Dodge Demon Guy Gives Rides Funny
The other weekend, the MoparInsiders team traveled to K Bend, Ontario, Canada to attend an upshot put on by our friend Dave Hayes also known as BigBadAmericanMotors on YouTube and Instagram. Hayes rented the elevate strip at Grand Bend Motorplex for the weekend of May 25th and 26th and opened the event up to other Mopars to come and race for an entry fee with an unlimited number of passes. Dave also offers a limited number of thrill rides where y'all become to ride every bit a passenger in his 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon for a full quarter-mile pass. Unfortunately, the atmospheric condition didn't co-operate on Saturday, the 25th forcing a rainout for the solar day, merely Sunday saw much better conditions, combined with excellent runway prep which served upwardly some impressive times.
When nosotros arrived at the track the event had already begun, with Dave giving out thrill rides to people that had specifically come to the track just for their adventure to ride in his 840 horsepower SRT Demon. For $50.00 CAD, y'all get the hazard to ride passenger in Dave'due south Demon for an all-out pass, anybody that was getting out of the car had a huge grin on their face up and was talking most how insane it felt.
While I used to be an avid elevate racer (which is something I am getting back into with the inflow of our Challenger 1320), even I was not prepared for the 1000-forces and feeling of riding in a Demon for a laissez passer down the dragstrip. When it was my turn, I threw on my helmet, strapped into the passenger seat with a 4-betoken harness and nosotros proceeded to the burnout box. Afterwards a quick line-lock burnout to get some heat into the Nitto drag radials we rolled up to stage the car. After lighting the second bulb, Dave got the car up to 1,100 RPM on the launch control and nosotros waited for the green lite to drop. As soon as I saw light-green, Dave permit go of the restriction pedal and mashed the throttle. B-A-Thou, I instantly felt like we must have been rear-ended past a jet plane. My guts were somewhere upward in my throat and I don't recall I could have kept my anxiety on the floorboard if I tried, but it couldn't keep the smile off my face.
You can read all about the experience of being in a SRT Demon, but that is a whole different animal than actually experiencing the feeling if you are into fast cars or elevate racing at all, this is something you NEED to feel. What makes the whole thing even more impressive is that Dave's car made about 50 passes that day in roughly viii hours, only stopping for tire changes and fuel stops. The cooldown features on the SRT Demon are so impressive that by the time we were picking up our time slips after the run the machine was just about ready to go again. Of the 50 passes the car made, near 35 of them were thrill rides and I got 5 runs in the machine with our best ET existence a 10.47 at 136 MPH.
Nosotros also had the chance to talk with Dave, who is honestly probably i of the nicest guys I've e'er had the pleasure of meeting. We asked him what made him decide to offer upwards thrill rides in the SRTHAYES Demon, he told me information technology was considering he wants people to be able to feel the visceral thrill of the car. He went on to tell me, that he actually enjoys taking people for thrill rides more he does but racing the motorcar. According to Dave, his car has betwixt 300 to 400 passes on it, needing nothing other than tires, gas, and oil changes.
Hayes' goal is to get more people out to the runway to experience the cars as well as the sport through his rails rentals and thrill rides. I can tell yous, I flew all the way from Vancouver, B.C. just for this event and it was completely worth it just for the ride in the car. If you are anywhere well-nigh Grand Bend, Ontario, are into Mopars, or merely fast cars in general, yous owe it to yourself to cheque out ane of his events. He has i more than issue currently booked this twelvemonth on September 22nd at G Bend Motorplex.
