Where do they get these cash totals?
Were the 2 drivers racing for $55K ($27500 each?) or was this the supposed grad total of all bets that were placed across this race, including the million spectators?

I seriously think it was 55000 $1 bets based on what I see there.

Buddy from the shop that built the Jeep just text me about this race, tells me his customer lost a $70K race. C'mon man. Are we sure they weren't racing for a winning powerball ticket? Maybe winner gets the cure for Covid?

Well, theres your answer, its OVER $55k. Either way those boosted built F150s by that Manual Gomez guy is nuts. Midnight performance is the shop that has several 7-sec coyotes now. I think some of them are stock internal motor too.

@Diablo Mike do you watch #ydbt's talking shit on youtube? Or is he a little too much of a mustang guy? I currently dont have a mustang, but enjoy his videos.

I can do some ydbt but haven't followed him 100%. Might look more now that I'm driving a Mustang.

I just still don't buy that there was $55K or $70K in a single pot going to a single person, but whatever, it makes for lots of clicks :)

Owner posted another camera view in a private FB group. Supposedly it was a $27k bet from each of the drivers and then another $5k in side bets.

Why anyone would bet that on a single race is beyond me.

But it’s a fast ass truck.

@Serpent I have a cousin in Cali(LA/Oxanard area) looking for a reasonable shop to change the fluids in her car. Any recommendations?

@T76 Mach Doesnt Midnight Performance run that sick C6? I see that car all the time on Street Car Video's youtube channel.

That shop knows how to build speed. Apparently terrible customer service lmao, but they can build fast shit.

I dont get all the hype behind Midnight Performance. Are they anything more than parts installers? The shop doesn’t tune. Do they build engines? Do their own machine work? Fabrication?

They seem to be the go to, for the 10r80 trans rebuilds. They do have some really fast Ford and GM stuff come out of that shop.

That F150 is a beast. The loser gulped hard on that race, knowing how much he lost. That's crazy money for one race. Do or die!
