TX2K Day 1 From 1320Video: 200mph races, Kyle’s FIRST R8 passes, & MORE!

TX2K is a huge event nowadays, but I remember the early days when almost all of the coverage you’d see from the event was coming from 1320Video and most people hadn’t even heard of it. It’s one of Kyle’s favorite events of the year, and with good reason as they helped so much to make it the monster event that it is today. But I know that Kyle’s favorite thing about going to TX2K in 2021 was getting to roll race his newly finished twin turbo R8, because not only did the car look great and put a big smile on his face, but it also kicked ass at the event. It was cool to see just how well he did with it, and we’re super thankful for all the cool coverage he and the boys put together for this year.

Watch the video below and we’ll bring you the rest of them over the next couple of days.

In this first video you are going to see 200mph runs, Kyle Roll Racing his R8, and so much more. Enjoy.

This Snowmobile Vs. Jetski Chase Video Proves That Anything Goes In Finland!

I should’ve known it from the moment I saw the action kick off. Two jet ski riders and a guy who is driving…not skipping across, like we’ve seen, but actually driving…a snowmobile on water. Like it’s a normal freaking thing…it’s just another day in Lahti, or Kuopio, or Kajaani, nothing to see here. Intended to be a Hollywood style chase scene, what we really have is a Finn on a sled, on water,  telling physics to eff itself. At several points we were expecting to see the snowmobile dip just a little bit too far below the water and risk hydrolock, but the rider, Joni Maununen, does a superb job of keeping everything together and right at sea level.

I’m calling it right now: the only reason you don’t see Finnish actors in American action movies is due to the language barrier. That’s it. And that’s sad. If Arnold Schwarzenegger can overcome a thick Austrian accent and do all that he did, certainly a wiry Finn with little regard for personal safety can make it big as an action star.

Video: 1987 IHRA Angus Nitro Showdown – It Was A Big Money Showdown In Bristol For IHRA’s Best

If you love 1980s top fuel racing, you’ll totally love this. You are about to watch the 1987 IHRA Angus Nitro Showdown which was the big money shootout that the IHRA had for their top fuel class back in the day. Just to bring the money end of things up to speed, it paid a total of $25,000 and in today’s world, that’s basically $50,000. This was a HUGE payday for IHRA racers back in the day. The competition? Gene Snow, Connie Kalitta, Dan Pastorini, Michael Brotherton, John Carey, and others. The names are awesome because they represent drag racing legends and some of the guys who were gutting it out in this era, making it race to race on the IHRA tour.

The other neat thing is the fact that this event was sponsored by Angus Chemical who was the largest provider of nitromethane for drag racing in the country for many years. At this point, very little if any nitromethane is actually made in American anymore but someone had their thinking cap on to get Angus involved in this shootout which they were definitely fueling.

The action is called by Bret Kepner and Ted Jones and the scene is Bristol Dragway. You’ll see the track in all of its late 1980s glory. It looks loads different now because of the massive renovation and basically a rebuilding process that happened in the late 1990s/early 2000s but this track has been and will always be an important one in the annals of drag racing.

Classic IHRA action on tap below!
