The Journey to World Cup: Preparations and Excitement

As we gear up for the World Cup, our team is working tirelessly to ensure that everything is in place for a successful event. One of the key components of our preparation is having reliable and efficient transportation. Our current vehicle, which has been with us through thick and thin, has proven to be bulletproof, but we're always looking for ways to improve and have a backup plan in case anything goes wrong.

We've recently acquired a brand new push vehicle that will accompany us to the track. We had a smart car delivered to our location, courtesy of a kind stranger who saw our need and was willing to help. The smart car has been a game-changer for us, with its compact size and ease of use making it an ideal vehicle for navigating tight spaces on the track. With the smart car, we'll be able to transport our gear and equipment with ease, and have the added benefit of AC, which is a luxury we won't need to worry about.

Our trailer has been a faithful companion throughout this journey, providing us with the necessary space to store our gear and equipment. We've made sure that it's in top condition, with all the necessary tools and supplies on hand. The trailer has proven to be a reliable workhorse, allowing us to transport everything we need to the track with ease.

The Smart Car: A Game-Changer

We're excited about the addition of the smart car to our team, not just because it's a new and exciting vehicle, but also because it fills a specific need for us. We've been struggling to find a reliable push vehicle that could keep up with us on the track, but the smart car has proven to be a perfect solution. With its compact size and ease of use, we'll be able to navigate tight spaces on the track with confidence.

The smart car is also going to provide us with an added layer of convenience. We won't have to worry about charging it, as it's battery-powered, which will allow us to focus on what matters most – racing. The smart car has already proven itself to be a valuable asset, and we're excited to see how it performs at the World Cup.

A Close Call

As we were testing out the smart car, we had a close call that could have had serious consequences. We managed to squeeze the smart car into our trailer without any issues, but it was a tight fit. The smart car's tires rolled onto the pallet, and we had to hold our breath as we waited to see if it would fit.

The outcome was a resounding yes, as the smart car fit perfectly into the trailer. We were relieved and excited at the same time, knowing that we'd found a reliable and efficient push vehicle that would serve us well at the World Cup.

A New Trailer: A Game-Changer

We've recently acquired a new trailer, which has been a game-changer for our team. The trailer is larger than our old one, providing us with more space to store our gear and equipment. We've made sure that it's in top condition, with all the necessary tools and supplies on hand.

The new trailer has proven to be a valuable asset, allowing us to transport everything we need to the track with ease. We're excited about the possibilities that this new trailer presents, and we can't wait to see how it performs at the World Cup.

A Special Thank You

We want to extend a special thank you to the booster boys who have been supporting our team throughout this journey. Your generosity has meant the world to us, and we're grateful for your kindness. As a token of our appreciation, we'd like to invite you to visit our website and take advantage of any discounts on our trailers over $5,000.

In conclusion, we're excited about the preparations we've made for the World Cup. With our new push vehicle, trailer, and team, we're confident that we'll be able to compete at the highest level. We can't wait to see how everything comes together and to share our experience with you all.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell guys it's been a long time but we finally got the radicy up on the lift here this thing has been sitting for a few months now I mean it's been like a year I don't even know how long it's been browski's been down for quite some time last time we had it out we took it to the track and we broke a lot of stuff in the drive train particularly the rear axles we tried to make some homemade custom axles and they did not last very long at all so I think it took out the transfer case too didn't it I don't remember but it broke a lot of stuff it also bent that front bar up there because the motor was shaking um it also broke the half shaft I think that's oh yeah yeah since then the Vantage has been sitting for a while because we actually took some measurements and we got some custom rear axles made for this thing because that's one of the final things that we can upgrade in the drivetrain for the route to see I'm really hoping we don't have to do it but there is also the chance that we could do a pro level differential in the transmission and then we'd be running the same axles that the MR2 has but in the front of this thing usually with the all-wheel drive setups you don't need to do that you can get away with five nines that the van already has so those are upgraded we actually got the Harden half shaft so that is upgraded now as well and if you look right here this is one of our new rear axles from the drive shaft shop and just to show you guys the difference in size this is the Hub that was in there you can see how much smaller this spline is compared to our new Hub right here that fits the new rear axle so a lot beefier and these are made with much better material overall so we actually already went ahead and got this side done before I got this knocked out this was the side that the van was sitting on jack stands for a few months and we put this side together so we could get it back over here and this axle is already in and everything is good to go and we had to make some modifications just to make sure all the brakes and everything like that still work fine uh we are going to be switching this thing to a hydraulic e-brake as well it will no longer have the cable driven uh handbrake so I've got rid of some stuff and upgraded a whole bunch of stuff so now I just got to get this side back together got to get the new Hub pressed into the spindle over here then that side can go back together we can hook the drive shaft and everything back up then we can move on to fixing that front bar up there that bent we're going to reinforce that sump so that doesn't happen again and we're trying to get this thing ready for the 1320 video ice cream Cruise which is coming up in Nebraska because we are going to be out there and I always love bringing the router about event to do the roll races that's where I have the most fun in this thing and then after that we can see if the upgraded drivetrain here will finally survive a launch at the drag strip and we can actually run a decent pass in this thing but she's a big girl so we just gotta upgrade until we can't upgrade anymore and eventually it's gonna make a clean hit so this was the traction bar came off of the routesy when it was at the track it wheel hopped really hard when it broke everything and this tab right here went to a mid plate that we made and you can see that it actually kinked the bar you can see the paint chipping off right here so it shook some stuff up pretty good this piece is from Innovative and it was a direct bolt-on for a first generation Honda Odyssey and we had ourselves a brand new one right here and this one is Not Bent and this one was hand delivered by Ken himself he actually flew over here their new shop isn't too far so he actually brought this and dropped it off for us and we can get this guy bolted onto the radissy we have to add that tab back on to go to that mid-mount there and on top of that not only are we going to fix the bent one but we also have this bar right here and it fits very snugly inside of this tube and we are going to add that inside of there as well and weld that inside of there just to help strengthen this and right now Y is working on a rear mount to go off the back of the transmission right here we're going to tie that into the mounting points right here where the steering rod go is to help keep everything from moving around in case it wheel hops again all right guys got the radissy lowered back down this is gonna be the first start in a long time you can see how much crap we got in the engine bay we even had freaking mud wasps building homes on the intake there but we're gonna go ahead and start this thing up she's all back together ready to go that front bar is back on we are solid all-wheel drive system should be fixed upgraded axles go ahead and try it he's been sitting you come on that's a lot of water foreign water in there yeah I don't know I mean it was under the carport the whole time it was on the outside though so maybe the rain's coming into the angle got it in there just after months of sitting it finally filled it up what it is just gives us the reason Going Hammer it down the street get all that out of there no pretty good right there Rousey's back boys custom axles weren't enough last time they tried their hardest and they held for a couple rolls yeah once we tried to launch it they were done all right guys we got a pretty big announcement and some updates to give you guys on the MR2 here we are officially signed up for World Cup finals this year in the MR2 which is one of the biggest drag racing events in the country you guys have seen us go several times in the past we're usually just visiting though watching all of the awesome action happening but this year we are actually participating with the MR2 incident I've always wanted to be a part of and luckily they changed some things around with the rules and we're actually able to get the MR2 into a class and we're going to explain a couple things real quick so sit tight while I go through some stuff because we've been all over the place with what I wanted to do next with the MR2 it was about four months ago when this thing blew up at a Cletus and cars we'd have the Billet block ready but I wasn't sure if I wanted to send it just yet and a lot of the reasoning behind me wanting to put a stick shift in the car was to have something we could run at World Cup because if we put the Billet Block in there and made it stick shift we could put it in stick shift and have no issues whatsoever but then we'd be run in with some really gnarly cars I really wanted to run it in a class called wild Street and the reason we couldn't have done that previously is because the MR2 is rear wheel drive right and a rear-wheel drive car a true rear wheel drive car that has the engine in the front like a four link in the back that chassis will have advantages over front-wheel drive cars and most all-wheel drive cars to make it fair for everybody they have weight requirements and turbo size limits that apply to the different chassis to kind of balance out the playing field the MR2 isn't a true rear wheel drive car it's mid-engine with IRS in the back and this thing doesn't even 60 foot as good as all-wheel drive cars with the same turbo K series setups that are out there and the issue with us is that we would have to weigh a ton more than the MR2 currently is and we just couldn't make weight and it just was in this kind of gray area because it's not a true rear-wheel drive car but I talked to one of the event organizers and we were actually able to get a rule added in for any mid-engine rear-wheel drive cars now we have a weight deduction to kind of help even all of that out so we're actually able to qualify now for a class in World Cup and we can meet all of the requirements so with that being said we are full on sending it boys this was kind of a last minute thing we found out these rules less than two weeks ago and made the decision to send it so going off of what he was talking about with the rules is it not only allows us to run in that class but it actually lets us be competitive in it so instead of having to add 200 pounds to the car drop down on turbo size to where we wouldn't have a chance in heck to run this event now with all the updated rules we actually could be competitive as long as we can get the car to cooperate because why throw a Billet Block in it if we can't go to be competitive anyways so now that we can and there's a chance that we could actually do something in the event you know now is the time to do it we got a big opportunity we could be competitive at World Cup we're putting the Billet Block in the MR2 and not only are we upgrading the Billet block I mean if we're going out there to send it we happen to have a 83.85 laying around that was meant to go on the 2J Civic as you guys just saw but it's not going to need this thing anytime soon so we might as well hook this unit onto the MR2 because with the right housing it will bolt on to our manifold no problems at all and that will make 100 200 more horsepower than the previous turbo did and that guy will definitely push us over 200 miles an hour if we're wanting to send it so the last thing we want to do is make it all the way to eliminations if we make it that far and not have enough power not have enough turbo to go full send and I know that's what you guys would like to see so we started making plans to get this thing ready to go we have less than what two months if that like a month and a half but we also have week a couple week-long events between now and then so it's going to be all hands on deck trying to get this thing ready the goal is to out testing by the second week of October and that's going to be a tall order because we're gone for a whole week in two weeks yeah we don't have to do we don't have too much time but we've already started making progress like he was saying we're kind of redoing a bunch of stuff on the car I started with the wiring got everything ripped out of the car this is all stuff that's just kind of been modified and added on to over the time because it was kind of a rush to get it ready the first time we did the car to make fuel Tech and set the seven second record so the harness has just kind of been there but not complete so we got ahead or went ahead and ripped everything out we're going to be redoing that from scratch utilizing a PDM and just a whole lot nicer stuff all the way across the board for the car making it so that we shouldn't have to touch it again and along with that we are that bad boy we're upgrading to the Ft 600 from fueltech so as of right now this is the baddest unit you can get from fuel Tech and the main reason we were going to this guys just because we need some more inputs and outputs we're missing a lot of sensors that we've been meaning to add on the MR2 like back pressure on the turbo coolant pressure oil temp just a whole bunch of other things that we didn't have enough outputs to add but now we'll have all the outputs we need with the ft 6 hundred this guy's just been sitting ready to go the day we decided to put the Billet Block in the MR2 we were kind of holding off on all this but uh yeah that will be going in there that's pretty much exactly like the 550 but you can see it has some added uh LEDs all around it so you can have like a shift light up here and all that stuff and yeah we'll have all the inputs and outputs you need now's a good time to plug our code use code boosted boys at fueltech.net so I have five percent and uh yeah be sure to do that because this Trip's not going to be a cheap one boys along with the fp600 we're getting some other goodies from them which are going to be really cool this thing's going to be a monster once we get it back and running on that Billet block you guys thought the MR2 was quick before if everything goes to plan I mean there's no reason why this shouldn't do a backflip in neutral I mean this thing should be able to go low sevens on the right pass I don't know if it's gonna be six second capable I don't think I don't know if the MR2 will ever go sixes that's just so out there but you never know there's no reason this shouldn't go like bottom seven like realistically if everything goes good on this combo we should see like 7 30s yeah seven thirties maybe seven twenties and based on the results from last year that would be a front runner car in the class we're racing so I don't know or it's going to blow up first try and go home and that's that yeah I guess we're gonna find out we go home with a big hole in our pockets yeah a big hole in the pocket and the block be a really shitty day but yeah I know that was a lot of talking but I just kind of had to run you guys through what the game plan was and where the MR2 has been these last few months but here's the announcement boys Billet block 83.85 bigger tires on the back need to upgrade the brakes ft 600 hopefully 200 miles an hour World Cup finals this year I'm not swinging bro Coming Out Swinging yep and we're gonna try to have a backup motor the backup motor will be cast because we don't have enough time or money to do a Billet blocking engine as a backup right now and I'm also going to try to have a backup sequential if it's in the budget it's just a lot of stuff adding up very quick that was honestly one of the main reasons I wanted to get a trailer upgraded other than the other one falling apart but you guys saw we're gonna need a push vehicle once this goes to Billet block we're gonna need a golf cart for the trailer so I've been I've been playing him boys I want to make it to World Cup and the MR2 is the only one capable of actually being competitive making it to World Cup keyword there on the trailer upgrade if we can make it to World Cup we'll call that a win and then we'll see what happens after that all right guys before we get the MR2 back together I went ahead and pulled the transmission apart here and I'm getting ready to change the final drive ratio in this thing back when I originally built the car I planned on Street driving it so I imagine going down the highway I wanted it to be in the lower RPMs and just have a cruising gear in fifth but the car has evolved into a dedicated drag car and this whole time we've only been using four years when the sequential is a five speed so there's a whole nother gear that we are not utilizing and what this final drive change will do is kind of bunch all of our gear ratios closer together or at least our power band will crunch closer together and we'll actually use all five gears going down the quarter mile which will give us better acceleration throughout the whole run because I mean that fifth Year's just been in there chilling doing nothing this whole time so right here I got a 4.7 final drive this was from my buddy Mark over at gp1 racing the one that's in there right now is a 4.3 all I got to do is pull the diff out of this trans swap over this Crown gear and swap the gears off of this counter shaft onto this new one right here put it all back together and we're good to go we'll have all five gears and another awesome thing to note is that the transmission is looking freaking beautiful here boys almost no wear and tear all the dogs look great I mean really love to see it I know we've had some issues with the sequentials in the past but lately they've been dialed ever since I started welding the nuts I haven't had any issues with these things so this has ran multiple seven second passes it's looking great I'll definitely give it a once over before it goes back together but it's just crazy that when we first put this thing together I was getting so many messages saying how these sequentials wouldn't hold the power and that they would fail and we were first ones to really push one of these things to the Limit not only is the MR2 the first MR2 and the sevens but this is also the first sequential K series sequential to go sevens which is pretty awesome and now all these other uh K series guys are going to the sequential because they have just been proven and it's just awesome to see and there's all-wheel drive Civics out there going low sevens now with these things utilizing all five gears and I'm sure that helps with their you know low end acceleration as well it's also going to help us in first gear some because we have had issues with the car bogging on a really good track so it's going to give us some more download Torque and just keep that power band right where it needs to be so we're going to be running all five gears not just four so we'll go ahead and get this swapped over and hopefully that helps us out foreign foreign guys the sequential is all back together with the new final drive for the MR2 here we are waiting on the Billet engine to get done at jbr which it should be getting wrapped up here pretty soon then once we get that back we can start getting this thing back together and we're going to be upgrading a few things just like you guys saw we're going to also put a bigger turbo on it that's also going to need a bigger fuel system to support because we're about tapped on fuel system a whole bunch of stuff to update you guys on once we get that far and the plan is to have two of these ready for World Cup so I have a backup in case anything happens to this one even though this thing has been bulletproof it would be nice to have a fresh unit waiting there ideally if I could get a brand new one with the same ratios as this I'd start with the brand new one and then this would become our backup since it has been used and abused but I don't know if that's in the budget this trip is going to be very expensive for us but I really want to make it happen regardless that's why we've been preparing with the trailer and just all this other stuff and we have one more thing to show you guys but if you're feeling so generous feel free to grab something off the boostedboys.com but we got one more thing to show you guys and then we'll wrap this video up well guys as you saw we're getting ready for World Cup and we're gonna need a push vehicle and I had this guy bring us a smart car that I found on Marketplace he was kind enough to drive it over because we need to test fit this thing into the trailer so I've been looking for a golf cart or a smart car to bring with us to the track and after I saw the prices of golf carts I realized that we could get a smart car for about the same price plus we'll have AC we could register it take it down the road and a lot of guys at World Cup use smart cars as push Vehicles I'm just not quite sure if it's going to fit so we need to confirm with an actual Smart Car the measurements say that it should work and if you guys come over here because you know we have the steps on the trailer and I just took a pallet and put a section of it out and it actually fit perfectly right here because the tire of the golf cart or in our case smart car will roll right over this but it should fit it's gonna be a tight squeeze but if we can actually get a smart car in there that would be really awesome to have with us at the track because it would be a lot more useful than just the golf cart I would believe so we're gonna see if we can go ahead and pull this thing up in there and if she fits then I'm gonna buy it from this guy and we'll have ourselves a push vehicle for the track over here again I can call out the passenger window if I need to or the driver one well you probably open that door it might open too right we'll have to put in some other boats but yeah my worry was this book but we can still get to that just fine and the strap would be like right here it'll be fine yeah I think that's gonna do yeah that's the I think that's the unit there pay the man all right she fits she fits I'll give you what you asked for but 500 for a ride home I think that's gonna be way better than a golf cart it'll have way more power we don't have to worry about charging it I was gonna get like a newer uh like your golf cart man yeah you gotta carve it your car go downtown if you need to that's what's nice yeah if we have any issues with the truck and trailer we can unload everything we got a emergency vehicle with us all right she's in there he's gonna have to find a way to strap that thing down make sure it doesn't go anywhere but dude this trailer was the move don't forget guys right trailers they keep the racers in mind you can fit a whole freaking Smart Car in there along with the cabinets or a golf cart if you need a push vehicle with your race car and if you say that the booster boy sent you you'll get a discount on any trailer over five grand but I'm freaking pumped that's gonna be awesome having the Smart car at the track they're just getting the Smart car cleaned up right now it's definitely been sitting in the sun for a while but we just gave it a bath a lot of the Plastics are pretty faded like on the mirrors and around the front of the windshield there and I took my small blow torch and we're starting to bring some of the black back to the plastic so I'm just going to touch her up a little bit and start with this mirror right here if you look real closely we can bring it right back it's almost New Again gotta be careful not to burn it though just like that works so good well guys that's gonna be it for this video got the radissy running the MR2 is going to World Cup and we've got a sick new pit vehicle which I'm pretty pumped about so sorry it's been a while since we posted got a lot going on thank you guys for watching and we'll see you later thank youwell guys it's been a long time but we finally got the radicy up on the lift here this thing has been sitting for a few months now I mean it's been like a year I don't even know how long it's been browski's been down for quite some time last time we had it out we took it to the track and we broke a lot of stuff in the drive train

manifold no problems at all and that will make 100 200 more horsepower than the previous turbo did and that guy will definitely push us over 200 miles an hour if we're wanting to send it so the last thing we want to do is make it all the way to eliminations if we make it that far and not have enough power not have enough turbo to go full send and I know that's what you guys would like to see so we started making plans to get this thing ready to go we have less than what two months if that like a month and a half but we also have week a couple week-long events between now and then so it's going to be all hands on deck trying to get this thing ready the goal is to out testing by the second week of October and that's going to be a tall order because we're gone for a whole week in two weeks yeah we don't have to do we don't have too much time but we've already started making progress like he was saying we're kind of redoing a bunch of stuff on the car I started with the wiring got everything ripped out of the car this is all stuff that's just kind of been modified and added on to over the time because it was kind of a rush to get it ready the first time we did the car to make fuel Tech and set the seven second record so the harness has just kind of been there but not complete so we got ahead or went ahead and ripped everything out we're going to be redoing that from scratch utilizing a PDM and just a whole lot nicer stuff all the way across the board for the car making it so that we shouldn't have to touch it again and along with that we are that bad boy we're upgrading to the Ft 600 from fueltech so as of right now this is the baddest unit you can get from fuel Tech and the main reason we were going to this guys just because we need some more inputs and outputs we're missing a lot of sensors that we've been meaning to add on the MR2 like back pressure on the turbo coolant pressure oil temp just a whole bunch of other things that we didn't have enough outputs to add but now we'll have all the outputs we need with the ft 6 hundred this guy's just been sitting ready to go the day we decided to put the Billet Block in the MR2 we were kind of holding off on all this but uh yeah that will be going in there that's pretty much exactly like the 550 but you can see it has some added uh LEDs all around it so you can have like a shift light up here and all that stuff and yeah we'll have all the inputs and outputs you need now's a good time to plug our code use code boosted boys at fueltech.net so I have five percent and uh yeah be sure to do that because this Trip's not going to be a cheap one boys along with the fp600 we're getting some other goodies from them which are going to be really cool this thing's going to be a monster once we get it back and running on that Billet block you guys thought the MR2 was quick before if everything goes to plan I mean there's no reason why this shouldn't do a backflip in neutral I mean this thing should be able to go low sevens on the right pass I don't know if it's gonna be six second capable I don't think I don't know if the MR2 will ever go sixes that's just so out there but you never know there's no reason this shouldn't go like bottom seven like realistically if everything goes good on this combo we should see like 7 30s yeah seven thirties maybe seven twenties and based on the results from last year that would be a front runner car in the class we're racing so I don't know or it's going to blow up first try and go home and that's that yeah I guess we're gonna find out we go home with a big hole in our pockets yeah a big hole in the pocket and the block be a really shitty day but yeah I know that was a lot of talking but I just kind of had to run you guys through what the game plan was and where the MR2 has been these last few months but here's the announcement boys Billet block 83.85 bigger tires on the back need to upgrade the brakes ft 600 hopefully 200 miles an hour World Cup finals this year I'm not swinging bro Coming Out Swinging yep and we're gonna try to have a backup motor the backup motor will be cast because we don't have enough time or money to do a Billet blocking engine as a backup right now and I'm also going to try to have a backup sequential if it's in the budget it's just a lot of stuff adding up very quick that was honestly one of the main reasons I wanted to get a trailer upgraded other than the other one falling apart but you guys saw we're gonna need a push vehicle once this goes to Billet block we're gonna need a golf cart for the trailer so I've been I've been playing him boys I want to make it to World Cup and the MR2 is the only one capable of actually being competitive making it to World Cup keyword there on the trailer upgrade if we can make it to World Cup we'll call that a win and then we'll see what happens after that all right guys before we get the MR2 back together I went ahead and pulled the transmission apart here and I'm getting ready to change the final drive ratio in this thing back when I originally built the car I planned on Street driving it so I imagine going down the highway I wanted it to be in the lower RPMs and just have a cruising gear in fifth but the car has evolved into a dedicated drag car and this whole time we've only been using four years when the sequential is a five speed so there's a whole nother gear that we are not utilizing and what this final drive change will do is kind of bunch all of our gear ratios closer together or at least our power band will crunch closer together and we'll actually use all five gears going down the quarter mile which will give us better acceleration throughout the whole run because I mean that fifth Year's just been in there chilling doing nothing this whole time so right here I got a 4.7 final drive this was from my buddy Mark over at gp1 racing the one that's in there right now is a 4.3 all I got to do is pull the diff out of this trans swap over this Crown gear and swap the gears off of this counter shaft onto this new one right here put it all back together and we're good to go we'll have all five gears and another awesome thing to note is that the transmission is looking freaking beautiful here boys almost no wear and tear all the dogs look great I mean really love to see it I know we've had some issues with the sequentials in the past but lately they've been dialed ever since I started welding the nuts I haven't had any issues with these things so this has ran multiple seven second passes it's looking great I'll definitely give it a once over before it goes back together but it's just crazy that when we first put this thing together I was getting so many messages saying how these sequentials wouldn't hold the power and that they would fail and we were first ones to really push one of these things to the Limit not only is the MR2 the first MR2 and the sevens but this is also the first sequential K series sequential to go sevens which is pretty awesome and now all these other uh K series guys are going to the sequential because they have just been proven and it's just awesome to see and there's all-wheel drive Civics out there going low sevens now with these things utilizing all five gears and I'm sure that helps with their you know low end acceleration as well it's also going to help us in first gear some because we have had issues with the car bogging on a really good track so it's going to give us some more download Torque and just keep that power band right where it needs to be so we're going to be running all five gears not just four so we'll go ahead and get this swapped over and hopefully that helps us out foreign foreign guys the sequential is all back together with the new final drive for the MR2 here we are waiting on the Billet engine to get done at jbr which it should be getting wrapped up here pretty soon then once we get that back we can start getting this thing back together and we're going to be upgrading a few things just like you guys saw we're going to also put a bigger turbo on it that's also going to need a bigger fuel system to support because we're about tapped on fuel system a whole bunch of stuff to update you guys on once we get that far and the plan is to have two of these ready for World Cup so I have a backup in case anything happens to this one even though this thing has been bulletproof it would be nice to have a fresh unit waiting there ideally if I could get a brand new one with the same ratios as this I'd start with the brand new one and then this would become our backup since it has been used and abused but I don't know if that's in the budget this trip is going to be very expensive for us but I really want to make it happen regardless that's why we've been preparing with the trailer and just all this other stuff and we have one more thing to show you guys but if you're feeling so generous feel free to grab something off the boostedboys.com but we got one more thing to show you guys and then we'll wrap this video up well guys as you saw we're getting ready for World Cup and we're gonna need a push vehicle and I had this guy bring us a smart car that I found on Marketplace he was kind enough to drive it over because we need to test fit this thing into the trailer so I've been looking for a golf cart or a smart car to bring with us to the track and after I saw the prices of golf carts I realized that we could get a smart car for about the same price plus we'll have AC we could register it take it down the road and a lot of guys at World Cup use smart cars as push Vehicles I'm just not quite sure if it's going to fit so we need to confirm with an actual Smart Car the measurements say that it should work and if you guys come over here because you know we have the steps on the trailer and I just took a pallet and put a section of it out and it actually fit perfectly right here because the tire of the golf cart or in our case smart car will roll right over this but it should fit it's gonna be a tight squeeze but if we can actually get a smart car in there that would be really awesome to have with us at the track because it would be a lot more useful than just the golf cart I would believe so we're gonna see if we can go ahead and pull this thing up in there and if she fits then I'm gonna buy it from this guy and we'll have ourselves a push vehicle for the track over here again I can call out the passenger window if I need to or the driver one well you probably open that door it might open too right we'll have to put in some other boats but yeah my worry was this book but we can still get to that just fine and the strap would be like right here it'll be fine yeah I think that's gonna do yeah that's the I think that's the unit there pay the man all right she fits she fits I'll give you what you asked for but 500 for a ride home I think that's gonna be way better than a golf cart it'll have way more power we don't have to worry about charging it I was gonna get like a newer uh like your golf cart man yeah you gotta carve it your car go downtown if you need to that's what's nice yeah if we have any issues with the truck and trailer we can unload everything we got a emergency vehicle with us all right she's in there he's gonna have to find a way to strap that thing down make sure it doesn't go anywhere but dude this trailer was the move don't forget guys right trailers they keep the racers in mind you can fit a whole freaking Smart Car in there along with the cabinets or a golf cart if you need a push vehicle with your race car and if you say that the booster boy sent you you'll get a discount on any trailer over five grand but I'm freaking pumped that's gonna be awesome having the Smart car at the track they're just getting the Smart car cleaned up right now it's definitely been sitting in the sun for a while but we just gave it a bath a lot of the Plastics are pretty faded like on the mirrors and around the front of the windshield there and I took my small blow torch and we're starting to bring some of the black back to the plastic so I'm just going to touch her up a little bit and start with this mirror right here if you look real closely we can bring it right back it's almost New Again gotta be careful not to burn it though just like that works so good well guys that's gonna be it for this video got the radissy running the MR2 is going to World Cup and we've got a sick new pit vehicle which I'm pretty pumped about so sorry it's been a while since we posted got a lot going on thank you guys for watching and we'll see you later thank you\n"
