Didnt you notice all the metal on the inside around the premiere of the doors and the dash ? The doors arent even caved in on it

#EXPERIENCEDdRIVER! Lol

He didn't kill it. It was still running perfect

Stingya i think it also helped the rest of the guys for the most part seamed to egnore the lumina plus he was able to out manuver them as well

Luminas are hard in the nose stock let alone welded up for a mod show

that and they wont get hot as fast as all the bigger cars

@@kolbyboward7451 actually they do. And once you get a 3.1 hot they blow head gaskets and warp heads.

19:27

awsome bro

3.1l with a old carb bolted to it and straight exhaust

to bad your lumina is rusted reall bad in the back

we call that a bitch brace

@@NewGunzSociety I like my vertebrae where they are, thanks.

More like it looked like he was wearing no seatbelt

That is a 3100 not the same as a 3.1

n I have over $1500 in my car. ran it for the last 5 years. how many derby's have u been in Steve?

reggie lantagne going into my 5th year. You gotta start somewhere. I ran 10 this past summer. All around Ohio and cleaned house in Kentucky. My family ran for years so like you I've been in the stands pretty much my whole life. Idk what you run but around here a W body is king. Maybe it's just the fact of this guy beating a bunch of decent built Vic's. Yeah we're there to put on a show. But going out to trash a car you have good money in is pointless. Unless your winning something like bash for cash, blizzard bash extra:

I think he has a lap belt.

Yea but we're is his neck brace

+Nathan Hearld we're = we are

+Ordinary Mo I'm sure he meant to say were and his phone changed it like mine just tried to do when I typed this.

not once do you see him unclip a belt of any sort

Krystal Nelson gotta catch him first

Kinda looks like it.

That's an invention not a lot of people talk about, get a good 2g carb and a universal plate adapter and all you gotta do is cut a hole in the intake and hotwire the rest :)

no its a carbed 3100

yea I was gonna say those had the 3.1. he'll of a motor. mine had 315,000 on it when I traded it in. still ran great didn't leak or use.oil.

+Jordan Scheurer we have a 97 lumina with the 3.1 motor. It was my grandpa's car. He used it and babied it for about ten years. Then he gave it to my mom. The car is in great condition and runs fine to this day. The only thing that went majorly wrong was the altinator. Fixed that and the car is like new.

+Michael Kuzma dutton glad to hear it I'm hoping it runs many more years

hairmonster12 3.1

Tim Leece yes w-body are great compact cars but check out we crash before you build it great build tips in there

Bob Thorp Not in todays world of derbying.

New cars are stronger in the front.

+I RISE ABOVE 3100

all hail the v six chevy

Just a little six

3.1L v6 good engines shocked the transmission held up tho

And no seatbelt

Carnage Racing No eye protection no long sleeved shirt and no seat belt sounds safe lol

Curtis Mishler He is wearing a seat belt. It the ones that go straight across like when you ride in a older car.

Travis Johnson at 14:40 when he reached though the windshield he isn't wearing one

That would be an immediate black flag from me the moment I noticed it. The people in the stands see one person get severely injured, they'll never come back.

I wasn't familier with the luminas but a buddy of mine told me how the manifold is on them it makes sense now that was a nice run I run derbys my self but just 4 cyl classes never have time for big stuff

lol pay attention at derbies more dude. I run compact weld class and have only seen one guy run EFI everyone elses cares are carbed 3.1s and 3100s

Most likely not running an alternator

I'm a dumb dumb lol... I'm not a demo derby driver... I've helped build a few many years ago... but they were beginner class derby cars... thanks for the response... that makes alot of sense now... I didn't understand it at first lol... we stripped everything to barebones... so more juice made 0 sense to me...

@@PhelpsPlace8808 so that juice is simply to try to kick the car over a few more times to get the engine started...???

The Rebelious One 3.1 flat top

lap belt...

Caleb Inabinet oh ok but not the regular seatbelt? just seems sort of dangerous

canadiancatgreen it's probably an older car

+Caleb Inabinet being a Lumina it would be 1989 at the oldest? we had a 1989 Mazda 323 that had the other style seatbelts? perhaps it could of been a option? seems odd

canadiancatgreen most guys like lap belts

Those aren't batteries those are after market energy cells big difference and the smart way to go

Actually those are battery’s ... yellow and red top optima and one for starter other to run accessories linked together to charge both threw the alternator

@@jeffcarlson1025 stand by my statement Optima dosen't consider their products as batteries it's a step above they call them energy cells and the overall performance is way beyond a typical battery and for the most part running an alternator on a derby car is a wishful idea you have to be prepared for the belts to fail from jump street and that's where proper energy comes into play most winning teams don't rely on a alternator at all

Scooter909 Aj because he piped it at the cross over I would asume

I know it’s a 1 year old comment, but I don’t want anyone to get misled. V6’s DO have 2 manifold thus would have two headers, that’s why My team only puts headers on our Camry 4’s

Ethan Dorie chrysler imperial

Which are outlawed in most derbies. Old Chryslers and mid 70's chevy wagons and caprice are good. Whetever you run if you dont have a SB Chevy in it you might as well not even try.

HEATRACER24 hhhhhvyh

+geoffrey walker There isn't fiberglass on a lumina?

Obviously you've never wrecked a Lumina.. These bastards are tough! But this is a pretty tame driver too, he's very selective with his hits. The other cars killed each other and he reaped the benefits

Luminas are actually among the top 3 strongest mini/midsize cars out there in my opinion . Think you're thinking of a saturn there.

learn ur shit

geoffrey walker your an idiot
