After we chopped it up with Kyle, we shot around on our new electric pit bikes to see what everyone around the track was up to. We met up with Shawn, aka murder nova, and took a short tour around with his crew.
Being back in the racing atmosphere that No prep kinds bring is unlike any other feeling in the drag racing world. We love being back and it brings us an immense sense of nostalgia that we have been missing. We can’t wait to see what this new show and our road trip around the country will bring us. You can be sure to follow along with all of our antics and endeavors on our YouTube channel!

This car had obviously seen better days, but for how long it had been sitting it was in pretty good shape. There were two different time frames given for how long the car was suspected to be sitting. The first guess we heard was around 20 years and then Al, the owner of the lot, came by and said he would have to check the books but he was pretty sure it was closer to 8 years. Either way, time had definitely taken its toll on this beautiful car. The interior of the car was very rough but that is not anything to worry about with the select group of people surrounding the car. In good Farmtruck fashion, he wanted to see if the caddy would start-up because why not ya' know!. After giving the carburetor a healthy spray of starting fluid, the car gave a few seconds of life and that was good enough for everyone around.
After talking back and forth with Al, Farm finally asked the question to find out how much he was asking for the Cadillac. After some deep consideration, Al turned back to Farm and dropped an absolute bombshell on Farm by telling him he is donating the car to us. Having a 1976 Eldorado is one thing, but it is given to you for free is a completely different feeling! Al also made sure to have one of the tow trucks from his fleet take the caddy all the back to our shop in Bethany. Farm and Azn were ecstatic and could not thank Al enough for all of the kind gestures he made to us. We will forever be grateful for Al and top of the line towing business he built from the ground up. Farms' original plan for the caddy was to cut it up and make something unique and cool out of it. After hearing some feedback from our YouTube comment section and others, he may just change his mind to restore the car back to its glory days to preserve the history that the rare car carries.
]]>As you can see from the picture above, the van underneath the camper car was simply made just to go fast and not exactly to please the eye. Considering that is the large majority of our vehicles' themes, it was a shock to hear that Farmtruck wanted the van underneath the camper car to get a fresh new paint job. When the word paint is used here around the shop, we know exactly to who the first phone call is going to be made. Dale over at performance auto painting in collision in Bethany Oklahoma has consistently done amazing work on all of the crazy projects that we throw at him. We are starting to believe we need to make our projects more difficult to paint just to give him a little bit of a challenge. Farm was not looking for an extravagant paint job that catches the eye anywhere it goes. He wanted the van to return to its original color and have a little flare in it at the same time. Dale got to work on the van and shortly after we were able to go view it for the first time. We were blown away with how good the van looked, he even added some flakes into the paint and Azn compared it to a brand new bass boat. You may be wondering why we decided to paint a van that lives most of its life underneath a camper shell, Farm wants every link of the chain to be perfected inside his fleet. If he has to raise the shell at a show or at the dragstrip to get to the engine or any other part of the van, he wants the van to look at its very best at all times. He also stated in the YouTube video that he has always wanted a van like the camper car van. It is very cool to see him live out his dreams from when he was younger through the projects he completes now. The crew returned to the shop to work on getting the camper show back on top of the van. What’s working on a farm truck and Azn project without scratching it up? As Azn was pulling the van underneath the shell, he scratched the camper shell right on top of the van‘s roof. A normal person would’ve been mad after scratching up a brand new paint job, but we believe Farm got even more excited after it showed some rough edges. As for now, the brand new painted camper van finds its forever home underneath the camper shell just waiting to prey on unsuspecting racers.

The setup we were given by the show was amazing and we truly do not believe that it could have been any better. Being able to be right next to the Church boys racing booth was great and we even had to steal some of their workers to keep our line moving consistently. We are extremely grateful for everyone that stopped by to say hello and grab an autograph or a picture with us. Meeting racing fans from other states and backgrounds is always a fun adventure and it's what keeps a smile on our faces.
For now, the boys will get some much-needed rest, and then it's back to Indiana for the Wagler Spring Nationals on April 29th! We are excited about this event and can't wait to see what fun builds are going to make an appearance to try and take the trophies at the end of the day.

This has to be one of our favorite parts of our position. From shop chairs to stickers, to completely random things out of the blue, we never know what’s going to show up on our doorstep next. This time around, Vyper chairs decided to send out some of their products. These products consisted of quality shop chairs that could be seen as over-engineered. Our mechanic Ed had the task of putting these chairs together, but he couldn’t leave out all the fun for himself. He left a chair in the box for Farm and Azn to put together. Farm was adamant about not using the instructions as he claims that the process of figuring it out is the most fun part of putting things together.
After putting the chair together wrong a few times the duo finally figured it out just in time for Daddy Dave to walk through the door. Surprised by the guest, Farmtruck and Azn began to explain how well the chairs were built and Dave quickly agreed with them as he could see the build quality immediately. As we all know well, things get funny fast when street outlaws are together. Azn began pulling Dave around the shop on the chair and when Dave was pulled next to farm, farm lowered a shoulder into him and pushed him off the chair. You never know what to expect when these guys are together, but you know that something is going to make you laugh eventually. We want to thank Viper chairs for sending out some of their products as they exceeded our expectations and are a huge asset in our shop nowadays. We highly recommend checking them out and will link their products below.
We are pumped to be a part of this awesome event and we love Jeremy Wagner! The hearse will be hot and ready to make some full-fledged passes down the strip. This event comes a few weeks after our trip over to Ohio for the 2022 Summit Racing Equipment Piston Powered Auto-Rama.

With this being said, we are extremely excited to announce one of our upcoming events taking place in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the 2022 Summit Racing Equipment Piston Powered Auto-Rama. We will have the chance to be a part of the Church Boys' Racing booth. This event will take place from April 1st to April 3rd.
We are stoked to be a part of this awesome event and even more stoked to do it with such an amazing family. We will be planning to haul some of our builds over with us. As of now, this includes the Farm boat, Burnout truck, The Farmtruck, and Azns Chebby 2. We cant wait to see all of your smiling faces at the event!
Originally making the trip for the trade show, farm and Azn stopped in Bradenton while making their way back home. Heading to the freedom factory had them stumped when they came up to a locked fence with nowhere to turn a trailer around. Luckily a man named Josh, who they later found out was the operations manager at the track, saw them and immediately recognized the two.
After a short conversation, Farm was already unloading the ear rattling c10 from his enclosed trailer. Azn, armed with only a GoPro, had the important task of capturing all of the craziness about to go down at the track. Farm drove the Farmtruck up and onto the track and began to heat his tires up with a couple of laps. After Cletus had gotten some good footage of the truck going around, he decide it was his turn to jump in and join him.
Not only did Cletus join in, he almost stole the show with his impressive drifting skills. He maneuvered around the Farmtruck effortlessly as Mike Patey, a celebrated Aviation pilot, riding shotgun in the corvette. Azn made sure to get the best shots he could with a GoPro and a dream. The group finished off the day down by the middle of the track with Cletus drifting a circle around the Farmtruck doing a burnout. All of this craziness seems impossible almost for one day, but that is what these guys live for. Farm truck and Azn loved every second at the Freedom Factory and they wish nothing but more success for Cletus and his crew!

If you attended the show, you could have found a rusty c10, a boat, and a giant prison bus lounging on the west side of the 200,000 square foot Bennett event center. Nothing excites Farmtruck and Azn more than being able to see followers and fans of their crazy antics in the same spot. The event started on the fourth of March and continued up until the sixth. Farm and Azn were only supposed to sign autographs and meet fans for four or so hours on the fifth, but they decided to come out every day and conversate with the racing fans.
The weekend was very rewarding and a ton of smiling faces came through to say what's up to the busy duo, but Farmtruck and Azn said they'd do it all over again if possible. They want to make it clear that without the support of people like you reading this blog, they would not be able to come up with crazy ideas and produce them. Farm could be heard countless times saying thank you to the people in line for keeping them on the road and constantly putting out new jaw-dropping builds. The show wrapped up on the sixth and Farmtruck made sure to burn as much rubber as allowed while he was driving out of the Bennett Event Center.

Not only do we spend our time going over our builds in depth, we focus on trying to have as much fun as possible as well. If you've been enjoying the spin off show so far, we truly believe that you will enjoy our YouTube just as much. Some of our favorite videos on our YouTube include videos of Farm before the lights and cameras, special build walk arounds, and other funny antics because who the heck really knows what Farmtruck and Azn will bring to the shop at any time.
Although we are sad our spinoff show has aired it's finale, our YouTube channel will be our main focus from here on out and we will put our best ability into entertaining you for many months and years to come. Our recent endeavors in the YouTube world featured Farmtruck and Azn visiting Cletus McFarland over at the freedom factory in Florida.
Farm got the chance to make some trips around the track while Cletus drifted his corvette around the rusty c10. If you check us out over on YouTube, leave us a comment that you’re from the spin-off show, or this blog and we will comment a big FNA Thank you!

Following the episode, reviews were very mixed when people heard an electric vehicle and Farmtruck and Azn in the same sentence. Farm and Azn wanted a way to show off a different approach to going fast and having fun while doing it. Although “sparky” did not necessarily perform to the standards that Farmtruck and Azn are used to, they believe the knowledge they gained from the experience can be utilized down the road just in case they stumble across a few more batteries.
For now, Azn is hard at work researching and making calls to try and see if he can improve the overall ability of the truck. However, stepping into new territory with electricity and batteries is not always sunshine and rainbows. In the episode, you can see the batteries creating what is called an “arc” on about the third attempt at a pass down the drag strip. An electric arc, or arc discharge, is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces a prolonged electrical discharge. In this case, the discharge was inches away from Azn as he prepared to race Farmtruck. With some quick thinking from the surrounding crew and Azn, he was able to make it out of the vehicle and would not become a victim of an electric chair. The boys have quite a ways to go with Sparky before they can make consistent passes down the strip, but the journey is what makes it all worth it in the end.

Over the last few years, the hearse has sort of taken the backseat to a few projects that have had more of a deadline on them. This hearse isn’t all fun and games now however, what used to be a fun vehicle to go out and prank people is now laying down burnt rubber almost anywhere it goes. The Hearse is now home to a 6.6L Duramax with a compound turbo setup as well as enough nitrous to wake up the dead. With the nitrous laying cozy inside of the coffin in the back, this hearse is the perfect sleeper.
Although Farm and Azn were finally happy to have the hearse fully completed, they weren't stopping there. They decided they were going to shoot for the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest hearse in the quarter-mile. The group already knew that there were faster hearses out and about, but they wanted the bragging rights that come with a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. The time to beat was 115.6mph at 12.20 seconds. After a few failed test runs, the hearse finally woke the demons up and hightailed it down the track. The run it made was just quick enough to yet again give Farmtruck and Azn another accomplishment to their names by running an 11.06 at 120mph in the quarter mile.
Farm is heard in the YouTube video reviewing the process saying that the Hearse is extremely important to him because of the time the vehicle has been a part of the crew. With the Guinness record behind them now, Farmtruck and Azn are setting their sights on possibly racing other hearses to see what it will take to push the hearse to the next level.

As we could see in the episode, the spit wad reaches the sixty foot mark at around one second while testing it safely. Azn stepped up to be the test pilot in this build and was extremely surprised to feel the power that this pressurized Street rocket provided. He immediately felt his stomach drop like he was on a roller coaster and noted that he had never felt anything like that before out of any vehicle he had been inside of.
We know that this is something incredible because those words come from a man who was violently spun in a nitrous chair for approximately eight seconds at an incredible rate of speed and g-force. It will be tough to top these three builds in recent episodes, but knowing this duo, they will do it and do it consistently.

This camper has life of its own! Sitting underneath the shell of the camper is a fully functional van body and a working drivetrain to push this camper at speeds that wow anyone that can look past this rogue trailer barreling down the streets. The racing duo revealed this project on their new spin-off show released on discovery channel this past Monday as the first build for the premiering episode. Within two short days of this episode, the camper on the loose has caught the eyes of millions and Farmtruck and Azn have managed to entertain the public just as routinely as they did on the mother show, street outlaws.
With seven more episodes existing in their spin-off show, there’s no telling what other builds will make an appearance to leave us speechless!

The team has been given the chance to show off their crazy ideas and imaginations while building eight separate projects. These builds are unlike anything ever seen on television and the internet. Some of the builds haven’t even had the chance to be announced on the tv show because they were leaked due to the builds being so crazy and out of this world. The Farmboat was the first leaked build and it went viral on multiple platforms to say the least. In farm trucks defense, it is pretty difficult to keep the hype down when driving a pontoon boat with a truck shell on top of it down the highway.

This California native brings to the table a 1969 Chevy nova with a big block chevy with a brand new ProCharger. Shawn has agreed to let the Murder Nova become replicated as a small model car known as a diecast. Fans of street outlaws have grown to love these small replicas and routinely add to their collections when a new member of the TV show creates their personal diecast. Various members of the television show already have diecasts available. Some of these personalities include Farmtruck and his famous orange c10, Azn and his Dung Beetle bug, Jeff Lutz with his 57 Chevy, and Daddy Dave with his Goliath Chevy Nova. Most gearheads dream as a kid were to collect as many diecasts as possible. With the release of these new diecasts, those dreams are now a reality if they are avid watchers of street outlaws.
As the main focus of this product is the actual diecast itself, most can get distracted by the packaging it comes in. These slick designs are the work of Lou 405 Photo. Various photos from the TV show and photos taken by Lou himself are used as the artwork on these pieces. Because the artwork on these products are so well done, we have found that a good majority of buyers keep the diecast in the packaging. We are extremely excited for the release of the murder nova diecast and believe that it will complete quite a few of your collections.
