HUGE CONGRATS to Mike Vincent on taking the win after him & Kenny made a 1,200 mile trip to take on the Freedom Factory! For those that don’t know, before I started uploading much on here Mike dominated the spectator drags at Seekonk for many years. It’s great to see him back on the track & picking up where he left off! Stick around for some driver interviews at the end, hope you guys enjoy the video!!! 🏁
I love these types of races. It's the only type of races you can see a 91 vr4 work bran new corvettes right out of competition. Need more of these kinds of races across the country. Too many badass rides camped out in garages, sitting in yards, and being sent off to junkyards because people forgot what they were built for. Thanks for the video.
All of us seekonk locals already knew what Mike in that vr4 could do but it's still very impressive knocking out cars that cost 10x more congratulations
Mr. Rojo here, my 92 VR4 was a beast when I had it running, launching at 6k all the time until it broke. Now I have a 97 VR4 3rd and 4th gear pulls for the win. Fun cars. Great to see a VR4 kicking ass.
This was awesome and I know the vr4 and eclipse are sometimes finicky but I miss mine, I got the jump on everyone on the street. Btw- these are the best spectator races I've seen. Usually it's a bunch of cheap crappy worn-out slow cars.
This is the best series I’ve seen so far. Very competitive car. Crazy to see both Mitsubishis dominating, wasn’t expecting that. Even less from the Eclipse.
@@timsharpe3498 both Mitsubishi is ancient in technology compared to the corvette and doesn't have the extensive hundreds of millions of dollars in Mid Engine r&d that GM has acquired all through racing
@@brucevous1 MSRP on a 2021 C8 is $59,999. The much improved 2022 C8 is priced in the mid $70,000 range. The 2021 didn’t have a whole lot of power because GM was saving that for later. The AWD Japwagons are better suited to a small track and considering the cost differential it’s probably safe to assume that they could afford to drive them a lot harder to get the W.
@@timsharpe3498 there is still no justification in the latest modern racing technology To lose to an archaic 25 year+ old car and the corvette was pushed to the limits by an experienced driver very familiar with that track.
@@brucevous1 You make it sound like a factory stock comparison when the Mitsubishi’s were modded. The stock C8 would destroy either of them in a 1/4 mile or a road course. Those boys have been doing spectator drags for decades so don’t give me that bull about the Corvette driver being so experienced because it looked like he was busy watching Jeopardy during most of the starts.
Awesome video and very well done. I really enjoyed watching this. Seems like a great group of guys racing down there. I have been subscribed since last year and look forward to seeing more races.
Yeaaah! This was great! Normally I don't really care about sports or racing. But I'm all into it watching these. Thx for uploading the video @TBERG MEDIA. Smooth recording and excellent editing. As always :) Congrats to Mr. Vincent. That was some real driving😀 I wonder what did the faces of the owners of these hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cars looked like when being left off in the dust by two old... I mean... classic Mitsubishi 😁 Too bad the Eclipse didn't make it to the finale. I was really looking forward to see them race against each other. Civil War😋 Next time maybe?
@PeePee2000 not true at all. Not even a little. Been hot lapping 4g63 for years now way harder than this. Even raced an entire fuel of tank away from full to empty in 4 hours.
@PeePee2000 no doubt it started losing power but was never hot. Stock rods don’t like torque. The lower the rpm, the more torque so as soon as I floored it, the rod finally quit. I could throw rods and pistons in it and that issue is solved until the next thing breaks 😂😂 the car is 25 years old and really should be gone over and upgraded but there is no fun in that. Then you’re racing a $20k built car and not a $500 dollar car
I was wondering how Seakonk was getting McClarens, Lambos GTR's etc... cause it's not Seakonk! Awesome that you got out there tberg. I love how big and fast the FF is.
Although it’s obvious that the VR4 is modified and the C8 isn’t, most likely. The VR4 was 300 hp and 306 ft lbs stock at 3700 lbs and my C5Z06 is 405 hp and 400 ft lbs at 3180 lbs, so traction would make the difference in a drag race.
I think he’s raced 6 different cars. He’s been at it a while but has never blown up until now. If you watch interview at end he says it’s a $500 beater and it should have blown up long time ago

You guys got the boot from Seekonk for running aftermarket computers right?

Its so nice hearing commentators that actually know things about cars!! So refreshing!
Well… other than calling 3000GT a “Diamond Star” lol

What an adrenaline rush and getting to hear my car echo off the walls around the track was epic!!!
Hell yeahh, you killed it out there ! Looking forward to the next 🏁
@@TBERGMEDIA I'm gonna try to make some tweaks to the car, gotta improve those launches
Never mess with a legend 3000gt vr4

SS spectator drags laid the blueprint
You have nothing to do with the VR4 but glad you all know
The all powerful 90’s Mitsubishi 3000GT what a beast

As always thank you for taking the time and effort to film and edit this content for us. Youre an amazing filmer and we appreciate you very much.
Appreciate that, always a pleasure! 👊 love sharing this stuff with you guys
Never seen so many straw hats in one place 🤣

Love for my mitsubishi folks two of the best people out rippin it for us fans!
Huge thanks again TBERG!
My heart broke when the engine one the Eclipse went up in smoke 😭😭
It literally made my day.
Awesome jobs capturing the races! Thanks brother 👊🏼
Nice racing out there and another congrats on 2nd! Was great to meet you as well & looking forward to the next 🏁
Great to see the Seekonk guys putting on a great show. Loved watching these guys back home and on here all the time. Great channel and videos.
This is the best series I’ve seen so far. Very competitive car. Crazy to see both Mitsubishis dominating, wasn’t expecting that. Even less from the Eclipse.
Wow!!! Great races! That Final round was Epic! I'm fired up! Let's go! Vincent is the man!
Oh damn that $500 check is not gonna get him too far in getting some body panels back in that C8.
Spectacular show as usual.
Go Mike Vincent!!!!! 🏁…🏎💨……
VR4 is not only AWD it also has 4 wheel steering. Its a monster and Superior to the Vette of the same era.
Can I get a hell yea BROTHERRRR!!! Let’s go cleet&team!!!
HELL YEAHH BROTHER!!!!!
Hell yes! I'm glad you went again!
Thank you Tberg media.
Eclipse GSX was my absolute favorite!! The American Evo in disguise. If he had his white EVO he would’ve won.
That red Mits was Bad to the Bone before it Popped. THE WINNING RED MITS was Jaw Dropping.
two of best looking top level performance mitsubishis ever eclipse gsx and 3000gt vr-4 .
55 minutes! I can already tell I’m gonna like it!
Had to catch all the races haha 👊
It's funny that a new $100,000+ Corvette was getting it's clock cleaned by 2, 25 yo Mitsubishi.
The Corvette has a basic engine that doesn't have 50 pounds of boost.

Amazing runs badass cars and a helluva finish.
What the Hell is in that black Crown Vic? Thing absolutely rips.
That’s Cleetus’s stock Mercury marauder lol
@@TBERGMEDIA I know the Marauder scoots but holy shit lol
I know what is in it but...you will have to visit cleets channel to find out.
Love the mitsubishi 3000gt brother.
Definitely was some good racing, some good action hopefully near future I'll be able to get out there and have some fun
Thank you Tberg for doing this you recording is prefect.
Thanks for the content. Awesome vid :)
So cool seeing a 3000gt winning!
Yooooooo this is freaking epic bro woow
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Wow happy that last race he win freaking awesome
AWESOME car Mike Vincent!!!! i would love to have one!!!
Mitsubishi's just own Spectator drags. On dirt tracks it's the Evo, on paved the VR4 and Eclipse.
Great video!
God bless American V8.
These cars are getting serious 😳
Restarts on purpose to destroy the fragile glass cannon Eclipse. haha
RIP ECLIPSE.... but only temporarily!
Mclaren driver doesn’t have a hair on his sack. The 3000gt on the other hand was badass.
Always fun to see Mike wreck people out there!
The footage was so much better and more immersive with Tberg Vs the PPV
I can't decide what I like best. Seeing a Mitsubishi slamming into the wall or watching one blow up.
Y you so bitter 😂 go live your life
@@michaelkline2136 he's super bitter lol.
Must of got gapped by Kenny or a few Mitshubishis a few times 😆
I was wondering how Seakonk was getting McClarens, Lambos GTR's etc... cause it's not Seakonk! Awesome that you got out there tberg. I love how big and fast the FF is.
Couldn’t miss covering spectator drags at the legendary Freedom Factory for you guys!!! 🏁
Eclipse: dude I almost had you…
Wink wink nudge nudge…
These have some good ones
How are that many people all wearing straw hats?
it’s a fan boy thing I guess
lol they sell freedom factory ones there at the track
DSM doing what they do best. 💥
Bringing a jetta to a race...LOL
Fuck yes, thank you for this upload!
I was thinking the eclipse may do it. Stealth tho for the win for DSMs. Big time. Seen both these cars win before.
*3000gt
Thanks for the content
You should start them off,
AWD vs AWD. FWD vs FWD. RWD vs RWD.
Then randomly eliminate each other.
Thanks for the love
thanks for tearing it up out there ! New video will be up later this week sometime 🏁
Was there a giant sale on straw hats at the gate ? Wtf
lol sold them at the track ! 🤣
300zx´s and vr-4´s are the hardest to work on due to twin turbo v6 engines and cramped engine space.
Mitsubishi slaying
Figured dsm would break the diff or transmission 😂
Wow
I'm curious. What happened to the Johnson brothers who race them old chevys?
Wow! What did they do to that VR4?
1st rounds of elimination should be
FWD vs FWD
AWD vs AWD
RWD vs RWD...
And then mix it up.
cant wait to race on that track one day !
I like spectator drags of vehicles owned by people who built there own cars on a budget
I Love that Camaro zl1 1le
Someone take that GTR owners keys.
Soooo Coool ;-)
VR4 FTW
Be cool to see some specs on the cars! Otherwise awesome videos and interviews!
10.43 The Cadillac paint was so ugly that the wall decided to intervene.
Seems Bruce Maclaren caught wind of a car on a oval track and sent a limp mode code to the freedom factory
I see the straw hat memo made it out. Good to see my people 🤠
Congratulations Mike but that win should come muted as there has to be a 2 wheel versus 4 real class it's simply not fair
👍
what happen to the mclaren ;< i wanted to see the c8 and the mclaren duke it out
"Warning danger to manifold" moment: 38:55
Id be interested in seeing cleetus's car with nascar stickys
Pretty amazing that two mid 90s Japanese 4 seat sports coupes went head to head with modern sports cars and won.
and blow up .... LOL
@@brandonh4918 nevertheless it beat up cars far more costly and advanced in technology.
Let’s face it, Mitsubishi used to make great cars!!! They utterly suck now :(
Although it’s obvious that the VR4 is modified and the C8 isn’t, most likely. The VR4 was 300 hp and 306 ft lbs stock at 3700 lbs and my C5Z06 is 405 hp and 400 ft lbs at 3180 lbs, so traction would make the difference in a drag race.
oh gosh the guy with the Eclipse is cute as hell.
Go Chad
i knew from the get that gt350 was going to beat up that gtr lol
Like to see the Johnson's run the freedom factory
My dad grew up at this track
Where is this located
The freedom factory in Florida
how many cars/engines has Kenny Kline gone through?!?
I think he’s raced 6 different cars. He’s been at it a while but has never blown up until now. If you watch interview at end he says it’s a $500 beater and it should have blown up long time ago
Probably not nearly as many as all the concrete walls he's tried to drive through.
See VR4 leaking something at 43.55 after the win
Do front wheel drive cars even participate in this? 😂
Is that friggen Nick Swardson in the booth???
Nick Savage lol
Why isn't there something like that in Germany?🙄
