1987 Buick Grand National transbrake launch

[@WalmartBaggg]

My dads cousin has a 1987 grand national in perfect condition. Still starts

[@DisgustedGenXr]

Perfect condition. Yet you sound surprised it starts? SuS. 😂😂😂

[@CHAOSTACTICAL]

​@@DisgustedGenXr yeah weird

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

Sounds so good. That turbo V6.

[@cantstanddogs4776]

I don’t know much But I think you gotta get the beadlock rims like the top fuel drag cars have because it sounded like your tires was spinning inside the rim

[@nebulaquinn]

Is that what that noise was? I wondered.

[@rlamas67]

Inside view was badass as well!

[@nebulaquinn]

"Aye Yai Yai." 😂 I agree I would've liked to seen her not break loose. Great driving on their part. Wonder what it runs? That ole girl has some work done. ❤

[@AJsSpeedShop]

It went 9.92@137.6 off the foot brake on the pass before the HARD launch.

[@wsor4030]

This is why modern day Mustangs & Hellcats bore me. Buick's been leading the way for 35 years.

[@soulsweeper1630]

Not their recent stuff lmao

[@IceHockeyJedi]

​@@soulsweeper1630He's not talking about the recent stuff. He's saying that even after all these years, these Turbo Buicks can be built up to seriously rip down the track and put up solid numbers.

[@jovencriollo]

buick’s dead

[@14Hunnidlilsam]

You caught thatmf😭💯

[@AJsSpeedShop]

Barely…. Lol 😅

[@IronMan3582]

Love the Grand National

[@christophergaudreau9265]

Smart man backs out of it just in time

[@AJsSpeedShop]

Yeah she got squirrely quick bro.. 😅

[@DisgustedGenXr]

Check tire pressure. Stock motor is good for a 10.60. Anymore will lift a head gasket. Should be able to drive thru a 10.60

[@AJsSpeedShop]

The car went 9.90 on the pass before this one off the foot brake. This was the first time trying the transbrake.

[@nebulaquinn]

​@@AJsSpeedShopman that ole girl is gonna run a 9 isn't it? Hell maybe an 8.90?

[@tinytim7]

close one 😮‍💨🥶🔥

[@AJsSpeedShop]

You ain’t kidding… lol

[@IHATEGARRETT2659]

NASCAR in the 80s be like:

[@stanleyfowler6567]

[@zzzaccounting5924]

Ay yay yay! 😅

[@Tendo913]

Damn...

[@Buckeye11000]

Had an '86, curse myself for selling it in '07 with prices i see now.

[@undergod9586]

Wow

[@Kcity313]

What was the other car? Sounded crazy🔥

[@AJsSpeedShop]

It was an 03/04 Cobra.

[@nebulaquinn]

​@@AJsSpeedShopman I'd like to have seen that race. Any links?

[@nebulaquinn]

Gotta admit that ole Buick sounds rather well built

[@baconboss578]

isn't this pbir? Palm Beach international Raceway well use to be....

[@AJsSpeedShop]

No, this is/was Houston Raceway Park. It closed down last year though.

[@tuukkatuukka]

Poor start. I bet driver was pissed.

[@EveMotorsportChannel]

Why did it slide like that?

[@AJsSpeedShop]

Hi Eve, when it came down from the wheelie, it took weight off the back tires (unloaded the rear suspension) and the chassis got upset, so it started spinning the tires and began to fish tail. It actually had both back tires hit the front of the fenders and cut both tires down to the cords. I couldn’t make any more passes after that to adjust the suspension. Our track closed a couple months later so I never got to race it again.

[@EveMotorsportChannel]

@@AJsSpeedShopoh no 😮that stinks.. yea we had the last track in my city close a few years back so I feel your pain. No more going drag races unless I travel out of town at this point:/

[@wsor4030]
