Default Re: No-prep/small-tire/outlaw street racer/social media infl

To give an example, there is a small-tire S10 with stock suspension and no wheelie bars, that reportedly runs in the 4s on the 1/8.

It is rarely able to make a clean pass- it looks like they're driving about 700 feet to make it to the 1/8. They're constantly fiddling with a progressive boost controller to try to keep it from striking the tires at the top end.

And not only does it not have a funny car cage, it doesn't even have proper back braces for the main hoop. There's no way that thing is even passing tech for an 11.49 lap, much less a 7-second one. But they've got at least three YouTube channels showing it racing on public roads, plus all their other social media accounts.
