The ODG Syclone in Mexico makes one of its fastest personal best passes!
A few months back, we covered the story of Texas-based fabricator and grudge racer On D Gas Racing building a twin-turbo Coyote powered GMC Syclone. The truck is running on a Holley Dominator stand-alone. According to Shrek Motorsports, it's built on a 5.2 block sleeved to a 5.0L running a dry sump with twin 76-79 Garrett turbos mounted in the bed. Both turbos breathe with custom-cut inlets into each of the bedsides. It has the stock diff with LSD in the front running on Bully Racing CV axles. The transfer case is a stock Borg Warner 4472 bolted to a 400 trans. The engine was set up to run on M1 methanol.
ODG's first outing with the truck was in FL at Bradenton Speedway back in October 2024 at the Cleetus AWD Shootout. With virtually no track time and testing other than on the dyno and the streets outside the track at 3 AM the morning of their scheduled race, they took the Syclone for its maiden voyage on a track. They took a loss but have since slowly been making progress in the setup and getting the truck much more dialed in on the track.
The most recent news from ODG is attending Memerkits Posada in Monterrey, Mexico, where they have claimed the truck to have done its fastest pass to date.
This is our second year coming to the Memerkits Posada here in Monterrey, Nuevo León and this time we decided to bring our syclone that won the OTM finals. With literally only 2 passes we managed to break our PB for this truck on a not so great surface but nonetheless still crazy for this truck! We’re excited to see what else it can do with more adjusting and more testing!
Before you get too excited, you're not going to see any posted times. These are grudge race events where no times are posted or blurred out, and the details of builds are usually kept relatively hush due to the money and bets associated with this type of racing. From our guess, this truck is hooking into the 4 to 5-second range in a 1/8th mile, making it a 7 to 8-second truck in the quarter mile.
