Velocity Motorsports' Jay runs one of the most popular automotive channels on TikTok. In a recent video, he revealed plans to take the powertrain from his wrecked 2020 Mustang GT drag car and put it into a new chassis with a roll cage, thanks to a special challenge from well-known builder Jeff Hellhorse.

Jeff Hellhorse's Social Media Challenge

Jeff Hellhorse, owner of Hellhorse Performance, is well known in the drag racing world for sponsoring builds through social media challenges. He sponsors Parker Storey of Stay Angry Racing through various challenges to help fund Parker's projects. Now, Jeff is offering Velocity Motorsports the same opportunity.

Jay explained that if 60 people use the code "VeloRacer" to purchase Jeff's 4-8 inch Touchscreen Conversion Kit by the end of the month, Hellhorse Performance will provide the rolling chassis for Jay's new Mustang V8 dragster absolutely free. That's a huge savings towards the build budget.

Plans for the New Ford Mustang Dragster

With the rolling chassis covered, Jay will have more funds available for high-performance parts to make the car really fast. He plans to take the powertrain from his totaled 2020 Mustang GT, which was originally a drag car before the accident, and drop it into the new chassis. Jay already has the wrecked Mustang's welding cage, so the new car will have an excellent safety structure in place from the start.

Getting Involved in the Challenge

Jay is urging his large TikTok following to use the code "VeloRacer" on Jeff Hellhorse's website by the end of the month. This will help Jay complete the challenge and receive the rolling chassis sponsorship. With the extra budget, Velocity Motorsports can create what is sure to be another incredible Ford Mustang dragster.
