The Big Tire Superstars Are Coming To Throwdown At Bounty Hunters

MG6_8789

Last year the Bounty Hunters No-Prep Grudge Series at San Antonio Raceway brought out some of the biggest names in the Big Tire No Prep racing world to do battle at one Texas’ top facilities. Racers threw everything they had at the track to try and bring home the big money on the table and the title of Bounty Hunter champion. The 2017 edition of the Bounty Hunters race is already one of the most anticipated events of the year, and the Big Tire class racers are ready to take center stage. All of the No Prep madness from Bounty Hunters will be streamed live right here on SpeedVideo this March 10-11!

The Bounty Hunters event pulls in a diverse group of Big Tire cars from the No Prep world. According to event promoter Matt Plotkin, there are a few reasons the kings of the Big Tire No Prep world attend this event.

“The race really brings in a big variety of cars and racers for sure. We have some racers that come to the race to help support us as promoters. The majority of them want to come to try and win the $25,000 prize with a free entry and be a part of history at this event.”

James “Birdman” Finney is one of the biggest names in No Prep racing and he’s looking to prove a point at Bounty Hunters this year. “Birdman has been struggling a little bit lately and this might be his big chance to make a statement after his rough patches at the end of the year. At the Winter Meltdown race he lost to ‘The 55’ pretty bad and he wasn’t too happy about it. I expect him to come to this race and try to show the No Prep world he isn’t going anywhere,” Plotkin says.

Speaking of ‘The 55′, Kirk Peters and his team will again be making the trip to San Antonio to take their shot at the Big Tire pot. “’The 55’ won a huge amount of the No Prep races it entered last year, so that car is going to be a force at Bounty Hunters, for sure. They’re coming to try and keep the streak alive after winning the Winter Meltdown in December. The car is running really well, and I expect them to be in the mix at Bounty Hunters,” Plotkin explains.

One of the big favorites to win at Bounty Hunters has to be last year’s Big Tire champion, Steve Wiley, in his blown Corvette. According to Plotkin, Wiley is pulling out all the stops for this year’s race. “Wiley is making all kinds of crazy changes to his car so it fits the rules for Bounty Hunters. He’s adding a bunch of weight to meet the minimum for his combination. He also cut up his $10,000 custom block to put a starter on it so he could start it from the inside, per the Big Tire class rules this year.”

One thing is for sure, Bounty Hunters is the stage where the stars of Big Tire No Prep racing come to prove they’re the best and chase the cash. The biggest names in Big Tire No Prep racing will be at Bounty Hunters, like the Bird Boyz, John Doe, Kayla Morton, Swamp Thing, Mike Murillo and many more.
