After over a month off, the guys with Sailorman Promotions showed up to Atmore Dragstrip in Atmore, Alabama, hungry and ready for war. Street Car Cold War isn’t just another race weekend; it serves as a full-throttle reminder of where this sport began. No big budget teams, no glossy rigs, and no corporate polish. This was grassroots racing in its purest form, just racers, raw horsepower, and an unshakeable hunger for respect.
In a time when tracks are closing their doors and promoters are stepping back, events like this matter more than ever. Street Car Cold War puts the spotlight on the diehards, the racers who are wrenching well into morning, haul their own cars, and risk it all just for the love of the sport. For these guys, it isn’t about sponsorship deals or national titles, it’s about pride, passion, and proving themselves on the pavement.
For the fourth consecutive time, KK Performance out of Little Rock, Arkansas, proved why they are a dominant force in the 1 Power Adder Shootout, securing yet another win. They entered 3 of their machines, Sexy Red, Puncho’s Charger, and Abel’s Z06. The night started in their favor with a lucky bye in Round 1, but the pressure only went up from there. As the field tightened and the competition got tougher, KK Performance stayed locked in and unfazed. With precision tuning, clean hits, and unmatched focus, all 3 cars fought their way to the top yet again, splitting the $3,700 pot, and leaving no doubt that their reign in this class is no fluke.
Everyone loves a good underdog story, and Tanner Walker’s journey to the winner’s circle is one that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. After weathering some setbacks, Tanner came into this race with something to prove, and he absolutely delivered. Fueled by grit and determination, he clawed his way to the top and walked away with the victory for the first time in the Overdrive Extreme Series in his 2017 Ford Mustang GT. Talking to Tanner and his team, it’s clear this wasn’t just another race, this victory meant everything. With Josh Newman of 5 Star Tuning calling the shots, Kelly Aiken on suspension, and Allen Garvin turning wrenches, this team is locked in and more motivated than ever to keep the momentum rolling. Will they walk away from the next event undefeated? Stay tuned, because the heat is only getting started.
A massive shoutout to Gwatney Performance and Nitrous Outlet for making this unforgettable weekend possible, because events like this don’t happen without solid support behind the scenes. From start to finish, Street Car Cold War delivered nothing but raw intensity, tight competition, and unforgettable moments. If you missed it, consider this your wake-up call. Revenge of the Fallen is going down August 8-9 at Alabama International Dragway, and it’s shaping up to be even wilder. The lanes will be hot, the builds even nastier, and the energy? Straight-up electric.
