Ryan Hargett Unveils New Drag & Drive, Twin Turbo Coyote Powered Camaro at PRI

Ryan Hargett says he’s tired of all the rules and is parking the Mustang to enter his Jerry Bickel Built Camaro in the Unlimited Drag and Drive Class.

He and his father have owned this Jerry Bickel built 70’s model Camaro which once had a 700+ cubic inch nitrous motor.

They joked about putting the twin turbo coyote motor in it years ago, and that has become a reality here at the PRI show.

Hargett said the Coyote motor has way less maintenance at Drag N Drive events and describes them basically as 5 litter, small block ford engines with four camshafts

Drag Drive Repeat Interviewed Hargett to discuss the build and unveiling. Check it out!

Sources say the trailer is 16ft long and 8.5” wide.

A Racer, A Dream, & Memories Inspirational Video ❤️: Jeff Fite from Kentucky has always wanted to race in the most prestigious bracket race, the Million Dollar Race but has never had the budget to enter. His friend since childhood died in a car accident two months ago. That friend’s wife made Jeff’s dream come true and left $2,000 in the seat of his car for him to enter. Jeff will be competing this weekend in his father’s old race car who passed and the car was completely redone in his memory ❤️.
