Hey everyone! Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, where we dive into all the latest updates and action from the world of Street Outlaws. Today, we’re bringing you some exciting news about the OG Murder Nova and the possibility that it could be ready to shake things up in next year’s No Prep Kings (NPK) series. Photo by Annette Bauer Creative The OG Murder Nova is Getting Some Major Love As many of you know, the OG Murder Nova has been a fan favorite for years. This iconic car, driven by Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington, has been through quite a few changes, and now it's back in the shop getting some significant upgrades. According to recent updates from Shawn’s Facebook page, the OG is currently at DMC Racing, the same chassis shop that originally built it around 2020-2021. It’s getting some serious attention, and the possibilities are looking pretty exciting for what’s next! The chassis that was installed a few years back was top-notch, although, at the time, it wasn’t quite as light as they wanted it to be. Even though the car had an excellent setup, it was still a bit on the heavy side because it didn’t have much titanium. And as many of you gearheads know, titanium isn’t cheap, but it's a game-changer when it comes to shaving off weight. What Can We Expect from These Upgrades? One of the key changes that’s likely happening is a reduction in the car’s overall weight. Lighter cars have a huge advantage in drag racing, especially in competitive series like NPK. The team at DMC Racing is working on installing titanium parts, along with a few other upgrades, to get the OG Murder Nova closer to that magic 2,800 lb mark. If they can get the weight down, the car’s performance is bound to improve on both small and big tires. Photo by Isky Racing Cams What’s really exciting is that even though the car is currently running an older Prine Hemi MH5 motor, it still packs a punch. The MH5 has proven to be a beast, and Chris Rankin, who’s also running one, has been extremely fast lately. So, it’s clear that the OG Murder Nova still has plenty of potential under the hood. A Potential No Prep Kings Contender? Here’s where things get really interesting. Shawn himself has hinted that the OG Murder Nova could make its way to No Prep Kings racing next season. This is big news because, as we know, Shawn's current NPK car is performing incredibly well—it’s currently sitting at the top of the NPK points standings, which is a huge accomplishment. But the truth is, the OG Murder Nova might have an even better chassis than the current NPK car. If Shawn and the team can get the weight down and possibly upgrade the engine to the newer MH7 motor, this car could be a serious contender in No Prep Kings or No Prep Elite next year. The OG Murder Nova has already proven its worth on both small and big tires, so it’s not hard to imagine it tearing up the track in NPK. What’s Next for Shawn and the OG? For now, the OG Murder Nova is still at DMC Racing, getting all these upgrades. But if things go as planned, we could see it back in action soon, possibly with a brand new look and some serious speed improvements. Shawn has hinted at releasing a video update on their YouTube channel, so we’re all waiting to hear more about what’s going down with the build. Photo by Isky Racing Cams In the meantime, the current NPK car is still going strong, holding onto that #1 spot in the championship standings. But could the OG be the car to take Shawn to a whole new level next season? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—next year’s NPK season could be even more exciting if the OG Murder Nova joins the ranks. So, what do you guys think? Could the OG Murder Nova be the next NPK champion car? Drop a comment below and let us know your thoughts. And as always, stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks for all the latest updates on your favorite racers and cars. Keep it fast, keep it loud, and we’ll see you at the track!

The Street Outlaws scene is buzzing with excitement, and if you’ve been keeping up with all things Monza, then you know that his iconic split bumper Camaro is getting a major overhaul. Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ve been following this build closely, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated comebacks in the racing world. So, what’s in store for Monza’s beast? Let’s dive into the details! Photo by Team Monza 405  A New Era for Monza's Camaro For those who’ve been fans of the Street Outlaws franchise, Monza’s Camaro is legendary. Over the years, we’ve seen this car go through several transformations, each one making it faster and more competitive. From the initial 632 cubic-inch nitrous motor to the 765 cubic-inch big block, and then the transition to the powerful twin-turbo 481X combo, Monza’s car has always been a force to be reckoned with. The latest news? Monza’s Camaro is moving away from the twin-turbo setup and going ProCharger . That’s right, the split bumper Camaro is gearing up for a serious power boost, and it’s going to be lighter, faster, and more aggressive than ever before. A Lighter and Faster Build In this new build, Monza is making some strategic changes to increase the car's speed and handling. The first major shift is weight reduction. With the use of titanium components , the car is shedding pounds and optimizing its weight distribution. Monza also plans to move the motor back a few inches, improving the car’s balance and performance. These adjustments should make the Camaro an absolute monster both on the street and in competitive races. Photo by Team Monza 405  The ProCharger Power The heart of this rebuild is the ProCharger F4X 136 , a highly controversial but undeniably powerful blower. Fans of NPK (No Prep Kings) will remember the drama surrounding this ProCharger, as it was a key player in the weight break discussions of Season 6. Despite the controversy, there’s no denying the F4X 136’s ability to generate massive horsepower. Interestingly, the F4X 136 is believed to be a rebranded version of the earlier F4 140, which has become a staple in competitive racing. The ProCharger Hemi combination has been one of the most potent setups in recent NPK seasons, and it’s likely Monza’s Camaro will follow this proven path. What Engine is Coming? One of the big questions surrounding Monza’s Camaro is: What engine will he pair with the ProCharger?  While nothing is confirmed, the safe bet is on a Hemi. Monza has been working closely with ProLine Racing , and if history is any indication, the Hemi-ProCharger setup would be a logical and powerful choice. It’s the combination that has dominated in recent years, offering the best of both worlds when it comes to street and track performance. Photo by Team Monza 405  While Monza is not currently competing in NPK, the door is always open for him to take this beast to future no-prep events, or even hit the streets in some of the most grueling real no-prep races out there. There’s also a lot of speculation about whether Monza will take his rebuilt Camaro back to street racing roots, possibly even on smaller tires to compete in true no-prep races. Whatever the case may be, this build is all about versatility and maximum performance. What’s Next for Monza? The anticipation for Monza’s split bumper Camaro is through the roof, and fans of Street Outlaws can’t wait to see this car back in action. With the lightweight build, ProCharger power, and a potential Hemi under the hood, this Camaro will be faster than ever. Whether we see it on the street or at a no-prep event, one thing is certain—Monza isn’t playing around. We at Street Outlaws Talks  are excited to see how this build evolves, and we’ll be keeping you updated every step of the way. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we watch one of the baddest cars in the game make its return. Stay Tuned for More! Make sure to subscribe to Street Outlaws Talks for all the latest on Monza’s Camaro and everything happening in the Street Outlaws world. From race updates to build breakdowns, we’ve got you covered. Let’s see how fast Monza’s split bumper can go in 2024!

Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, your one-stop shop for all the latest news, updates, and insights into the exciting world of Street Outlaws! In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the current No Prep Kings (NPK) championship points standings following the recent Tulsa race. If you’ve been keeping up with the intense competition, you’ll want to stick around as we break down the key highlights, the leaders, and what to expect in the upcoming races. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Tulsa Race Recap: A First for Clay Cole The action-packed event in Tulsa did not disappoint! The standout moment was Clay Cole’s  performance, where he not only reached the finals but also secured his first-ever NPK event win . This major victory has given Clay a significant boost in the championship standings. As for Shawn Ellington , who was already the points leader coming into Tulsa, he made it to the finals but was ultimately bested by Clay. Despite this, Shawn maintains a comfortable lead over his rivals. However, with the next two races offering points-and-a-half (that’s 15 points per round ), the competition is heating up fast, and his lead could still shrink. Points Standings After Tulsa: Who’s on Top? Following Tulsa, Shawn  remains at the top of the leaderboard, but Clay Cole has jumped into the second position. Meanwhile, Ryan Martin  and Robin Roberts  are tied with Clay, making the top of the standings incredibly tight. Here’s how the points shake out after the Tulsa race: Photo by Street Outlaws No Prep Talk What’s Next? Points and a Half, Double Points, and Tight Racing Ahead The next two races are going to be crucial, with points-and-a-half  up for grabs, meaning each round will be worth 15 points. This could shake up the standings in a major way, especially since the final race  will offer double points . Even though Shawn has a strong lead, a single bad day could open the door for others to surge ahead. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  This season has already shown that anything can happen, with Shawn experiencing some tough days earlier on. With everything on the line in the final races, every round matters more than ever. Upcoming Matchups: Shawn, Robin Roberts, and More Looking ahead, the first-round matchups for the next race are shaping up to be intense. Shawn  is set to go head-to-head with either Chris Rankin  or Nate Saylor , while Robin Roberts  will face off against either Jeff Lutz  or Jim Howe . Robin had some tough luck in Tulsa with his car blowing up, so he’ll need a quick recovery to stay competitive. These matchups add even more excitement as the season barrels toward its conclusion. With the championship and a $150,000 prize on the line, the pressure is mounting for every driver. The Final Races: Rockingham and Beyond All eyes are now on the upcoming races, especially at Rockingham , which is known for its fast track and great conditions. With only two races left, things are set to get even more intense, and the competition for the No Prep Kings championship will be fiercer than ever. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Can Shawn Hold On? While Shawn currently holds an 80-point lead over some of the competition, the next few races will be critical. The points structure for the final events makes it possible for anyone in the top rankings—Clay Cole, Ryan Martin, or even Robin Roberts—to make a move. A bad day for Shawn could turn the standings upside down, so the pressure is on for him to perform at his best. The unpredictability of NPK racing means that anything can happen, and Tulsa showed us exactly that. With the final races approaching, the race to become the No Prep Elite Champion  is going to be one for the books! At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re here to bring you all the latest updates on this exciting championship season. Be sure to stay tuned for more coverage as we follow the drivers through the final stretch of the season! Keep up with all the latest from the No Prep Kings series and more, right here at Street Outlaws Talks!

At Street Outlaws Talks, we're always keeping a close eye on the exciting developments in the world of No Prep Kings racing. With the No Prep Elite Finale fast approaching at the end of October, fans are buzzing with anticipation. One major point of interest is the debut of Adrian Herrera, a Texas-based racer, and his brand-new 1967 Chevelle. It's a car that has everyone talking—and for good reason! Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk The Car: 1967 Chevelle with Serious Power Herrera’s Chevelle isn’t just a throwback to classic muscle. It’s a modern beast packed with cutting-edge tech, designed to tear up the strip. Under the hood, it’s powered by a monstrous 590 cubic inch Hemi engine built by Bullet Racing Engines. And to top it off, it’s paired with a powerful F4X-140 ProCharger—a combination that promises some serious horsepower. ProCharger setups are becoming increasingly popular in the No Prep world, and Herrera's build is no exception. This Chevelle, with its high-powered engine and top-tier blower, is expected to perform at the highest level in the Outlaw Big Tire class. A New Challenger in No Prep Kings While Adrian Herrera may be a fresh face in the No Prep Kings scene, he’s definitely not someone to be underestimated. Racing at the No Prep Elite Finale will be a great test for both him and his car. Although Herrera won’t be competing in the elite 16 of the Invitational Racers—since he’s not yet part of that exclusive group—he could still make waves on Friday at the Finale, potentially facing off against some of the big names in the sport. Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk It’s not just a one-and-done appearance for Herrera either. Many fans are already speculating that he could make a full-season debut in No Prep Kings  Season 8. With a car this fast and Herrera’s clear drive, the next season could see him battling it out with the sport's top-tier drivers. An Eye on the Rules One interesting note about Herrera’s Chevelle is its 590 cubic inch engine. Under current No Prep Kings rules, boosted combinations like his ProCharger Hemi are limited to 585 cubic inches. With Herrera's setup exceeding that limit, there’s already talk about how this will play out. Some believe he may need to make adjustments or possibly run with additional weight to meet the rules—similar to how the Gucci Nova, running a 570 cubic inch Hemi, has to carry an extra 50 pounds. Whether or not the rules change, it’s something Herrera and his team will need to address to stay competitive. New Faces, New Cars: What to Expect in Season 8 What’s especially exciting about the upcoming season is the influx of new talent and fresh cars. We’ve already seen names like Chevy Reeves join the mix, driving Monza’s old Chevelle, and now with Herrera stepping up, it’s clear that Season 8 is shaping up to be a game-changer. Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk There’s even more to come next year. With drivers like Cody Baker returning and several others rumored to join, fans are in for a treat. No Prep Kings—or whatever the series may be called next year—is sure to be packed with action, fierce competition, and faster cars than ever before. Looking Ahead The No Prep Elite Finale in Texas is going to be an event to remember. With Adrian Herrera's debut and his powerful Chevelle set to make its mark, we can’t wait to see how it all plays out. The excitement of new racers and new cars entering the fray makes for thrilling times in No Prep Kings racing. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re here to keep you updated on all things No Prep Kings and Street Outlaws. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or new to the sport, there’s always something exciting around the corner. Stay tuned for more updates, and best of luck to Adrian Herrera as he aims to make a powerful entrance into the No Prep scene!

At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re always excited to bring you the latest and greatest from the world of No Prep Kings (NPK) and street racing. Today, we’ve got some exciting news for those of you who have been itching to get your hands on a serious race car. Two competitive NPK cars might be hitting the market soon, and if you’re in the hunt for a proven performer, this could be your chance. Photo by Lil Legend "Bobby Ducote"  Bobby Kotti's Firebird – A Contender on the Track First up, we’ve got Bobby Kotti’s Firebird. This car isn’t just any build—it’s a machine that’s already earned its stripes in the No Prep Kings series. Built only two to three years ago, it’s still fresh and fast enough to hang with some of the best. In fact, Bobby's Firebird has made it to the Elite 16, meaning it's currently ranked among the top 16 cars in the series. While it may not be a top-five performer just yet, it’s no slouch, either. The car consistently runs low 4.80s to high 4.70s in the eighth mile, making it a strong contender at any No Prep event. And remember, this is in a series where the top cars are hitting mid-4.60s. The car is already a proven competitor, and with the right upgrades, it could potentially crack into the next level. Photo by Lil Legend "Bobby Ducote"  Bobby is considering selling the car as a full package, which includes not just the Firebird itself but two engines—yes, two! If you’re serious about NPK racing, having a spare engine is a huge plus. He’s also throwing in a spare transmission (though that might still be up for debate). It’s a killer deal for someone who wants to jump into the sport with a competitive car that’s ready to go. Doc’s No Prep Car – Old School Power, but Needing a New Chassis Next, we’ve got Doc, who’s also considering putting his No Prep car up for sale. Now, this car has been around for a while, and while it's got all the power in the world under the hood—a screw-blown Hemi, to be exact—the chassis just isn’t cutting it for today's NPK events. The car was originally built for a different era of racing, and while it still packs a punch, it’s just not competitive on the high-quality tracks we see at NPK events today. Photo by Street Beast "Doc"  That said, this car would still be an absolute beast at a true no prep event. If you’re into the rougher, less-groomed tracks where raw power and driving skill matter more than a perfect chassis setup, this car could be exactly what you need. Doc’s car is fully capable of running in the high 3.80s to low 3.90s in the eighth mile, which would make it highly competitive in any no prep series outside of NPK. But if you’re looking to run with the big dogs in NPK, you’d need to make some significant chassis upgrades. Why Are These Cars Being Sold? You might be wondering, why would anyone sell these cars? Well, it all comes down to performance ceilings and future potential. Bobby is likely looking to build something new with more room for growth. His Firebird is already a fast car, but in a sport where tenths of a second make all the difference, racers are always looking for that edge. By selling this car, he can start fresh with something that may have even more potential. Photo by Street Beast "Doc"  Doc, on the other hand, has the opposite problem—he’s got the power but doesn’t have the chassis to make the most of it in NPK events. Rather than invest heavily in upgrading the chassis, it might make more sense for him to sell the car to someone who can make use of it in a different type of racing. What Does This Mean for You? If you’re in the market for a serious No Prep car, now might be the perfect time to buy. Bobby’s Firebird is a ready-made NPK contender, and Doc’s car would dominate in more traditional no prep settings. These opportunities don’t come around often, so if you’re serious about getting into No Prep Kings—or no prep racing in general—these cars are worth a serious look. Photo by Lil Legend "Bobby Ducote"  Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll keep you posted on any updates regarding these sales and other developments in the No Prep world. Stay tuned, and don’t miss out on what could be your next race car! Stay Connected with Street Outlaws Talks We hope this article gives you the inside scoop on these two potential sales.

If you’ve spent any time in the street racing world, you know the name “Big Chief” is synonymous with grit, precision, and heart-pounding excitement. But recently, the talk around Chief hasn’t just been about his legendary status. It’s about his new—or should we say, old—engine choice. Photo by Big Chief 405 Yeah, you read that right. While most racers are chasing the newest, flashiest power plants, Big Chief made a bold move by resurrecting an engine from his past. This isn’t just a blast from the past—it’s a calculated decision that might just give him a huge advantage on the streets. Let’s dive into why Chief’s choice of engine is shaking things up and why it might be the smartest move he’s made in a long time. A Return to the Pontiac: Not Just About Nostalgia When word spread that Big Chief was rolling out a new engine, fans and racers alike went into a frenzy of speculation. Would he go for a monstrous Hemi? Or maybe a high-tech 41X? Everyone expected him to throw down with the kind of cutting-edge horsepower that dominates in races like No Prep Kings (NPK). Instead, Big Chief threw everyone for a loop by bringing back an engine from his glory days—the Pontiac motor that once powered his legendary ride, “The Crow.” Why bring back an old relic instead of chasing the latest and greatest? The answer lies in Big Chief’s deep understanding of what really matters in street racing. The Streets Play by Their Own Rules Sure, in NPK or on a slick, prepared track, raw horsepower is king. The Hemis and 41Xs are beastly engines that can throw down serious power in those controlled environments. But the streets are a different animal entirely. Street racing isn’t just about who’s got the most horsepower under the hood. It’s about balance. It’s about control. It’s about knowing how to make your car respond to the unpredictable conditions of rough asphalt, tight lanes, and chaotic surroundings. Photo by Big Chief 405 This is where Big Chief’s Pontiac engine shines. He’s not just choosing an engine—he’s choosing a powertrain that he knows  like the back of his hand. It’s an engine that he’s danced with before, one that’s proven itself in the heat of street battles. Back in 2017, that same Pontiac motor helped Chief own the streets with finesse. It wasn’t just about the horsepower—it was about the connection between man and machine. Chief knew how to handle it, how to adapt to every curve, bump, and crack in the road. That’s something you can’t just replace with a bigger, badder engine. Why the Pontiac is the Perfect Weapon for the Streets Let’s break it down. Street racing demands more than just brute force—it demands a balance of power, control, and adaptability. Big Chief’s Pontiac motor, while not the most modern, is perfectly suited for the streets. He knows its quirks, its strengths, and exactly how to make it work in the raw, unpredictable environment of street racing. In contrast, a Hemi might dominate on the polished tracks of NPK, but on the streets, it could be a handful. Too much power, too little control, and suddenly the fastest car isn’t crossing the finish line first. Big Chief isn’t just about following trends or chasing after trophies. He’s about racing smart, and that’s why the Pontiac engine is such a brilliant choice for him. It’s not the flashiest, but it’s got heart—and in street racing, that counts for a lot more than horsepower. The Difference Between Street and Track Racing One key thing to remember is that Big Chief isn’t here to dominate NPK. Sure, those events are thrilling, and the competition is fierce. But Chief’s heart has always been in street racing, where it’s not about lap times or fancy setups. It’s about knowing the streets, feeling the asphalt under your tires, and outsmarting your opponents in a way only a seasoned street racer can. While some might wonder whether the Pontiac can keep up with the NPK monsters, Chief’s not interested in that game. He’s here for the streets—and the Pontiac is the perfect weapon for the gritty, high-stakes world of street racing. Big Chief’s Street Advantage At the end of the day, what sets Big Chief apart isn’t just his engine choice—it’s his deep connection to the streets. While everyone else is focused on building the fastest, flashiest cars, Chief is staying true to his roots. He knows that in street racing, it’s not always the car with the most power that wins—it’s the one with the best balance, control, and adaptability. Photo by Big Chief 405 Big Chief’s Pontiac motor might not turn heads for its raw horsepower, but it’s got something more important: heart. And in the world of street racing, that’s what separates the good from the legendary. The Takeaway So, what’s the real story behind Big Chief’s decision to bring back his Pontiac engine? It’s simple—he knows that success on the streets isn’t just about having the newest, most powerful engine. It’s about knowing your car inside and out. It’s about having the experience and skill to make it work in the unpredictable chaos of street racing. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re all about celebrating racers like Big Chief who stay true to the streets. His decision to bring back the Pontiac isn’t just a throwback to the past—it’s a reminder that racing is as much about grit and heart as it is about horsepower. And that’s why Big Chief will always be a step ahead of the competition.

Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, where we keep you up to date with all things No Prep Kings and Street Outlaws! Today, we’re diving into some exciting news that’s been buzzing around the racing community—Ryan Martin and the Fireball Camaro are making big waves as we head into the Michigan stop of the NPK series. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Ryan Martin, a fan favorite and fierce competitor, has been teasing the return of his Fireball Camaro to No Prep Kings racing. With photos of the car popping up in trailers and during testing sessions, the buzz is real. His crew, led by Richard Row, has been hard at work getting this iconic car ready for action, and Michigan looks like it could be the perfect track for Fireball’s triumphant return. Why Fireball Camaro is One to Watch If you’ve been following Ryan this season, you know he’s been bouncing between cars, including his gray Camaro, which he’s had some decent runs with. But let’s be honest—it's the Fireball Camaro that everyone wants to see back on the track. Known for its sheer power and speed, this car has been in testing mode for a while now, and Ryan himself has said that it might be even faster than his current gray setup, especially on a well-prepped track. What makes Michigan so promising for the Fireball Camaro? Well, the track itself is known for being fast, and that’s exactly what this car needs to perform at its best. Ryan and his crew have been fine-tuning this beast for months, and after a few frustrating outings, it feels like they’ve got the right combo to take on the competition. The Technical Edge The Fireball Camaro runs a screw-blown combination, which Ryan has tested at 98% overdrive. According to Ryan’s crew, this setup could give him a major edge over other competitors who are still running ProCharger combinations. When comparing the two, especially in the world of Pro Mod racing, the screw-blown setups tend to outperform ProChargers on tracks with good prep. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  So far this season, Ryan has faced a lot of tough tracks that just didn’t allow the Fireball Camaro to apply all that power. But with Michigan being known for its fast surface and ideal weather conditions, this weekend could mark the Fireball’s big comeback. It’s been said that if this car can hook up properly, it’s faster than anything else Ryan has driven, including his current No. 1 contender, the gray car. Will Ryan Break His Winning Drought? It’s no secret that Ryan hasn’t been racking up as many wins as we’re used to seeing this season. But let’s not forget—this man is still the GOAT of NPK. Even though he’s currently sitting at number five in the standings, it’s clear that Ryan has the talent, the car, and the crew to turn things around at any moment. The Fireball Camaro’s return could be just the thing Ryan needs to get back to his winning ways. Earlier in the season, he experienced some issues when running the Fireball on marginal tracks. But now, with some of the best tracks of the season coming up—Michigan, Steele, Alabama, and Texas Motorplex—we’re expecting Ryan to be back in full force. And let’s not forget about the air quality at these tracks. Good air makes fast cars, and Ryan’s setup is perfectly suited to take advantage of that. All signs point to the Fireball Camaro being a serious contender in the remaining races, and don’t be surprised if you see Ryan standing in the winner’s circle sooner rather than later. What’s Next? As we look ahead to Michigan, the big question remains: Will Ryan Martin and the Fireball Camaro claim another NPK victory? If everything lines up like we think it will, we could be in for one heck of a race weekend. Make sure to stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks  for all the latest updates, race recaps, and behind-the-scenes looks at the world of No Prep Kings. Photo by Fireball Camaro In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for more teasers from Ryan and his crew. The Fireball Camaro is primed and ready, and we have a feeling Michigan might be where it all comes together for the Fireball team once again! As always, we’ll be bringing you more exclusive content and in-depth coverage of all your favorite Street Outlaws racers, so stay tuned!

Hey there, Street Outlaws fans! Buckle up because we’re about to dive into one of the biggest controversies currently swirling in the No Prep Kings (NPK) world. If you’ve been following the racing scene lately, you’ve likely heard the buzz surrounding the recent Outlaw Armageddon event and the potential fallout it could bring for the upcoming races in Tulsa. Photo by Street Outlaws Live What’s the Controversy? At the heart of this issue is a seemingly straightforward rule from the NPK rule book: racers aren’t allowed to test or even appear at any track within 200 miles of an upcoming NPK event in the two weeks leading up to race day. While this rule is designed to maintain a level playing field—preventing racers from gaining an unfair advantage by sneaking in practice runs—the application of it has become murky. The storm of controversy erupted following the Outlaw Armageddon event at Thunder Valley, a track located just 138 miles from Tulsa, where the next NPK race is set to take place. Several NPK racers participated in Armageddon, which puts them in violation of the 200-mile rule. Now, the burning question on everyone’s mind is whether these racers will face disqualification—and what that means for the integrity of the upcoming events. The Implications of Rule Violations For many top-tier racers, each event is a culmination of months, or even years, of preparation. They pour their heart and soul into their cars, all for that electrifying moment when the lights drop. But what happens when they’re suddenly faced with the possibility of disqualification over a rule that seems to lack clarity? Photo by Street Outlaws Live The existing rule exists to uphold fairness in the NPK series. However, the inconsistency in enforcement is raising eyebrows. Some racers have been disqualified for breaching this rule in the past, while others appear to have escaped unscathed. This inconsistency is leading fans and racers alike to question the fairness of the competition. Moreover, the rule itself is ambiguous. It doesn’t specify whether it applies solely when a racer is driving their NPK car or if simply appearing and racing in a different car is enough to warrant penalties. This vagueness has left many scratching their heads, wondering what is truly acceptable behavior in the lead-up to a race. A Call for Clarity and Fairness As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that it extends beyond just the Tulsa race—it poses a broader question about fairness and transparency within the NPK community. Should racers who have participated in the Outlaw Armageddon event face penalties for something they’ve been doing for years, especially if they weren’t penalized for it in the past? Photo by Street Outlaws Live The NPK officials have yet to provide an official statement on whether those racers will face consequences. However, if history is any indicator, it’s unlikely this controversy will fade away quietly. There’s a strong possibility that a significant decision will be made before the Tulsa event. Will some of the top racers be disqualified? Will NPK modify the rule to clarify its application moving forward? Only time will tell. Moving Forward What we truly need is a fair and consistent application of the rules. If the NPK series aims to uphold its reputation, clarity is paramount. No more gray areas or confusing interpretations—racers and fans alike deserve a clear understanding of what’s acceptable and what’s not. So, what do you think?

The world of Street Outlaws is constantly evolving, and one of its most popular figures, Justin Swanstrom, is making headlines again with some exciting news. Justin recently announced that he is building a brand new Pro Mod Corvette, which will be named Karma, set to debut in 2025. This addition marks another chapter in his ever-growing car collection and his pursuit of success in the drag racing world. Photo by Justin Swanstrom  The new Corvette will feature a C7 body style, one of the most iconic and sleek designs that drag racing fans can't get enough of. Paired with a powerful screw-blown Hemi engine, this car is set to be a force to be reckoned with on the track. The design itself is stunning, with a color scheme that's reminiscent of his other well-known car, Bad Blood , giving Karma  that signature Swanstrom flair. Racing in 2025 Justin isn’t just building this car for show—he’s preparing to race it at some of the biggest Pro Mod events in 2025. Pro Mod racing, especially in the eighth mile, has seen a surge in popularity, with high-stakes events like the Snowbirds, World Series of Pro Mod, and other big-money races. It’s clear that Justin is focused on dominating this scene, and Karma  will play a key role in that strategy. But that’s not all. In addition to the new Corvette, Justin will continue to race his current Pro Mod, which he competed with in this year's World Series of Pro Mod, as well as other major events. Justin’s success in recent weeks, including big wins at a Grudge race and NPK Las Vegas, has given him the momentum—and the funds—to keep building and expanding his operation. A Growing Fleet If you're trying to keep track of Justin Swanstrom's cars, you might need to start making a list. His collection has grown rapidly over the years, and now includes several high-profile machines. Let’s take a quick look at some of his other vehicles: Photo by Justin Swanstrom  Prenup : A small tire drag radial car for Grudge racing, Prenup  has proven itself on the strip time and again. Bad Blood : Justin’s current NPK car, which has been a staple in his arsenal. New 1967 Mustang : Another exciting project on the horizon, this Mustang is being built specifically for NPK competition in 2025. Pro Mod Camaro : One of Justin’s earlier cars, this nitrous-powered beast helped him establish his reputation in the Pro Mod world. Add Karma  to this lineup, and it’s clear that Justin is building an impressive fleet of race cars, each with a specific purpose in mind. Partners and Growth Much of Justin’s success can be attributed to his relentless hard work and smart partnerships. His main partner, Todd Fon, plays a huge role in his racing program and will continue to do so next year. Todd’s Lexus will also be competing in NPK events, adding yet another car to the growing Swanstrom racing empire. It’s amazing to think about how far Justin has come in just a few short years. When he first started out in the Street Outlaws  world, he had a single Camaro on big tires and a Pro Mod Camaro with a nitrous motor. Now, he runs a massive operation, racing at some of the most prestigious events and winning big. This growth is a testament to his ability not only as a driver but as a businessman who understands how to build a brand. His social media presence has exploded, allowing him to connect with fans, promote his partners, and grow his platform. What’s Next? With Karma  on the way and a stacked lineup of cars ready to go for 2025, the future looks incredibly bright for Justin Swanstrom. His brand is bigger than ever, and he continues to push the limits both on and off the track. Fans of Street Outlaws  and the Pro Mod scene should be excited to see what Justin has in store, as it’s clear he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Welcome to StreetOutlawsTalks.com , your number one source for all things Street Outlaws, No Prep Kings, and the hottest drag racing news! Today, we’re diving deep into something rare but incredibly exciting – the quickest public run of a No Prep Kings (NPK) car . Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography As many of you already know, it’s a rare sight to see NPK cars posting official times. After all, these cars usually run in “no-time”  classes, where keeping the numbers under wraps is part of the game. However, every now and then, some racers aren't afraid to show the world what these beasts are capable of. Recently, we witnessed one of these rare moments, and it was nothing short of amazing. Cold Pest and the 1967 Mustang In a recent race with a jaw-dropping $150,000  on the line, Cold Pest put up some seriously impressive numbers. He was behind the wheel of Cody Sanders' 1967 Mustang , a brand-new NPK car outfitted with a PJ’s 49 Hemi . Even under some of the most challenging conditions, this car proved to be a real contender. We’re talking 3,300 feet of density altitude , 77% humidity , and temperatures hovering around 78°F . To top it off, the water grains were at a whopping 118 , which saps a lot of power from the engine. But despite the tough air, Cold Pest still managed to lay down a stunning run. Here’s a breakdown of the numbers from that incredible pass: 60-foot time:  0.932 seconds 330-foot time:  2.48 seconds 1/8 mile time:  3.69 seconds at 202 mph Comparing to Kye Kelley If this sounds familiar, it’s because Kye Kelley  also made waves about a month and a half ago with a similarly impressive run. Racing in the ProBoost class of PDRA , Kelley clocked a 3.69 at 204 mph . Kelley’s car was under slightly different conditions— 3,400 feet of air , 55% humidity , and an 85°F temperature—but these two performances were undeniably close. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Kye Kelley’s breakdown looked like this: 60-foot time:  0.938 seconds 330-foot time:  2.49 seconds 1/8 mile time:  3.69 seconds at 204 mph Both cars put down some blistering times, but in terms of ET, Cold Pest’s run was just a tick quicker . While Kelley managed a higher top speed, Cold Pest came out on top with the quickest public ET we've seen from an NPK car. Could We See Even Faster? The numbers don’t lie – these NPK cars are moving fast, and there’s more to come. Jim Halsey  has publicly claimed to have run a 3.67 , and while we haven’t seen that in an official setting, we have no reason to doubt it. His car has consistently shown incredible speed, and we’ve seen similar numbers from other NPK cars in the past. What does this mean for the future of No Prep Kings racing ? Well, if more racers start entering events where the times are posted, we could see more record-breaking runs. And with the level of competition rising every season, it’s likely just a matter of time before someone sets a new benchmark. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Wrapping It Up At StreetOutlawsTalks.com , we’re all about celebrating the talent, the cars, and the wild rides that come from the world of No Prep Kings. Cold Pest’s run in that 1967 Mustang was one for the books, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. Will we see even quicker ETs in the near future? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the world of NPK racing  continues to push the limits of what’s possible on the drag strip.

Hello, fellow Street Outlaws fans! It’s time to dive into the latest buzz surrounding the No Prep Kings series and the heated controversy that’s been brewing after the Outlaw Armageddon event. For those keeping up with the racing scene, you know things have gotten pretty intense after some recent rule violations came to light. Today, we’re breaking it all down and giving you the scoop on what’s happening with the racers, the NPK rules, and what this could mean for the upcoming event in Tulsa. Photo by Street Outlaws Live First off, what exactly is going on? Well, it all stems from a rule in the No Prep Kings rulebook, and it’s causing quite a stir. The rule states that racers and their vehicles are not allowed to make any kind of appearance—whether it’s testing, exhibition runs, or even showing up—at any track within 200 miles of an NPK event during the two weeks leading up to the race. Simple enough, right? Well, not exactly. Here’s where things get tricky. The recent Outlaw Armageddon event took place just this past weekend, and next weekend’s No Prep Kings event is happening in Tulsa, which is only 138 miles away from Thunder Valley, where Armageddon went down. According to the rule, that’s a violation. Several NPK racers participated in the Outlaw Armageddon races on Friday and Saturday, which technically puts them in violation of this 200-mile rule. So, why does this matter? Because racers have been disqualified for similar infractions earlier in the season. And now, the big question is: will the racers from this past weekend face the same consequences? Now, let’s take a step back and look at why this rule exists in the first place. The intent is to keep the playing field level. If racers were allowed to test or make appearances near the event track before race day, it could give them an unfair advantage. However, here’s where it gets controversial. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Some of these racers have been running in Outlaw Armageddon for years—long before this rule became such a hot topic. They’ve been showing up year after year and running at this event without any issues. So, is it really fair to penalize them now, especially when they were allowed to race at Armageddon without any immediate consequences? That’s where things get murky. Many believe the rule needs to be revised or clarified, especially when you consider that racers were allowed to participate in Outlaw Armageddon this year. What’s even more confusing is that the rule doesn’t specify whether you must be racing your NPK car or if the penalty applies just for showing up. In fact, racers have been disqualified even when running a different car, which leaves a lot of fans scratching their heads. At this point, there’s no official word on whether these racers will face disqualification or not. Given the history of their participation in Outlaw Armageddon and the fact that they were allowed to run, it’s hard to imagine that NPK officials would take such drastic measures. Still, it’s possible the rule will get some much-needed clarification to prevent further confusion moving forward. What’s clear, though, is that this rule has been applied inconsistently, and that’s part of the frustration for both racers and fans. Some racers were disqualified earlier in the season, while others were allowed to race without a hitch, even though the situations seem similar. Many fans and racers are calling for a fairer application of the rules or a more precise explanation of what constitutes a violation. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  In the end, we’ll have to wait and see what happens as the dust settles. Will the NPK officials modify the rule to make it clearer? Or will the racers who participated in Outlaw Armageddon face penalties at Tulsa’s No Prep Kings event? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—this controversy has sparked some serious discussion in the racing community. At Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll be following this story closely and keeping you updated on the latest developments. Whether the rules stay the same, change, or lead to disqualifications, we’ll have all the details right here. What do you think? Should the racers be penalized for participating in Outlaw Armageddon, or should NPK officials modify the rule to reflect the long-standing tradition of these racers being involved in both events?

Hey Street Outlaws fans, we’ve got some huge news for you! Get ready to mark your calendars because this December, street racing is making a comeback in a way we haven't seen in years. Jeff Lutz himself confirmed it, and we at Street Outlaws Talks are here to bring you all the juicy details. So, let’s dive right in! Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography The Return We’ve Been Waiting For After months of speculation and rumors flying around, it’s official: Street Outlaws is returning to its roots with a new season of street racing, set to begin filming in December 2024. And let me tell you, this isn’t just another rumor. Jeff Lutz confirmed the news during an interview on the Street Outlaws Live channel, and fans are buzzing with excitement. What to Expect in December 2024 So, what’s the scoop? First off, it looks like the Street Outlaws crew is switching things up by going with small tire racing instead of the big tire monsters we’ve come to know and love. But don’t let that fool you—small tire racing has its own brand of intensity, and there are some good reasons for this change. Why small tires, you ask? Well, it all comes down to safety. As cars have gotten faster and more powerful, the risks have skyrocketed, especially with big tires on the street. Remember those stories of racers hitting insane speeds back in 2021 and 2022? We’re talking NPK-level speeds that push the boundaries of what's safe on public roads. Unfortunately, there have been some tragic accidents, and it’s clear that safety has to come first. The Thrill of Small Tire Racing Now, we know some of you might be thinking, “Small tires? Isn’t that less exciting?” But here’s the thing: small tire racing is where the competition gets really fierce. The playing field is more level, which means you get tighter races, more head-to-head battles, and fewer instances where one car just blows away the competition. It's pure racing excitement. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography If you remember Mega Cash Days back in December 2022, that was on small tires too, and it was an absolute blast. Sure, it might not have had the raw spectacle of the big tire events, but the action was non-stop, and every race was a nail-biter. Plus, with small tires, it’s less about raw power and more about skill and strategy, which makes for some truly thrilling races. Looking Back and Moving Forward Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Who can forget the excitement of America’s List, with its intense street racing and racers pushing their limits? That show kept us on the edge of our seats every single episode. If we get another season like that combined with this small tire street racing comeback, 2024 is going to be one epic year for Street Outlaws fans. Get Ready for an Epic Showdown December 2024 is shaping up to be a game-changer for the Street Outlaws community. While we might not see those massive big tire beasts tearing up the streets this time around, what we will see is some of the most intense, competitive, and exciting street racing action in years. This is going to be a showdown like no other, and we can’t wait to see who comes out on top. What Do You Think? Are you as pumped as we are to see the small tire racers take to the streets? Do you think this new format will bring back the intensity of those legendary big tire races? We want to hear from you!
