In Season 1 Episode 1 of Grudge Race TV we have Tom Bailey and his "Your Mom" 1969 Camaro up against Ryan Martin and his 2016 Camaro for a battle to see who is the fastest street legal Camaro in America.
Wow Ryan... you know you have the Race Car Gods blessing you. Had me scared there for a bit. That car is actually faster, the driver screwed himself on the 2nd and 3rd race. But a race is a race and that young man is where you shine! Been a fan even way before the 405.
It is interesting. Tom's car is obviously a ProMod but has all the gear to drive a thousand miles on the street. Ryan has a more "stock" body, but is setup for racing only (I think). Lots of ways to get it done, and I'm here for all of it!

Ryan doesn't have time to and as much money as he makes npk racing he doesn't have time I'm sure if he had time he'd like to do some drag and drives definitely a old video with both of them running turbos though
@@Ivegotnochoicesilencemyvoice he can just the same as Tom neither car is even remotely a street car though Tom should have won also having a longer wheel base and a lighter vehicle but still got his ass handed to him
Both cars are amazing. Now for Martin to really prove his Camaro is a "street car" is to participate in a drag & drive event such as Drag Week or Sick Week.
We know Ryan Martin learned from Big Chief, if you let either one of those guys make a pass they will only be faster and straighter with every pass . It's a tuners game these days. It took Ryan Martin years of getting beat by Daddy Dave and Big Chief to be where he is today. Hats off to him and his team because he's that guy now and has been for the last 3 years running.
Truth be known Ryan built a few of the Street Outlaw gang's engines. If you go back and watch the first few SO videos you'll see and hear the guys talking about Ryan Martin and inviting him to join the 405 as a team member. Also you will see and hear the guys invite Jeff Lutz into the 405.
I'm a fan of ryan but they both made a clean run he dont stand a chance it would be better to see tom is his orange Camaro the cars are more alike as far as looks
@@marcusshivers5231 it dosen't matter toms car makes 5000hp and is all carbon meaning it doesn't weigh close to the fireball not to mention he cant drive his car a mile without overheating
It was a very good race but if I was Ryan I would of did a rerun because it would of been nice to see who really would of won with both cars on full power . It was also very nice of Tom to have his son there. God bless and congratulations. Both are excellent cars.
Dude, it's a TV show, he might have thrown the race knowing he couldn't run with Martin, and used an excuse rather than look bad forever on video. Just a guess because his car couldn't handle the power on his side of the track to run with Martin, once Martin had his data from the first race and turned his car up. , He knew that Martin would add more power for the final race, and his car was maxed out by the second race. I thought it a surprising result because the loser had a bigger engine and longer wheelbase, but it is tough to beat a track car only with a "dual purpose" car
News Fact for Grudge Race TV fans. Tom would have advanced to the 2nd round, but thanks to a three race setup, Ryan Martin did what he always does. Improve his time by reading the track conditions and knowing the in's and out's of street racing. This was vintage Martin.
Even the commentator sounded surprised and then nobody should ever be surprised anymore with Ryan Martin winning!! The sad part is his NPK car is faster than the fireball Camaro
As an Aussie I find this hilarious… Neither of these cars are STREET cars 🤣 Under Australian rules, one’s a promod and Ryan’s is classified as a doorslammer!!! Good fun video though 👍🏾
well idk if you realize this isn't in Australia jackass it's in the America where we have freedom and Tom's car is actually street legal here and does get drove regularly Ryan in the other hand has a full blown race car that might have a tag but dont have a drivetrain to allow him to run his longer then a few minutes
I'd like to see cars like Ron Rhodes 68 Camaro do this. If yall haven't heard of it. It's a leaf spring radial car with a small block running very low 4s in the 1/8 mile.
@No thanks You don't get your car impounded for "driving by"...tbh, you won't always get your car impounded for "STREET RACING"...cops don't make laws, they enforce them...if the law says it's a street car, it's a street car...there are many states where damn near everything is legal as long as it is tagged and insured...
Some y'all may have realized it. This is a modern day version of PINKS. Except they're not racing for the other person's car. It's all pride and bragging rights here. Still a good show though. 💯
Of all the tracks this could have been at they go to Colorado at Bandamere where there's no air...I would like to see a redoo of this race now with Ryan having that Proline Hemi with that big 140+ Procharger but Bailey has that Steave Morris SMX now to it would be awsome to see.
@dapickle6128 yea thats the question huh cause Bailey has been having the worse time lining that car back out since it been redone since the fire..Ryan would have to be a couple tenths faster than Bailey cause his car is so long but Ryan 60fts so hard and so fast with that Procharger I'm not so sure Bailey could make it up but you never know thats why I would love to see it.
Ryans car couldn't go 50 miles on the street without having issues but Tom's car has gone thousands of miles on the street. Both guys are wealthy with huge egos
I'm thinking 2016 because Tom Bailey had the 2015 Drag Week sticker on the windshield and no 2016 and beyond and he does now and Aiden was probably a little over 12 years old give or take and he is 19 or 20 now because he wrecked his drag car on Race Week a couple years ago and he was 18 then so I'm guessing that this race took place in 2016 and not to mention Ryan had the fireball with the 481x and twin turbos and he's been out of that car for some time now even though he still has it and it has a Procharged Hemi in it now just like his 69 Camaro small tire car that he took to Australia and his Grey car that he races in NPK they all have similar combo's in it and I'm sure Ryan put the MH6 HEMI in the Fireball now and he sold the MH5 Hemi to Murder Nova and Proline just came out with the MH7 Hemi so I'm sure that is what's going in the Grey car and his back up MH6 probably went in the small tire 69 Camaro and Murder Nova is also getting an MH7 Hemi for his NPK car and he'll probably upgrade the OG small tire car to the MH6 or MH7 pretty soon or he might stick with the MH5 Hemi in the OG I'm not sure yet but only time will tell
@@keefespencer1173 Thanks for the reply,I'd love to see a current race between Tom and Ryan in the Grey Fireball,I still think there comparing apples to oranges in a way....
It may be factory length, but it's tube chasis, motor is not in factory positioned, fiberglass front clip, weighs under 3,000 lbs, so it's still a pro mod
@Da Pickle it's a full blown pro and weighs 300+lbs light than ryan. Even then idk if it would "destroy" him. Present day, Ryan's been 3.60s with his Grey car
How long ago was this recorded? Aiden is like 20 now. I think he was 18 when he rolled the station wagon a few years ago. 1st I have ever heard of the show. ah, it was in 2016.
This video has got to be really old. Tom is using a Steve Morris SMX engine for several years now. Tom had a. Steve Morris 615 big block chevy in his Camaro at this time
it's hard to mention shit when your calling your car a street car but cry about getting burned down Ryan cant run more then a few minutes before overheating tom can run all day and not get hot because it's set up to run on the street I like Ryan he is my favorite from the show but clean passes Ryan doesn't stand a chance your talking about a car that makes more power and a huge weight difference
