Big news for Street Outlaws fans! Daddy Dave is set to make his highly anticipated radial racing debut with his Audi at the upcoming Lights Out event next week. He’ll be competing in the No Time 275 class, a category that has been drawing serious attention—and serious money—on the racing circuit.

What is No Time 275?
For those who might not be familiar, No Time 275 is a high-stakes class where racers compete without revealing their elapsed times (ETs). This keeps competitors guessing and fuels the excitement of the big-money shootouts. Many top-tier racers, including Justin Swanstrom, have made a name for themselves in this style of racing, which has become one of the most competitive and secretive formats in the drag racing world.
A New Challenge for Daddy Dave’s Audi
This will be the first time Daddy Dave has taken his Audi to a radial event. While he’s never run the Audi on radials before, he does have past experience with radial tires—back in 2017 or 2018, he put his Goliath car on radials when it was equipped with a ProCharged 41X setup. He previously competed at either Lights Out or No Mercy, but this time, it’s all about the Audi.

The Audi has undergone some serious upgrades to get race-ready, including:
A fresh Nunan Hemi built by Carl Stevens at Xtreme Racing Engines
A brand-new transmission and converter
A completely reworked rear-end setup
Fresh radial tires, perfectly prepped for battle
Given how well some No Prep Kings (NPK) cars have performed on radials in the past, there’s a good chance Daddy Dave’s Audi could be a serious contender in No Time 275. The car already looks incredible on the smaller tires, and with the right tuning, it could be a rocket on the track.
Street Outlaws Taking Over Lights Out
Daddy Dave isn’t the only familiar face making waves at Lights Out. Murder Nova will be competing in Pro 275, where ETs will be shown, and Justin Swanstrom will also be racing in No Time 275. There’s still some speculation about which car Swanstrom will bring—whether it’ll be the Green Promod Camaro "Money Bag" or "Prenup," but either way, he’s expected to be a top competitor.

Other Street Outlaws racers rumored to be attending include Todd Fallon and Jimmy Taylor, both set to battle it out on the radials. The crossover between No Prep Kings, Street Outlaws, and radial racing is becoming more frequent, and it’s exciting to see these drivers take their talents beyond NPK.
A Look Back at Street Outlaws on Radials
This isn’t the first time Street Outlaws racers have dipped their toes into radial racing. Back in 2016, Big Chief and Murder Nova made headlines when they ran at "Radial vs. the World" and "Pro 275," respectively. Even Reaper took a shot at radial racing, proving that these drivers are willing to step out of their comfort zones and compete in different formats.
Final Thoughts
All eyes will be on Daddy Dave as he takes his Audi to Lights Out for its radial racing debut. With a fresh setup and a competitive field, this will be a race to watch. If his car hooks and runs like we think it will, he could be making some serious noise in the No Time 275 class.
