Heavy Weight & 2JZ Class THROW DOWN + New Builds BREAKING NECKS (TX2K Day 4)

The Road to TX2K: A Week of Excitement and Challenges

This week has been an exciting time for fans of the Texas 2K, a popular drag racing event that brings together top drivers from around the world. The event has been filled with thrilling performances, surprising upsets, and even some unexpected challenges. For one driver, BR Brook, this week was particularly notable as he experienced something rare - a rear tire blowout in two separate cars.

BR Brook's experience is a testament to the unpredictability of drag racing. In his car, one of the rear tires had a chunk out of it, and another of the front tires had a similar issue. To address these problems, Brook decided to switch out some of his tires with new ones, even though he hadn't experienced any issues like this before. "I don't know how common this is," he said, "but I figured it was worth trying." This decision will likely pay off for him in the coming days as he prepares for eliminations.

The Texas 2K has also brought out some impressive performances from drivers who have qualified for the event. One driver, Brett, has been particularly impressive, with his car consistently running strong and earning top spots in qualifying sessions. His show car is a real head-turner, and he's been polishing it every day since Tuesday to make sure it looks its best.

Despite the excitement on the track, the weather has not been cooperating with the event organizers. A rainstorm rolled in just as Brook was talking to Brett about his experience, and it looks like it may continue throughout the rest of the day. The track is currently being cleaned up, but another storm cell is expected to move in soon, bringing more rain and potentially causing delays.

The rain has not deterred fans from enjoying the event, however. Many have been taking photos and videos, and some have even been purchasing merchandise at the TX2K booth to take home as souvenirs. The line for merchandise was already long before the rain started, but it's expected to get even longer now that fans are seeking out dry gear.

The Joe Roga Podcast has also been a popular destination for fans looking to stay up-to-date on all things TX2K. The podcast is known for its in-depth analysis of the sport and its drivers, and this year's event has not disappointed. From the latest car builds to the most shocking upsets, there's always something new to talk about.

As the day winds down and the rain shows no signs of letting up, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of eliminations tomorrow. With a full day of drag racing on tap, including eliminations in both street car and 640 categories, it promises to be an exciting day for everyone involved. Will Brook's tire woes prove to be a blessing or a curse? Can Brett continue his winning streak? And what will tomorrow bring for the rest of the field? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - the TX2K has delivered once again.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right get welcome to day four of our tx2k 24 coverage here in Enis Texas Texas Motorplex the first Year's Event here in Andis this is our last qualifying day of drag racing and we're not going to see a ton of cars each the glasses pulling up here cuz some of them are just worn out this our eighth qualifying session because they were so worried about 3 days of rain that tx2k decided to do as many qualifiers as they could early in the week and now we've got seven of them done to start eight tomorrow we're going to be doing drag race the minations so you're definitely not going to miss that if you saw and if you missed our eliminations from Roll Racing yesterday make sure to check the link in the description below lots of Crazy Action happened yesterday drama fires wrecks everything you name it you don't want to miss that let's get this Greg racing single shot 17 that is quite the break back for eliminations but it looked like it probably spit something out of either the rear end or oh no the square body breaking the drive shaft rear how was that put a little rley in here was it loud inside it was a little loud that's an accomplishment that's you have to go for your first seven tomorrow I guess I'll try we'll try ass H ass yeah hey broke the Yogo oh while they're prepping the track right now I want to give a big shout out to Matt him and I are on a team if you guys haven't figured out from our coverage Fred and Nick are here on one shift and then we're on the other shift one pair of us stays out late on the streets Texas streets and then comes in in later in the day and then one other half goes to sleep earlier and comes in earlier to the track and we decided to pull in all nighter we haven't got to sleep yet we came straight from downtown or Northern Dallas to here after some interesting street action you guys have to keep an eye out on our channel for that that's pretty good it's worth a check out it's been ups and downs got some cash days action some Roll Racing action keep an eye on our channel for that stuff here's a few teasers but uh no sleep today once it starts raining here eventually we're going to go sleep till theight and then start it all over again here comes our A90 class does anybody here know who the king dingling super is right now I don't I don't know which one so right now the fastest in this class would be Mikey is he up here he's not up here right now okay he's he's just kicking it back right now yeah I think he's taking his time you know chillaxing he you know about what time he qualified with uh I think he ran a 780 I think damn I don't know 780s out of this thing and no offense but they're just so they're just so figured out they're just smooth and unless they do a big wheelie yeah yeah but if compared to like the marvs are all over the place these SE is so sorted so sorted it's like just a little cruise down the down the track 780s and these cars just came out a few years ago that's impressive what are you guys hoping to run um brand new car hasn't gone down the track you know a full pass yet okay still getting it sorted yep yep hopefully you can run a low like 80 or seven um but this car should be really good so we'll see how it goes this round new player of the field here in the A90 class and you can run Supras or BMWs with the same Ed I believe see mainly Supras up here and that's how this event started was Mark four Supras and now we have the mark five Supras here bring the A90 engine and they go to class there's 2JZ class with old school cars and there's the A90 class with once again I am M 931 off the starting line so this is not going to upb either one of their standings they will get on the sheet as completing a run boy he said Yeehaw cuz his boy had a cowboy hat on please make sure you no well that's going to take a minute to clean up all right after after our A90 class we had the 2JZ class so we have three white markv Supras in a row yet another JDM car that is Out Of Reach of realistic pricing these things stock are going for like 10 and something Grand in good condition look how clean this one is right here turned into a little bit of a drag car but all shined up I love when people make the car look real nice speaking of really nice this is like the most spotless this and white rice are like literally show cars you could go get awards at a car show with getting them all polished up un GTR uned our number one qualifier white rice was not in the lanes when I was up there earlier and I just saw him fly by they must have decided last minute because of the cleanup they got going on for the last 30 minutes they had time to get the car ready and they wanted to make a pass so they're up here which will be cool they're already number one last minute change change of mind we might not get another run so that's true we're going to I think we they going to to Grudge uh Bret oh we want to Pi a pass right now or later later later okay cool I was I was wondering why I didn't see up here earlier but I mean number one already yeah whatever we weren't going to run but like I said they P they give us some money we run it run it we told him 5,000 line this is all the time he so that run will not count not only did white rice run up here to make a pass but he's paired up next to his teammate the dirty Taco we're going to see both of them go side by side and see if they go better than their current qualifying up real quick it does ch 19 out of gas not going to go than his first pass but another 6sec pass at that and the white rice get some data because that was not a good pass he doesn't want to do that in eliminations so they'll figure some stuff out on that so they can go rounds tomorrow 56 at 197 that will our next class up is the GTR 68 mm class and they're required to have 68 mm turbos in stock location it's a very interesting class cuz that class used to be like mid uper 7sec passes now we're in the 6sec range we've got only a hand small handful of them up here and our number one qualifier David from the AMS Camp he laid down a 68 pass first qualifying pass of the event and he's just been kicked back drinking beer all week since then since Tuesday uh but I want to show you one of these cars we got right here look at the paint on the Jr is this paint is it paint it's beautiful look at all the details on this car like little holes for the turbos in here it's got some gorillas on the uh the cut out for the exhaust what's the is there a name for the Paint Champagne quz metallic what's that it's a champagne quartz metallic BMW factory color oh no champagne quartz metallic I don't know if you can see it I wish the sun was out right now but it's nuts I love when people do factory colors from other brands on a different car and you never know what the hell it is but it just looks wild this car is beautiful and uh these cars in this class are going mid to low sevens and a six from David well we've known that there's a good chance of rain today we're hoping about 11:00 12:00 it's just been drizzling for like an hour so everyone's just kind of hanging out checking out the cars it's a great time to be at the track you don't usually get a bunch of downtime while drag racing is going on so people are getting a chance to take a close look at the cars but we're hoping we get a couple more hours of racing if this drizzle stops but if it just keeps going we're just going to sit around and hope for hours and that's the most painful thing about sitting in track waiting for weather we just want it to pour or dry up so we can race or go home that's like the most uh anxiety you get at a drag race so many badass cars here in the lanes I love tx2k hopefully we'll be going to racing here in a few minutes d there you go guys now we're into our street car class which is broken into a few different classes based on ET Prett fast cars the fastest the fast check out this mustang look at this paint job on here I thought it was a w but some amazing paint look at the interior as well but immediately as you can see on the is this a SEMA build or something this thing is wicked beautiful love it just a build what's that just a normal build y I love it what was the reason for sticking the turbo all out the hood uh something different everybody hates it so I love it the paint's amazing who did the paint work I did oh you did no kidding nice work what's been your best pass so far uh hadn't made a clean pass in two years first set up what are you hoping for uh 680 690 somewhere around there sweet it's crazy how fast you had to be in this class now right it's crazy cool good luck man yeah thank you beautiful car thank 197 hey time for the seven yeah going to do it going to do it not the seven this time just okay got to make sure everything's good right is this your first pass on the new motor first pass new motor so it's all right turned out a little bit but uh a to B perfect yeah good luck man so Kyle put a new engine in this two days ago blew it up came down from Canada blew it up swapped a new engine in here over in Texas went over Thompson Motorsports picked up a new engine swapped it in here two days ago here he is hoping run his first seven had a few upgrades in the motor that they picked up so he's very hopeful not this fast but tomorrow sometime he wants to do it yeah okay 866 for Kyle apparently we got a little Grudge Match here Reaper versus Bo and lucky coming up two nasty looking Challengers two nasty Challengers I guess this a good a grudge race between boosted lucky and just a little sleep deoration update my alarm from yesterday just went off at 10:40 a.m. to come here to the track that was the last time I woke up um doing pretty good so far though Fred will be here in about an hour and a half that going to some after that hasn't rained yet which is great for racing I was just hoping to leave go to sleep the race goes on no no no no no no no damn it stop stop stop stop stop damn it dude that was one of my favorite freaking cars yeah that's a good wheelie that was you must have done that a few times before yes what it does every once in a while every once in a while that was like one of the smoothest lay downs of a wheelie two chops in air and throw it in h gear and hope for the best are you serious come down without power exactly what to do still pull off a low9 yeah I got to click it off abort the pass it up just get it down without tearing nothing up and abort the pass well thank you for the entertainment not boiling down the track that's it time to front it up make put some white on the front and do it again yeah Domino delivery that's it so what do you got Chang to not do that in eliminations tied up the struts probably take some RPM leave out we wanted to see what the track would take so it took it the da is a lot better today def it's like 1,000 foot versus like 1900 yesterday so TI the front end up a little bit Yeah they take yeah I did not expect it we changed rear gear to calm that down and it just took it I'm like golly here we go last year was a blue Mustang this year too although he was way higher you like tapped the back bumper I think I think so D I can't watch watch the flow racing replay or what you have on 13 man it'll be up cool thank thank you nice work thank you it it takes quite a bit of talent to go up on a wheelie that big and not panic and hit the brakes or just let off all together you literally just have to finesse it down just like he did and that was beautiful 777 1 7 57 jrod's back what's up buddy yeah you've had some Adventures yeah man that was crazy 48 Hours you know we we went 775 I think we ended up going number one qualifier in the by the way I guess 777 you went 775 77 whatever it is whatever that number is we're number one I was 200 off you're you almost guessed it you you've been around this car enough yeah so uh yeah then I had to literally drop what I had here drive 300 and something miles back to Oklahoma in a record time my wife is in the emergency room with Co and pneumonia so I have two kids at home so I had to go home take care of them for the last two days so we're back today we're back in the lanes and we're going to make an eighth mile hit just to make sure everything's good to go Jay's here now I got my guys from misfire here that work on the car so yeah um you were at the bottom of the fastest class we got bumped and then you got bumped to the top of the second class which is exactly where you want to be right I heard I don't know if this is true but Brian Luna wrecked and then a Nova wrecked and they were both qualified and I heard that they're going to move the ladder up I don't I don't know how I've never been in a race you're hoping a couple people jump some people go 770 or FAS yes okay cool cuz I know I'm not going to turn it up even if I turn this car up it'll probably go like a 707 but I ain't got nothing for those 6 620 630 640 went 220 whatever the hell he yeah so I have nothing for that but we're out here and we're doing what we do and uh it's racing anything can happen no glad to have you back awesome brother good seeing you line it's time let's go stick ship racing and both of them in the kn that was great shot mph for 681 684 wow hey I don't think I've seen it move that hard to the it's never done that yeah and I don't know if so I yesterday I I chunked the the other day I chunk the tire so on a slick car you need some wheel speed right you need some wheel speed and the problem is is when they prep for radio cars you don't want wheel speed so it's a very sticky tight track what shook the tires really hard the other day and put a couple chunks in the tire yeah I saw a few of those this week exactly so that BR Brook went through the same thing right so and that's very uncommon for me so I bought four tires brought four new tires and had some old tires well yesterday one of the rear tires had a chunk and one of the fronts had a chunk so I they were basically World Cup and I put two new fronts so essentially where I'm at is I'm going to put the two fronts in the rear and I'm going to put two brand new on the front just so I have for eliminations tomorrow starting with something good so fresh yeah but it's never moved like that before and I was like this is not common at all like ever and I just don't know like I gave it a lot more Jam there too so that I overpower hard but it started spinning that back rear and that's the one I changed so I I think I'm going to put equal grip that's what I'm going to do all right cool man hopefully your set up good for eliminations tomorrow hopefully well even if I'm not I'm here to have fun so we're good H yeah miles is always smiling even when he blows up his car he's smiling if you've seen our videos over the last eight years falling miles he smiles regardless is lifting we go for 911 after going 53 I came over here to talk to Brett but it's starting to rain and he's got a show car he's just been polishing it every day since Tuesday when he made his one qualifier and put his car to the top of the uh the ranks here actually I think he made two qualifiers we got to see one on Thursday you can see that in our video from 2 days ago 3 days ago I don't know but he's putting it back in the trailer here still number one qualifier here in street car 640 I believe something like that um quite the badass we'll be seeing him in eliminations tomorrow but no qualifier for Brent today and I think based on the raindrops I'm feeling right now we might be calling it for a few hours here unless it stops but uh this could be a little bit heavier rain I fig out I feel like I saw this thing on the street last night feel like I did I feel like I saw that thing on the street last night no I think there's another one another one another one I like that well I was you know in case the owner is here and he was on the street I was going to bring a Red Bull cuz I know he didn't get s that app no not you yeah there there was another one that was out there
