Wanting to prove he could repeat history and do it even better the second time around, Reese partnered with another customer of his, Rick Thornton. “I was worried I couldn’t keep up with it, so I decided to sell El Diablo and a customer stepped up to purchase it,” explained Reese, who rolled the proceeds right back into his business with the decision to build El Diablo 2.0. El Diablo exceeded his expectations, though, and he actually wound up with more work than he could handle as a result. With none other than Phil Shuler tuning the supercharged radial tire Camaro, Reese stomped the grudge race scene and much more.īuilt originally to promote his business when he decided to go full-time, Reese was worried at first that he wouldn’t have enough customers to sustain the business. Reese, owner of Reese Brothers Race Cars in Temple, Georgia, ran rampant in 2019 with his original “El Diablo” and went 3.69 on a 275 tire to reset the elapsed time world record and become the first man to the 3.60s on the small tire. We are barely into the new year and it looks like 2020 is going to be The Year of the Devil as chassis builder David Reese has unveiled his latest Radial vs the World weapon, his “El Diablo 2.0” Camaro.
