Believe it or not, Daddy Dave of Street Outlaws has a couple of days off for himself every now and then. With such a hectic schedule that takes Dave touring all over the country, racing in several different formats and on different television shows, and almost seems like he’s always on the move, either working on his car or racing it. This time, though, the Street Outlaws fan favorite has a little bit of time to himself. As Dave fills us in, though, we learn that even when he has time off, he just can’t sit still. Dave says that this is when he gets bored and starts to spend money. Therefore, he has decided instead, to spend his time out in the garage making himself a little bit of money. That’s quite a work ethic, for somebody who already works harder than most people, to go and work even more when he has a couple of days off. On these days off, Dave brought the camera along for the ride so that fans could see what exactly he was up to. First, he showed us a new race car that a buddy dropped off and Dave is working on. However, that’s not the subject of this video. Instead, the star of the show this time is a short-bed Chevy that is driven by a 16-year-old girl that races the truck in a high school class. As she has outgrown the setup that the truck currently boasts, Dave is going to be working on a new motor and adding a ProCharger to it. Photo by Daddy Dave Racing Even though Dave tells us that he has done a variety of ProCharger setups, even some of the biggest names in the game make a mistake now and then. In this particular case, they’ve missed one crucial part of the instructions as it pertains to the water pump which had him spending a little bit of time searching online for some new parts.

Whenever we hear Big Chief and JJ Da Boss in the same sentence it is always about how one was racing the other and all we can think about is getting to the bottom of the page to find out who won on that occasion. These guys are OG street racers and over the years they have met numerous times battling it out on the street to find out which one should be the boss when it comes to conquering the streets. It appears however that times have changed dramatically and these guys are putting their rivalries on hold once again for the sole purpose of street racing.

Photo by Discovery UK The steering wheel in question however belongs to their rivals the Memphis squad who have kindly offered the legendary Ziptie to Jackie in order to race in this event.

Street Outlaws fan favorite, Daddy Dave, really has a lot going on in his life. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that keeping up with his schedule would be nearly impossible for the vast majority of people out there. While racing in a variety of promotions and filming a television show at the same time, Dave has still found some time to keep a couple of projects going in the background as well. In the “OG” Street Outlaws show, we have watched the competition go from big tire race cars back to a simpler small tire format. While plenty of competitors have brought new builds to the streets for the filming of the refreshed format, Dave has resorted to old reliable, his twin-turbo Chevrolet S10 which has been around for years. However, he has been cooking up a little something in the background as well. Dave tells us that he has owned a variety of Chevrolet Monte Carlos and therefore, elected to go with another one to race on the OG Street Outlaws show as well. It’s just not something that he could snap his fingers and have done, though, due to the aforementioned busy schedule. Up until now, we’ve only seen dribs and drabs of what the car is going to be. In this particular video, though, Dave gives us the full walk around of the car, explaining all of the details that fans have been dying to know about. The car isn’t exactly 100% just yet but it does appear as if it’s pretty close as Dave goes over some of the final details before getting this thing ready to race. Below, we check in with the latest that this old-school Chevrolet has to offer and get a little bit of a taste of what we might be seeing in the streets pretty soon. Video by Daddy Dave Racing

Since the Arm Drop Drags introduced by JJ Da Boss on the last season's finale of Street Outlaws in Oklahoma, there has been an ongoing discussion about which format is superior: Flashlight start or Armdrop. Photo by Street Outlaws While it is unlikely that everyone will agree on one or the other, it is intriguing to determine where everyone stands on the issue. Before delving into the responses from the individuals of the 405, let's examine the distinctions between the two possibilities. As Daddy Dave pointed out, the flashlight functions similarly to an "instant green" start at the drag strip. There is no ambiguity, and there is no questioning whether or not there was a jump or a fair start. If the vehicle moves before the light turns on, it is considered a jump and a loss. If the light turns on before the cars move, it is a fair start. The armdrop alters all of this by incorporating the "chase is a race" clause, which means that even if one car leaves before the starter's arm drops, whoever reaches the finish line first is declared the winner. This opens up the possibility for a lot of gamesmanship, particularly for slower cars that may be unable to outrun their opponent in a head-to-head race. If you can time the drop so that you leave just before the starter drops their arms and your opponent follows suit, you have a significant advantage. As you might expect, the individuals from the 405 favor the flashlight start since it is what they have always utilized to begin their races. Only Big Chief, who has never been ashamed to admit he can compete with the best of them, claims to be proficient in both, and thus far, that assertion has been relatively accurate. What do you think about this debate? Which format is more equitable? More importantly, which format is more engaging? We are pretty certain what the answer is, but we enjoy hearing from you, so let us know your thoughts! Video by Street Outlaws

The viewership numbers for the small tire Street Outlaws Oklahoma show have been steadily declining. While some may view this as a reason for concern and a sign of a drop in popularity, we believe that people are simply watching less TV and instead paying attention to the Street Outlaws through various other media. Photo by Street Outlaws Nowadays, almost all of the show's clips and videos can be found on different streaming services, and the same goes for Street Outlaws Oklahoma. Because of this, we believe that while people may not be watching the show on TV, they have found other ways and places to watch it. In our humble opinion, the show made a smart move by focusing on small tires and getting closer to many street racers who race on smaller tires, unlike the very few who can afford cars with such huge amounts of power and tires for street racing. Photo by Street Outlaws This means that the show's popularity will likely continue to grow instead of declining, with more and more street racers tuning in to every episode on various streaming platforms. The fact that almost all of the drivers have their own successful YouTube channels supports our theory about why TV viewership is declining, even though the show remains popular. However, the main topic of Sim's video is something else entirely. He is trying to explain something that may not make sense to many viewers: the producers have decided to split episodes. This is where we stand at the moment, so let's hear what Sim has to say about it. Video by Sim ABCXYZ

Richard Rawlings is a well-known name in the automotive industry, thanks to his popular TV show Fast N’ Loud. He is also the founder of Gas Monkey Garage, a custom car shop that has produced some of the most impressive and sought-after cars in the industry. After a great day visiting Brad Keselowski at a NASCAR track on a race day, Richard Rawlings feels the loss of $70K as his Ford GT doesn’t sell as much as he expected to at an auction. Rawlings had owned the 2005 Ford GT for over a decade and had put just 2,800 miles on the odometer. He decided to sell the car at the Mecum Auctions event in Indianapolis in May 2021, hoping to make a tidy profit on the sale. The car had been customized with Gas Monkey Garage touches, including a custom paint job and new wheels. Photo by DMAX UK However, things did not go as planned. Despite being one of the most highly anticipated lots at the auction, Rawlings' Ford GT failed to meet its reserve price, which was set at $300,000. The highest bid for the car was $225,000, meaning that Rawlings lost over $70,000 on the sale. Rawlings was understandably disappointed with the outcome, but he remained optimistic about the future. In a statement to the media, he said that he was proud of the car and that he was happy to have been a part of its history. He also hinted that he might try to sell the car again in the future, perhaps at a different auction or through a private sale. Photo by DMAX UK The loss on the Ford GT sale is a reminder that the classic car market can be unpredictable and volatile. Despite its popularity and high demand, even the most desirable cars can fail to meet their reserve prices at auction, leaving sellers in a tough spot. Rawlings is not the first person to experience this, and he certainly won't be the last. However, the sale of Rawlings' Ford GT is also a testament to the passion and dedication that he and other car enthusiasts have for their vehicles. To them, cars are more than just machines - they are works of art, expressions of creativity, and symbols of freedom and adventure. Even if they don't always get the price they want, these enthusiasts will continue to pour their hearts and souls into their cars, striving to create something truly special. Video DMAX UK
