The Best 64: Cars Ever Done So Racing is Underway at ZMAX

As we set out to find the best 64 cars ever built, racing is underway at zmax and a few updates have been following my favorite car of the trip. Richey Crampton's Johnny Lambert has been making waves with his crazy funny car engine powered wagon, which made an exhibition pass on the third day. Unfortunately, they had to drop out on the first day due to mechanical issues, but they're back and ready to rock.

The contraption is a sight to behold, with 3,000 horsepower blown Hemi 3000 plus, making it one of the craziest cars ever built. Not just limited to street driving, Johnny's car features a throttle body right on the engine, which was a game-changer for Street driving. Another favorite car on display is Green Nitro Coupe, unfortunately, it suffered from a mechanical issue on the road last night and didn't make it to the track today.

With that, we're off to the track and will be showing you some of the highlights from today's 9-6 event at ZMAX. The driver took a few laps, but had to slow down due to issues with the car. Despite this, they were able to hit speeds of over 140 miles an hour. We'll also be watching as Ben tries to make up ground in the javelin pack, and see if he can come out on top.

As we head into day three of Drag Week, we're excited to see what's in store for us. The road ahead is full of surprises, including traffic from evacuation centers and a few mechanical issues that need to be ironed out. But with the right attitude and determination, these drivers will make it through and come out on top.

The road trip continues, as we hit the open road and head towards Bristol, Tennessee for the fourth competition day. With Hurricane Florence still causing chaos in the area, we're hopeful that the weather will be a lot better up there. We'll be seeing plenty of straight lacers and expert drivers, so it's anyone's game.

As we make our way to Bristol, we've got word of a few cars that are out, including the infamous Dirty Thirty. Unfortunately, Tom Bailey's car has been torn apart, and he and Steve are trying to figure out why. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for them, hoping that they can get back on the road soon.

For now, it's time to hit the road and see what the day brings. You can watch all the highlights from today's event on our next video, so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned in for more updates from Drag Week 2018.
