How crazy is that, 153?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:26)
Dude, it just continues. We do this like in every week. It kind of goes up by one.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
It's so weird. I'm excited.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:34)
I feel like I've been gone for like a month or something. Man, this trip to Back to the Streets is pretty wild. I really will talk about it a little bit. Tonight, we've got a whole packed show of Drag and Drive News and Entertainment. I'm telling you, we've got people on from Back to the Streets.
We've got the busy season. I'm not even going to put it in air quotes with my fingers. It is the busy season coming up.
There's some cars that are going to debut at Sixth Summer that are cool. You got talking about in the J-Wire Solutions segment, and then we got Matt Lang on, who's the promoter of Back to the Streets, and then we've got a bunch of racers that are on too from the 2026 event. I can't wait to get these folks on because I want to talk about wins and loss records. I want to talk about camping because, bro, Back to the Streets took camping to an entirely new level like 80 plus percent of people camped at Back to the Street. It was absolutely insane. Plus, it's no prep and I really have some thoughts like, one, why, two, how, and three, how do you get your car set up for that? Guys like Dan Chandler that run a bunch of events every year. Did he change his stuff? So he's on tonight too to talk about all that stuff. So if you don't mind sir, let's hit the intro video and let's do this thing.

**Eric** (1:53)
All right, let's go.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:01)
All right, sorry, I'm just finishing up sharing out the event, which I hope folks will do as we get in here to episode 153 of the Drag Driver Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing. Like I said earlier, we've got Matt Lang and a whole bunch of racers on from Back to the Streets tonight, it's gonna be awesome. It was really cool to hang out with a bunch of people, and a lot of times we end up at a hotel a couple nights of trip, we end up at the camping a couple nights of trip. This time I slept in the truck three of the four nights I was gone.
Man, I don't know if I want to do that anymore.
It was great. The Ford truck is great. It's a four-door, so there's plenty of room. But man, unloading and loading and doing all the stuff you have to do during that, it kind of sucked. So it ended up setting up the tent the last night that kind of connects to the canopy and it was really good. We had a good time with that. But the one thing that was cool was getting to see all of our race car friends.
That was all like, dude, there were so many people there that just follow us. I mean, I got to meet a ton of new people that I'd never met before and they come up and it's so cool to hear, hey, man, I've been watching your stuff or dude, the whole drive here, we listen to your podcast stuff. That was really neat. So I appreciate everybody doing all of that and coming up and making those comments. So I appreciate you guys for all of that. And then of course, you know, these kind trips wouldn't be possible without our sponsors. I mean, these guys, they work hard for us. We try and work hard for them and talk on us. If you're going to do some shopping, we'd appreciate if you'd hit up like Summit Racing, who's the title sponsor of the show and the news. It happens on Saturday mornings. And then of course, the circuit, which happened just a few weeks ago. Deech Works, of course, the official fuel delivery of Drag Drive Repeat. If they brought two cars to the circuit and sponsored the racer party and have sponsored our Feed the Racers program, which is how we do lunches and snacks at our single day events. So, appreciate them for that. Molly Motorsports, of course, best pistons in the game. You have pistons in the, you're putting pistons in the car rebuild. Yep. And then of course, they drove, Adam drove all the way out from North Carolina to come out and see us at the circuit. Appreciate them. And then Driven Racing Oil, who is everywhere, bro. Have you seen, they're at like tractor pools and they're doing, I think, 80% of the Dragon Drives this year they're gonna be on. It's absolutely crazy. J-Wire Solutions, of course, Jay and Brian came down, you know, I mean, just kick an ass, we're gonna talk about a new project car at J-Wire that is gonna be a great debut this weekend. Howard's Cams, of course, Luke B and the boys over there, Valve Train Specialist, that's all I'm gonna say.
