Episode 159 Recap: Tracking Devices and Fuel System Deep Dives
Don't Make It Easy: A Crash Course in Not Getting Your Car Stolen
CJ Stevenson joined to talk tracking devices: a Sick GPS unit runs $150 with a full year of service, then about $24 a year after, far less than most subscription-based competitors charge. The real value is peace of mind. CJ shared a story about a stolen side-by-side that, once recovered, led police to a trailer holding a stolen Pro Mod car and a stash of Harleys.
Mike and Eric also ran through a few cheap ideas: lock the doors, remove the steering wheel, disconnect the ECU, add a hidden kill switch, use real trailer hitch locks, and don't be the easiest car in the lot to take.
Building a Fuel System From Scratch, With DeatschWerks
Mark Campbell from DeatschWerks walked through the fuel system going into Eric's turbo LS Mustang build: dual 810 lph in-tank pumps, a 1500cc injector, a return-style regulator, and a properly sized -8 feed line.
The standout nugget was DeatschWerks bucket-and-fuel-cell hanger technology, using active return-line filling and one-way valves to keep the pump submerged even when the tank is nearly empty.
Mark also broke down injector sizing myths: bigger isn't always better, and a well-matched 1500cc injector can idle smoothly while still supporting over 1,500 horsepower.
The news drop: DeatschWerks is officially the Title Sponsor of Short Circuit at Route 66 Roundup, which comes with two free race entries the team plans to give away to Race Car Friends.
Around the World: Sweden and Australia Deliver
Street Week Sweden crowned Michael Westberg the overall winner in Max Outlaw with a blistering 4.2261. All Stars Drag and Drive in Australia saw Adam Rogash post the quickest total ET in Australian drag-and-drive history in the Unlimited class, a staggering 17.793 across three days, including a run in the 4-second range.
DDR Housekeeping: Registration, Awards, and a Route Reveal
Short Circuit registration opens Friday at 9am Eastern for prior participants, with public registration following Saturday morning. The Drag and Drive Awards are moving from Thursday to Friday, December 11th at 3pm during PRI 2026. The Route 66 Roundup heads south through Bristow for a Feed the Racers stop at Crossroads Diner, then through Jenks past the Oklahoma Aquarium before finishing at Velocity Motorsports. And in Race Car Friends news: congrats to Laney Mackey, who got engaged to Aiden Stone during Big Sky Race Week.
