Hosted by <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwfRj2zwwmPfphv4Hh9weQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>throtl</strong></a>, with eight automotive creators: Tavarish, TJ Hunt, Jeremiah Big Time, Tony Angleo, Jake Schnatter, Jimmy Oakes, and Throtl, battled it out in the drag strip. The event brought together the best of modern car culture for a full day of quarter-mile competition, burnout action, creator appearances, and community-driven automotive passion.</p>\n<p data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"825\">From the moment gates opened, fans filled the stands and showfield to experience the Import vs. Domestic showdown firsthand. The event featured drag racing, drifting, burnout exhibitions, vendor displays, and creator meetups, creating an atmosphere that felt less like a traditional race day and more like a celebration of everything enthusiasts love about the automotive world.</p>\n<p data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"825\"><img src=\"https://www.datocms-assets.com/10845/1778518460-grandstands_throtlthrowdown-1.jpeg\"><img src=\"https://www.datocms-assets.com/10845/1778516891-throtlvmcclaren_throtlthrowdown.jpeg\"></p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"17o34gk\" data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1503\">The WD-40<span>&reg; Brand</span> x throtl Ford GT Draws a Crowd</h2>\n<p data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1208\">One of the biggest highlights of the event was the WD-40<span>&reg;</span> Brand booth, where fans got an up-close look at the rebuilt Ford GT created in partnership with throtl for SEMA 2025. <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Don&rsquo;t know the story?

The project featured a complete rebuild with an authentic Doran GT2 carbon fiber body kit, custom wheels, upgraded suspension, performance braking components, and aggressive track-inspired styling that made the car impossible to ignore at Maple Grove Raceway.</p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1614\"><img src=\"https://www.datocms-assets.com/10845/1778517032-fordgt_throtlthrowdown-1.jpeg\"></p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1614\">More Than Just a Show Car</h2>\n<p data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1957\">Beyond the build itself, the Ford GT represented the spirit behind the entire event. Including creativity, problem solving, craftsmanship, and passion for the automotive community.

Creator-driven competition brought extra intensity to the drag strip as imports and domestics battled for bragging rights in front of packed grandstands. Burnout smoke drifted through the venue over at the aFe POWER Burnout Box where Luis Perez, aFe Dyno Tech and professional Go Karter turned Drifter, burnt some rubber in his Throtl-built Nissan 240SX drift car.</p>\n<p data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"2380\"><img src=\"https://www.datocms-assets.com/10845/1778518135-races-throtlthrowdown-1.jpg\"></p>\n<p data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"2380\">Lee Carter rounded out the day winning the drag race competition, donating five thousand dollars to their charity of choice: Queen Anne&rsquo;s County Animal Shelter.</p>\n<p data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"2380\"><img src=\"https://www.datocms-assets.com/10845/1778518099-winnings_throtlthrowdown-1.jpg\"></p>\n<p data-start=\"2382\" data-end=\"2745\">More than anything, Throtl Throwdown showcased how automotive culture continues to evolve through collaboration between brands, creators, and enthusiasts.

The formula has no toxic fumes, contains no VOCs, is non-irritating to skin, and works without harming surrounding surfaces like rubber, plastic, and paint. Use it to restore even intricate, hard to reach surfaces to clean, bare metal that is ready to paint. This product is ready to use and requires no dilution. Simply submerge your rusted item in the solution for at least 30 minutes to remove light rust, overnight (8 hours) for medium rust, and up to 24 hours for heavily rusted items.</p>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Rust Remover Soak is ideal for use on auto parts, tractors, antiques, farm equipment &amp; implements, trailers &amp; hitches, and rusty tools. Use at room temperature or higher for maximum effectiveness, as speed and performance drop significantly below 60&deg;F. Don't use on metals with bluing, browning or other oxide coatings or paint, as it will remove these beneficial oxide coatings.</p>\n<p class=\"ewa-rteLine\">The formula can be re-used. The more you de-rust, the darker the solution becomes. The solution is spent when it turns black and no longer performs. Do not pour the used solution back into fresh product in the original container.
