If you saw this silver ‘vert roll up at the stoplight you might think to yourself, “self, why would someone bother modding a ‘vert?” and then you’d probably think “why is this ‘vette next to me quietly pounding the ground” and then as it pulls off you hear it sit on the converter and the turbos spool and you think to yourself “ZOMG MUZT HAZ CAR!”

For a car that is comparably quiet and looks completely freaking stock this is the baddest car i’ve ever seen and it STILL gets 27mpg on the highway… It’s got a twin turbo kit and built everything… Friggin’ thing makes 861 on pump gas… to me that is effin’ baaaaaddd.

And if any of you out there have a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket you can own this rocketship…Buy it on eBay!

If you’re in the market for a vette, or anything sporty for that matter, you seriously need to look at this thing… You’re missing out if you dont.

And just as a side story, while following the owner to take these photos he would gas it every now and then just long enough to spool the turbos and lay down about 10ft of rubber. This meant I had to go from cruising in 5th to winding out 2nd, powershifting 3rd and finally catching back up about 10 seconds later. Apparently, 17lbs in the SS/TC isn’t enough to keep up with the ‘vette! Now i know how StunnaBEN is gonna feel after he sees my tail lights when we bump off

Everyone, take a trip in your mind. Think about hauling ass down the road in a 700 horsepower S2000 with a screaming turbo Hayabusa beside you, in the top of the gears towards the 150mph range. . Well, Jeff’s experience took a turn for the wall, at the peak of that 150mph car vs bike run! Now he is back with a new build aiming to crush a lot of egos!

Most of you guys have seen the videos on the net of cars doing these insane highway pulls like the Texas and Florida Supra boys. Imagine hitting the wall or running off the road, flipping, etc at the peak of that pull after losing control or a blowout. Shit sounds like a crazy ride that one certainly wont walk away from doesn’t it. Jeff has first hand experience in this department, in his original S2k from Hell build, and has came back in full drag trim to pick up where his beast of a street car left off.

S2k seems to be the new car to build. Chevy LS- motors (Greasy loves LS# blocks), Toyota 2jz swaps, Nissan SR&RB blocks, and even Dodge motors, these chassis seem to be getting the royal treatment to fit anything. Is it the next foxbody, probably not, but for a street car where you can ride with the top down it makes for a nice platform to play with.

Jeff Straka’s Spec Sheet:

I’m gonna start off by saying Shreveport is WHACK. I work at a software company that sell’s pharmacy, nursing home, and hospital software. I have been working this for almost 8 years now. Straight out high school with no college and went straight to work. I’m getting ready to buy my first house and just bought a new 2011 Silverado. Life’s good man, except if I can get these females to act right, know what I mean lol. If anyone ever want’s come through shreveport and you wanna drink, hollar at me I can make sure you have a good time and same thing goes for gambling. I swear i’m gonna get Hobbs out here and work his ass in the casino

-Went from a stock block to a built long block with all the good stuff inside

Name: Jeff Straka
State: Louisiana
Daily Grind: I’m gonna start off by saying Shreveport is WHACK. I work at a software company that sell’s pharmacy, nursing home, and hospital software.

If anyone ever wants through Shreveport and you wanna drink, hollar at me I can make sure you have a good time and same thing goes for gambling.

What made you come back after such a wild accident: Man that accident scared the shit outta me. I dont know if many people know the details behind that accident but i’ll let Greasyblocks in on what happened. I’m from a decent size city with a decent size car scene. I had ran through majority of these cars down here on the street. I’m sure everyone seen my video, S2000 From Hell. Well alotta people around here got a little pissed off with car, mainly them domestic people, and it really got outta hand. I had shit coming out the wood works to race. Well we would have a monthly cruise/meet and what not down here, so at the next cruise after that video hit we were out and it was probaly one of the biggest cruises we had seen. There was probably 30 or so cars cruising? Well the cruise was like a 20-30 mile cruise and at one point there is like a 3 mile two lane bridge. I was leading the cruise, car on race gas and making all the power it could, and a busa came around the pack and got next to me. We were going about 40 and punched it and man around 150 or so we went to shut down and he came on his brakes hard. Last thing I remembered was either hitting him on that back tire cause we were so close or locking up the brakes. I locked em up and spun that thing like a top and bounced off a couple walls. Car was paid off and I made some money off it. I thought about parting everything else out and just being done with car’s but I think around that time Inline Pro lifted the wheels and redstar went 8’s. I said to myself mannnnnn I cant quit now. So I took it up a notch and went back to work.

What do you think about the s2k chassis for drag racing: So many people like to talk noise about using this chassis for drag racing but I dont really understand why? Yea, honda designed it to be a road race type car but then again I dont think honda designed the civic or integra chassis to run 8 second quarter miles, did they? People can say what they want but you can’t argue a 2200lb drag car making 800-1000whp and being RWD. Alot of the s2k crowd is an older generation and are more intrigued into auto x or road racing but they are doing the same thing we are by cutting up there chassis to being lighter and what not. So what gives them the right to knock us for what were doing? RWD, Lightweight, Big power and now a very large aftermarket….Enough said

Plans for it: I’ve done more to this car then I can remember! I’m gonna try and not forget anything but it’s quite possible that somethings may get left out.

• Went from a stock block to a built long block with all the good stuff inside
• Ditched the PPG tranny and i’m now rocking a TH400 automatic built by Rossler
• Switched out that Inline Pro R200 diff setup and went to a Custom 9 Inch setup with Strange double adjustable coilovers, wilwood brakes and DSS hooked up me on the driveshaft.
• No more stock wheels and drag radials. Car has been tubbed and running a 15×12 wheel and a 28 inch tall tire
• Tony got me talked into this Kinsler Intake Manifold. Damn he’s good at persuading me!
• Swapped out from the S372R to something a little bigger
• Car has been caged for 8.50’s and I hope it needs that 25.5 after it’s dialed in.
• All new fuel setup
• Alot more fab work from T1..

Where we will see you next: Man i’m dying to race. I havent been to IFO since April 09 where I raced last. My last pass down the track was a 10.40@140. I’ve got the fever to race again. I even stayed off Honda-Tech for a while because I couldn’t stand to see the events coming up. I’m going to finish this thing up and hit every ifo within 12 hours of me. I wanna goto Etown or any big race. I’m trying to break out this year. I’m trying to do it big. It’s gonna happen. I’m gonna be out ASAP @ the track only. Done with the street.

Close it out: I can’t say thanks enough to the friends that have made me keep my head in the game and keep working on this thing. I’ve had more then enough haters to tell me that this thing will never run and that im building a failure. It’s cool though, I’ve stuck through it and i’m doing my thing. This far into it I dont think anyone can bring me down. I don’t think people realize man, I started this project as a kid and i’m doing this on my own. No one is giving me anything and no one is helping pay for this.

Really and honestly this car wouldnt became what it became with out Tony and rest the guys at T1. Man Tony has been more then helpful through this whole project. He’s taken very very good care of me and the car. I couldn’t say thanks enough. Those are some good ass people over there at T1.

Last but not least, I’m coming out to be competitive. That being said Red Star is on my radar and that’s my goal….I look forward to seeing some fast ass s2000’s.

I’m about to get busy on this car and well be ready very very soon…That being said LETS RACE

Jeff’s S2k will have purist punks reaching for their online razorblades and will have drag junkies sipping on his kool-aid! I cannot wait to see this guys videos! From what I hear, there are a few forums with hate threads and tons of negative comments about Jeff and his hellion.

Here is a GreasyBlocks salute to you all…

… oh yea, add the GreasyBlocks.com fan page on Facebook!

1. S2k from Hell: Progress to the Mayhem!

We LOVE spectator videos!!!!!! Shot outs to the guys at BMC race!

All week long the forums stayed lit-up with the “who is gonna win” talk about the grudge match between Miller and Tony. People just knew up and down who was gonna take it. What we did not know is that there was gonna be a fucking flood at the event. Shot outs to Cliff for trying, and we here at Greasy hate that it rained our for you. I remember with the Nyce1s race, people were quick to judge and talk about bad planning instead of the fact that weather happens. Be glad you didn’t get that. But then again, we all know how these folks can be.

Biggest shot outs to my man Tim. Dude kept his celly on hot, and probably used more data stream in a day that most of us will use in months with his generous life feed of the event. Instead of having a forum full of judgments, like we did in previous I JUST NAMED RACES, he let us see things for ourselves. I stayed on the ustream chat that Tim aka IHAVETURBOS had all day long watching and just as eager as everyone else was to see this go down. At peak, 7pm, there were over 440 people in the stream watching, and over 60 actively commenting. That chat was full of a bunch of fucktardary, which I gladly took place in, but it was a clear sign that the 2011 season will be a strong season with proper support. This shit basically rained out, yet there was a line longer than 70% of last years races according to a few unnamed racers. Think about if it would’ve been dry. What kind of jump off this would’ve been.

Tony and Miller both showed me what their prep weekend was like too! I asked them a few questions, and never posted this but figured I would share to show you all what really went into this week prepping for this race.

Tony1:

GB: Yo Tony, has anything been really trying this week? You having a hard time with the setup for the race?
T1: (Jan 27th email) Finish the 25.5 cage, done.  Get cage certified, done.  Assemble trans, waiting on gears, be here TOMORROW!  Need to put the new turbo on, which I STILL don’t have…  Need to re-tune with the new turbo which I don’t have.  All good though, we’ll make it happen, I’m not worried about it. Yet…

GB: How many passes will it take for you to get used to the new cage?
T1: I don’t think it will take me any time to get used to the cage, it’s a bunch of bars but none that really affect me.  Only real difference is slightly different seat/shifter/wheel position, but I think I’ll adapt quickly.

Miller:

GB: Yo Miller, what the hell are you up to? Are you gonna be ready for this race or not?
Miller: (Jan 26 text) Damn right I am. It will be a long night at the Shop. The goal is to lock myself in with some Rockstars and pizza, throw on some Jay-z  and get in the zone. This motor will be ready to run tonight!

Miller: 3:56am on Tuesday and after finding a ton of issues she is alive and ready!
GB: FUCK YEA!!!

Its always good to see the behind-the-scenes of what racers do, and these guys both worked their asses off this week. From seeing the snow storm that Miller went through to seeing all of the new additions to Tony’s Integra. This all got me on the edge of my seat to start keeping up with the season and anxious to see how the 25.5 cage works out for him, The 67mm car Miller spoke of, and who else is making noise in 2011.

What are you doing this year? Hit us up and let us know. We are always looking for more drag coverage. Info@Greasyblocks.com

Joe Simpson is back!

Look who came out of the bay, from behind the welding mask! A number of people have spoken and it seems that people can barely contain their excitement for the 2011 season. Everyone is looking healthy and eager to get back out making passes.

The color of this car is just raw, and much better than the previous form of white when he picked it up. Seems that the car did not need much in bodywork, but such a great welding hand, the bay for reworked quickly! I am expecting this to be on the track very soon.

Stay tuned to Greasy for updates on the project.

I have rubber all in my Luie Luggage, trackbite on my gear, and a vp racing through my veins, along with TONS of coverage from arguably one of the most exciting races I have ever been a part of! American muscle never sounded so pleasing, and Imports have never been so quick. If you missed out, you missed a hell of a time!

You know, normally I blast these blogs out with some input, but this time I wont sit around and babble. Hands down, my new favorite event of the year. This had something for everyone, and you can see that in the upcoming gallery. And if this coverage looks shy, that’s because there is another part coming. There were so many usable pics, that I had to split it up into sections. So check it out, and respond with your thoughts on the coverage!

You should know by now that you will see drama on Greasy. Check out this Supra.

That John Force burnout was pretty wild looking, until…

…he hit the wall. I am not sure if he had a break, a malfunction, or just was a bad driver with a big burnout. My homie Julian from Nyce1s knows him and says we can rule out number 3. In any case, I am sure it will just buff out!

Check out more in the gallery!

Make sure to check in for Part 2 of this coverage next week!
