Description

Welcome to Episode 120 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing

Episode 120 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing was one for the record books, as the spotlight turned to the 8.500 index class—one of drag-and-drive’s most competitive and unforgiving battlegrounds. Host Mike and co-host Eric welcomed a stacked lineup of guests: Steve and Dustin Trance, Brian Acton, Jay Blanchard, and Mark Campbell, all veterans of the grueling drag-and-drive world and proven hitters in the 8.50 field.

For more than two hours, the panel dissected what it takes to build, tune, and race a true 8.500 machine. From hard lessons learned at Hot Rod Drag Week to stories of repairs under parking lot lights, the conversation showcased the camaraderie, precision, and madness that defines this index.
