NO PREP? NO PROBLEM! Brad and Braeden Hager’s Stick Shifted No Prep 1986 Ford Mustang LX – As far back as anyone on this planet can recall, humans have been drag racing. Here at RPM, we’d like to think that early cavemen got their kicks from one on one straight line action by hopping on an evenly matched pair of smaller, less ferocious, creatures and having at it to see who gets the most meat from the days kill.
THE DEUCE! No Ordinary Hemi Challenger! Dan VanHorn’s Twin Turbo 2009 Hemi Challenger – Dan VanHorn is one of those people who always loved cars but didn’t truly dive head first into this crazy world of horsepower until the Gen 3 Hemi came along. Dan’s first Gen 3 was a 2006 Dodge Charger, and as soon as he brought it home, he began to get the itch and that’s when he knew the Mopar community would become a big part of his life.
DU HAST…Yes Sir, it’s a 1978 Datsun, BUT Beware of what Lurks Within! Stephen Eades is a Chevy man through and through but you might question that statement when you first see his latest creation. Although Eades grew up around cars and has been into anything with four wheels back as long as he can remember, with limited resources to work with, Stephen had to work hard to buy bolt-ons for his cars, which were all LS Chevy Powered.
FUTURAistic – This Pro Street Falcon build has been a journey of family and friends. Maybe back in 1964 the Ford Falcon Futura was thought to be the car of the future…and in one respect it was. The body was much smaller than most North American offerings and featured some aerodynamic-looking bodylines, which would catch on a few decades down the road, but aside from that, it wasn’t packed with any ground breaking innovation. The Falcon was a model produced by Ford from 1960 to 1970 ½ with the ’64 hardtop being the most popular.

YELLOWBULLET NATIONALS – MAYHEM IN MARYLAND!
Labor Day weekend is considered to be the unofficial end of summer by most unless you are a fan of the Yellowbullet Nationals, then it’s the start of a wild race weekend, one last hurrah before you get the kids to school, close the pools and prepare for the fall. The country had been under siege by record setting heat waves this year. All eyes were on the forecast for Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Maryland which was hot days, cool nights and not a chance of rain in sight. Race promotor Monty Mikho and his wife Maria were prepared for this race with help from the team at Cecil County Dragway.
