The Contest

The Speedmaster Downdraft Manifold Video Contest asked participants to submit a video explaining why they wanted the manifold. Over 100 entries came in, each making the case in its own way. The range and creativity of submissions made selecting a single winner impractical - so two were chosen.

The Winners

Trevor Farrington's entry stood out for its authenticity: a look inside the garage he shares with his personal chicken coop, grounding the build in real life. Grant Crosby took a different path entirely, submitting a rap-style lyrical piece about why the Speedmaster Downdraft manifold belonged in his build. Both entries earned the win on originality and genuine enthusiasm.
