Ride Along With Boosted GT As He Makes Passes Right Off The Trailer

Chris Hamilton, better known to most of the world as Boosted GT, built his reputation on small tire racing. Years ago, long before there was any hint of a television show about Street Racing, Boosted would answer call outs from all across the country in his Yellow small tire Mustang. Despite often being outclassed in horsepower and tire size, his car worked so well that he would outrun cars that, on paper at least, he should have lost to.

Fast forward to today, and Boosted is still laying down some killer runs on small tires, even when most of the small tire contingent has gone the big-tire route. Some may call him stubborn for sticking with the tiny rear tires, but you can’t deny he knows how to make them stick. His new car was built, if I remember correctly, to fit big tires or small under the rear, but he’s stuck with what he knows best, and what made him an internet legend.

This video from our friend Justin at JMalcom2004 shows Boosted laying down a couple of passes at Dorchester Dragway. The turbocharged small block Ford under the hood is cranking out gobs of horsepower, more than enough to make just about any big tire car spin if the suspension isn’t set up correctly and the power curve isn’t properly dialed in. Seeing these small rear tires planting that power off the line and then hearing the turbo really start to spool as he heads down the track just shows how well Chris has a handle on his hotrod.

I personally enjoy watching the small tire guys lay the wood to the big tire cars, proving that experience and a little restraint can make a car just as fast as brute horsepower and throwing more tire at it to make it stick. Hopefully next time we catch up with Chris, there will be a big tire car in the other lane catching an L!
