NASCAR NOVA: Nasty '73 Nova Escaped the Oval and Hit the Road | EP39

Video Description

RACERODS PART 1: Rough, raw, and rowdy, this 1973 Chevy Nova, built by the legendary NASCAR chassis builder Ivan The Terrible Baldwin, raced the NASCAR Winston West series before being abandoned for 40 years. Rescued and revived by Lance Smith with a period-correct 358 ci small-block Chevy V8 and a Muncie Rock Crusher 4-speed transmission, it’s now a “RaceRod” — a street-legal race car that remains almost exactly as it hit the short track, complete with buzzard bars and a danger switch. Nicole Johnson explores Lance’s insane collection of abandoned, historic race cars in East County San Diego. From its rough patina to its ferocious engine, this ex-stock car is pure, unfiltered adrenaline on wheels, ripping through the backroads in this unapologetic piece of racing history. RACERODS PART 2: https://youtu.be/rMx_pD9c3DQ MORE ON LANCE SMITH: Lance relocated to East County, San Diego in 2004 after growing up in Erie, PA. He's been racing, building and collecting cars for 40 years.
