Blockburnerz

[BlackSaint]

The Blockburnerz are an underground collective of mechanics and street racers based out of Barlowe’s Custom & Repairs in East Los Santos. The group’s name is a direct revival of a defunct 1990s crew known as the Blockburners, once active in small-scale street racing circles across the city.
 

The original Blockburners faded out in the early 2000s after a string of arrests and internal disputes. Years later, several employees at Barlowe’s began racing and tuning cars after hours, adopting the old name with a new look and attitude. The change in spelling became part of their identity, a quiet distinction between the old generation and the one running the streets today.

Most known members are mechanics and drivers connected to Barlowe’s, often seen in modified imports, muscle cars, and older domestic trucks. Law enforcement sources have linked the Blockburnerz to illegal racing, stolen parts, and unregistered vehicle work, though no organized charges have been brought against them. Within Los Santos’ underground car scene, the name has returned with the same reputation it carried decades ago, rebuilt and rebranded for a new era.

To those familiar with the city’s underground car scene, a handful of names are repeatedly linked to the Blockburnerz. Horace “OG Horse” Williams is regarded as the senior figure within the group, recognized for his long involvement in local racing and vehicle modification. His name appears in accounts tied to earlier street activity, and he is considered an influence on the current generation of drivers connected to the crew.

Gustavo “Sonny” Lopiz is a recognized driver who gained attention after joining the independent racing outfit SpeedHunters in 2024. His experience within the wider racing community has kept his name circulating among those who follow the city’s street circuit. Yukiteru “Playboy” Amano is described by several sources as active in late-night runs through industrial districts and maintains links with various tuning circles. Calvin Redmond is occasionally mentioned in connection with vehicle repair and sourcing, though his exact role within the group is unclear.

The Blockburnerz maintain a low public profile, operating primarily through vehicle repair, modification, and custom work at Barlowe’s Custom & Repairs. Activity around the garage increases late at night, with vehicles frequently observed entering and leaving after business hours. Members have been seen attending unofficial race meets across the city, with several cars linked to the group later identified in street racing footage and social media posts.
