😈There won’t be another one like the “Jackyll” this season on the set of No Prep Kings. The new configuration is one of the only screw blown EFI cars out there. Owned by fuel injector guru Jack French, the name is quite fitting!

Making another post like this is inconceivable to me. And I know it’s a little late, but felt it was a must to say that our hearts and prayers go out to Wayne Smozanek’s family and friends from everyone here at Crusty Nova Racing. The amount of grief and loss we have all experienced or seen since this pandemic began is not something, I think any of us could have ever imagined. My hope is that we all learn how fragile and uncertain life can be. So live life to the fullest with no regrets and be kinder than necessary when dealing with people. You never know what battle they are fighting or loss they are grieving, of which, you know nothing about. Be thankful for each day you are given because we aren’t promised the next. Go live your life with purpose and write your own legacy; stay out of other peoples business. And most importantly, count your blessings. Take the time to let the people who mean the most, know just how much they mean to you…You just might not get another chance!
RIP Wayne Smozanek

With heavy hearts, we send our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of Rusty Threadgill. We love seeing other different and rare cars or builds and this car was one of our favorites! You will be missed!
RIP Rusty 🙏🏼

I’m absolutely heartbroken to learn of Rusty Threadgill’s passing. He was as genuine and as nice as they come. I always looked forward to getting to see him and I know I’m not alone. You made a positive impact on this world and put a whole lot of smiles on a whole lot of faces, we’re going to miss you beyond words. I feel very fortunate to have met you and I’ll always look back fondly on those memories. Godspeed Rusty, until we meet again.

March 27th 2015 Andrew and I rolled into Memphis International Raceway for the Outlaw Streetcar Reunion, I’d talked to Wes Hardin on Facebook and on the phone but never met him in person. This man borrowed a Motorhome and bought it to the track for us to stay in!! This was the moment I met one of the nicest most outgoing person that became a brother to me.

Wes has been fighting stomach cancer for several years and a couple weeks ago suffered a sever stroke. Wes left this world Friday to be with God in heaven. He was a great father, son, brother and friend to everyone he met. You’ll be missed by everyone buddy, you’ve been a Great friend! I wish we would have had more time together here on earth. Godspeed Brother.
