually bending the material and the bracket so he just decided to hang it up it's not worth you know getting hurt crashing a truck or any of that crap so he pretty much put it to bed after that but the truck did really good just gotta work some more kinks out of it just like any other race car in the world but hey yeah let's uh see what frostbite's gonna do on this next pass right here so this is gonna be I believe my last practice pass before we start off uh with the racing so let's check it out I was really wanting to get this thing to launch out of the hole guys man I was really trying to get it to hook so I bumped up the two steps some more we kept the tire pressure about the same so honestly I really don't know what happened there I don't know if that was a track issue there was lots of cleaning going on between runs right there I ended up having to sit there for a second for them to mop up some stuff and as soon as I launched I believe the guy went back to mopping again so I don't know um especially after the last pass it looked like we had traction issues pretty much resolved and then we go do this and it it just blows it up again so I don't know what very good um but this was the last practice run I got some data and we came up with a plan to try to run the truck um in the 12 second the 12 index class in the true street class so our goal was trying to run 12s try to run the lowest 12 we can and hopefully beat everybody else out that's running you know running in the 12 second bracket right there so obviously we were running out of fuel it was keeping me from being able to wind out the uh the motor all the way to 7 000 so I was having to shift early and or even some sometimes sometimes I was having to basically just let out for a second and then get back into it um if the AFR was scaring me enough so the game plan what we did we basically threw all the fuel to it that we could pretty much like hung the injectors open and gave it everything it could have and on top of that I did have a larger meth nozzle with me um so we put that meth nozzle in and we added pretty much pure meth I've been running like a 75-25 mix that I make myself with VP M1 and we ended up just going pure meth in the tank with the larger nozzle and and after this pass we started off with the the first uh run the first run of the actual race and to try this all out and it actually did let me run the truck out a little harder I was a I was actually able to make I want to say around 6500 shifts before it started to get a little scary and uh first pass it ran a pretty good time actually was faster than I was even thinking we were going to run it all um in the DA plus not being able to pull run the truck or plus not being able to run the motor all the way out to you know 7700 so we did pretty good but anyway let's check out this first pass see how we did and I believe we were racing a charger right here a little race for the quarter mile street uh true street class we ran 11-8 um when I got the time I was actually stoked I was like crap we just ran 11-8 although we're shooting for uh 12 O's that's fine the way the rules work in this class is you run three passes and they're pretty much back to back and not only that you have to let the truck we had to let all of our vehicles sit in idle in the staging lanes for 30 minutes straight we couldn't turn them off we couldn't pop the hoods we couldn't even get out of our cars we couldn't change anything nobody outside the cars could touch the cars um if any of that stuff if any of them rules were broke you were disqualified you could not compete in the class so keep in mind this is right after a 30 minute idle in the staging lane so all of these cars including frostbite is absolutely heat soaked from sitting there um and the other thing is in these classes you're pretty much racing yourself you're not racing the guy next to you you're racing yourself literally reaction time doesn't matter and it doesn't matter who actually crosses the finish line first at all that does not matter at all all that matters is your three passes and your average so if you're trying to run 12 O's and you run say 11-8 uh 12-1 and then like a 12-0 30 or something and then your average comes out to say like 12-1 then that's your time for the bracket and as long as you have the lowest time in the bracket you win that class so that's how it works so the 11-8 we ran I was actually super stoked because I knew as we kept going the truck's gonna keep getting more heat soaked just gonna probably get a little bit slower every pass and we should be able to have a really solid low 12 second number and uh the plan worked out pretty good until uh it didn't and frostbite began to uh throw a fit and she broke but anyway let's go check out pass number two if you could hear I had my my son filming on the big end of the track and we actually let out I let out pretty early before the finish line um I felt like I was running way too fast um the way the truck kind of ran down the charger and we come flying by I just I was like man I feel like we're gonna run like another 11-8 so it kind of scared me and uh I decided to let out and just kind of roll the rest of the track right there and hope for the best well I probably should have stayed in it we ended up running a 12-3 not terrible but I knew my next pass I needed to just run it all out and let it eat and and uh we should be pretty good should have a pretty low number between the first pass the 11-8 and then now a 12-3 so as long as this last pass we could do a solid pretty low 12 I thought we had a really good chance of winning the class um however when I come around on the second pass to get my time slip I could feel something with frostbite just didn't feel right it it she it was feeling like like something was dragging or something was hanging up like it just didn't it was feeling weird I really couldn't describe it um it kind of just felt like something was wrong I I don't know I I could feel it must I could I could just feel it my bones I was like man something some don't feel right but I don't know what it is I can't get out and I can't look at it I can't change anything I can't pop the hood I can't look at nothing so I'm like well screw it the truck's running it's moving let's go send it see what happens so anyway let's pull up to the burnout box for the last pass and let's see what went down from the time that was bad that was bad so as soon as I came out of the burnout box on the last pass right there I knew something was jacked up not good and it was scaring me I was trying to decide after I came out of the burnout box I was like man I don't even know if I want to run the truck um I had the guys right there that was operating the tree they were kind of looking at me like come on man hurry up get this thing up here and let's run I'm sitting here trying to make decisions like man should I send the truck down should I should I not um and I was like screw it we're just gonna send it man screw it so last pass let's see what happens you know I didn't want to just throw away the first two passes I thought we were still in it but uh we weren't by long shot we wasn't so after I come out of the burnout box the truck was just like stopped I mean it was like someone put the brakes on and to get the truck to move you could even hear me I was having to really get in the gas pedal and every time I let off it was just like stopping um man I was like ah my rear end locking up or is some of the transmission going down um I have a brake problem you know I'm I'm like what the heck's going on with this thing so anyway on the fly I'm like screw it we're just gonna send it so I pull up I I get the truck staged you know I was having an issue trying to get it to to roll up there half smoothly with it not wanting to roll uh very well so we do the same thing we did the last two passes we we hit the uh two-step trans brake we're sitting there bouncing off the rev limiter and uh let go of the button and I knew right then it felt like a turd this is a big old frozen chunk of poopy I mean it felt like I was pulling a 30-foot camper behind the truck the whole way down the drag strip and it just it felt like a turd I was like man I don't know what's wrong with this truck but please just finish let me get to the finish line and and don't go stupid or anything like that let's just get to the end of this thing so we can be done and go look at the truck see what we broke so I get to the uh ticket booth I get the time I see the time I'm like yeah we've we didn't win this class by far bye bye bye bye so I and obviously we did not someone someone ended up winning it with like a 12 uh like a 12-1 or a 12-0 like 93 or something like that but congrats to that guy he did well uh his car worked great and uh anyway so after we get our time slip and I pulled the frostbite over to the trailer popped a hood um I'm still having issues honestly you know a lot of you guys know like a year ago I ended up getting COVID and I still am having some issues with being able to uh smell some things sometimes I can smell pretty good and sometimes I just still can't smell crap and uh so John Cope comes over there and he's like man I smell brakes and I'm like do you he's like yeah I smell some brakes and uh I'm like yeah something ain't right the truck's not wanting to roll so maybe that's it and uh so anyway we grab a jack and we jack up the back tires because we're figuring you know it's probably the back tires because I don't have a line lock I'm always you know foot breaking it and the burnout and whatever so we've pretty much figured maybe the rear calipers are jacked up on it or something well we jacked the back up both tires roll pretty good we're like well that ain't a problem so I go over to the front uh passenger tire jack it up and uh I can't roll that tire to save my life I grab it I'm bare hugging it and I mean I cannot move it I don't even know how the truck was moving it but I guess with all the weight power of the motor it was actually forcing it to to roll instead of it just locking up and skidding it was rolling um but man that thing I couldn't roll it you know physically I just I couldn't move it I knew something was jacked up uh we had a bearing or a caliper or something jacked up so then I went over to the other side jacked it up checked it same thing it wouldn't roll at all either right damn calipers must be stuck or something um so I grabbed a wrench I loosened the bleeder on both of them to see if maybe that would free it up it did not it was still still remained stuck tires would not move so we tore apart we found this well I'll be dipped in shit and rolling breadcrumbs yeah that's that's a complete garbage right there right um never in my life have I had two calipers stick and do that at the same time I've had one do that before uh not on frostbite but on other vehicles but I've never had to go at the same time uh the same way I have no idea how that happened or how it happens or what happened uh if you know put a comment down there and tell me because me and John was trying to like juggle ideas off of our head and I don't know um I mean it's definitely not like I'm holding the breakdown going down the track the whole time so I don't know the truck you know truck has 150 000 miles on it uh those are new brakes and rotors however the calipers are probably still the original ones on the truck I I don't know you know I bought frostbite it had 98 000 miles on it so I really don't know what all was done to it but the calipers took a dump um it slowed us down tremendously obviously and it cost us that race but it is what it is it could have been worse um so I sent my wife my best friend down to the store they picked up some calipers that uh the local advanced auto had on the shelf and we actually fixed the truck right there uh within an hour we had it all done and it was back up and going again time for the pro class the pro eighth mile class that I decided I was going to run in because John Cope was going to was running in it initially until his truck decided to um flake out on him and he had to take it off the track that was the main reason I wanted to do the eighth mile pro class because I wanted me and John was wanting to race each other a few times and we didn't we wasn't able to make that happen uh under the circumstances it just couldn't happen um and the reason he did the eighth mile pro was because he wanted to use his trans brake but he didn't want to go and do the whole idling thing and all that stuff um he just he just wanted to go and race and whatever and I get it um I like running quarter mile so does John but that's why I decided to do both classes because I wanted to do both I wanted to do the quarter mile and uh the quarter mile would let you do the trans brake in the true street class and the only other class that would let you do uh trans brake was the pro uh the pro eighth mile classes I believe that's why John went that way as well um so anyway we get the truck fixed literally barely in time for the pro classes to start racing and I mean I I almost missed it um I literally by like three more minutes and I would not be able to make my first pass and I wouldn't have been able to run in that class get race where you know reaction time matters a lot um the number you dial in to you know that you think you're gonna run matters a lot and obviously you know um winning or losing the you know it's not really a big deal if you win or lose I guess the race too much it's more on your dial in time and your reaction time um I'm still new to the whole bracket race thing and obviously and honestly I still suck at it um because I don't bracket race that much but we're trying to get there so looking at my time slips I'm like okay I think we can do like 750s um in the eighth so I ride on the windows 750 for my dial in time I pull up there just barely in time like I said to to make a pass and the truck did good it I mean it frostbite literally almost ran exactly what I was trying to run I think it ran 720 or 725 so we did good there we actually ran much closer to our dial in time than the guy that I raced however he still won because his reaction time was tremendously better than mine um so he still won based off of the how that math breaks down and again it's it's kind of confusing but he still won so that kicked me out on the first round which sucks but hey at least I'm just happy we fixed the truck we was able to at least try to run in that class and we made one pass the truck did good it didn't break um but it is what it is and that was it for mo party as far as racing goes for frostbite and then uh right after that that was pretty much it rain started to move in and it washed everything out the rest of the night and uh sunday was pretty much a a done deal all the vendors was leaving and that pretty much killed mo party for sure however we had a blast I got to hang out with john for a little while I got to meet some of john's buddies up there that was racing as well uh I seen a couple ended up meeting a few followers up there that seen me at the torch storm booth so that was cool also ran into uh boosted motorsports had the hell kota at the track and uh which I've already posted a lot of those videos he did the burnout contest as well um the that the code is awesome that's for sure and uh we had a good time until the rain came in other than that guys that does it for the video as always stay safe out there and we'll see you on the next one
