In this latest installment of 1320video's Race Week 2.0, we find ourselves in the heart of Texas and Louisiana, exploring a variety of tracks that promise adrenaline-fueled action. From the iconic Pine Valley Raceway to the renowned Texas Motorplex, home of TX2K, the racing enthusiasts are in for a treat. But the excitement doesn't stop there, as the journey takes us to lesser-known gems like State Capital Raceway and Twin City Motorsports Park, each offering a unique backdrop for high-octane showdowns.

Among the standout contenders is a 1937 Diamond T truck that defies convention with its twin-turbo setup and 408 LS engine, delivering a formidable 715 horsepower to the wheels. The truck's history, sourced from Facebook Marketplace, adds to its allure, while its 4WD configuration raises eyebrows and expectations on the track. Meanwhile, a classic 1955 Chevy undergoes a remarkable transformation into a drag racing beast, powered by a 427 LS engine and a 107mm turbo, setting its sights on breaking into the 9-second territory.

The spotlight shifts to the dynamic duo of Tom Stark and his son, known for their LS3-powered wagon that's no stranger to speed. With a goal of hitting the coveted 9-second mark, the team's meticulous attention to detail and strategic nitrous setup promise an exhilarating performance. As the day unfolds, we witness a diverse range of vehicles pushing the limits, from a Grom motorcycle rider upgrading to a Husqvarna for faster runs to a Duramax-swapped Chevelle surprising onlookers with its impressive 10.59 pass. The Falcon, with its LS procharged engine and turbo 400 transmission, showcases the perfect blend of power and weight, delivering a stellar 9.05 run that leaves enthusiasts in awe.
