March of last year we purchased this old Buick T-Type that had been in storage for over 17 years. The car was owned by Gene Lujan, owner of Speed Center, in Pharr, Texas. Unless someone thinks otherwise and has proof, this car at the time (early 90's) was the Fastest Street Car in South Texas. Gene, has always been a very low key and private person so not much fan fare was made about the car. When a race came up, Gene would show up take care of business, drive the car home and put it away. The car never went to car shows, cruise in's or even the race track. It was after all, a street car. So the question has been, just how fast was this car? Remember, this is back in the early 90's. Back before the famous LS1 engine was bolted in to everything GM produced. And gave everyone the ability to go fast with simple bolt-ons. And way before the new 5.0 (Coyote) engine was released by Ford which gave all Ford dudes the ability to run 8's right off the show room floor...

Since unearthing the Mammoth, as Gene put it, we have been on a quest to answer the question, "How fast was it?" So this last Saturday we took the opportunity and gave it our best shot to answer that question. The car was basically in the same conditions as when it was pulled out of storage. Same engine, same carburetor, same ignition, same exhaust (2.5" pipes with Flowmasters) and same wheel combination. Only changes we made prior were the installation of a Joel Alvarado built TH700R4, which performed flawlessly, and a Hughes GM30 Stall Converter. We also replaced the weak 10 bolt with a Moser 12 Bolt differential with 3.55 gears. These parts replaced a TH350 with a 3500 Stall Converter and the previously mentioned 10 bolt with 4.10 gears. So for all intents and purposes the changes we made actually slowed the car down. Almost forgot, we also ran the car on 275/60 M/T Drag Radials, which replaced the 28x10.5 M/T full race slicks Gene used to run on the street. On the suspension side, the car still has the same shocks front & back as it did back then. The power adder? An old Top Gun nitrous system which we confirmed was setup for 150 horsepower. Hope I am not giving any secrets away.

So what did the Buick run? Again, please remember that this was back in the early 90's. Way before TDR came around and started urging everyone to step up their game. The best motor pass we made on Saturday was a 12.22 @ 112mph blast with a 1.68 short time. Not bad for old school tech. Our first attempt spraying the car resulted in a bunny hop wheelie, some tire spin and an ET of 11.68 @ 119mph. After reviewing video we figured out that we were being too aggressive on the launch. The engine was making so much torque that it was actually lifting the drivers side tire at the hit. So on the nitrous it got really crazy and spun. On the second and last nitrous pass I decided to leave softer by basically rolling into the throttle. That run resulted in a 1.55 60ft on the way to an ET of 11.14 @ 121mph...wow! Mind you, this is with me driving the car. I easily outweigh Gene by almost 200lbs. Doing the math we figure the car was truly a 10 second street car way back in the early 90's. To help put that in perspective, my youngest Son just turned 20 yesterday. He was about 2 years old when this car was out roaming the streets, packing a 10 second punch for anyone that dared challenge it.

Future plans for the Buick are a much better exhaust system, some upgrades to the suspension to keep it from twisting and a few upgrades to the fuel system. We might even swap out the cast iron factory heads for a nice set of Brodix aluminum heads to squeeze as much power as we can out of the engine. With the vast improvements in head design we can easily make an extra 100hp with just a head swap. You can bet we will be back to Edinburg Raceway on the hunt for a 10 second ET on the record for the old Buick. For now head over to our Facebook page or our YouTube channel to watch a video compilation of the Buick's passes from this past Saturday. You can even watch what happened when the Buick went head to head with our very own 2002 LS1 Camaro known as The Sandman. I'm telling you, technology has come a long way. Stay tuned for more....

• says bob g. who hasn't post a challenge either lmaol -- Juan, 18:16:26 02/15/14 Sat
• so we can just challange? & the next week we race? i think tthe mod needs to eplain how the.whole challanging for spots and when the races will happen. maybe people are just confused and thats why they havent challanged -- rol, 20:54:38 02/15/14 Sat
• Pretty simple you request challenge show up on date and race maybe mod doesn't have to supply the date maybe the racers can agree on a date to race for spots -- Duh, 14:38:13 02/16/14 Sun
  • pretty much you nailed it. but then again there are no rules saying how long a spot holder has to defend. -- tdr fan, 18:15:10 02/16/14 Sun
• well undertaker already challanged and nothing has happend thats why i was asking -- rol, 17:10:50 02/16/14 Sun

• Henry already challenged. I think you have to race him then the winner moves up to challenge #10 and up. -- Bob g, 17:29:53 02/16/14 Sun

• a 13 sec car vs an 8 sec car wow what a race! but hey you gots to start at the bottom. -- watch the "gatekeeper" not even show up, 14:35:07 02/10/14 Mon
• Jesse is cool peeps - he will show up. I think the idea here is to have Henry challenge as far as he can go in one night...lol -- Mod, 16:12:52 02/10/14 Mon
  • Henry can reach up to #2 just by racing on motor alone. #2 is where it will get intersting for him. do all people holding spots have to show up that day though? if not, that is where the fun stops for the undertaker that night. -- Juan, 16:32:54 02/10/14 Mon
• so its going to be monthly again anybody holding a spot must be present to defend the spot and and anybody challenging starts from the bottom up and multiple challanges can occur by multiple racers until they cant climb up the ladder or get pushed off the ladder? am i understanding right -- rol, 14:21:14 02/11/14 Tue
  • it would be unfair to make it a monthly deal and force everyone to show up to race, imo. that's why the spots should be opened up and forget this ladder okc style set up. -- Juan, 09:20:11 02/13/14 Thu
    • That's how it was before Juan and nobody would race or challenge. I still say the mod has no right to tell people when they can race so I agree with you there. -- Bob g, 13:39:36 02/13/14 Thu
• Can ponche show up with a faster car. -- Pro stock avenger Paul 111, 09:14:39 02/12/14 Wed
• question -- javi, 21:45:34 02/13/14 Thu
  • assuming your car is faster than all 10 spots and that you either dont redlit break during the race, yes about a 10 month period. -- Juan, 08:57:16 02/14/14 Fri
    • maybe for a 2-3 month window ONLY the mod will allow faster cars challenge straight to the number 5 spot then work your way up the list from there. I think within the first couple of months people should be able to be where they should be assuming people challenge. Just something to look into. -- TDR fan, 13:18:24 02/14/14 Fri

• Oh yea ready to rumble! -- undertaker598, 08:55:09 02/08/14 Sat
• We will be open -- Bob_EdinburgRaceway, 10:38:39 02/08/14 Sat

• is it still on or what? -- fan of the tdr fan, 10:59:36 02/08/14 Sat
• Yes, we will be open this afternoon. If the fog lingers a little longer than the forecast is predicting, no problem. We may delay the start time for going down the track a little. As Mod stated, all of the weather guys are saying that the clouds are going to break and we will get some much needed sun this afternoon. If we need to run a little longer so everyone can get their racing fix that is what we will do. Hope to see everyone out here. -- Bob_EdinburgRaceway, 11:15:51 02/08/14 Sat
• Thanks for the update Bob - Both of our cars are ready to go. \m/ -- Mod, 11:51:30 02/08/14 Sat
• Que pedo, que paso? Who won or what? -- fan of the tdr fan, 10:56:54 02/09/14 Sun

• it doesn't work like that anymore. now you will need to start at #10 and work your way up the ladder. apparently that is the way it was always done since 1995 although I dont recall ever. get in line, get a dance partner and you will be paired up with someone for another spot until the mod decides to get this rolling. now if you just want to race el who hit you just to grudge race....go for it! -- tdr fan, 22:01:42 02/01/14 Sat
• Well bring it ON C'mon!! -- Garcia Bros, 22:13:50 02/01/14 Sat

• Just a friendly grudge match -- !!!! GOLD RUSH !!!! "HOT RODZ SHOP", 17:54:49 02/02/14 Sun
• Grudge races are always cool. But as it was already said, it's only a grudge race. No spots are on the line. Win or lose, El Who Hit you is El Jefe until someone works their way up the ladder and knocks him off. -- Mod, 18:12:08 02/02/14 Sun
  • Here we go again. Mod decides who races who. Why are going to race nine times to race for first spot if you know you run way faster than two or or more spots in between. Just watch certain people will have exceptions. -- Bob g, 22:09:42 02/02/14 Sun
• Ok for you that don't have any idea what the hell is going on, I will try to clear things up. A few weeks back "El who hit you" made a statement something like this, "El who hit you te deja sin berwenza" which means he would embarras El Patron Mailbu. So the El Patron Malibu took him up on it. -- This has NOTHING to do with the top ten list, nothing to do with Mod deciding who races who so get you're facts straight. Get a car or get a life, but do something besides whine., 22:55:36 02/02/14 Sun
• Im down for 1/8 mile grudge race on Saturday against Patron Malibu.. Just to clear things up I never said that.. I actually never even seen the Malibu or know who the Garcia Bros are ?? Im down to race.. anyways my rim/tires/Brakes should be here this week... If Goldrush wants to race im cool ,but you race el Patron Malibu first and I race the winner. -- Leo Mochates, 07:04:12 02/03/14 Mon

• I agree - balls out 1/4 mile or go home - Seriously though if both racers are in agreement then they can run 1/8 or 1/4. But both have to be in agreement. If they cannot decide then default race is 1/4 mile. Pro Tree we will have to work closely with track to make sure it doesn't get screwed up - Maybe we can write Pro on side windows with shoe polish so the tower can see it.

    • I'm not bob gonzo I'm bob Guerrero I only posted the first post about rule changes because like always mod starts by saying there will be no rules just run what you brung and now he wants to say who runs who and how many times it will take you to get to first spot after that some dumb ass started to use bob g and you start talking shit -- Bob g, 11:10:05 02/06/14 Thu
      • Last time it started as a 1/4 mile race then the fast guy's want 1/8 for safety reasons so why not start it 1/8 mile the track isn't that safe on topend since they only prep 1/8 mile.. -- TDR FAN, 17:10:30 02/06/14 Thu
• How about you only race to the 60ft that way no one breaks their cars and everyone stays safe. -- Bob g, 17:58:20 02/06/14 Thu

• So if #10 tries to get to #1, assuming he is capable, how many weeks or months will it take him to get there? How long does the spotholder have to defend his spot? If a challenger is 1 or 2 full seconds faster than several spots above is really necessary to make him race them? I know anything can happen in a race but at the track the variables are almost none, this is not the street where a slower car can beat a faster car due to not hooking in the street. -- clarify those rules, 19:55:58 02/02/14 Sun

• Eso chingon! Glad we can always count on you guy's. If you are racing for a spot on Saturday post up now! We will have my son's "Sandman" Camaro and our Grand National out there in case anyone in the Top 10 needs a race. -- Mod, 08:10:45 02/03/14 Mon
• @ Clarify Those Rules - Rules will be discussed on Saturday during the racers meeting. This way ideas and suggestions are given by actual racers and not key board warriors. -- Mod, 11:18:06 02/03/14 Mon
• Role call! Is anyone gonna show up this Saturday? -- undertaker598, 08:20:13 02/04/14 Tue
• This is what happens - everyone wants spots back but when we set a date nobody wants to step up. So far we have Leo, Henry and two TDR cars. Need more cars to fill up the spots this Saturday. -- Mod, 10:00:21 02/04/14 Tue

• All right, that's what we want to see. Remember guys, we will be drawing numbers - 10 races 9, 8 races 7, 6 races 5, 4 races 3 and 2 races Leo for the "El Jefe" spot. Winners of each race get the higher spot. You race who you race, NO CRY BABIES!!! If the guy is faster, take a chance - You are guaranteed a spot anyway. Looking forward to Saturday. -- Mod, 12:41:50 02/04/14 Tue
• After the latter is set everyone in their spots can we challenge once again that Saturday so there can be more action -- !!!! GOLD RUSH !!!!, 07:54:47 02/05/14 Wed
  • Sure, you are welcome to challenge up - Say you got the #4 Spot then you can challenge #3 that same day - But you can't skip spots - And if someone challenges you for your spot then you have to defend your spot first before trying to move up. We will discuss all this during a racers meeting on Saturday. -- Mod, 12:02:25 02/05/14 Wed

  • well they should've given the #2 spot to the mustang that raced Leo mochates. but the reason the spot races didn't work was because the "race" cars weren't racing while the street list was constantly racing. these rules basically ruled out the "street cars". and moving up a ladder style is just ripping off street outlaws show, stick to the format TDR always had. -- kike, 19:06:51 01/19/14 Sun
• You are right on that number 2 spot but it is an almost an open class run what you brung object is to have the fastest 10 race cars not the slowest -- Nick, 21:57:22 01/19/14 Sun
• Good feed back guys. For right now let's not challenge for spots but rather get some races going to fill up the remaining spots. We have 9 open spots so that's 18 cars that can get in on this. I was thinking maybe we all get together at the track, put names in a hat and you race who you pull. Once we have all the winners we drop spots in a hat, you pull a number and that's the spot you get. That's about as random as we can make it. What do u guys think? Or we can also say the first 9 cars that challenged race each other thru elimination rounds? First car eliminated goes to #10, last car remaining goes to #2. And if Leo is at the track then he can call out for the #1 Spot. Again...just throwing some ideas out there. -- Mod, 22:34:28 01/19/14 Sun

• "El Jefe" -- Mod, 14:03:45 01/18/14 Sat

• im my opnion the rules are to stric it should be bring what u have just an opinion (NT) -- c.h, 19:49:47 01/01/14 Wed
• So what's the word on this MOD? Just bring the spots back, open up 10 spots for real street since they are the ones that would be more involved in the action. If the spot holders don't make any challenges take it upon yourself to line them up with the spot holder above them. -- suggestion, 08:08:09 01/02/14 Thu
• They tried this spot racing thing and everyone just wanted a spot to show off their car they never tried moving up it was sad. If their was movement it would work. -- Andrew, 14:46:02 01/02/14 Thu
• Not really a fair observation there bud. We only had em for a few months. It's something that has to stick for a bit longer. -- Bullett, 13:48:23 01/03/14 Fri
• this site is dead! the spot races didn't work cus the mod wanted everyone to be racing every week. its impossible. with time racers would of start racing. -- tdr fan, 15:10:38 01/03/14 Fri
  • As I recall the mod was having them at the end of every month to work with everyone's schedule, not every week -- alv, 10:37:54 01/04/14 Sat
• ? -- alv, 10:35:30 01/04/14 Sat
• Bullet the racin didn't work because the racers didn't step up to the plate. Mod offered ideas and a schedule which was really good. No one moved up a spot everyone was content with keeping a spot. I agree try it again but racers need to move up or it will not work. -- Andrew, 14:04:49 01/04/14 Sat
• Thank you Andrew - That's absolutely correct. The rules were super simple - all we asked was that the cars be real street cars. And that we race once a month to give everyone a chance to get ready. But people won a spot then just sat there and didn't challenge the guy above them. Or some people would win a spot then not respond when challenged. If you watch Street Outlaws, they are all about moving up the list. New challengers must start at the bottom and work their way up. I am all for trying again but you dudes are going to have to do your part. -- Mod, 16:27:28 01/04/14 Sat
  • Just don't make rules like they have to have radios. -- TDR FAN, 17:21:35 01/04/14 Sat
• and dont put rules where everyone starts at #10. keep it simple....tags and inspection, working lights, two front seats, stock style suspension, any tire size, any power adder, no front hood scoops, only fibreglass allowed is hood. -- kike, 19:06:25 01/04/14 Sat
• very true keep rules simple if they want to trailer it cool if has inspection sticker and plates and are trailer it should be street some people live dam far i think its fair mod -- c.h, 19:58:56 01/04/14 Sat
• The reason for some of the rules was to try to keep out some of the really fast cars. If we soften up the rules we will see cars running 9's and 8's and even 7's. Which is cool except it keeps a lot of people out of the game. Then the races stop because nobody can keep up and we are back at square one...lol. That is the reason for radios and no trailers....etc....But I will do what ever you all went. Post up some rules you would like and let's put something together that everyone agrees with.... -- Mod, 21:02:03 01/04/14 Sat
• Car can be on trailer but if spot holder can ask for proof that the car is streetabe then both will make a crus from traviños like the old times that will make it fair for any body -- 1€, 03:02:32 01/05/14 Sun
• Henry Thomae's Chevelle can easily make the drive from Trevino's and that car has been in the 7's. -- Doc, 10:41:59 01/05/14 Sun
  • good for him, then he should have no problem getting the #1 spot. -- kike, 03:19:54 01/06/14 Mon
  • Henry's car used to make I don't think he would risk it at this level just ask him about the last drive. -- Ex Spot Holder, 18:11:08 01/06/14 Mon
    • I will drive from Trevino's anytime. Ask me what about last drive? Not sure what you are refering to. -- undertaker598, 18:03:10 01/08/14 Wed
• Why not make the rules like drag week ??every time you have to race you have to drive !!! It's a street cat right ? We will race all year so all the cars that made it thru the top 10 advance to the fast 32 then we will have a run what you brung race at the end of the year and the winner takes all just an idea for all the one who sit on there spot (spot hoggers ) will lose it at the end either way ... Orr for those big ballers that think you can drive across Texas lets set up sumpin at 3/5 Texas tracks and invite all Texas for the big event ..... Rules are simple radio, nhra legal, tags , insurance, no trailers queens ! And no cry babies .. -- Don pipe, 11:07:59 01/05/14 Sun
• DRIVE MAY BE REQUESTED BY SPOTHOLDER AND SHOULD BE DONE FROM TREVIÑOS. that should keep a lot of cars out. the list will eventually get fast and races will slow down but its just part of the game. none of this race once a month crap, races happen when spotholder says within a two or one week notice. spotholder has 3 days to reply to challenge or lose the spot. -- kike, 03:15:36 01/06/14 Mon
• Ahahahahaha aha treviños might as well let all the trailer queens join and make it like street outlaws and unload at the starting line lmfao GOT IT MOD THEN FOR 2014 make it the top 10 trailer queens ahahahaha drive from treviños how weak !!!! Or how bout we let the real street cars pull the race cars to the starting line lol -- I'll pull you with my ac on lol, 07:39:59 01/06/14 Mon
• okay all these the people that are against trailer either dont have one or cant afford one dont hate guys just be fair then again some people live dam far and they have a trailer and extra truck to pull and some just dont thats why they are hateing on trailering the race weeked car or truck -- c.h, 12:05:18 01/06/14 Mon
• I'm game. But when I hold a spot don't expect me to challenge up when the next car runs 9.9 and I'm running high 10's lol. -- Bullett, 21:50:59 01/06/14 Mon
• i agree with c.h...but if car/truck is state legal trim, why should it matter if it is trailered..maybe 5 heads up spots,and 5 index..jut sayn ..makes more races available -- king performance, 00:27:58 01/08/14 Wed
• Bunch of trailer queens !! Save those trailers for when you break !! -- Nuff sed with spot races still not up and trailer queens already crying..... RULE #1 !!!!!! racing will never get under way ..... Good luck ...... street cars/trucks rule, trailer queens drool.., 07:40:27 01/08/14 Wed
• dont be mad cause u cant afford one ^^^^^^^^ -- >>>>>, 11:56:38 01/08/14 Wed
• WHATS so dam wrong having to trailer out toys nothing wrong with that stop hateting people that dont own one and thats your only car or truck im proud to have a trailer and a truck to pull my hod street rod what your scared a car or truck being trailer -- b.b, 12:01:57 01/08/14 Wed
• Im ready to race phuck it -- undertaker598, 18:13:51 01/08/14 Wed
• just a sugjestion why not make the spots indexed like #1 9.49& faster #2 9.5-9.99 #3 10.0- 10.49 #4 10.5-10.99 #5 11.0-11.49 #6 11.5-11.99 #7 12.0- 12.49 #8 12.5-12.99 #9 13.0-13.49 #10 13.5 & up ir adjust the indeces to were most of the racers are at. -- rol, 19:26:55 01/09/14 Thu
  • Because that would be bracket racing!! -- Pedro, 22:57:38 01/09/14 Thu
• like that the rules dont matter you will still be matching up cars that run about the same = good races dont matter if their trailer queens vs real street cars and like this you dont have people challenging slower because they know they will beat them and take their spot and have it run what you brung for the particular spot -- rol, 19:34:24 01/09/14 Thu
  • Just let the board die, the same guys that cry about trailering are the same guys that race one time then stay in the same spot for months and have to be pushed by the mod to race so let it be!!!!!! -- TDR FAN, 22:39:37 01/09/14 Thu
• stick to the real street cars. Drive to the track and drive back home, very simple rule. if they can't follow it just dont participate. Mod is always trying to please or fit in his buddies, but his buddies never race, always complain and/or want money to run. let the real street cars have all the fun they are the ones always challenging and racing for bragging rights. -- tdr fan, 04:48:05 01/10/14 Fri
  • ^^^ best idea so far!!! -- simple rule, 07:35:15 01/10/14 Fri
• no rules bring what u got expect no drasters on street cars or trucks still dont get whats the deal haveing to trailer a street rod or truck -- TRAILER QUEEN AND PROUD OF IT, 10:07:25 01/10/14 Fri
• It doesn't have to king of the street it can be king of the track doesn't matter what you run it is the top 10 or whatever mod decides to run. You either are te fastest or you work to become the fastest no more bitching about trailering this is racing to become #1 not crying about street legal because this is not the street!!! -- Andres, 12:27:53 01/10/14 Fri
• that should be the 1 rule no crying and 2 rule bring what u got and thats it -- TRAILER QUEEN AND PROUD OF IT, 12:36:53 01/10/14 Fri
• BBOOORRRIIINNGGG -- Tu papi, 16:09:35 01/10/14 Fri
• Where is the Orange Crush, Hugo's red oldie truck, the Iron Giant, Smiley Farm truck, Rigo's boss mustang, Trevino's Cuda, Joel's turbo mustang, Goldrush, Bitchin 56 and the countless cars that used to race on STR? those are real street cars that were driven to the track not these trailer queens that dont race and stall the spots. those are the ones the mod should be aiming for and work the rules to accommodate them. -- GBP, 17:11:55 01/10/14 Fri
• The rules could not have been any easier last time we tried the Spot races. 1. No Crybabies (People still cried) 2. No Trailers (Some so called street cars still trailered (I have pics and video proof of a spot holder loading up his so called street car about 2 miles from the track at a gas station) 3. Car must have radio (I only checked about once or twice for this...lol) And that was it. And people still would not race. And that's because we scheduled races once a freaking month. And all I heard was - "Oh, why should we race when you want?" - Huh? Because that's when we could all meet and race. Anyway's, we aren't getting anywhere. I asked for ideas and all you all are doing is fighting...lol. But what ever...come up with good ideas and I will do what ever you all want. -- Mod, 23:48:44 01/10/14 Fri
• I say run the same rules Houston is runnin with their top ten list. The objective of the list is to have the top ten fastest cars on the track. -- Andres, 14:34:23 01/11/14 Sat
• I challenge for number one spot! LMAO -- undertaker598, 21:37:48 01/11/14 Sat
• Mod just an option to get the starting ten spots racers should have a month to run their best times. After the month the fastest ten times should be on the top ten of the list then the moving up and moving down can begin with number 10 having anyone open to race them. A spot holder can only be challenged 3 times a race night but not by the same person unless agreed upon. Arguments will be made over rules unless we can all agree on run what you have. If it is not fast enough get it faster.. -- Sharing ideas I want to see good racing, 01:04:38 01/12/14 Sun
• how about keep the same rules but this time instead of once a month races race when the challenger challenges for that spot spot holder then has next available track day (mainly fridays) to accept or forfeit spot and challenges could not be made any later than Tuesday of that respective week. -- nightmare2012, 05:33:13 01/15/14 Wed
  • that's to logical. Logic doesn't work here. -- Don King, 19:16:02 01/15/14 Wed

• Why does the track have to throw anything in? What ever happened to grudge racing where your only reward was kicking the other guy's ass? -- MMA Fanatic, 10:24:44 01/09/14 Thu
  • the valley racers won't grudge race anymore unless someone pays them to race because they won't risk breaking parts for the entertainment of others. That's why money has to be involved. -- fan of the fan from the tdr fan, 03:52:55 01/10/14 Fri
