What we are fixing to do is take you back, WAAAAAY BAAACK!!!...Most of you don't know that Texasdragracing.com is the oldest drag racing site in the Rio Grande Valley. Like some sites in other cities, TDR began as a street racers site. But we weren't poser want to be "fast" street cars. No, our street cars kicked ass. So much so that we decided it was going to be safer to just take it to the track. Here is a small glimpse back to where our racers started going out to Edinburg International Racetrack to take care of business. Hope you all enjoy this and it brings back some memories for our guy's....

First up, is the man who started all of the Turbo craze in the Rio Grande Valley. Joel Cura hasn't been very active in 2008, but he is the man that thought the nitrous guy's to step it up if they wanted to keep up. This car, is Joel's second Turbo Car. Unfortunately, the car was wrecked some time later in Houston, Texas. That crash spawned off Seabiscuit. Joel will be back soon, but first, a glimpse of where it began.....





Next up, is another big dog. Rigo Trevino. If you street raced back in the late 90's, early 2000's, then you remember this monster. Rigo used to street race the hell out of this car. His old Yellow Dog Camaro was famous for whooping up on the local kids. Unfortunately, like Joel's car, Rigo's Yellow Dog ran across tradegy when it caught on fire at the end of the track after a hot pass. Check this fast pass. Back in the day when we street racers asked the track not to show our times.





Next up, is a video of a much talked about Match Race between a local supercharger car and a Corpus area supercharger car. Ralph Olivarez was the man who brought Pro Charger, Vortech and many other supercharged cars to the Rio Grande Valley. Working out his AF1M Shop in Mission, Texas, Ralph put this awesome Red Coupe together. Like the cars before, Ralph's red coupe was a street car. And Ralph would drive it anywhere in the Rio Grande Valley for a race, if the cash was right. Let's see if you old schooler's know what became of the Grey Coupe in this video...


>


Up next is a video of my good friend and avid Texasdragracing.com fan, FRANKIE G!!!...Before Franky was a DJ, he was a street racer. And his weapon of choice back then was this juiced Chevrolet El Camino. Don't know what ever happened to the Elky, maybe Frankie can come in here and give us an update...





Here is another classic. How about the original "ICEMAN" out Donna, Texas. Though he has moved on to Harley Davidson's, Alex is still a Texasdragracing.com fan and I have seen him in the stands at the track during our big match races. Maybe one day Alex will come back and join us for some fun. Back in the day, Alex's Camaro was definitely a force to be reckoned with.





And finally, your's truly. This video brought back a lot of memories. Some of you all might remember my old yellow Nova, which later became known as "The Pepino" because of it's dark green color. Back then, this was my ONLY car. This car carried my three boy's around and my wife often drove it to the grocery store. Packing a 406 cube "O'Reilly Auto Parts" built small block, a TH700R4 overdrive transmission and a secret shot of juice, it was definitley one of the fastest "true" street cars back in the day.

A little background on this race. Back then, I was just a Texasdragracing.com fan and I used to post on here about my car. Well, I some how pissed off a guy in Corpus and he decided he was going to bring his "street car" down here and kick my ass. So a date was agreed upon and the race was set at Edinburg International Racetrack. Well, take a look at what he showed up with...LOL!..It was supposed to be a "street car -vs- street car" race. Well, I had already opened my big mouth, so we had to race. Now, before the race, I made it clear to the guy that my Nova did not have a roll cage. And back then, if you ran an 11.99 without a cage, you were out!..The track would ban you and you were gone. So I told him, I will run you to the 1/8 mile only. Since that is what the track told me I could do....Well, check out the video. I beat him to the 1/8 and let off. He kept going to the 1/4 and claimed the win....LOL!...Oh well, them's the break's....





I hope you guy's really enjoyed this blast from the past. And I want to thank Gene Lujan for providing the Analog Hi8 Camera. And I especially want to thank my friend Abel Puentes for recording the memories. We have some more video's to thru and we will post them as we are finding them. Again, I hope you all have enjoyed this and thank you for your support all of these years of Texasdragracing.com...."THE FASTEST AND OLDEST HEADSUP WEBSITE IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY"

• ................Thanks Marco, that just brought a tear to my eye, that was the night the 86 beacame the first STREET CAR in the 9's That was in early 1999 I eventually went 9.20's at the WORLD FORD CHALLENGE later that year. That was the same 331 that all the BIG BLOCK CHEVY BOYS learned to HATE it was huffing a 76mm. That motor is now in my new 86 stang "BLACKBETTY" with twin 67mm, vortech igloo, a/c it will be fully equiped like my old 86 looking for mid 9's on 93 octane. The SEABISCUIT is getting closer to done, it is now powered by a VERY STREEATABLE ------373----- with twin GT42-76mm turbos, The true10 turbo guys have set the bar with 8.20 on our track, it is a CRAZY addiction.......... ............... -- ............JOELCURA....................., 00:09:03 09/08/08 Mon

I was talking to Ruben Salinas, the other day. And he wants to know what is going on? Did "Sylvester" scare all of the Big Dogs away? What happened to the Bird? What happened to Spike? What, no one in the Valley can come play with Sylvester? Ruben doesn't want to wait until the next Ultimate Outlaw Race, scheduled for December 13th 2008. C'mon on out, don't be scaaaared!!!.....Ruben promises to have Sylvester rolling on 33x10.5 W's, while everyone else is rolling on steam rollers. As for weight, he's at 3000lbs. With all that, no one should be afraid to come out and play!!!....




Speaking of the Ultimate Outlaw Race, we are already working on the program. The major sponsors don't want to do this with the Bracket Racers. They want me to talk to the track to see if we can do it before. Money wise, we are looking at a purse of about $8,000.00 for two races. One is the Ultimate Outlaw Race and the other will be a True 10.5 Race. Both classes will have weight rules in place to make things tighter. Stay tuned for more info as we gather information and get things rolling...Texasdragracing.com, Home Of The Fastest Outlaw's In South Texas!!!....

Cool, the video's went up faster than I expected. Before anything, I want to ask if anyone has a HI-8 NON-DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA we can borrow. My buddy Abel, has some awesome footage from way back when. We are talking video from before Texasdragracing.com. He has video from one of our very first street car race at the track. Back when all the street racers decided to have a legal race. Only thing is, his camera broke. So we can't get the video out of the tapes. If anyone has a camera we can borrow for a few day's, give me a call. We will come get it from you. Thanks!...

Ok, back to the match race video's. This first video is of the 3-Way match race between Rigo Trevino Jr., the HG Stang and Rudy's Tex-Red Camaro. Since Rudy was the spot holder, Rigo Jr., and HG Performance went at it first. Rigo Jr., won that race and went on to the finals against Rudy. Check out the video below....


**CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO**



This next race was supposed to be a 3-way race. But the Spot Holder, Mike Ocanas was a now show. That really sucks. But oh well, we went ahead and got the 1320 Performance Vette and Juan's Destroyer Trans-Am lined up. Check out the video below...


**CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO**



And our final match race video is of the battle for the #2 Spot between Charlie Deleon's Rusty Stang and Tommy Hearn's Ghost II Chevy-Stang. This race will definitley go in the record books as one of the best match races we have ever had. Check out the video and you will see what I mean.


**CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO**



These are just some of the video's from Friday night. We have some more coming tomorrow. As well as the world famous, Track Action video. You won't want to miss that one. So make sure you stay tuned to this channel, for the best Drag Racing Action in South Texas, Texasdragracing.com...

  • Typical hater with no car and no name. I installed the nitrous system on the Ultra Z about 9 years ago. It's nothing more than a simple wet nozzle with some Powershot NOS solenoids. So no, that kit will not go to 200. The most we sprayed it 9 years ago was 150 shot and it went 11.30's @ 128 mph.

• It was a 5 35 at 140 mph not a 8 35 -- The Phenom, 20:05:28 08/31/08 Sun
• damn, danny and ralphy, congrats on a new personal best on the 1/8 mile, pick up alot compared to eirt, did you make a 1/4 mile pass? who won the event/class you all were in? any other racers from the valley that participated? -- pretty good in my book!, 20:27:58 08/31/08 Sun
• Actually dude, a 5.35 is a 8.39 1/4 mile pass. The Phenom has been that fast at Edinburg International Racetrack. So no, San Antonio Raceway isn' any better. From the Valley, Tommy Hernandez made it to the runner up spot in Cheap Street. In the final, Tommy ran a 5.57 @ 127 to the winners 5.58 @ 128. The deciding factor was the other guy's .000 reaction. Dammit!...Good Job Hernandez Racing. -- Mod, 22:21:20 08/31/08 Sun
• The phenom has been running a 5 50 or so at the 1/8 mile @135 & 8 35 in the quater mile, so we think 5 35 @ 140 is going to be 7 sec pass. Ron Martin was also up at the Clash and represented the valley very well by getting to the finals. He was running a 5 35 all night long. -- The Phenom, 23:12:05 08/31/08 Sun
  • ---------MARTINS ----------SILVER FOX------------- WENT TO THE FINALS, ANGEL PADILLA FROM------ AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALTIES------- WAS ASSIGNED TO THE LOUD PEDAL------BEST PASS WAS 5.33@141 SLOWEST PASS WAS @ 5.36@139,-----------------THE FINALS WAS A 5.28 TO ANGELS 5.34 THE BIG BLOCK WAS LUCKY THAT THEY MADE ALL HEADS UP CLASSES STOP AT THE 1/8, ON WED THE SILVER FOX RAN A 8.02@182 IN BAD TRACK CONDITIONS WITH A TRUE 91MM AND 3,280LB, FREDDY GAVE THE US THE BAD NEWS BEFORE FIRST ROUND QUALIF THAT THE CLASS WOULD BE SHUT DOWN AT THE 1/8,-------- THE PHENOM MADE A FAST HIT, GOOD LUCK ON THE SEARCH FOR THE FIRST 7 SECOND RUN ON TRUE 10.5.....................TOMMY & FAUSTINO MADE ALOT OF NEW FRIENDS IN CHEAP STREET, GREAT JOB GUYS............. -- ............JOELCURA....................., 23:57:31 08/31/08 Sun
• Phenom Crew, wish you all the best on your quest for 7's. When you all do it, we already have your 7 Second Club sticker ready. -- Mod, 23:36:36 08/31/08 Sun
• Thanks alot guys -- Tommy Hernandez, 01:38:03 09/01/08 Mon
• ya mod, but like the phenom said, ihad also seen them running 5.50s at 135 and would come out at the high 8.30s at around 160-5, so in this situation, u cant go by the calculators, because the more down the track, the more boost and therefore faster e.ts. -- conats to everybody that went out and represented the valley!!, 02:44:55 09/01/08 Mon

• Norman, in your post, you state the car has never been wrecked, but you also say it has a salvage title? Was the car in a flood? Also, does it still have the 8.5" read-end? And, what would you take if you keep all of the GN turbo stuff & wheels? I would be interested in just the basic body. Not interested in any of the turbo stuff. -- Mod, 13:13:23 08/29/08 Fri

Got some awesome races scheduled for Friday night. Looks like the weather has been allowing us to race, so we are getting these done!!!....First up, we have a 3 way match up for the #10 Spot. This spot has been hot lately. Got a bunch of modern muscle coming out to play. First up, up have the Homegrown Performance Stang going head to head with Rigo Jr. Winner goes on to race Rudy's Tex-Red Camaro.



Next up, we have another modern muscle challenge for the #8 Spot. Back from out of no where is Jaun's Destroyer Ram-Air. He will be going head to head with Ceasar's 1320 Performance Corvette. The winner get's the right to come after Mike's Terminator Cobra for the win!!!...



And finally, the Main Event!..The Ghost II has decided that going for the #1 Spot is a bit of a stretch. So they will be going after the #2 Spot, now held by Charlie Deleon's Rusty Stang!!!...This is one race you will not want to miss. It will be a Ford -vs- Chevy Battle!!!...BE THERE!!!....Edinburg International Racetrack, Gates Open at 7:00PM!!!!..First round of Match Races go off at 9:00PM SHARP!!!....

• looks like 2 fords to me -- blue oval racer, 21:45:42 08/28/08 Thu
  • two ford bodys ghost II powered by a chevy -- TRD FAN1, 23:29:31 08/28/08 Thu
• Yup, the Ghost II is running a small block Chevy. And I believe it's smaller cubes than what Charlie is running. This is truly going to be an awesome race. The two fastest nitrous assisted small block's going head to head. You all won't want to miss this. Word is, Charlie has something up his sleeve for the Ghost. I think he has been talking to Henry and they have added an "Oh Shit" button to Rusty...LOL!!....Race goes off at 10:00PM!!!....BE THERE!!! -- Mod, 08:24:58 08/29/08 Fri
• Is the "Undertaker" defending (and keeping --of coarse) his spot today??? -- BBC1, 09:52:07 08/29/08 Fri
• He was supposed to run The Phenom tonight. But The Phenom will be running at The Clash of The Titans tonight and tomorrow. So the race has been postponed for now. -- Mod, 10:00:17 08/29/08 Fri
• Then why did Phenom even challenge the undertaker if he isn't ready? And what is that "traditional" two weeks to get ready? I rarely see undertaker take two weeks. -- Just the plain truth., 10:53:21 08/29/08 Fri
• Hey Mod, would you happen to know who from the valley will be in san antonio for the clash? -- Thinking bout heading out there! TROUBLE MAKER.... KING PERFORMANCE........, 11:13:38 08/29/08 Fri
• Since Henry is ready to race and will have The Undertaker at the track tonight, The Phenom will have to re-challenge. Guy's, remember, if you post a challenge, BE READY TO RACE! If you are not, then your challenge is not valid. It's the Spot holder who get's two weeks, not the challenger. Joe (Troublemaker) I think the Hernandez Bro's were going. -- Mod, 11:35:55 08/29/08 Fri
• damn mark, get off of henry's balls for once, oh and it was YOU that posted that the race was going to take place on the 5th of september!!!! -- JUST STATING THE FACTS!!!, 19:02:28 08/29/08 Fri
• Go back and read what I posted in the "8/22/08 MATCH RACE WINNERS" thread. I posted the challenge for The Undertaker -vs- The Phenom. I said, "we are "LOOKING" at the 5th. But we would see what comes up between now and then. I am not giving anyone preference, just stating what the rules are. The spot holder, who ever it may be calls the shots. They have earned that right. In this case, Henry was ready for tonight, The Phenom wasn't. The Re-Challenge is for today. Henry can race anytime between now and September 12th. I already explained this to Ralph "The Hired Gun". So we don't need any nutswingers coming on here and mucking things up. Mr. "Just Stating The Facts" who obviously has no reading comprehension!!! -- Mod, 01:52:20 08/30/08 Sat

• Hey Tony "Bullet" i like the way ur car looks with the new wheels, what brand are they bro, if u dont mind sharing some info? -- 67 Rally Camaro, 17:49:51 08/26/08 Tue
• Sure I'd be glad to answer that question... I know there's alot of people out there who are a bit secretive on what they have but I don't mind... They are 15x3.5 Bogart D10 Fronts and matching 15x10 rears, and both were a pain to fit! Tires are 26x4.5-15 MT ET Fronts and 28x10.5-15 MT ET Drags. -- Bullett, 21:18:37 08/26/08 Tue
  • Thanks alot Bullet for the info, your car looks great. -- 67 Rally Camaro, 09:20:03 08/27/08 Wed
  • pain to fit? i thought bogarts were the only racing wheels you can just bolt on without modifications? i mean, considering what they cost... -- Havok 2 -GHR-, 14:30:41 08/27/08 Wed
    • No problem 67................. Yeah a pain to fit... apparantly Ford built all the early S197 Mustangs with different front rotors, so me and my friend Val had to grind the crap outta the front rotors, then with the rear I had to saw off the factory sway bar mount and relocate it... I got rid of the bar all together and replaced it with a BMR Anti Rollbar...wait its not over! Then since I have coil overs in the rear they were hitting the wheel! So now i have to run spacers on my rears... Yea I know for the price they damn well better fit but oh well... theyre on now so thats all that matters : ) -- Bullett, 15:44:32 08/27/08 Wed
• Are those DOT's on Rigo's car? -- undertaker598, 07:49:20 08/27/08 Wed
• hmmm...no, I don't think so. He might be running into the same problem Salinas ran into with the "W" tires. I measured them before racing and they were fine, under 11 inches easily. After a few passes, they were almost at 12". Rigo is running the same exact tire. So it looks like we might do some tire measuring again. Thank's for noticing that Henry. I will look into it. -- Mod, 08:43:10 08/27/08 Wed
  • well in that picture there was still alot of day light he had not made that many passes and it looks like that was before racing stated . TIRES NEED TO BE CHECKED TO BE FAIR WITH EVERYONE (NT) -- LOOK AT THE PICTURE, 18:57:23 08/27/08 Wed
• those tires are freakin huge !!!
