$3K Hooptie Challenge

Garbage cars + leftover turbos = big fun! On this episode of 3KHC, David Freiburger and Brian Lohnes hunt down the fastest Hoopties sporting whatever low buck turbo its owner could get their hands on. Revel in the ingenuity and the passion of real, low buck, grassroots racecars. From unassuming 4 cyls to 1000 hp boost snorting V8’s, come witness all the action at America’s cheapest drag race! Line ‘em up and let’s get racin!

On this episode of 3kHC, it’s all about the lowest buck power into even lower buck cars. Hosts David Freiburger and Brian Lohnes sniff out America’s fastest Nitrous aided “drag cars” and line em up two by two. Fireballs and fuel mixtures be damned, we’re goin' racin!

LS Swap the World! Right?? These days you can shove General Motors’ famed LS engine into almost anything, and on this episode of 3kHC hosts David Freiburger and Brian Lohnes find a few places they maybe shouldn’t have gone. Grab your popcorn and your tuner, we’re goin hot on track!

Calling all Hoopties! 3kHC fun isn’t just for cars, and on this episode we prove it with beat up trucks, hopped up vans, and even a down on its luck motorhome. Secure the cabinets and fill up the spare tank, we’re taking the long trip to Tucson to give away another 3k!

The bad, the worse, and the ugliest. This time on 3kHC we’re running Franksteins down the dragstrip. Frankensteins are basically garbage cars that didn’t really fit into any other 3K Hooptie racing category, but that still deserve a day in the sun for freak factor, sins against automotive humanity, and general grotesqueness. Cover young eyes, because monsters are real at the 3k Hooptie Challenge, and they even get a chance to win 3,000 bucks!

It’s the best of the worst! On the season finale of 3k Hooptie Challenge, we’re bringing back all of our beloved winners (plus a few worthy stragglers) to compete in a three- round battle of the budget beaters! Whoever your favorite winner was, he’s got a chance to do it all over again and sputter home with another $3,000 in his pocket and another notch of shame on his lap belt! This is the all-star episode!
