One of the nicest guys I got to meet quick to take a picture with my kid sign his hat put his arm around and showed him his car made a fan for life Reaper keep busting their asses
@Jim S you think ANY of them are driving the "daily drivers" daily? Even AZNs jeeper sleeper is a full blown race car...if its got a cage then its a race car
James keep living a drag racers dream. Keep up the hard work. Racing isn’t cheap and you work your ass off to go racing. Good luck with any future endeavors
Seems to me, that, if everyone is going to go out and buy these factory "race" cars, vette's, hellcat's, AWD something or another, and call them daily's, then I see nothing wrong with the Nova. The steering on an old Deuce is terrible. I'd change it, too! The new cars are plastic or fiberglass! All steel, vin tag, full interior, pump gas, mufflers, DOT tires and heavy, sounds street to me. I think the problem is Reaper rubs people the wrong way (get over it) and the Nova is built, not bought. If ya scared, say you're scared!
I didn't think that "daily driver" meant "off the showroom floor". I've seen many guys with tons of modifications on their daily drivers compete. You should be able to race.
After watching all the different "outlaw" shows for years it seems to me everyone got to the place I first imagined--track racing with all the high-dollar parts, rigs, and tools/equipment. Every reality show takes this same pattern. The first couple seasons it seemed like real street racing where guys scrape together whatever their real job income and wallets allowed. Heck, they even had open trailers. Took me back to my racing days and quickly became my favorite show. As with most reality shows, the participants get paid handsomely with great increases each year/show/season plus add in some sponsorship and quickly these folks become the people they dissed at the offset--professional track racers. I give them credit for either having a plan to catapult their otherwise ordinary race careers into orbit or simple dumb luck for being in the right place at the right time. I do have respect for each person who appears to turn their own wrenches which most do. And, given the same opportunity I probably would do what JJ is doing--keep it humble (to a point) rather than progressing from real street to full-on pro-mods with no radiators, lights, glass... If I wrote the rules it would be simple. Drive this 10 miles at dark to a true street destination--or even a track--then we race once all arrive. Racing starts 45 minutes after the first car sets out on the 10-mile trek. I don't care what you have. Run nitro if you can survive 10 miles on it. NPK is interesting to a point but you could see early on what vehicles would do well. Why are they doing instant green? Why are they not posting times? Too much like track racing if so? Well, they are track racing and I still enjoy it. Heck, glue them down--it is still competition. They have what NHRA doesn't--a soul; at least until the cars get dotted with all the sponsor decals. Evolution... Stay vigilant, Reaper!
Sad I thought it was about two cars/trucks lining up to see who was faster, seams to me some of the 405 just like drama when it comes to Reaper, fuck:em James just show up with what you got and have a good time
Title, legal registration, and everyone drive aleast 15 minutes together to the race, (if it can't make it 15 minutes without overheating it's done.) No trailers period.. That should be enough rules
@@jessem.rodriguez5507 ...love that word man...absatively posolutely! James is an old school badass...nuthin' wrong with that...some people call it bitchin', I call it standing your ground...I usta go after motherfuckers with hands and feet, but now I practice my 2nd amendment right...some fuckers don't like that either...I got in my worst fight in a grocery picking up some dinner...I think that if you can go there, you should be armed there...most of those guys with a shitton of money in their rides carry protection...it's a fun world inside of our great country, but some asshats always have to fuck it up for the rest of us...sorry about the rant...ďã wööķïēē...be safe,remain vigilant, and carry a weapon...y'all be careful, but don't forget to have fun...
NMRA had a class that did a 30 mile drive, then hotlapped 3 passes for qualifications. Then there is an underground group on TH-cam (I forget the channel) that does similar. They all meet in one location, then drive to the 1st location. Winners drive to the 2nd and so on. Each round is in a new location until its complete, but shows the True Street of these cars. Pretty neat to watch.
If this is a racecar, then I guess my mustang is considered a promod 🤣🤣 I can guarantee I got more money into my car than you and I consider mine to be daily driver status (I don't daily it regularly but I do when my daily breaks). I'm honestly impressed with what it runs considering how little is done. Thanks for posting this showing the car because the show made it out like it was a full blown racecar when it's so clearly not.
your a good dude bro I'm kinda in the same predicament I used to be a junkie still am it never leaves anyway the hardcore blockheads just look down thier nose while I keep smoking thier asses it kills em you keep on keepin on
I dont see anything wrong with it.. looks like a fast street rod... I drove my 73 Camaro everywhere back in the late 90s .. Ran 10:90s on Spray .. drove it to the track then drove it home.. it ain’t no worse than all their jacked up turboed LS tuner cars.... Race it and win bro... keep it real Reaper... Also .. runnin 9:90s ... at least put a 4 point in that thing!!! Be safe bro!!
Looks like a grocery getter to me. I like the triangular linked 4 bar for dirt race cars, but i can make leafs faster on a burnt up dry slick track. Looking forward to seeing some of your street racing vids. Keep bustin their ass' !!!!!!
You're the one of BEST racers out there, on the street and the track and your one of my favorite all time racers, keep your head up and keep doing what you are doing cause you are a BOSS 🚘 🇺🇲 👍 💯
Possibly their scared of the reaper speaking his mind and laying it how it is, clearly you don't need a group around you to back your words, much respect to you my brother 🤝☝️👍
The exact same reason why NHRA drag racing sucks. To many fucking rules. Who ever thought up bracket racing wasn't a racer!!! The point of drag racing is to go out and be faster than what you were the last pass.
Mr. Reap- you are the new ‘ intimidater’ both physically and on the track!! Let them be scared! Wear that name proudly!! You deserve it even more-every time your not invited!! They just yellow! Justafan
Come out to MoKan August 1.You can bring a small tire car 2000 to win ,and they're having a big tire shootout that is 600 to win. Look it up. I would love to see you there.
Haters will HATE Reaper! I've been following the show (all shows) of Street Outlaws and from the beginning it seemed "they've" had it out for you for what ever reason! Drive ON DUDE and Stay REAL!
Reaper is the whole reason i watched street outlaws honestly he builds great cars. And i have seen him race with a hurt car and willing to blow up the motor to race . simple real racer thank you for being you reaper
I’m sorry brotha, you are 1 of the nicest guys that races. I’ve watched you help and give parts to your competitors just to have a fair race. WTF! I thought daily driver is a car that has insurance, registration and you can drive it on the streets. Hope to see you in some kind of race your cars kick ass 🤙🏼
They're just jealous that you can beat their ass with any damn thing u put yourself into drive. It's called them being jealous. Keep your shit up reaper I love every damn second of it!
If the scope of interpretation regarding rules is too big, they likely get corruptible. I think 100% waterproofness and a minimum set of rules should be the goal. If someone is seen as too different, some would say too toxic for their group and their games and playground, they maybe get salty get and start tweaking at the rules, but than hiding behind that or making anything intransparent seems really childish to me. I´m a fan of all the scope shown in all derivatives of street outlaws and you are 100% a part of what i like to watch and think should stay in the show, everybody chooses an own path when progressing, thats interesting to me.
Reaper, what are your thoughts of the Memphis crew? Does his crew need your mechanical talent? Anthony seems like his hands are full. Have you trademarked your name "Reaper" so 405 can't profit off your name and image? Just gave 👍and subbed.
You even know though too, in street racing, now, there are rules. And those rules apply to those that they want it to apply to and they'll overlook the rest.
My opinion is if it's an all steel car and you can fill it up with gas and drive it on the street till it runs out of gas and not have any problems with overheating or breaking then it is a street car
Amen, brother! If you didn’t bring enough, tuff shit. Nothing serious at all about your ride, but that’s a pretty impressive number you are putting up!
I agree with you james, they change the at will. How many hoops did larry larson jump through until they ultimately banned his truck yet they let kayla run that stretched out narrowed mustang. Larry goes and builds a caddie with factory length panels, he struggled all last year but in the off season he dialed in that car and is now flying. What do they do now, they allow stretched out heavily altered cars to compete. They held out mills golden kong for who knows what reason, so he builds a purpose built npk car and then they do the exact same thing to him as was done to larson. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to compete. If they don't stop with the rule changes, this will be eventually what kills npk. Have a good day sir and keep the chin up.
Reaper.......Hi from Australia.....and good on you for telling it like it is......power to you bro!!! I used to be a fan of watching the 405 on tv do their thing but it just turned into a look at me....look at me.....are you still looking at me?..show......ughhh!!! Keep doing what you're doing and being independent of those tv stars...you'll win in the end!!
Thats a good looking second gen Chevy 2/ Nova, looks like a respectable weekend cruiser and you should be proud of it, forget about the haters out there
To me a "daily driver" is a car or truck that can be plated and driven, i know lots of guys that stiffen the frame so they dont have to re paint their car every 6 weeks lol. Just be you bubba! Much love from St Louis!
Reaper 2020 "Dave & Mark are tighter than two fat girls in a Fiat, they is probably bumping ugly's er something" That shit had me rolling, fucking belly laughs!
Sounds like they want your name on the info to draw a crowd but don't want you to show. We have the same problem here in SC. The 864 street cars are supposed to be daily drivers . I have someone with a mustang convertible that drives it daily and will run consistent 4.50's full interior all steel but has some chassis upgrades and they won't let him in. Totally BS.
If this is for the daily driver race, it's completely against the spirit of the race. All the other cars are literally driven every day. If this is for a street car race, then there shouldn't be an issue. But if you're always falling foul of the rules, then at some point you have to start questioning who's to blame. Like the old saying "If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes the entire day, you're the asshole."
Looks like a street car to me. I would get in touch with racemaster of the races and they say your car is good to go forget what everyone else says and do what Reeper does on the track and tell them go talk to the person that said you were good to go. Keep the videos coming.
Wow.... thats twice im gonna be the first to comment on your video posts!!! ‘Guess sitting at home and watching videos, on forced resting after getting vasectomy Yesterday has its perks LOL!! You tell em James!! You’ll be the only one w/out bruised knees!!! 😂 These guy’s like to get down and suck, leave it all to them and keep doin what you do brother! No need to get all pumped up, pissed off and be havin’ a bad day just because of this..... Love the car too!!!
Daddy Dave’s truck doesn’t look like a street car!! That shits a drag truck and they don’t give him 🦀!!!!! They hating on reaper cuz they know they will get their doors blown off!!! Keep up the good work reaper f**k what they say about you!!!
Somthing has to be wrong if they all teamed up on you saying you couldn’t race. I don’t think their scared but maybe they just don’t like you. They should say that then instead of beating around the bush making things up no allowing u to race. Idk
In my opinion: whats in the cars setup is totally irrelevant... a daily driver/streetcar is any car that is sort of streetlegal, and gets driven on the street a lot, not not just to and from the racetrack. Your car is a monster, but I can still agree its pretty much a streetcar, calling it a daily driver might be pushing it tho.. It would take a lot of paperwork and sweettalking inspection agents to get that car accepted for roaduse in Europe, but as far as I can tell most of it would pass inspection with some tweaks here and there. (and considering our vehicle laws thats a miracle)
Daily driver covers a pretty broad span of vehicles Mr Goad. Yours included. With logic like that a chevy truck with a big blower and nitrous is disqualified. Its simple. If you bring this car you will dominate, and thats no fun for anybody but YOU! cool ass car bro
Reaper stay the road you were on, they can talk all the bullshit they want but you know the truth and that’s the only thing that matters! I’ve been there I’ve had that shit done to me and I nobody, take care of your family live a good life!
If it's a daily driver then why the fuck would they make a big deal out of a daily drive!!! If you drive it daily them it shouldn't matter what's under the hood!!!! Good luck this season Reaper!!!!🍻✌
Well Sh!t I guess when I was out running Monza here in Shreveport in my 1984 Mustang GT with a Boss engine, stiffend up frame, the almost same suspension as you have there, but older, this was back in 1987ish I guess I was cheating so Monza and his 2+2 is off the hook now... Oh and it was my daily driver and I drove it to the track weekly LMAO
I'm a fan bro. Now I will say I'm a Big Chief fan to the day I die lol. I have watched street outlaws more than anyone. I have them all recorded and my wife hates it lol. But I saw the daily driver race many times and they was fine with your car until you done your burn out. Everyone on the starting line was like "o no" they knew then you had a bad ass car and done what they done. I think you should have been able to run it.
Keep your head up!!!!! All those guys seem like they are nothing but a bunch of 40 yr old babies.....I think you should save your time & cash and tell those guys to kiss your ASS! Thanks for sharing all the info you share. Be safe and keep the Shiny side up ⬆️.
I love your videos and I got your back buddy on just about everything but that is probably more of a race car than a street car but I have not seen what the other cars look like.
Bro, we all know you’re getting screwed around. Maybe because you buck the system a little and speak your mind and have a backbone!! Anyways, keep up the vids and they can’t keep you out forever!!
What's bullshit is people like Daddy Dave passed tech without a second glance, even with the giant air to water in the back, when the rules say no air to water but our trucks hood got popped on the line after the burnout to check it, after it'd already been teched. They also checked our tires 3 times. We made a new cold side to replace the intercooler and abide by the rules and they still gave us shit. Daddy Dave's intercooler was ice cold every run, because of course if they let you keep it you're gonna use the fucking thing. We were running a truck with a single turbo LS, bench seat, stock suspension and hancook tires against shit that shouldn't have been legal. Either way it was fun, made it to round 3, truck had only made one previous pass before OA6 and we will be back next year with 4 cars hopefully. But they gotta adjust the classes or something. I think it'd be more fun to just do H Town Throwdown twice a year than outlaw tho
Reaper if you want to get that Muastang II front end out of your garage I will drive out from Colorado and take it off your hands to put in my 66 4-door😁😁😁
It’s a total street car bro!!!! Hands down. Beautiful ride tho, but.... in my opinion they are afraid of you. I’ve followed your racing an know you can make anything run fast. You should name it Haters Nightmare 😂. Keep your head up an stay in it. You got this!!!!
You weren’t really my favorite person on the show but forreal that car is dope. I don’t see why anyone would be afraid. Sounds like factory stock weight with you in it. Lol
That car is no different then going to GM or ford and buying a new camaro or mustang, why they pick on reaper ALL the time is beyond me. Reaper you have my support all the way!
They better inspect every other car under the same guidelines as the ones they're holding you to. Otherwise it's politics and discrimination. There's no place for either one in drag racing!
One of the nicest guys I got to meet quick to take a picture with my kid sign his hat put his arm around and showed him his car made a fan for life Reaper keep busting their asses
Reaper looks like the kind of guy that would help u in a heartbeat
What kind of rear end is on Dave’s S10 I bet he’s running a 4 link with anti roll
It sucks being the victim of someone else's petty little games. Been there. It sucks.
Amen to that.
Looks like a badass driver. Don’t you almost HAVE to mini tub a 66-67 Chevy 2/nova to fit a tire wider than 7”??
Looks like a street car to me. A pretty fast one, But not a “full race car” by any means.
Yeah and then chief shows up with Caddy Jack and THATS a street car? Weve ALL seen it run lol
@Jim S you think ANY of them are driving the "daily drivers" daily? Even AZNs jeeper sleeper is a full blown race car...if its got a cage then its a race car
Reaper shows up in a stock-off the lot Yugo and hes got a racecar 🤣
James keep living a drag racers dream. Keep up the hard work. Racing isn’t cheap and you work your ass off to go racing. Good luck with any future endeavors
Reaper... you make me laugh brother. I luv your unvarnished honesty and dedication to telling it like it is. Keep em coming!
Seems to me, that, if everyone is going to go out and buy these factory "race" cars, vette's, hellcat's, AWD something or another, and call them daily's, then I see nothing wrong with the Nova. The steering on an old Deuce is terrible. I'd change it, too! The new cars are plastic or fiberglass! All steel, vin tag, full interior, pump gas, mufflers, DOT tires and heavy, sounds street to me. I think the problem is Reaper rubs people the wrong way (get over it) and the Nova is built, not bought. If ya scared, say you're scared!
He calls them out on the bullshit
I didn't think that "daily driver" meant "off the showroom floor". I've seen many guys with tons of modifications on their daily drivers compete. You should be able to race.
I doubt I would even mess with the car, some of those guy's are going to cry and complain no matter what you do man
Oh yes as long as it benefits them

Just show up, get in the tower, call someone out, see what happens. That's a daily, it might hook harder on the leafs! Just saying...
Well.....no one can accuse Reaper for not giving an opinion at least.....I like the guy
Rocky Mountain race week during the drag week dates in sept? Have you thought about going?
I don't get it why you were singled out and uninvited. Looks like a daily driver to me.
Do some research on james goad aka reaper
I dont see anything wrong with it.. looks like a fast street rod... I drove my 73 Camaro everywhere back in the late 90s ..

I agree with you. Same thing as having cal-tracs etc. definitely a street set up.
I got mad respect for u dude the show didnt change you and youre always on point
How are the other cars different? They are all modified also correct?
Possibly their scared of the reaper speaking his mind and laying it how it is, clearly you don't need a group around you to back your words, much respect to you my brother 🤝☝️👍
I’ve seen guys take low 8 cars and run them as a daily driver class lol. That’s a nice daily driver as far as I’m concerned
Reaper, what brand is the switch panel in the that car?
The exact same reason why NHRA drag racing sucks. To many fucking rules. Who ever thought up bracket racing wasn't a racer!!! The point of drag racing is to go out and be faster than what you were the last pass.
Does it have a Radio....???
Damn brotha it sucks your not gonna be racing I enjoy seeing your cars kicking ass
Mr. Reap- you are the new ‘ intimidater’ both physically and on the track!! Let them be scared! Wear that name proudly!! You deserve it even more-every time your not invited!! They just yellow! Justafan

All the bs you go threw with all these guys . Make your own race ..or series . You got this brotha keep up the good work
Mr reaper. Could i get a website to your vape stores. Ours in hawaii sucks.
Reaper is the whole reason i watched street outlaws honestly he builds great cars. And i have seen him race with a hurt car and willing to blow up the motor to race . simple real racer thank you for being you reaper

That is all I know is line-up for the 1/4 and run. No checking out each other's car.
If the scope of interpretation regarding rules is too big, they likely get corruptible.

I have someone with a mustang convertible that drives it daily and will run consistent 4.50's full interior all steel but has some chassis upgrades and they won't let him in. Totally BS.
If this is for the daily driver race, it's completely against the spirit of the race. All the other cars are literally driven every day. If this is for a street car race, then there shouldn't be an issue. But if you're always falling foul of the rules, then at some point you have to start questioning who's to blame. Like the old saying "If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes the entire day, you're the asshole."
I agree with some of the other people. Start your race.... 5 rules. Big tire and small tire. Then have those to race to see who has the fastest car.
Actually the Same Rules for everyone sounds kinda legit to me
You better be there this is the one time the 405 fans get to see our local racers race
Looks like a street car to me. I would get in touch with racemaster of the races and they say your car is good to go forget what everyone else says and do what Reeper does on the track and tell them go talk to the person that said you were good to go. Keep the videos coming.
Wow.... thats twice im gonna be the first to comment on your video posts!!! ‘Guess sitting at home and watching videos, on forced resting after getting vasectomy Yesterday has its perks LOL!! You tell em James!! You’ll be the only one w/out bruised knees!!! 😂 These guy’s like to get down and suck, leave it all to them and keep doin what you do brother! No need to get all pumped up, pissed off and be havin’ a bad day just because of this..... Love the car too!!!
Daddy Dave’s truck doesn’t look like a street car!! That shits a drag truck and they don’t give him 🦀!!!!! They hating on reaper cuz they know they will get their doors blown off!!! Keep up the good work reaper f**k what they say about you!!!
Somthing has to be wrong if they all teamed up on you saying you couldn’t race. I don’t think their scared but maybe they just don’t like you. They should say that then instead of beating around the bush making things up no allowing u to race. Idk
In my opinion: whats in the cars setup is totally irrelevant... a daily driver/streetcar is any car that is sort of streetlegal, and gets driven on the street a lot, not not just to and from the racetrack.
Your car is a monster, but I can still agree its pretty much a streetcar, calling it a daily driver might be pushing it tho..
It would take a lot of paperwork and sweettalking inspection agents to get that car accepted for roaduse in Europe, but as far as I can tell most of it would pass inspection with some tweaks here and there. (and considering our vehicle laws thats a miracle)
But it doesn't have to pass in Europe. It only has to pass in the place you want to drive it.
Daily driver covers a pretty broad span of vehicles Mr Goad. Yours included. With logic like that a chevy truck with a big blower and nitrous is disqualified. Its simple. If you bring this car you will dominate, and thats no fun for anybody but YOU! cool ass car bro
I think they’re more concerned about you being a crash then how fast you are.
Looks pretty mild to me. I have a similar rear suspension in my one car and I never raced anyone. It’s just cause I like it
Reaper stay the road you were on, they can talk all the bullshit they want but you know the truth and that’s the only thing that matters! I’ve been there I’ve had that shit done to me and I nobody, take care of your family live a good life!
If it's a daily driver then why the fuck would they make a big deal out of a daily drive!!! If you drive it daily them it shouldn't matter what's under the hood!!!! Good luck this season Reaper!!!!🍻✌
Well Sh!t I guess when I was out running Monza here in Shreveport in my 1984 Mustang GT with a Boss engine, stiffend up frame, the almost same suspension as you have there, but older, this was back in 1987ish I guess I was cheating so Monza and his 2+2 is off the hook now... Oh and it was my daily driver and I drove it to the track weekly LMAO
I'm a fan bro. Now I will say I'm a Big Chief fan to the day I die lol. I have watched street outlaws more than anyone. I have them all recorded and my wife hates it lol. But I saw the daily driver race many times and they was fine with your car until you done your burn out. Everyone on the starting line was like "o no" they knew then you had a bad ass car and done what they done. I think you should have been able to run it.
You got more heart than all of them put together. You race cause you love it. They won't show up unless they think they can make a fortune.
Keep your head up!!!!! All those guys seem like they are nothing but a bunch of 40 yr old babies.....I think you should save your time & cash and tell those guys to kiss your ASS! Thanks for sharing all the info you share. Be safe and keep the Shiny side up ⬆️.
I love your videos and I got your back buddy on just about everything but that is probably more of a race car than a street car but I have not seen what the other cars look like.
Bro, we all know you’re getting screwed around. Maybe because you buck the system a little and speak your mind and have a backbone!! Anyways, keep up the vids and they can’t keep you out forever!!
Reaper isn't respected by his peers.hes really a good person.big ups reaper.
What's bullshit is people like Daddy Dave passed tech without a second glance, even with the giant air to water in the back, when the rules say no air to water but our trucks hood got popped on the line after the burnout to check it, after it'd already been teched. They also checked our tires 3 times. We made a new cold side to replace the intercooler and abide by the rules and they still gave us shit. Daddy Dave's intercooler was ice cold every run, because of course if they let you keep it you're gonna use the fucking thing. We were running a truck with a single turbo LS, bench seat, stock suspension and hancook tires against shit that shouldn't have been legal. Either way it was fun, made it to round 3, truck had only made one previous pass before OA6 and we will be back next year with 4 cars hopefully. But they gotta adjust the classes or something. I think it'd be more fun to just do H Town Throwdown twice a year than outlaw tho
Reaper if you want to get that Muastang II front end out of your garage I will drive out from Colorado and take it off your hands to put in my 66 4-door😁😁😁
It’s a total street car bro!!!! Hands down. Beautiful ride tho, but.... in my opinion they are afraid of you. I’ve followed your racing an know you can make anything run fast. You should name it Haters Nightmare 😂. Keep your head up an stay in it. You got this!!!!
Everyone loves to hate on the dude that did shit they didn’t thought about
You weren’t really my favorite person on the show but forreal that car is dope. I don’t see why anyone would be afraid. Sounds like factory stock weight with you in it. Lol
Street racing is street racing! Who can bring the baddest setup/car! That's my opinion!
That's a really nice car man. Seems like a real street car to me....
That car is no different then going to GM or ford and buying a new camaro or mustang, why they pick on reaper ALL the time is beyond me. Reaper you have my support all the way!
We miss you man, you are the realist person out there!
They better inspect every other car under the same guidelines as the ones they're holding you to. Otherwise it's politics and discrimination. There's no place for either one in drag racing!
The custom frame work ,scares them it might hook
