Orange Krush gets new life once again – Outlaw Radial and a Screw Blower

Well it has been nine months since we last featured what the duo of Brewer and McNew were up to. They have been around the game for a long time on the radial scene and most recently had been working on constructing a twin Procharger powered Mustang. The Mustang is still around but the memories of the Prochargers are behind them. Orange Krush raced at the ORTC race in February and didn’t qualify well so I guess the guys decided it was time to step up to the big leagues with the likes of David Wolfe.

Youtube once again has enlightened us with a totally wicked drag radial creation.

The radial tire world will never be the same in my eyes once this creation hits the track. Something that was often joked about has now become a reality as Brewer and McNew have dropped a 526 cubic inch powerplant down in the front of the Mustang. Well you may be saying….526? That’s not all that different. It’s the motivation that sits atop that 526 that sets them apart from everyone else. A massive blower has founds its way into the drag radial class and if the trend follows as it did in Outlaw 10.5 things may get ugly – ugly for the competition that is. Screw blowers have turned the racing world upside down with the massive amounts of power that they are capable of making and if they figure out how to control the initial hit to the Mickey Thompson tires it is hard to tell what it will run.

I would say that the ORTC race in a few weeks is going to be one of much hype on its own but when Orange Krush rolls through the water all eyes will be focused on that blower. Maybe we could have a battle of orange Mustangs in the finals against reigning champion David Wolfe and the new combination of Brady McNew. Stay tuned for all the details!
