GreasyBlocks has been dropping these Street Dreams videos since day one, and this one has been highly anticipated by a few people. Danny Alaniz is one of the dopest camera operators in the game and his footage is always a great feeling. It puts you right in the action. Looks like they are getting it in HEAVY in the desert!
Who else wants a taste of this West Coast action?

Go from a dig?

Joe Simpson and the rest of the crew at Tempest racing are excited to announce a new location.Tempest Racing has been in operation for 10 years and has undergone many changes over the years.  However this is by far the biggest and best move to date ! This move was accomplished when Joe joined forces with Jeff Croy,owner of LDG Automotive Specialists. Together they decided to build Tempest Racing into the largest and most complete race fabrication and dyno tuning facility in the tri-state area!
The new location features more than 8,000 sq feet of available space, a in ground Dyno-jet chassis dyno, multiple lifts, rim/tire mounting equipment, diagnostic equipment, alignment machine, and expansion of our fabrication tooling and equipment. For everybody’s safety and protection the new facility has also been fitted with a security system including multiple security camera’s inside and out.
In addition to the much larger work area, the new facility will now have a dedicated show room and inventory storage area for all of your performance part needs. After 10+ years in the business, we have established wholesale distributor / dealer accounts with tons of     Manufacturers so we can provide you with whatever parts you may need, when you need them!
The new location is: 857 Keith Lane Owings MD 20736
Conveniently just 20 miles off of major highways 495 / 95 / 301.  Closer to all major cities in the area including Washington DC, Northern Virgina, and Annapolis.  however, they  are not much further from customers coming from the south. Maryland International Raceway, in Mechanicsville MD, is 35 miles away and Capital raceway, in Crofton Maryland, is 29 miles away.  2 race tracks in less than 45 min! Cant beat that!
Look for a “GRAND” Grand opening with product giveaways; introductory labor and tuning specials, and a whole lot more! Grand opening date will be announced soon.
More information will be forthcoming including pictures of the new facility as they become available. Tempest would like to thank all of their past, current, and future customers for making this opportunity possible!

NationRIDE: Day12. Little Rock… DETOUR!

Friday Morning I got up, Cleaned up, and then bounced out on the road headed for Little Rock. This is only like a 2 hour ride.
Weather was perfect though, so it made time to take a grip of pictures
Took a stroll through Memphis on my way out of town.
Fianlly hit 40 and saw signs of flooding from the get go.
Down by the river.
So long Tennessee
The flooding had not gotten bad yet.
What up Arkansas!
Waters were so high!
Saw this Corvette Pace Car Edition
For the next 30+ miles you could see signs of storm and flood damage
40 was closed due to secvere flooding so we had to take a detour. I thought at the most it would be an hour and there was not much traffic so I did not have worries of sitting.
…over an hour later, over 20 miles away, somewhere with Rice fields and trains. Had no clue of where I was at. It was hot, Intake temps got in the 140s, so I shut it down. Constant temp never got over 179, thanks for the datalog option Hondata!
Finally turned on some route going back towards 40, or so I thought!
Old classic cars all in the area!
This part of the road was upsetting to me because we started going through housing areas and all with houses just DESTROYED by water. Looked like a wave came through and hit some of these mobile homes. I will let the pics talk some.
From what I was told by a driver recently, this road is now closed too, and you have to detour even further around the state.
Finally got off of the detour and where am I? Off highway 67 78 miles from Little Rock. Damn…up in the state!
almost 100 miles away and I am STILL seeing standing water in mass amounts!
Last shot before my camera battery said F-U!
This drive was humbling. While it was good to finally get back on the road it bothered me to see what I saw. My prayers go out to those not as fortunate as we are to have the small things we take for granted. Be on the lookout for the Oklahoma City post!
On the road! Finally done with all that shitty weather! Check out the ride to Little Rock!
