Moron Nation Unfiltered

Moron Nation Unfiltered Episode 16 comes to you from an almost completely empty Brainerd International Raceway following our runner-up finish in NHRA Outlaw Street!Testing the Monday before Brainerd was terrible. The car shook hard, tore up parts and left us heading into the race with more questions than answers. Once we arrived, Brandon and the crew went to work, the car improved nearly every trip down the track and we qualified No. 2.Shawn’s work on the tree paid off when we won an incredibly close semifinal on a holeshot, but Scott earned the final-round win with a .004 reaction time. We break down the entire weekend, what finally made the car happy and why NHRA Outlaw Street appears to be winning over both the racers and the fans.Then come the reality checks.We’re missing Outlaw Armageddon for the first time ever as we prepare for the biggest drag race in the country—the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. Shawn will also be signing autographs at the Cruz Pedregon Racing open house before we head to Beech Bend for our first LS Fest East with ShopTruck and Aiden’s GoldMember burnout Blazer.Finally, Shawn addresses the bombshell he dropped in Sunday’s video: Could we really give Blue back?We love racing that car, but we’re essentially trying to fund and operate two Pro Mod-level programs with one crew and a limited budget. We either need more partners, more resources or fewer cars competing for the same time and money.Let us know what you think about the future of Blue, the NHRA Outlaw Street class and where you’re watching or listening to the podcast!👕Get your official Murder Nova and 187 Customs apparel or order parts for your hotrod at:https://www.themurdernova.comGet your Never Eyewear here:https://neveneyewear.com/?rfsn=8810281.b585c0&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8810281.b585c0 mTAGSFollow Us!https://www.facebook.com/187Nova/https://www.facebook.com/187customsLLC/https://www.instagram.com/murdernova/https://www.instagram.com/187customs_/https://www.instagram.com/phantom.405/
