You're about to see an awesome video with a bunch of emotions, but to celebrate our win at World Cup Finals, we're doing a 10% off sale on the entire website, so if you go to cjracecars.com from now until Wednesday, 11th at 9pm. You're going to save 10% off on all your favorite CJ Race Cars merch and CJ Race Cars parts. Buying the merch definitely helps make all this stuff possible. We had a pretty rough week, so I greatly appreciate the support. Let's get to the video. All right, we're up here for qualifier number two. We got the car all about to go. We're in the lanes at the very back. They called our class. We didn't even know, so we got up here a little bit late. But with plenty of time, they just started running our class. I'm going to go watch, check out the track, and let's hope this pass goes better. You guys know we're always looking for tools and cool stuff around the shop. That's one reason I keep checking out Whatnot. I'm also giving away a $500 shopping spree, but more on that later. Whatnot is one of my favorite ways to shop online because it's live. Real people selling Pokemon cards, tools, electronics, fishing gear, hunting gear, knives, and so much more. Even snacks and candy. It's like taking a trip to a giant swap meet without ever leaving the shop. You can talk to sellers, ask questions, and bid on stuff in real time. I picked up a Milwaukee battery from Home Depot and grabbed saltwater taffy for $3. Check these guys out. Oh, I got a battery. Milwaukee battery. $69. Strawberry kiwi saltwater taffy. I don't... Take a shopping trip on Whatnot, use my link, or scan the QR code for $25 off your first purchase anywhere on the app. And if you haven't used your credit from my last video, it's still available. The Milwaukee battery order would have only been $54 with the $15 off. Plus, if you use my link and follow me on Whatnot, you will be automatically entered to win $500 in Whatnot credit and that could get you some pretty nice tools for the shop. Thanks Whatnot for sponsoring today's video Let's get back to it. All right, we're up here for our third and final qualifier here at World Cup. It is freezing cold. They actually have the jet on the track to try to get some heat in the track before we go down. Then I'm assuming they're going to spray and drag. But we're up here with a first round, an Outlaw versus Extreme. I'd love to see a 560 pass here, but as long as we make a decent pass, we can get ready for tomorrow. They're going to start E1 at 9 a.m. I think we're the first class out. We just want to make a decent pass here, hopefully faster than 577, which as long as he doesn't have to pedal it, he should go faster than 577. And I'm sure Jamie turned up a little bit more than it was even on that pass, so we'll see how it goes. You try to act like you're not nervous and stuff on the camera. No, I've been doing good. Have you? Yeah. As soon as he shuts it off, I said, you got this hooked to something this time, right? No, this is the old one. He's not doing any good. This is the old one. We should have just taken a piece of light tape. He's got it hooked to the radio. He's listening in on us now. No, no. So the first time, as soon as you get close to finish line, I have it off. Now I keep it on to make sure I can hear you because I thought we were all good and everyone said the drive shaft exploded. I didn't even know. So I'm like half trying to put this thing back on and turn knobs to figure out what's going on down there. It's too late. You're going to have to wear the radio too like we did at FL2K and work the knobs for them so that you can get them dialed in. You hold the radio. I'll have the headset. Maybe I can flip this one around. Yeah, we'll be ear to ear. All right, let's see what we can do. It wasn't there, track wasn't there. Race day at World Cup Finals, we have Maximus Racing, the fastest full-size truck on the planet, first round. Awesome truck, great group of guys. It's early in the morning. I think we're the next class to get called up. How you feeling? Oh, we're ready. Feeling good about it? Yeah. I'm already down here in the trenches. I'm like right here looking over the dirt. Seeing where they're at right now. Seeing where they're at? All right. I'm ready. Last night was cold. It's warmed up a little bit today. 45 degree track temperature last night. Oh, that's what it is. What is it today? Oh, I don't know. Hopefully better than yesterday. More than that for sure, yeah. See that big old sun shining up there? Uh-huh. That's what we need. We need cold air and the sun out on the race track keeping warm and we'll be all right. Yeah. I like it. So what's the plan right here? What are we going out here and doing? Do we know or you just told Jamie, send it tune up and I'll put it in there? Yeah, he sent it and I put it in there. I mean, I kind of know what we're going to do, but I mean. Top secret? No, it's not top secret. What's the plan? Tell me. I mean, if it goes, I think it's still going to go. It's going to go 560s. What? Yeah, I mean, if it goes down. No way. We're going to do that yesterday. All right. I like it. So 560s, we're going to go up there. This is E1. This is the day we wait for all year. Biggest race of the year. Fans everywhere, people everywhere, just an awesome vibe at World Cup Finals. If you've never been to World Cup Finals, it's like no other race that you've ever been to. Right, Brian? Right. How's the food? Brian's been out here helping. How's the food, Brian? Hey, Brian, the food's good too, right? The food at Ten Soldiers is good. The food at Ten Soldiers is not good. No. But it is pretty amazing to see people. Like, the stand's 30% full at like 7.30 in the morning as we're pulling in. It's crazy, right? There's people on the stands waiting for us. Insane. It's awesome. I've never seen it. It makes it like when you do all the work we've done and then you see that, and people stand up when we get on the start line, it makes it worth it. Listen to them. Fire it up. Fire it up. I just want to give a huge thank you to all the sponsors who came on board to sponsor Eagle and Team CJ Racecars for the 2026 season. Without these companies, it makes it a lot harder for us to race, especially as hard as we did here in the World Cup Finals. And hopefully these partnerships go into the 2027 season. Our main sponsor for Eagle for the 2026 season was LockardSecurity.com. Also jumping on board was Legacy Welding, a local welding and fabrication company. Accurate Asphalt jumped on board for the last race of the year and spent the whole weekend with us. TreeMart, Harlow & Co., Wright Trailers, Avco, Brian Smith Fabrication, Dirty Innovations, FlowSafe. A&R Development Group, Hurricane Motorsports, DoneRight Insulation, Eubanks Enterprises, Fish Racing, Alpha Fiber, VP Racing Fuels, Parts Charger, RC Comp Wheels, Nitrous Express, and many more helped us make this entire season possible. I've seen stuff flying, boy, I didn't know what was going on. Oh, pimp down, pimp down, pimp down. down. You got it? That wasn't off our car, was it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Second round, that was close, that truck was rolling. That truck was getting it. Yeah, he messed with us cuz he'd been playing around. That was fast. He's gonna be happy even though he didn't win, he's gonna be happy. Yeah. All right. All right, we're up here for E2. It is now really cold. It's only 530, it's already dark. It's getting cold. Soon as the sun drops, it's starting to get really cold. We're up here, we got the R&R connecting rods. 2JZ ProMod will run in the second round. They've been fast, awesome car, great group of guys over there. Eric, oh, great group of guys, fast car, prepping now. We're going to see what he can do. After that run, so we're going over here and everything. They did puke a little bit out the... About the Q tank, it went 236, so it dumped about a bunch of miles an hour, 234, but he said he was out early, pulled the chutes early, he knew we were way out there, so he didn't want to run it out back. Check everything to make sure if anything is hurt, we can fix it quick. Saki Mom, fastest car, just rolled the beams. Chris Rankin, number three who qualified ahead of us, yeah, number three, out, just blew up an engine. Number two, Bill Lutz, out earlier. We have to run... Ryan Hendrickson in the Mustang next round, who just went down a track is going to start getting tricky. I think we got a good shot with this guy. I think we got a real shot. It's crazy that we're even here, so no matter what, this has been absolutely awesome, but let's see what we can do. Thank you, Nick. All good so far? This side's perfect. The last minute repair before we go up for the semis. Well, we just got done using a golf cart windshield to fix Yandro's car, and I gave him my other roll of tape. And our doors are coming apart, so we're going to tape our stuff. Thankfully, we saw. We were just about to head up there, but that tape's good stuff, though. Should hold it together. Drill it if you're watching. Yeah. We need a sticker. We need a sticker and a sponsorship. We got room for at least one more sticker. Yeah. Ultimate amount of rolls of this. Yeah, unlimited. Unlimited. We use it for lots of stuff. For sure. Thank you, sir. You're going to win. Let me get stick shift. Medellin 5, Bursary Bites. I need you guys to sell it. We're back. The parachute popped out the stage and we had to put it back in. But anyways, we're prepping the track. Three cars left. We have Ryan Hendrickson, been extremely fast on this little Fox body. Track conditions are going to be a little tricky. It's cold. Not as cold as last time. It is cold out here. We had a TPS sensor not bad, which was goofing up the tune-up. Nitrous was coming on and off. So we're kind of going out here not knowing exactly what's going on. But either way, see y'all then. We're in the finals, Eagle vs. El Jerry 2JZ Pro Mod, and honestly, I'm kind of at a loss for words. If you would have told me we'd be here at the beginning of the week, I probably wouldn't have believed you, but that's why you never give up. We're up here. It's going to be a good race. Both cars have both been really fast. Track conditions may be in favor of the big tire, but they're all prepping as best they can. Man, I'd love to be holding the cup in about 15 minutes. As you can tell by this video, we won World Cup Finals, which is the biggest race of the year. The race we literally built Eagle Ford for Garrett two and a half years ago, and it finally took home the trophy. Before we get into this video, I just want to say, Troy's working extremely hard. Some of the guys, Brad, Tom, Tyler, Kyle, I mean. It's been absolutely insane. And Troy started his YouTube channel, and he's showing a lot of stuff with Eagle that he's, from his point of view, he's also got a truck he's trying to build for Sick Week and a bunch of other cool racing stuff. So make sure you go over to Troy Perez Jr. Racing on YouTube. I'll put a link in the bottom. Subscribe. He's helping make all this possible. Without him and the rest of the team, none of this happens. So make sure you go over there and subscribe. He'll be posting a video later today, I think. Yeah, later today, a personal video. You guys get point of view from Cameron. his guys and my guys on our side and there's a lot of collaboration stuff that happens in between to both of us with the videos and everything but it's it's a joint team effort between all of us you know and um not everybody got to the track at the same time uh we had to make sure we got a few different trailers there and uh all the merch and just it's a lot of moving parts to try to make these events especially the big ones with everybody you know trying to get all of our stuff there that we need and and it's just it's a lot and it's a it's a joint team effort that's That's all I can say. It's just an awesome weekend of racing. Yeah, I mean, for months I didn't sleep thinking about what it would be like to be on that start line if the win light came on in the finals, and we did it. And it's crazy. You don't see the emotions. I was fired up. He was fired up. Everybody's fired up. I just got pictures, and there's like everybody in the back's feet are off the ground because everybody's jumping in the air. And it's unexplainable. It's hard to even put into words, but when there's 30,000 people in the stands cheering and that wind light comes on. It's like nothing else. Yeah, it's definitely crazy to think about it for months before the race and visualize how you think it was supposed to go. That's a loaded one there. For sure. Because when we got there, you know, as you guys know, the engine had to come out of the car to be there and to call Cameron and to tell him, hey, we're not going to be able to race this week. I'm starting to speak. I didn't want to have to make that call. But he told me, look at our options, let's see what we can do. Within 30 minutes, we had a plan, so, and to think the way it's supposed to go in your mind when you go to a racetrack, knowing, like, we told you guys a long time ago, I told you that we don't go to races without, you know, we go there looking to win. We don't go to participate, and so to visualize how it was supposed to go and then how it really went and to talk about with Cameron, we talked about a few different ways and scenarios that this race could have played out after round one, and when things started falling into place, The way that we thought that they should, the feeling of this is really going to happen and I got to do what I'm supposed to do here to take it all the way and then to do that and it happened and everything played out the you know the way that we really thought it should starting in eliminations was just awesome so it really is. Thanks for watching today's video it was a big one for us and I appreciate all the support make sure you like share and subscribe We'll see you all in a minute.
