Hey everyone! Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to source for all things Street Outlaws. Today, we’ve got some exciting news about the OG Murder Nova—yes, the legendary car driven by Shawn Ellington—competing at Lights Out 16 in the Pro 275 class. Let’s dive into the details and take a look at what this means for fans of Street Outlaws and drag racing alike.

First off, let’s flash back to 2016. Can you believe it’s been almost nine years since Shawn first took the OG Murder Nova to Lights Out 7 in the same Pro 275 class? Back then, the car was running a twin-turbo big-block Chevy setup and managed to reach the semifinals—an impressive feat for the time. Shawn’s car ran in the 4.20s or high 4.30s on the track, which was considered blazing fast back then.
But here’s the thing: Pro 275 racing has evolved dramatically. Today, cars in this class are significantly faster, and the competition is tougher than ever. Fortunately, the OG Murder Nova is no stranger to upgrades. Since its last outing at Lights Out, this iconic car has undergone a massive transformation. It’s now sporting a new chassis and an upgraded MH7 Hemi engine paired with a ProCharger 140 D1. That’s a far cry from its old setup and a clear indication that Shawn is pulling out all the stops.

For those who’ve followed Shawn’s journey, you know the OG Murder Nova isn’t just a car; it’s a symbol of grit, determination, and Shawn’s passion for racing. Over the years, it’s proven its mettle on big tires, even running in the threes. Now, Shawn is aiming to show what it can do on a 275 drag radial. If past performance is any indication, the car’s newfound speed and precision could make it a serious contender in the Pro 275 class.
What makes this even more exciting is the potential for Shawn to shake things up at a Duck X Productions event. These events are known for their highly competitive atmosphere and often feature racers who don’t shy away from throwing a little shade at the Street Outlaws crew. Seeing Shawn and the OG Murder Nova perform well at Lights Out 16 would be a fantastic way to prove the doubters wrong.

But that’s not all—he’s not the only Street Outlaws star getting in on the action. Daddy Dave is also set to compete at Lights Out, though he’ll be racing in the No Time 275 class. Dave’s reputation for skill and consistency means he’s likely to put on an impressive show as well.
Meanwhile, Shawn’s No Prep Kings (NPK) car is being prepped for the upcoming season. Although we’re still waiting on the official NPK schedule, it’s clear that the Street Outlaws crew is making the most of their time by exploring other racing classes. This willingness to branch out and compete in diverse events adds a new layer of excitement for fans. It’s not just about dominating one arena; it’s about proving their skills on any stage.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the OG Murder Nova’s performance at Lights Out 16. How will it stack up against today’s Pro 275 heavyweights? Will Shawn’s experience and the car’s upgrades be enough to make a deep run in the competition? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: it’s going to be an epic showdown.
So, mark your calendars and stay tuned. We’ll be bringing you all the updates, recaps, and behind-the-scenes insights from Lights Out 16 and beyond.
