[Big Chief] Oklahoma City's Top Ten List
has produced the fastest street race cars in history.
Oh, [bleep].
[man] Yeah!
[Big Chief] Tonight, on Street Outlaws!
Welcome to this fantastic new location.
[Big Chief] We're heading to a sketchy street
that will put us to the test.
I want to be honest with you, 'cause nobody else can hear.
I'm terrified of this road.
[Big Chief] And we'll have to adjust quickly
because the stakes on the List
are higher than ever.
This is really gonna show,
like, who's got their [bleep] together.
[Big Chief] Monza is set to defend his crown.
Ryan's already got a callout on us.
[Big Chief] Shawn is making a big change
to try and turn things around.
Why are you working on the OG car
and not the List car?
We're not gonna talk about that car for a little bit.
I swapped it back to big tires,
I've been testing it,
and I'd like to call out Boosted.
[Big Chief] And an unexpected callout
puts everyone on notice.
I'm not gonna sit here with some guy
calling the [bleep] List out.
- A new guy, yeah. - [Kamikaze] And just give this guy a free shot.
[Big Chief] But when it comes to racing on this list,
nothing comes easy.
- [man 1] Oh, my God! - [man 2] Oh, God.
[cars accelerating]
What are you doing?
Just going over the race with Dominator.
Went over the car, checked everything out,
make sure it's all still ready to go.
Of course, it's ready to rock just like it was when we left.
And since we only got one pass,
we don't really have to do anything.
It sucks because three weeks ago
we didn't have our [bleep] together.
We made three or four passes a night, you know?
You lose one, you win one, you lose one,
but we could make three or four passes,
and we were getting faster. And now, all of a sudden,
seems like we got our [bleep] together
and now we only got one pass a night, you know?
Because everybody's too scared to fall down.
So, we're coming off a really frustrating race night.
Last week Dave showed up with a broke car
and jammed up the whole top of the List.
I've tested the [bleep]
trying to pull him out of that thing.
It won't make a pass.
So, what's happening?
I'm not racing my car.
Dave's not moving, not letting nobody race,
not letting anybody go, not racing anybody.
I don't even know why he brought his [bleep] car.
If he's not doing [bleep].
A lot of us only got to race once.
This season we're all supposed to be putting in
maximum effort every night.
Not just sitting on our spots refusing to race,
but that's not what's happening.
Phoning in race nights isn't gonna do us any good
if we're up against racers from outta town.
So, I've decided to throw them a midseason curve ball.
And instead of going to our regular race spot,
we're gonna go to a totally different road.
It's frustrating.
It just feels like I'm the only one
that wants to race, you know?
I don't think that everybody cares
about being number one.
I think they just want a decent number
in the Top Five and they're good,
and they don't wanna fall.
Yup, I think that's what it boils down to.
So, for this next race night we're gonna leave the road
that we've been racing on all season
and years of List racing before that,
and we're gonna head to a sketchy piece of concrete
that you may recognize from Cash Days Texas vs. OKC.
It was a tricky surface,
and it took a while for even me to figure it out.
Half the guys never figured it out.
Nice job on the road, Boosted.
But when we raced against Texas
we proved that they had nothing for us.
And that's the same kind of hustle and determination
that I need to see from these guys right now.
I'd rather race until I lose and I'm number ten,
rather than race once and then load up and go home.
Coil On Plug in the OG.
- It's crazy. - I know.
I got all the nice stuff on this deal, now.
[man 3] It got real modern in a hurry.
Yo! What are you doing, baby?
What the hell?
Why are you working on the OG car
and not the List car?
We're not gonna talk about that car for a little bit.
Let's talk about this car.
But this is the List car.
Well, it might have used to have been.
- Let's talk about this car. - Yeah?
Let's talk about this car.
So, I've been struggling pretty hard lately.
I haven't won a List race all season.
Jeff Lutz by three!
But it's not from a lack of trying.
I tell you what. If it don't [bleep] take it,
then this piece of [bleep] ain't [bleep] working.
It ain't the [bleep] power management.
I've tried everything from different tune-ups.
I gotta get that bitch under control, man.
To different chassis setups, to welding bars in
and I just can't figure it out. So...
What the [bleep], man? What did it do?
The only option that I can think of
is to break out the OG Murder Nova.
I'm already sitting in a ten spot,
so there's nothing for me to lose.
Man, that's a pretty bold move
with the List race coming up [bleep].
[Murder Nova] I mean, I look at it like,
we've been beating our heads against the wall all season
- with this deal, man. - Yeah, I know.
And, what have we had, four, five List races?
- [Jeff] Yeah. - And I haven't made it
- past the 60ft, man. - Yeah, I know.
[Murder Nova] And at some point, man,
you can only beat your head against the wall so long
before you knock yourself out.
And, from what I understand,
we're going back to the [bleep] roads,
and this car loves [bleep] roads, man.
Chief hit us all up to let us know
we're racing at a different road this week.
But my OG car has so many hit streets on it
and I've always been able to force it down the road
and I got a pretty good outta town record with this deal.
So, I think I can throw this thing back together
and I think I can go out and do what I gotta do
and get this thing down the road.
I wanted to get your advice on a few things
and, you know, welding-type stuff.
- Okay. - It has been bust my ass
to get this thing swapped back to big tires.
I've got a couple of days to maybe make some test hits.
- We'll see what happens. - I think it's a great idea.
I may just stick with this one, you know?
This is my home right here, man.
- I get back in this thing and it's home base, you know? - Yeah.
[Murder Nova] I'm comfortable, this is my original office.
Well, me and my OG Murder Nova, man.
We've been through a lot.
[scream]
Yeah, baby!
We have held the number one spot for years.
We have won multiple Cash Days.
We have whipped every person that we've raced
from outta town with this car.
- [voice on radio] Shawn, by three quarters of a car. - Yeah!
[Murder Nova] I truly believe with a little bit of love
this car is gonna take me where I wanna go.
So, when we show up at race night, you're ten.
- How's that gonna work? - I don't really know how that works, man.
I've seen people do it before and they will say,
"I'm pulling the car off
and I'm calling out number ten."
Because, in my head,
I pull the car off at the right time
and then just call out number ten.
Because as soon as I pull this car off the List,
number ten is gonna be open.
- And you're gonna... - [Murder Nova] So, I'll call it.
- Hell yeah! - As long as nobody has a problem with that...
Well, I've seen Dave do it, he pulled his car off number one,
went right back to number ten with a totally different car.
- If he can do it, you can do it. - But does that mean
- they're gonna let me do it? - Yeah, but this is the Murder Nova,
I mean, it's the OG,
and that list wouldn't be that list without it.
- Well, I'm excited to get it back out, that's for sure. - [Jeff] Hell yeah!
- Well, show me what you got. - Let's get to work.
Let's get to work.
You may or may not believe
who I just got off the phone with.
Who?
Chief.
For what?
He's taken notice that we've been doing
a little street racing here and there.
And he's looking for a new car to put on the List.
And go for the 405 Top Ten?
- Nice. - And a shot at the 405 List,
that's right.
My name's Damon Merchant, I'm from Chickasha, Oklahoma.
I drive a 1968 Camaro we call Rogue.
Underneath the hood of this car
is a big-block Chevy, ProCharged.
It's loud, zoomies, and it's violent.
Hard work on the streets pays off.
Yeah, taking it out, racing, testing, all that.
Getting all the No Preps that we've done and stuff.
It's a new car, a lot of people don't know it,
but I think it's time to put it out there.
So, when we got the text from Chief,
I was super excited, super pumped.
We've put a lot of hard work into this.
I really didn't know it would come this soon and this fast,
but we gotta capitalize on that call.
Are we going for ten or a shot at ten?
Chief did mention Kamikaze's got the Elco running again.
So, with him getting it back out,
I'll bet we'll have to race him
to get a shot at number ten.
I believe Shawn or Boosted is number ten now,
but that'll give us
some good data on the road, I think.
Because I ain't really worried about that car.
Nah, run him, get data, then move up.
Yeah.
So, everyone knows how the Top Ten List kinda sits,
who's been on it the last few years.
And, with us coming out with a new car,
I don't think that they're gonna be ready for us.
It's kinda gotten stale over the last few years
and we plan on coming out and mixing things up.
I think we'll be good to go.
Just do a little maintenance here and there
and change a few little things and we should be good.
[man 4] It works for me.
[man 5] What's up, man?
- What's going on? - [man 5] Nada.
Is this gnarly son of a bitch ready to test or what?
I called you because I spoke with ol' Chief
and he said that there's some guy
calling the [bleep] List out.
I'm not gonna sit here with my car here running
and be like, "Go ahead, [bleep]."
[man 5] Oh, boy.
For the last two years I've been bustin' my ass
on the Elco nonstop
to get the car more along the lines
of the rest of the guys on the 405.
After all that time,
I literally have hardly any street passes
on this brand-new combo.
Recently, Chief told me there's a guy
coming out for the List.
I'm not gonna let some new guy just show up.
This guy's gonna have to race me to get on the List.
No one gets a free pass, I never did.
No one does. So, we'll see how it goes.
So, we got the Hemi, we got the ninety-fours,
got the Rossler,
went to a strut on the front end.
Got the car a little bit lighter,
got the big tires on it.
So, you know, I need to make some hits.
I need to do a test.
- I need to find some street and make some test hits, so... - Yeah.
- We need to get some licks on this thing. - Yeah.
The El Camino is not like anybody else's car.
It's got heritage.
The car came into my possession
after my friend Flip passed away.
Before me, he made a name with that car on the street.
The car always went and did good
and pulled off big upsets.
But since I acquired the car,
I've done everything I can, little by little,
to make the car faster.
The story of that car and its origin
and how it kinda come up racing,
is kinda the same way I did it.
The left field underdog,
it's ugly, it doesn't fit the rest of the cars.
It's not real flashy, kinda like me.
That car is a legitimate reflection or piece of me,
of who I am as a person.
That's how much racing means to me.
It's kinda all I've ever had, it's all I've ever done.
And I'm gonna grind and work on this car till the end.
The only difference between me and them
is I still got, like, a real car.
Real deal.
You know, most of those guys are 2,600lb chassis cars,
but I think the weight is kinda gonna help me a bit
- on the street. - [man 5] It should.
New wing, you know, the bigger tire,
- all that stuff, so... - Bar change, too.
I mean, I think I got a car that can be number one
or I wouldn't be [bleep] with these guys, to be honest.
[Big Chief] Coming up...
Hey, tell Boost to hold up!
[Big Chief] The OG Murder Nova shakes off the cobwebs.
There's a hole in the [bleep] tank.
- We gotta put something over it. - Yeah.
[Big Chief] And Monza defends his crown.
[Big Chief] So, tonight the 405 List
heads to a new city and a new road
for a new challenge.
We'll find out how this surface changes the List.
Plus, by the end of this night,
OKC racer Damon will take on OG 405 Kamikaze
and the El Camino.
And whoever wins will be next in line
to take on the List.
Okay, drivers' meeting.
Welcome to this fantastic new location.
And, tonight, we're gonna race here.
We've all been down [bleep] roads before.
We've gone all over the country and been down [bleep] roads.
Uh, what callouts do we have?
Starting at the top, King Monza.
King Jerry.
Monza is sitting pretty at number one.
How many times you defended your spot up till now?
None.
- You about to, huh? - About to.
[Big chief] Who got a callout on you?
- [Big Chief] Yeah? - Yeah.
What happened last time?
Well, he did a better job than me
at getting to the other end.
But, hey, [bleep] he running for mayor?
Any time you don't end up with the crown,
you didn't do your job right, so...
[Big Chief] You got a point. I've been there.
So, all right,
so you're all gonna do this for number one.
And who's after that?
Dave?
- Dave's sitting at three. He is right in front of me. - [Big Chief] You at three.
- Chuck, you're gonna callout on Dave? - [Chuck] Absolutely.
Hell yeah. It's happening tonight?
Yeah, he has some motor issues, it's cool.
[laughing]
- [Chuck] That's good. Hey... - [Big Chief] Not nearly as squeaky as Ryan.
- Not nearly as squeaky. - It's all right.
Ain't nothing squeaky about Chuck.
Dave knows I'm a [bleep], I mean...
[laughing]
[Big Chief] Who's after that?
Oh, it'd be me.
[Chuck] So, who's got a callout on you?
Who's sitting at six?
[Big Chief] Sitting at six is Dominator.
And I just kicked the [bleep] out of him last week.
- [Chuck] Oh, you did? Oh, okay. So... - Somebody... yeah.
Yeah, you don't really have a callout on you.
Not right now.
Somebody was at my trailer by the time I got back.
- Oh, okay, who was that? - He was mad.
He was not happy.
He was mad when you got there, Doc? Wasn't he mad?
He was mad when he got there, because I was already there.
I'm eight, waiting on the loser of that race.
I've already defended my spot to Boosted.
That leaves you...
No, no, no. Nope, stops with you.
- Stops... - Stops right here.
- No, it doesn't stop with me. - Stops right there.
Oh, yeah, it doesn't quite stop with him.
So, I got something.
I was beating my head against the wall
with the new car,
so I had to get the OG out.
I swapped it back to big tires,
I've been testing it, I'm pulling the new car off.
- And putting the old car on. - Putting the old car on, if possible.
And I'd like to call out Boosted.
Okay, so, now, Shawn's back on with the OG
and called you out.
- Okay, great. - Come on.
Me and Dave will go first.
- I don't care. - Let's do it.
Yeah.
- Everybody's gotta race. - We all gotta race, I mean [bleep].
- [Murder Nova] Go second? - [Boosted] Okay.
- Great. - Boom!
Great!
- We're third. - We're third.
[Big Chief] All right, everybody good?
- [Doc] Yup. - [Dominator] Yup.
All right, let's do it!
So, the first matchups for tonight's race
are all set.
Chuck and Dave will start off by finally racing
for the number three spot.
And after that Boosted and the OG Murder Nova
will race for the number nine spot.
Then, Doc and Dom are going at it for number six.
And, finally, Monza is going to defend his crown
against Ryan Martin.
- Yo, yo! - What's up, man?
Whatcha doing?
Trying to figure out how I get that,
take that number three spot away from Dave.
I'm number four, I've called out Dave.
He said, "Chuck, I can't beat you
with the issues I have, I don't make the power."
And I'm like, all right, so, you know?
I let him wait 'til the next week.
Well, the next week we're not on the same road...
We're not on the same road.
I felt like I had a tune-up that I could handle business.
I feel like me and you would be racing for number one
before the end of the night.
Uhm, now we got a different road thrown in our face.
- There you go. - We all have to line up on that same road.
- Anything can happen. - [Chuck] And anything can happen.
So, I'm gonna put the smartest tune-up
I can put in here.
- I'm wanna be honest with you... - [Chuck] Yes, sure.
...'cause nobody else can hear.
I'm terrified of this road,
'cause I've never done good here.
Like, the road we were on,
I know that road like the back of my hand,
- I know how to make passes on it. - Yes. Yes. Yes.
I'm not good at this road.
- [Chuck] I was confident... - I'm gonna have to get good, but I'm not good at this road.
I have to drive out to this road
- and take half the power out of it to go down it. - I know.
- That's hard to do for me. - Yeah.
- Tell me what I can do to help you come up. - [Chuck] Okay.
- I think it'd be cool for us to be one and two again. - Thank you. It's on.
- Good luck, anything, let me know. - Okay.
- I'll do it, man. See ya. - [Ryan] All right.
It's funny how fast things can change.
When I called out Dave at the last race,
my car was haulin' ass
and I was ready to take over his spot
and move up this List.
But since then,
we moved to a completely different road,
we go to test, I broke a valve spring,
don't get any testing.
So, now I'm racing Dave on a brand-new sketchy road.
Look, my confidence is out the window.
But I got faith in this little small block.
If I can turn this thing down enough,
I still like my odds.
I wish his race would
hurry up and be over so that I can get mine done.
- So, are you getting antsy or are you getting bored? - Yeah. No, I'm antsy.
I'm... I don't get bored. I'm antsy.
I wanna get in the car and get mine done,
so that I can move on or do whatever.
Even on the really good roads, Chuck's kinda like me, man.
He's got problems turning his car down.
I feel like it doesn't matter what road we go to,
me and Chuck we both overpower the road.
I'd rather smoke the tires then turn it down
to where it goes slow and just gets outran.
Yeah, but I'd say you haven't done that yet.
Make a full hit and you're gonna win.
I'll be at the starting line, good luck, man.
All right.
I never wanted to be the guy to hold up the List.
But if you wanna end the season
at number one with the crown,
sometimes you gotta make unpopular decisions.
[engine running]
[cars accelerating]
What have you got?
[voice on radio] Daddy Dave.
Daddy Dave.
- Good hit. - That was [bleep] legit.
[Dave] The first hit on a new road
is always the toughest,
but it looks like the tune-up I put in the car
worked like a charm.
Chief turned the light on.
Half way down through there, this thing cooked up.
I put some more power to it.
And I when I crossed the big end,
Chuck was nowhere in sight.
I feel like that pass was good enough
and that gives me some data,
so now I can turn it up from here.
I guarantee that wasn't fast, but the first half was.
The second half, you could feel it.
Don't worry about that.
No, don't have to worry about taking that off.
Nah, we didn't use no fuel, no nothing.
[Chuck] Well, that didn't go as planned.
I turned it down too much off the starting line.
Dead hooked the tire.
Oh, [bleep].
Then the car went up in smoke.
I let off, gave Dave the easy win.
And all I did was set myself up
for an open callout.
I'll be here the rest of the night,
you can find me.
Not running from nobody.
[Murder Nova] It's a pretty bold move bringing the OG.
The car was too slow,
and that's the reason I built a new one.
It still gonna have all those same problems that it had
whenever I pulled it off the List.
But at this point, I've gotta start winning
and this is my best option.
Hey, what's dripping?
Where is it coming from?
What?
Oh, my God!
Holy [bleep].
Put your finger over it, dad. Hey, tell Boosted to hold up!
Ryan!
There's a hole in my tank. What have we got?
- A hole in your tank? - There's hole in the [bleep] tank!
- We gotta put something over it. - Yeah.
[Murder Nova] We gotta put something over it real quick.
First night back with the OG out on the streets
and we're having problems already.
We knew it wasn't gonna be easy
getting this car back from the dead,
but we got a hole in the fuel cell.
That's, like, the worst spot ever.
[Murder Nova] And the reason we don't notice it
until it's race time
is 'cause we don't fill the thing up with fuel
until it's time to go to the line.
So, hopefully, this is just an easy fix, small problem
and then we'll get on to some wins.
- [Murder Nova] I think it's right there. - [man 3] You can see it?
[Murder Nova] Oh, yeah, I can see a hole. I can see to the outside.
- [Ryan] Okay. - All right, we got [bleep].
So, smear, go... Oh, holy [bleep]!
It's all the way around.
Feel that hole [bleep] outside.
So, normally, this would need a welder-type fix.
And, now, take that [bleep] duct tape
and go around that.
[Murder Nova] But with Boosted waiting at the starting line for us,
we're gonna fill this hole any way we can.
And silicone, duct tape, whatever it takes,
we're gonna get this thing to the line.
It damn sure ain't gonna be pretty, but...
- Looking like a big ol' tampon, on there. - [Murder Nova] Yeah.
Hey, as long as it works.
[engines running]
[cars accelerating]
[Farmtruck] Murder Nova! Damn, dude.
They were skating down through there.
[voice on radio] Murder Nova by a couple buses.
Murder Nova by a couple buses.
It feels so good to get this win.
Chief bangs the light, my heart sinks a little bit,
Boosted jumped out on me, but I stayed in it.
And I came around him,
and it feels good to be back in the OG.
And makes me wonder why I ever put it up
and took it off the streets.
- Sorry, dude. - For what?
Uh, well, I landed in your lane
and you almost run over me.
I didn't expect mine to do that, really.
- I let off a button and... - What did it do?
It didn't go, I know that, so...
I was worried, I was, like, "Oh [bleep]"
And then, once it got out there,
it was all over the place,
- and so I don't know if some of the fuel... - [Boosted] Dude, I see you.
- ...got underneath it. - [Boosted] Probably.
I wanna call you out again,
but I don't think my car is safe to race tonight.
And I know you need to fix yours.
I still need to fix mine.
If you call... I mean, you know how I am, man.
If you call me out, we're racing right now.
- But I don't think that's possible. - I'm good with it, man.
- A week? - Let's take that seven days.
- Take that seven days. - I need seven days to fix this deal.
[Doc] We got left lane, right?
Mm, yeah, we got left lane.
- [Doc] Okay, I'm ready now. - Okay.
All I gotta do is put my pants on.
I'm ready, like, now.
So, last week I started off in the top five.
I raced Chuck right off the trailer.
I had a horrible pass.
When I went looking for a rematch,
Chuck and Dave had it all locked up above me.
So, I was forced to race Chief.
My pass absolutely sucked.
Had a really good start to the season,
now I'm in the bottom five and I'm racing down.
I've gotta turn this thing around
and get back in the top five.
I don't mind when I get outran,
it pisses me off when the car is mad.
And it's going left, and it's going right.
So...
let's hope we got all that [bleep] behind us.
[cars accelerating]
[Big Chief] Dominator, all right!
Pretty much had to guess at the tune-up.
Looks like I guessed wrong.
Chief banged the light.
The car didn't really hook up and go,
by the time she came alive,
Dominator was so far in front of me,
I couldn't catch him.
[Jeff] What's up, Doc?
I'd love to race ya.
[Jeff] I know you would.
[laughing]
All right.
It just makes my [bleep] night when I race you.
[Jeff] Yeah, you know it.
[Doc] Yeah, I wanna go up the List, not down,
- so I wanna get this over with, so... - [Jeff] Yeah, I get it.
I don't wanna be stuck at eight, so...
- 'Sup, man? - [Ryan] Yo, yo.
- Pass number two for the night? - [Chuck] Yeah.
Last pass, it didn't have enough in it.
- Yeah? - [Chuck] I thought it was gonna be too much.
But data doesn't lie and it dead-hooked a tire,
so I turned it up against my better judgement.
- But it's, like, data doesn't lie. - [Ryan] I know.
This is what I think, if you can get it fast early,
- it won't be [bleep] out back. - Yes. I think it will be fine.
I'm just trying to find that happy spot
where it's fast down low.
[Ryan] I got you.
So, I haven't found that yet.
So, after losing my race with Dave earlier tonight,
now I'm called out by Chief.
And now I'm getting ready
for our third race this season.
I'm 2-0 versus Chief this season.
I haven't made a solid pass yet,
but that's what we do.
On the street, you have to be able
to make changes on the fly,
adjust your car to any street, any condition.
It's about figuring out new roads
and being able to get down 'em
faster than the next guy.
I gave up my quest for number three spot today,
Dave did a good job, I didn't.
Now you're defending your fourth spot.
So, now I'm defending for a fourth spot.
Me and this road haven't get along yet, so...
- I get it. Okay. - [Chuck] We'll get there.
[Ryan] I'll help you, whatever you need. Good luck.
- [Chuck] All right, see you up there, man. - [Ryan] Yup.
- [Big Chief] You got some VHD? - [man 6] Yup.
Cool.
So, I brought the List out here to a new road
to see who will step up when things get hard.
We rock and roll.
But at the same time,
I have to figure out how to get down this road too.
This'll be my first hit on the road
since Dave outran me in the finals
of the last Cash Days.
That sounds terrible.
Last time I rolled one it was bad.
But I don't wanna talk about that.
Since then, I've changed a lot on the car.
I'm running a lock-up torque converter.
I've got a much heavier dose of nitro methane,
and last week I installed a whole new rear end
which should help me leave the starting line faster,
with more consistency.
But on a tough road like this, getting off the starting line
is usually the most difficult part.
So, I'm gonna put a softer tune-up in it than normal
and hopefully I don't knock the tires off.
[engines running]
[motors revving]
[cars accelerating]
- [Ryan] They were both hot tamales. - [Dave] What have you got?
[voice on radio] Left lane, Chucky.
[Dave] Chucky by a lot.
[Big Chief] Well, that didn't work.
As soon as I let off the button,
the car goes hard left,
I had to let off, so I didn't take Chuck,
or both of us, out at the same time.
Clearly, the tune
I thought would go right down the street
didn't work at all.
So, I gotta get back in the laptop,
turn things down
and get more races in and move up.
Shanked it into the [bleep] weeds on that one, didn't we?
I've never been that far down this road, underpowered.
So, now, I can at least go, "Okay, that a little hot,"
leave the bottom alone and then try to reel it back.
This [bleep] sucks, it wasn't what we planned.
I definitely thought I was gonna get past Joe
and be calling Chief out
or whoever was in that position.
And now I gotta freaking race Lutz again.
Earlier in the week,
I put some real high-end Penske struts on the car.
I was feeling so confident coming into this race.
I'm having such a hard time figuring out this new road.
I lost to Dominator.
Now it looks like I'm racing Lutz
for the third time this season.
He hasn't been able to get around me yet.
So, looks like I gotta beat him one more time
and continue that march up the List.
Dave's the only one that's made a full pass tonight.
It was in the left lane, I got left lane on this race.
And, you know me, how I like left lane for live,
so let's go make left lane our bitch
- and put Lutz on the trailer. - Let's do it.
[Ryan] So, you're finally getting to race tonight.
I called out Doc.
So, this is for number...
[Jeff] Seven.
- [Ryan] Seven. - I'm eight, he's seven.
He lost to Dom.
Doc didn't make a good hit, but he was in the right lane.
That's true.
Well, I left my number-one tune-up in it
- from the other night, you've seen it. - [Ryan] Yeah.
Unless he grabs a hold of something...
Yeah, if you just go, you'll be all right.
I think it'll go.
This... So far this has been
"Who makes it down the street."
- Yeah, well that's my plan, so... - [Ryan] Yeah.
So, ever since the List shakeup
I've been struggling to get back up the List
to the top five.
And, you know what?
Every time I make a move, there's Doc.
And it just seems this season he's my nemesis,
he's always in my way
and tonight I'm gonna change that.
Well, I'm gonna go out there and try and drag Doc's ass.
- Don't try, just do it. - [Jeff] Oh, no. I'm gonna do it, man.
- Thank you, guys. - Good luck, buddy.
[Jeff] I love this car,
it's just like putting on an old shoe.
Yeah.
[engines running]
[engines revving]
Yeah, I can make a guess on Lutz on that one. What have you got?
[voice on radio] Uh, Jeff, Jeff wins. Doc with a Did Not Finish.
Doc with a DNF.
[Jeff] Hell, yeah! Oh, I needed that.
Woo!
[Doc] This is a 100% night to forget.
Just ain't meant to turn down, I guess.
I'll be off the List, probably, if [bleep] keeps up.
This is for me to get my crown back,
he got it because I crossed the center line.
I feel like he's borrowing that from me.
So, I wanna go back
and get that crown so bad I can taste it,
but, you know, here's the problem.
Ba-boom! We went to this road.
This new road has been difficult for me,
I don't have a ton of data on it.
And the stakes here
are as high as they've ever been.
It's easy enough to blow a tune
on a road that you already know.
I did that last week.
But then you get out here
and I don't have a lot of data.
It makes it even harder.
You get that crown and it comes with a lot of [bleep].
Every night you go off to race,
everybody wants you off that.
Every single time.
- What lane are you in? - Left.
I got it clocked
where if it makes over 1380... it'll go.
I wouldn't touch 14,
because I'll put more... seeing that,
I'll put more in mine down low.
We didn't really win last week the way we wanted to,
with Ryan crossing the center line like that.
[Monza] Thanks, Joe.
I'm hoping we can go back out here
and both of us make a good A to B pass
and see who's actually faster.
[engines running]
[engines revving]
[voice on radio] Fireball Camaro, right lane, one.
Fireball Camaro, new number one.
[Ryan] So, the tune-up I put in this thing
was a shot in the dark. But, you know what?
Sometimes you nail it. And that's what happened here.
I let go of the button, the thing left really hard,
made a really good pass.
I look back, I don't see Monza anywhere.
But, you know what?
It feels great to have the crown back.
I kinda had a feeling that he was just borrowing it
and I was gonna end up with it back
and I got it.
So, it feels good to be on the top again.
I was bringing you cigarettes.
Don't pick on me while I'm wounded.
No, I just wanted to get that callout out of the way.
Cool. It won't be tonight.
Thanks, that was painless.
[Monza] We've had a little bit of good luck this season
and a whole lot of bad luck.
Uh, we broke something on that pass against Ryan
and now we gotta figure out what's going on with the car.
It seems we definitely... the bad luck's
outweighing the good luck we've had this year.
If we don't get this thing fixed,
then we're gonna be losing spots rapidly
and it was so hard getting up here,
I don't want that to happen, so we gotta bust our ass
and figure out what's going on.
- [Ryan] Good race, brother. - Yeah, not really, but...
I know, I know it wasn't clean on your part.
If something is loading the motor
and pulling it down, it acts like...
- In a normal car, you'd think it was running out of fuel. - Yeah.
Because I've done it three times before I...
- Like it's pulling the motor down? - [Monza] Yes.
Last week I broke the drive shaft,
we put a new drive shaft in it, this and that.
I think it hurt something in the transmission when it did.
Like, broke a sprag or something.
Well, I know you'll figure it out, man.
If you need any help, let me know.
If you want me to help look into data log
- or something like that, I will. - Okay.
- All right. - [Ryan] I know we'll get to do it again.
Hey! Enjoy that big ol' bullseye on your back again.
I already know that's what it is.
[Big Chief] Before we call it a night,
there's one more thing we gotta sort out.
Damon is out here, he's a local street racer
with a really fast big-tire Camaro
and he wants on the List.
But Kamikaze's also out here
and the El Camino is on the property.
I'm telling you right now, man.
This is a driver's race.
One hundred [bleep] percent Kamikaze
is winning this deal.
- I like my set odds. - [Murder Nova] Hey!
- When it's me in that car sometimes it's not so great. - If you're stupid like I am,
you're gonna put that car
in situations most people won't.
Yeah.
- [Chuck] That's not good. - [girl] What's wrong?
Looks like we broke a valve spring.
I know, I promised y'all I'd take you out to dinner,
but, listen, we gotta get the car fixed, okay?
So, pull your hair back.
God!
Make sure your nails are gonna be dirty after this deal.
But we gotta tear into this thing,
we're not gonna take a chance.
That way, this little girl
can go all the way to number one.
Okay, we good?
Team?
- Not if Ryan gets there first. - Team!
Not if Ryan gets there first?
Ok, look. I know you're a Ryan fan
but remember when I was number one
for, like, two seasons straight?
- Yeah, Ryan wasn't there yet. - Yeah,
he wasn't there, he wasn't number one,
because I was number one.
I know Ryan's fast. Ryan's my buddy.
But it's about Dad.
This is about Chuck
and making the Death Trap number one again, okay?
So, if we're gonna be a racing family,
and you guys are gonna be my crew,
then it's time to step up,
so put your hair in a ponytail
and let's tear into this damn thing.
Okay, Karen.
This is a driver's race.
One hundred [bleep] percent Kamikaze
is winning this deal.
- I like my set odds. - [Murder Nova] Hey!
- When it's me in that car sometimes it's not so great. - If you're stupid like I am,
you're gonna put that car
- in situations most people won't. - Yeah.
I really don't know anything about this new guy, Damon.
Uhm, I've heard his car's pretty fast on the street,
so, we'll see.
I've put literally everything I have
in the El Camino
and when I got it from Chief,
the car had quite a reputation in the 405.
So, ever since then,
I've been doing anything I can
to make this car run up the List.
I've got horsepower, I've got a lot better car.
Now I've just gotta prove it.
[Damon] We've got Kamikaze for a shot to take on the List, so...
We thought that might be an option, you know?
I mean, that was definitely in the play.
Chief brought me in
because we've been doing street racing.
Travelling, Kansas City, Oklahoma
and done quite successful with the car.
He thinks that we've got enough for the List
and we're here to prove that.
We just gotta go out there and do what we do normally.
I'm willing to pay my dues, I mean.
We'll be in good shape.
[Ryan] That was a couple of good [bleep] burnouts right there.
[Big Chief] That was a couple of good [bleep] burnouts.
This is, like, the coolest race I've flagged in a while.
- It means a lot. - [Big Chief] It could mean a whole lot.
[engines revving]
[crashing]
[repeated bleeping]
[voice on radio] Dammit, Chris.
[Kamikaze] Get me out of here.
[staff] We're gonna get EMS just to look at you real quick.
I'm all right.
- [staff] Sure? - I'm good.
[bleep]
Thank you, sir.
Nice [bleep].
I'm all right, Justin.
[man 7] No, you didn't do that with [bleep]. Who told you to do that?
[Kamikaze] I couldn't let it. I couldn't let it go.
[sighs]
[bleep]
- [Doc] Dammit, man. - [Kamikaze] That was a good one.
- That was a good one. - That was a pretty good one.
You didn't see all the destruction
that you just walked out of?
I [bleep] a lot of stuff. I know it, because I felt all of it.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- [bleep] all over your face. - I wasn't gonna leave it.
It was definitely,
after that first it was a "close your eyes and hold on" ride right there.
I can't believe I crashed that [bleep] car.
I've had a lot of cars throughout my life.
[sniffs]
That one was kinda special.
It had a little more meaning than your average car.
You know, where it came from, so...
[bleep] I let people down.
[Big Chief] That car was on the [bleep] damn teaser for this show.
I know.
[Big Chief] It's the reason we have a show.
Of all the [bleep] I could've crashed,
that's the one thing I wish I didn't.
I appreciate the chance I got to drive that car.
It means something to us.
Hell, me and Chief have literally done this
since we're 15 years old and I made the choice.
I knew I was in trouble.
Right foot stayed down.
And I paid for it, dearly.
That was literally everything I had,
my whole life's gone.
- [Big Chief] You damn scared the [bleep] out of me, dude. - [Kamikaze] I'm sorry, bro.
[Big Chief] Don't be sorry [bleep], don't.
[Kamikaze] There goes everything I had in my whole life.
Everything. Everything you had. Literally.
- [Big Chief] You know what I mean? - There's nothing like it.
[Big Chief] We all know the risk
every time we get behind a wheel
of one of these race cars.
But it doesn't make it any easier
to see one of your buddies
destroy everything he's got
and everything he's worked so hard for.
I brought the guys out to the new road
to see who would step up to the challenge
and who could make it happen quickly.
And a few of us look like
we might be getting it figured out
while others have no idea.
But with everything that went on on the List tonight,
the main thing,
and the only thing that matters,
is that Kamikaze Chris
is walking around in his own two feet
and he's still alive.
At this point we need to regroup, rethink,
let Chris load his car up, support him.
Help him get his car off the road
and come out here another day.
Next week on Street Outlaws.
Damn it!
[Big Chief] We're putting our race cars in the garage.
Maybe you can feel it in the air.
It's that time of year again.
Daily driver.
[Big Chief] And bringing out our daily drivers.
Daily golf cart coming through.
[Big Chief] Because it's time for Farmtruck and Azn's
Daily Grind.
He's cracking off like a breakfast cereal.
[Big Chief] It's about to go down.
Damn, that was a good one!
