CAMARO Lifts The BLOWER – Throwdown in T-Town

A couple of weekends ago, Tulsa Raceway Park held their Throwdown in T-Town event, one of the biggest springtime events in the midwest. The Throwdown features a wide range of classes, including these outlaw Pro Mods, hotrods capable of running the eighth mile in the mid-3’s at well over 200 MPH.

When you lean on a machine that hard, components fail in spectacular fashion, as you will see in this video from Urban Hillbilly. Keep an eye on the matte black Camaro in the left lane as it nears the finish line and pops the blower off the intake, leaving it cocked awkwardly to one side as the car coasts through the stripe. Despite the explosion, the Camaro still lays down a solid 3.75, thought the MPH was down quite a bit from what it should be on a 3.7 pass.

While the damage looks to be pretty severe, these teams keep a huge supply of spare parts, meaning if they had enough time, they may well have repaired the car for the next round. That’s the kind of dedication found at the track each weekend!
