[Chuck] But I think it starts with you.
You're the guy we followed for 20 [bleep] years. So...
[Chief] Previously on Street Outlaws.
I will be the best Big Chief you've ever seen in your life,
until we're number one on America's list.
We came home to the 405 with a new mission...
[Chuck] I can't see [bleep].
[Chief] ...and fire to win.
I'm as 405 as anybody. I'm not gonna quit.
Do we figure this out early,
or do we figure this out in the middle of the season?
- [gunshot] - [engine revving]
Holy [bleep].
[Chief] Because in the 405...
- Car looks great. - Thank you.
[Chief] ...if we're all strong, then we can all succeed.
I started 0-2, last time remember?
- [Chief] You did. - I'm 2-0.
What do you think about the first race night?
I don't know.
I thought everybody came back pretty quick,
- you know? - Yeah.
Like, these dudes are fast instantly.
As soon as we started racing, they was fast.
I figured there'd be some transition period
from Nebraska to here, but man.
Nope.
These dudes came out swinging.
It's pretty awesome.
I think Ryan and Monza are the 2-0's.
Monza's out there making it weird on them.
That's what he should be doing.
He got left home last time.
Now, he's gonna come out there and make it weird.
I think it's awesome.
On night one, it was a pretty good start
for the 405 out here in Okemah.
We eventually saw some fast passes in both lanes,
and I can't help but attribute that to the effort
these guys are working together.
Compared to years back, we're seeing
some different records and some of the same.
We got Ryan and Monza sitting at the top
with 2-0 records.
Me, Chuck, and Dave are all in the middle at 1-1,
and Damon and Shawn are at the bottom with 0-2.
And Dominator and Lutz are still waiting
to get their second race down
after we were cut off by curfew last night.
[Jackie] Ain't that weird though, because Shawn made it the first time,
- and now he's 0-2. - Yeah.
I think it's just too early, to tell.
You know what I mean?
It's gonna be hard to make any predictions
based on the guys and where we're at right now.
It's only the first race night.
Anything can happen.
Hopefully it does.
I mean, even the first race night of last season,
we wouldn't have predicted what happened at the end of it.
Nobody thought Dominator was gonna be that good, you know?
Yeah, who knows. Things could get wild.
Now, it's time to see if all these guys
can figure out what went wrong on night one,
and make changes for night two.
And on race night, it's my mission
to help all of them up their game,
so the come America's list we'll be better than ever.
Being that it's too early to tell what everybody else is gonna do,
I say we focus on what we're gonna do.
And what we're gonna do is try and make
this car go faster from 200 to 660 feet.
Clean tools, so you don't get your hands dirty.
[Jackie] Thanks.
[Chief] Raise it up, would you?
[machine whirring]
[objects clattering]
Here we set 2-0.
A lot better than last year.
100% better. We were 0-2 last year.
And all that stuff you've done in the off-season is paying off.
All the stuff we've done in the off-season,
we got the right chassis guy helping us,
all the research me and Brandon done over the winter,
figuring out what we were doing wrong,
and I just wasn't paying enough attention to detail.
So, we're kind of starting over,
got it back to our roots.
We got our mojo back, got our confidence back.
So, I think, I think it's gonna be good.
Come out here and start out 2-0 versus 0-2
just raises our confidence level through the roof.
Makes everybody keep their head up,
and just makes for a lot better atmosphere,
and gives you a lot more drive for the next race.
I figure we probably got some guys' attention.
[scoffs] You think?
[Monza] I don't care if it's Chief, Ryan, whoever it is,
we've got one goal this year,
and that's the win every time we pull up beside somebody.
And we will not be turning this car down.
We will make it go fast this season.
We're going to America's top 20,
I don't give a [bleep].
I'm pissed off about that still.
I've proved for the last 20 [bleep] years,
that I belong on the street and been on the street,
and we don't get to go.
And every time I went out of town with the 405,
you know probably who has the best record out of the 405
against out-of-towners?
- [Monza] Right here. - We've lost like two.
We struggled for a couple of weeks.
But we do got it.
So, the whole deal left a bad taste in my mouth,
and every time I pull up to that starting line,
I got that little attitude going on--
- A little chip on your shoulder? - [Monza] Yeah.
So, it really don't matter if he overpowers the road.
I'm gonna drive this bitch.
So, there's a lot of chat this year about teamwork.
Um, last year in Nebraska,
I've seen some teamwork, but none of it was at our trailer.
Last year sucked.
So, coming into this year,
me and Brandon, we've worked on the car ourself,
we're not gonna rely on anybody to help us,
because nobody wanted to help us last year.
We'll see how it goes.
But until people wanna roll in and start helping us,
we're kind of gonna stick to ourselves,
and we're only gonna help who helps us.
I guess what I'm getting at is,
when you're driving with a chip on your shoulder,
you can make a lot more things happen.
[whirring]
- Get it? - Yeah.
Make sure that we don't got any more cracks anywhere.
I mean, we obviously, had a problem for a while
with that one, and didn't notice it.
We're so stupid. We knew something was wrong.
I know, man, I know.
With the first race night in the books,
we're back in the shop welding up the crack
in the intake pipe.
[engine revving]
First race, we made a solid pass.
Good pass for the OG on that road,
and Dom still came around us on the big end.
Right lane, Dominator, by a bumper.
I felt the [bleep] traction control just holding it down.
[Nova] And the race against Monza?
Chief pulled me to the line,
but I couldn't build any boost.
[gunshot]
And basically, didn't even make a pass.
[Chuck] What the [bleep] happened there? Didn't have nothing.
It didn't sound like it was spooling up either.
It took forever.
What the [bleep] is going on with this thing, man?
How many passes have we made,
and haven't had any of these problems?
And now all of a sudden, we do.
So, it turns out we had a huge break
in one of the intake lines, couldn't build any boost,
car wouldn't spool up,
and just gave that race away.
So, we knew that OG Murder Nova
wasn't the best idea for this road out here,
but now we're losing races
because we didn't catch things like this in time.
That's part of the problem though, man.
We said, we've gotta be on our A-game.
Hopefully, some of those guys don't have their [bleep] together.
- We were those guys. - We were those guys.
Look man, right now, if I'm out there,
I grabbed my chip, and it says Murder Nova on it,
I'd turn around and go, "Yes!"
That's what I'd do if I'm one of those guys.
That's rough.
I never wanna be that guy.
[Nova] I remember whenever I was the guy that nobody wanted to draw.
Now, I feel like I look around,
and everybody is hoping to get me.
I know, I'm still the racer I've always been,
but getting this OG car turned around to catch up
to these other cars is gonna be tougher than I thought.
We have nothing we can do about it now, man. 0 and 2.
I want to sit and cry about it,
I want to sit and complain about it,
but it's not gonna change the road.
So, we're obviously just gonna have to get our [bleep] together.
This right here, was a problem.
- [Phantom] A big problem-- - [Nova] So,
we'll get our boost back
- and we'll turn it up. - I mean this will help.
We've never made more than 36, 37 pounds.
We got this tighter stater in the car now.
So we can go faster.
The new Murder Nova is set for the track.
I'm not gonna change that back to the street.
So, I'm gonna make the OG work.
We got the boost leak fixed.
So, now it's just about me making the right tune-up,
and getting some wins.
For now, we'll put some more boost to it, you know?
Or at least the boost that we're commanding.
That would be a big help.
Okay.
- [Kevin] Ready? - [Chuck] Yeah.
[whirring]
Grab one of those, grab a Zeus wrench.
- And then we'll just drain that catch can. - Okay.
Let's get that drained. Let's check it over.
Obviously, after race night number one, drawing Chief
and then drawing Damon,
I'm 1-1, obviously, I wanted to go 2-0.
But, you know, Lutz went first...
- Yeah. - Didn't make it 20 foot.
[gunshot]
[Chuck] Chief went second, he made it a 100 foot.
So, here I am, I'm the first guy
that has to try to make it down the right lane,
and after watching those two guys there,
the tune-up that I had in it,
I don't know that it would've went.
So, we finessed it so we could make a full pass,
and obviously, we did. We made a great pass.
[revving]
[gunshot]
Holy [bleep].
[Chuck] Well, that just changed everything again.
And obviously, I got beat
by a giant wing or whatever you wanna call that thing.
Like, everybody was talking about it.
But it's like, look at that [bleep] thing!
You know, like, I don't get it.
And then the race with Damon, in the left lane was obviously incredible.
We went really fast.
[engine revving]
[gunshot]
Well, Damon be sleeping.
That was a good lick.
I feel pretty good that we left 1-1.
I'd have loved to leave 2-0,
but 1-1 is a great start.
The road's coming around,
and it's actually coming around really quick.
[Chuck] Chief lit a fire under all of our asses
at the beginning of the season.
And it's our job to keep that going,
help everyone out, and make sure
we are a team going into America's list.
On the first race night,
I saw a lot of guys taking that to heart.
But look, if we wanna be the best there is out there,
we're gonna have to work as a team and every one of us
from Chief on down, is gonna have to take that to heart.
The car's doing great.
I feel like, all we're gonna do is get faster as it goes on,
and I still 100% feel we are definitely one of the top five guys.
So, let's get it ready.
Let's go over everything, drain the catch can,
and let's just check it over and get ready
and find out who we're gonna race this weekend,
and make sure we're on our game.
'Cause we may race Chief twice, we don't know.
Yeah, let's drain that,
and I'll start charging the battery.
[objects clattering]
It's gonna be a long season.
[Dave] What did you find?
- Yeah, we've got an axle seal leaking. - [Dave] Have we?
Why have we got grease along all over.
It's everywhere.
I don't know if it ripped the seal or what,
but we need to pull it out and check it.
Grease, just cover the whole wheel.
Cool. Let's see it.
- Checking on this deal. - Checking on this, huh?
[Dave] Checking on this after the race night.
[Wheeler] Yeah.
It didn't go as bad as I thought it would.
[Wheeler] No, it wasn't too bad.
I knew stepping back to ProCharger was gonna do it.
- I was happy with it. - [Wheeler] I was too.
That gives me a little bit of hope for our next race.
Yeah.
In the offseason, Ryan and I both switched
to HEMI ProCharger combination.
So you would think during the year,
we could both help each other get faster.
But we're both so competitive,
it's hard for us to work together,
especially, when we're racing each other.
- What are you doing, Ryan? - Nothing.
- You need help. - [Ryan scoffs] You wanna help me?
I mean I've got data going down through there.
- You do? Would you give me some of your data? - Yeah!
Is that a 490 in that thing?
Let's talk truth here.
We both got brand new combos.
You have a lick on this road. You went in there and went,
"Okay now I can do this."
I don't have that.
Quit talking because you're gonna talk me to
go back and get my laptop, and turn it down.
But I gotta agree with Chief.
If we all work together, we can all get faster as a team.
But who knows, later in the season,
me and Ryan could share data and get both these HEMIs hauling ass.
Everything else look good though?
Everything else looks good.
Just gotta clean this grease up,
and get it all put back together.
Successful night.
-If that's all we gotta worry about, -That's it.
- I'm good with it. - All right.
You get that order and get that fixed.
Cool.
- [Dave] Good? - [Wheeler] Yup.
[Chief] Coming up...
[gunshot]
Our road may be fast...
[Dominator] Holy [bleep].
[Chief] ...but that doesn't make it easy,
especially, when mother nature rolls in.
Tell me [bleep] everything wet. Don't do it.
[Chief] But even when the odds are stacked against us,
there's no quit in this group.
[all exclaiming] Oh, whoa, whoa!
Oh, come up--
[Javi] Found the impact.
Cool.
You may or may not have to take the air out of that.
- [Ryan] Oh, geared it up, huh? - [Javi] You can try.
You can give it a whirl.
Here, it's this side or that side.
So, 2-0?
[Ryan] 2-0.
2-0 and some new tires.
[Ryan] 2-0 and now we're putting some new tires on.
Yeah, so 2-0.
Thank God that the car actually works,
because I was worried about that to start with.
But I'm not really super happy with it.
Yeah, down low.
It's not like... I'm running Dave.
- Like that's a big deal, right? - How many up on him now?
- I think we're five up on Dave. - [Javi] All right.
Who's counting, right?
I'm still counting.
Five in a row but who's counting?
I'll take it. But I mean, I know it sounds greedy,
but the truth is...
[whirring]
I'm not super happy with the car.
So, we made a good pass. I think from 30 foot on, it's fast.
But I don't think from zero, from dead stop to 30 foot,
I don't think 60 foot is very good.
[Ryan] At the first race night, there were a lot of nerves
bringing out the new Fireball.
We've always had such good success with our program,
that anything short of the best,
really feels like a failure to us.
Luckily, the car performed exactly the way we wanted it to.
[gunshot]
[Chief] Right lane by a hood.
Whoo!
[Ryan] So, I'm a little unhappy
at how the car left the starting line.
I think we left a lot right there.
So, we're gonna try a new tire at the next race night.
So, I'm not gonna say we got lucky,
but there's eight other cars on the list
that leave better than this car does right now,
and we're still able to win our races.
So, we really gotta make some changes to the car
for the next race night.
I expect the competition to be more and more tough
every week that we go out.
Yeah, like you said, Jerry got a handle on his car,
so that means the rest of the guys are
- probably gonna keep getting a better handle on their cars. - Yeah.
Damon, I think he knew he was racing me,
and put his fastest, the fastest thing he had in it.
That's why he was right there.
And that's probably why he was right there. So...
With a new season, comes new challengers,
and while guys like Dave and Chief are always gonna be there,
you got guys like, Monza and Lutz
who are getting their act together.
Even the new guy, Damon
proved he was here to compete.
He definitely, gave me a run for my money.
[gunshot]
That's a good lick, guys.
[Javi] Damon's [bleep] fast too, man.
What's the call there?
[man on radio] Right lane by half a car.
Right lane, half a car.
- Nice [bleep] job, guys. - [Dave] Yeah.
When you run half a car on Ryan Martin,
you're doing something right.
That's right.
But what that did was, that just took his car up...
- On some other level. Yeah. - Five notches right then.
So, now this coming weekend,
he's gonna probably turn it up from there.
So, now from here, it's time to just make it faster.
Definitely, definitely.
If we can get to leave, we're gonna have a tough car
- that people are gonna have a hard time outrunning. - Yeah.
So, we'll go get this other tire put on,
and let's load it up, and I want to go test tonight.
- Sounds good, man. - Okay.
Putting one on one side, and one on the other.
Yeah, we need to go over it really good.
You're good.
I think the car performed fairly well
other than our race against Chuck and then,
- it stumbled, yeah. - Loaded up bad.
- But I think we figured that out. - [Craig] We did.
TPS was screwed up. I put a new TPS on it.
You know, we kind of put a Band-Aid on it,
made a lick against Ryan.
And I feel like we're [bleep] right there now. So--
They called it by half a car and that was...
Boy! From the starting line, it looks like you got him.
[Craig] We all thought you got him.
Because I think Chief, even in the back of his mind,
was like, "I don't know what happened here."
And sure enough, half a car, Ryan.
Well, that's what is gonna happen.
We're gonna sneak up on them.
I feel like they almost was gonna take us for granted
that we were gonna be that guy that they hope to draw.
And hopefully, now they know that's not the case,
because we made some pretty good passes.
[Damon] Now, I say it all the time,
these guys are the best at what they do,
everybody knows that.
But it's encouraging to be able to run with them still.
But with that being said, losing still sucks
no matter who it is, and we need to pick up some wins.
All we need to do is apply what we learned
from that night to this next night
- and see who we draw and... - Turn it up.
Yeah, turn it up and make a swing for it.
I really don't wanna finish this next night with a loss.
So, we kind of need to play catch up here.
We got to get a win, two wins or something ASAP.
[Damon] Yeah.
Go back over the data, see if we see anything.
But other than that, I think we're...
I think the car is ready to go.
I'm starting to feel really confident in my car.
But we're still missing that final piece,
where I get it all together
and start getting some wins under my belt.
And I think that missing piece
is just our willingness to turn it up
where we haven't been before,
and seeing what it's gonna take.
If I don't start getting some races won pretty soon,
they might think it's a mistake bringing us out,
and that's not a place I want to be.
Get the oil change done, get the new tires put on.
I'm just waiting on the filter over here.
- That's all I'm doing. - [Damon] You need a filter?
- All right, I'll get you a filter. - [Johnny] Waiting on a filter.
[Johnny] Sweet.
Somebody's shooting guns out here.
Holy crap.
And it's not you because you're in here.
You've got to be lost,
because this is nowhere near Kansas.
Well, what are you doing?
- Troubleshooting. - Hmm.
There's always something the matter with that car.
Yeah, I know. It never stops, does it?
Mm-mm.
We're never satisfied. They're never fast enough.
And there's always something that needs to be done better.
And we're always living the dream.
Sometimes it's a nightmare.
I'm like on cloud nine right now.
I mean, I've won two races in a row.
Well, I only got one race.
And I thought I was coming out of that deal 2-0.
Because I ran Shawn and I got really good data,
and then we roll up there and we're the last race of the night.
We do the burnout.
We back up and then...
[engine revving]
They don't have a shutdown.
They said we're done.
[bleep]
Look, hey.
I had [bleep] data for right now.
[Dominator] So, I'm coming into this race night
with the potential of I could have been 2-0, before coming here.
We ran into a curfew issue, it didn't work out.
But I'd bet every amount of money I had last weekend,
that was my race to have.
Last year, we got behind early...
- [Dominator] Yeah. - In Nebraska and never recuperated.
- Yeah. - So the best thing we can do
this time around,
is get ahead of the game early.
Now, I have to stare at my computer,
walk that road, determine whether or not
I should leave the same tune-up in it,
or what I need to do
because the weather hasn't been great out here
all week long.
The road may not be as good as it was
when I made my pass against Shawn.
It's gonna be a whole lot easier
to get in this deal if we're not playing catch up.
Yeah, fact.
So, if there's anything I can do,
as far as if I go before you,
I will tell you what I ran on that road.
- I will tell you how much boost I made. - Yeah.
Our cars are really close.
I mean, I got a little more motor than your car's got,
but ET-wise, we know--
We can compare.
Look, I put four pounds of boost in it or
I had to take four pounds out of it.
My car did this, here's my driveshaft graph,
here's my wheel speed. Here, look.
If it helps you, look.
- Let me see. - Everybody else wants to team up
and help each other.
So, let's do the same.
Agreed. Agreed.
- I want to see me and you in this bitch. - Absolutely.
- Because I hated the way it ended up last time. - Same.
[Chief] We're back in the streets for our second night of racing,
as we all prepare to go back to America's list.
[revving]
Only the drivers with the best record will make it.
Take that and ask him if that's okay.
At least you got something to show in there.
[Chief] But we all need to help each other and push each other to prepare.
- But he wasn't on the brake yet? - Yeah.
Went to stab it and tried to add 20% of fuel.
[Chief] Because when we work together, it makes us
all faster than we could ever be on our own.
We're gonna draw chips to determine our night tune match-ups.
Before we run any of those races,
Jeff and Dominator have to get off their second races,
just because we got cut off by curfew.
Chip draw for two rounds tonight.
But Dom and I didn't get to race last night,
so we gotta [bleep] do that first.
So.
It's always something.
- Yeah. - It'll be interesting.
[all laughing]
Okay, everybody here?
[jingling]
Yup. All right, let's get it.
[bleep]
This better be a good one.
If I race Ryan, I'll punch him in the face right before we take off.
All right, who's first?
[bleep]
- Monza. - [all murmuring] Oh, yeah.
[Nova] Who'd you drag into that nightmare?
Gonna be a good race.
Who's second?
Dominator, yeah!
- [Chuck] You're number three? - I'm number three again.
And I'm dragging Monza into this one.
- Back to back. - [Chief] Almost, not really back to back.
Who's four?
Number four.
- Yikes. - [Ryan] Shawn.
- Shawn? [bleep] - Better you than me.
Five.
[jingling]
That would be me.
Please.
- And Ryan. - [Chief] Back to back.
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, that was a back to back there.
[Chief] Uh, next, six.
Six, it's me and Dave.
- [Chief] You and Dave? - Yes, sir.
Who's seven?
Me and Chuck.
Eight. Somebody's gotta race me still, I think.
I've only got one. Is it you, again?
[bleep]
- So same. - Same.
[Monza] Who's that? Who you--
- Me and Dave again. - Oh, wow.
It will be all season.
- Just so you know. - [all laughing]
- The way this works. - Once the trend starts, it just doesn't stop.
Once the trend starts, it just goes.
You and Lutz, nine.
- That's it, right? All right. - Five and eight.
Who's 2-0?
[Chuck] Ryan and Monza.
[bleep] All right.
Yeah, good job, guys.
So who's in the middle?
- I'm one and one. - Who's feeling good?
[indistinct chatter]
- Who's 0-2? - [Dave] How you feeling? Are you feeling good?
I'm not feeling too great.
- [all laughing] - [Chuck] I'm hoping to trade data after tonight.
I am not feeling so great.
[Chief] All right, let's go.
- That was a good meeting. - Red light by tonight.
[Dominator] I'm leaving it exactly, like, I had it last night.
[Monza] Can you calm it any right in the middle?
Yes, I did that.
That was a button.
That was, that was a... He was out in front of me.
I'm like, this ain't gonna work.
That bitch went "ooh" and I was like, ooh, it's mad.
So here we are. Second race night.
I'm currently undefeated.
Even though I've only got one race in here.
I still won the race.
We ran into a curfew issue. It didn't work out.
So, we're making that race up first off the trailer, tonight.
I did. That driveshaft was like this.
Yeah, your car bounced.
So I took the launch up from 48 to 51.
I didn't want to get really stupid 'cause I haven't had that tire here.
[Monza] That's a big jump, 300 rpm.
[Monza] Your first educated guess had a little something behind it.
I mean, you knew what I just did.
[Dominator] Yeah, 100%.
And that will be able to be returned today.
[Dominator] Yes.
But he's got a master buy in his computer right now too.
Chief help any?
Yeah, that's where he's at right now.
So Monza and Brandon have been a huge help
sharing data with me so far this season.
I've agreed we're gonna do the same thing with them.
We're gonna make this a team effort.
You come together, you drive one another
to be as fast as possible
so that we can dominate everywhere we go.
I just have to do my job,
driving my car and earn my spot.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
My theory on this right now is I gotta go down.
So we have something to work with. If I--
- [Chief] Unfortunately, you have to go down. - Yes.
Even if you take the loss, you have to go down
- because if you don't go down here... - I'm [bleep].
- Your two passes after this are [bleep]. - Yeah.
- No, I agree. - You have something to go into the next to.
Okay. So then I'm just gonna drag that down to 20,
and just let it ride. Think that's enough?
It's hard to guess the boost off of mine
because mine at this boost, will run a 40 or 50.
Okay. Okay.
Just like in Nebraska,
Chief and I were working on the car together
to try to figure this deal out.
Just take four degrees out of it. So it'll be lazy. But...
The problem I'm having right now is I have no data to work off of.
[Jeff] I'm scared.
No, I feel you. If it doesn't go down the left,
then Dom goes down the right and beaches.
- [Jeff] I might look stupid. - Yeah, but then you get beat,
- and you don't get the data. - [Jeff] Yes.
Because if you can give me some data, we'll [bleep] rotate it.
That's what I wanna do.
[Jeff] Last week, I made one hit.
[gunshot]
[Jeff] And I had to lift immediately before I hit the curb.
We're putting a conservative tune in the 57
just to make it down under power.
Then I can work on turning it up more and more each time.
[car starting]
I want to elevate myself in this group of racers.
When they talk about the 405, they put me up there
with the fastest.
With Chief's help on the laptop, I think I can do it.
I mean, when it comes down to racing,
there's so many variables,
and things that can go wrong out here,
each time we pull to the line.
[revving]
So we need Lutz to win.
[engine revving]
- I don't think he can go that fast. - I should've ran.
I know.
[gunshot]
Hey Lutz, he was catching him. I don't think he caught him.
Yeah, I don't think he caught him.
[Chief] There we go.
[Chuck] He was catching him though.
We're drag racing.
[Chuck] Yeah.
[Chief] Right lane may not be a death sentence.
[Monza] That looks like [bleep].
Ah, and I was like holy [bleep]. I don't wanna race either one of them.
What's the call?
[man on radio] Left lane, half a car.
[Chief] Wow, nice job tonight.
And that was really a [bleep] hell of a pass for the first time
- for the first race of the night. - [all] Yeah.
- They both looked fast to me. - Yeah.
[all applauding]
[Jeff] I'm on cloud nine right now.
The first pair out this road never comes around
till four or five pair get down it.
And to do this is absolutely amazing,
especially, beating Dom because he's been on a rail.
I was in Nebraska with him.
That [bleep] thing looked unstoppable.
Whoo!
That was a [bleep] lick right there.
[sighs]
[bleep] Deal. I just needed to make it down.
Thanks, Rick.
In Nebraska, my [bleep] was flying,
and later on in the weeks, Chief was helping me.
And every time I got in that car, it was just amazing.
- [Jackie] Good job, Jeff. - [Jeff] Huh?
- [Jackie] Good job. - Yeah, how was it, Jackie?
[Jackie] Your wheels is up!
Nice job.
[Jeff] I knew I had a badass hot rod under me.
So, I'm back to where I was.
I'm glad to be where I'm standing right now,
and I'm 1-1.
Yeah.
I just lost.
So, there's really not much I can say about this race.
It was a damn good race.
But when you're gonna race with this group,
you've got to be on your A-game,
or you're not gonna win.
What did they call it by?
Yeah.
It's been a while since we've been on this road.
It takes time to get comfortable on the road again.
You have to be confident
that you can put a hot tune-up in it,
in order to go down this road.
[Dominator] It was. It felt really bad.
[Dominator stuttering]
Not that it didn't, it wasn't that it felt bad.
It just, it wasn't there.
Again, I can't--
- It's easy to underestimate this damn road. - [Rick] Yeah.
[Chief] Ready?
[Damon] Tails.
[coin clinking]
[Chief] It is tails.
So, you have lane choice. You don't have to pick it right now,
but you have lane choice.
[Damon] We'll let you know.
[Damon] So, race night two,
I draw Monza,
I made a good pass against Ryan,
I got good data and I think we're gonna build off of that.
When I was in the left lane, when it went out there
and it did that. It's because it got up against the plot too hard.
I raised it all up and it left, and it [bleep]
- rocketed down there, when I raced you. - Yeah.
All I did was raise the plot up.
I didn't add in no more power,
- I raised the plot and it was... - Let it eat a bit more.
Guaranteed it went a tenth and a half faster,
maybe two-tenths faster when I raced you,
than it went against Chief.
I'd go after. I mean, hey look...
Well, I'm 0-2 so I got not a lot, you know, bye now.
Yeah, raise the plot up let it breathe a little bit
- because that car doesn't drive stupid. Let it breathe. - No, I know.
- Yeah, trust me. It'll go. - All right.
Monza's setup, he makes a ton of power,
and it's really hard for guys like that
to just really want to jump out there
and be one of the first ones down.
I've never raced Monza, before.
But the fact that he's 2-0
and I'm 0-2, you know,
- I gotta make up some ground here. - Uh-huh.
I don't make as much power and I need to play that into my advantage here.
It being such an early race in the night,
I feel like we're gonna have Monza covered.
We got right lane.
It actually feels better than the left.
It'll go.
[Brandon] I know he's at least gonna have to chase you down.
Just because we're 2-0
don't mean we need to let our guard down any.
That Damon and his car is fast,
I need to be on my game. I need to stay focused.
Just like I have been at the first couple of races
and we need to get a win here.
We need to get as many wins as possible.
We want to get in that next America's top 20
and I'm not taking anybody lightly.
We're gonna swing for it every race.
[Jeff] Who you've got first pair?
- [Monza] Damon? - [Jeff] Damon, that's right.
Damon's been making some really good passes.
His car's fast,
but he is gonna see nothing
but taillights on this black Camaro tonight.
I assure you.
You know, I got the same tune-up in it from last night.
What do you think it was?
Forties.
It should be good.
Yeah, I don't like that right lane
because of my A pillar.
Is that where you're at?
Oh, for the light, You can't see the light.
I got you.
Yeah.
We shall see.
But I think you do your deal, you're gonna be just fine.
- All right, Jeff. - I watched Dom.
I watched Dominator hit the brakes out there.
[bleep] damn that right lane.
I told him to stop that out there,
just drive into the [bleep] chutes
because if you hit the brakes before the chutes,
you start hitting the brakes, then the chutes pop,
then you start [bleep] bouncing really bad.
That's the worst part about it.
If it hits before the finish line,
it's just gonna plane the tires.
Strategy.
[Jeff] Love you guys, man, you do this [bleep].
[engine starting]
Love ProChargers.
[gunshot]
- [Chuck] Oh, whoa, whoa! - [Dave] Get off the curb!
He saved it! [bleep]
[Chuck] Just scraped. Just scraped the curb.
Whoo!
What do you think of that, Mr. Damon?
What is the official call on Damon and Monza?
- [man on radio] Right lane, half a car. - Right lane, half a car.
That's a drag race.
[Damon] So, we just got our first race out of the way.
We kind of took a swing at it.
The car got a little upset
and it kissed the curb a little bit.
It was still a fast pass.
We still got good data from it
but it is not how I want to start this.
0-3 is just not gonna cut it for me.
So, I'm gonna have to take whatever we can learn from it
and apply it into this next pass against Chuck.
- [Damon] Left. - Left like a son [bleep].
- [Damon] It did... - For a [bleep] turbo car.
- [both laughing] - [Monza] Yeah, baby.
Good job.
[Monza] A world of difference from last season, huh?
- [Damon] Yeah. - [Monza] I need these [bleep] winds.
I want in this [bleep] deal this time.
[Damon] Hey, I'm rooting for you, bro.
I mean I wanna win all I can but...
[Monza] Well, you know what, Damon, what hurt me more than anything?
It's seven years of my life invested in this
and didn't get to go.
[Damon] I know it's tough.
[Monza] I was more butt-hurt than anything.
But, you and Brandon do the work,
and that's respectable, even to me and Craig,
and everything, I'm like, I like you guys a lot. So.
[Monza] You know, any [bleep] time you need anything,
we're your guys.
I never seen him. He never got any car.
- [Brandon] They called half a car. - I couldn't even hear his car.
I like Damon, he's a good guy.
But the old turbo car showed him how to 60 foot.
And it was all over at that point.
I've never seen or heard him.
I ain't mad about that, I mean, we were having some issues
and we're still trying to get a handle on the road. So.
I mean it was like, he had me by a little bit.
So, what the [bleep] do I got to lose?
Like just grab it and go.
I saw the sparks. I was expecting a lot worse
when you pulled up.
I figured we'd have a header messed up or something.
I saw sparks bigger than snot.
[chuckles]
-I saw sparks go flying. I was like-- -[Damon] Oh, golly!
- Duh. - About sawed those zoomies in half.
- Oh, with the bottle? - [Damon] Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Did they now?
[bleep] yeah, it was.
I ain't giving them nothing [bleep] easy around here.
I might not have it quite figured out yet,
but I ain't [bleep] giving it to him.
There's gonna be a time though that we get it.
We've got tunes like they got tunes, and...
Yeah.
Argh, 0-3 [bleep].
[Chief] All right, who's calling it?
Since he's going to lose let him call it.
- [Chief] We're good for you? - [Dominator] Fair enough.
[Dominator] Tails.
- [Chief] It is tails. - [Chuck] Yeah, [bleep] tails!
- I gotta win something tonight, right? - Well, yeah.
That's the last thing you're gonna win.
So here we are, race night two,
me and Dom flip.
This is the last thing Dom's gonna win against me.
He won the coin toss. He's gonna try the left.
I can go pretty fast in that right.
He put me in the right lane. He took the left lane.
I still need Ryan to look at something.
Hey, Ryan?
Ryan's helping me and hopefully,
our goal is to get this win.
And I should leave here tonight, 3-1.
So down here, you wanted to get it up out of the way...
- I did. - So it can just run.
I did, I took it. This was in it.
Last pass, see? It was right here and then, it was in it.
Did you make one pass or two in the right lane?
- One in the right and one in the left. - Yeah.
And the first one, the only reason it did that little ball the wall
is I hit the plot early. Now, I got it raised up.
- It's gonna haul ass. - Yeah.
[Monza speaking]
- But I don't like [bleep]. - Shutdowns [bleep] horrible.
Yeah, and I hate the A pilar.
Just make sure you get on your chute about 150 feet before--
Before. Yeah, I think from here to the front of your car.
- I'm gonna go ahead and pull it. - [Monza] Yeah, for sure.
Do your thing, buddy. You got this.
- If you need anything. - Thank you.
We haven't been here on this road,
in literally two years.
It still has rubber on it from two years ago,
but it wasn't sticky.
It was just like we had painted the road.
One of the things that nobody likes about this road,
is after the finish line.
If you don't get the chute out fast enough,
and you're on the brakes before the chute has plumed,
you're in for a hippity hop of a pass.
Thank you very much.
All right.
Me and Dominator ain't raced in a long [bleep] time.
Time to send Barney home.
He got the better lane. So I got nothing to lose.
I don't think so.
That's why-- I think it was not a smart choice for him
- to choose the left lane. - Yeah.
That's my opinion.
It is.
So...
And I put a lot of power for the right lane.
So, we'll be all right. Ours will go there.
And I got the scramble,
so I'm probably gonna be on the scramble this time.
Yeah, if he's next to me, I'm gonna grab it.
[engine starting]
[Chuck] Okay.
He backs up really slow.
[Dominator] Nothing against Chuck, but of all my races tonight,
this is the most winnable.
So, Lutz has already kicked my ass and I've got Ryan next.
So, if I can't get around Chuck, the losses are gonna pile up.
He's not even nice to that [bleep] at all.
[Dominator] And trying to climb out of that hole,
is a recipe for not going to America's list again.
Ready?
Are you ready?
[gunshot]
- [Wheeler] Oh, my God. - [Brandon] He's still down there.
[creaking]
[crew] Come on, Joe, is he gonna make it?
Son of a bitch!
[bleep]
[man on radio] Right lane by a car.
[bleep] He's good.
[all laughing]
[Chuck] I'll be honest with you.
I think you made a mistake taking the left lane.
I think you're really fast in the right lane.
You chose that lane because everybody's saying it's better.
[Dominator] Yeah.
[Chuck] But if I race you,
I'm putting your ass in the left lane,
and I know what it will happen.
Good job, Dom.
[Dominator] Thanks man, you too.
[Chuck] Love you, brother.
- [crew] Damn, it was moving. - [all murmuring]
That's what I told him. I was like, I'm telling you right now,
you stand up at the [bleep] start line, and watch Chuck
'cause he's gonna drive that car sideways like this,
spinning the [bleep] tires the whole [bleep] way
with 300 [bleep] mile an hour of wheel speed,
and it still moves and it still goes,
but it doesn't ever [bleep] lose control.
If I had 200 mile an hour wheel speed,
I'd spin that bitch around in circles.
[all applauding]
[Chuck] Chief bangs the light, I took off,
I never saw Dominator,
I don't know if he was a bit late on the light,
but my car hauled ass, it moved around a little bit,
but the tune Ryan and I put in was perfect.
A to B, pull the chutes, don't see him, don't hear him.
Here I am, two and one starting off the night great.
[grunts]
Like a fart in a whirlwind!
Those small blocks still got it.
That's how you do it.
Yeah, I talk to myself all the [bleep] time.
[all applauding]
So, the power came in good, but I was so late on the light.
There was no catching Chuck.
It hiked the front end up about 200 feet out.
[Dominator] This is not how this is supposed to go.
Just late? Like, I can't go and crank it.
I mean, I'm so late on the [bleep] light,
I've seen Chuck out like two cars?
I've lost two races already.
And my third race tonight is with Ryan Martin.
So, I'm getting plenty of help
from all the other guys,
mainly from Monza.
But at this point in time, I'm still not getting it done.
You start losing against a group of guys like this
and it'll get away from you way before you know it.
Ryan Martin may have all these records.
He may be kicking everybody's ass,
but the truth is, in the street,
if I do my job, I can still beat him.
I got a few more races until we're up again.
I've gotta spend my time staring at the laptop,
get the tune-up just right.
[Jeff] That a nice lick.
- Look good. - Yeah, that was.
Yeah, the bitch run.
[Damon] Are you being a smartass?
[Jeff] No.
I know I'm being a smartass.
[Damon] Well, it makes me feel like last night wasn't a fluke
with Ryan, you know what I mean?
I know those two are one and two.
I don't think anybody thought it was a fluke, man.
- No, I mean everybody-- - [Jeff] You're fine.
Everybody gave you
[bleep] props for a reason.
[Dave] Still early.
[Damon] It is [bleep].
Anyway, [bleep].
If I'm 0-9, I'll still make that same pass.
[Damon] Yeah.
It makes [bleep] dig deep.
- [Monza] Good? - [Dominator] Yeah.
I'm not turning mine up. I'm gonna run the same tune-up
I've been running and see how fast he is.
- And see if he can beat that tune-up. - Yeah.
Because I'm running 170 mile an hour now.
I'm afraid to put any more mile an hour down there.
[Dominator] Yeah.
[clanking]
We'll see what happens.
Worst case scenario, I'm gonna leave here 3-1.
[Monza] The second race of the night,
we're third pair down the road.
And we've got Chief.
So, we're gonna get our race night over early,
be able to sit down over there on the curb, and watch,
and kind of grasp what everybody else's cars are doing.
Get this [bleep] over with.
Yeah, I'm cool with this.
At least, for one, we're gonna be done.
I can relax, I can see what the road's gonna do with everybody else's cars.
[Monza] Yeah, no, we're good.
We've gotta find out who's flagging,
who's gonna help you because this is Chief, so we're gonna...
They have not asked Joe and Joe's next race.
So, he don't want to flag.
Anybody that races Chief knows he's fast,
and we're not turning the car down.
We're not gonna turn it up a whole lot.
Our goal right here is to see where we stand next to
our badass on the list.
[Monza] Who's flagging?
Dominator did for him yesterday,
but whoever you want really.
I don't know if he will because he is the next race.
All I'm asking is if you do--
- I'll go way out there. I know what we need. - Thanks, okay.
- Yeah, I'll flag it. - All right.
Jeff is not really a fan of the...
- [Jackie] Dave does the weird-- - [Jeff] He does that.
- He like leans back. - [Jeff] He likes that weird thing.
You can't guess it though, I guess 'cause he's like...
Bam!
Well, yeah.
Farm Truck has a weird one too.
[Brandon] [bleep]
[Jackie] Spin in a circle thing?
It's like, he's like...
Quick on it too.
I mean Justin's gonna guess on everybody, come on.
Yeah, man.
But if I try to wait, I'm [bleep].
No. I'm watching.
You can't wait because you are so late if you wait, you know?
Oh, God.
Better get this [bleep] box ready, huh?
Yeah.
He's tuning.
- [Jeff] It's gonna be a good race. - [Jackie] Mm-hmm.
- [Jeff] I know-- - [Jackie] And Monza is 2-0.
Yeah, oh yeah. That's right. No, he's 3-0.
- Is he? Oh, he actually already raced today. - Yeah.
It's a lot of pressure.
He's gonna be 4-0 if he [bleep] up.
Suck it up, buttercup.
Like no pressure, but might be undefeated
if you don't do your job.
He'll do his job, you know?
- He's one of the best at it. That's for sure. - [Jackie] Mm-hmm.
That wing is so [bleep] damn ugly, Jackie.
Why did you let him put that on it?
- I fought him for like two months, I promise. - Oh, my God.
Ugh.
[Chief] I pulled Monza for my first race of the night,
and if this were last season, that'd be a great draw for me.
But things have changed quite a bit,
and Monza is flying lately.
So, I'm stressing out about The Crow.
I put this giant wing on my car,
and I'm still dialing in the tune-up.
All right.
You tuned it up?
- Yeah. - [sighs]
What's it to you?
[Chief] I got one good pass to work off of,
but I'm still trying to dial in the big end,
so that I can go faster than I ever have before.
[Chief] We're good.
[both] Good luck.
[Chief] If I can't get faster in the second half of the run,
then what's the point of all the changes that I made?
- [Chief] Let's do it. - Good luck.
- Thank you. Love you. - [Jackie] Try it again.
[door shuts]
All right, Mr. Crow, how are you feeling?
Let's go do this.
[engine starting]
- [man on radio] I'm ready. We're ready. - [Chief] [bleep] Yeah.
Do this [bleep].
[engine starting]
[Ryan] Brandon, what you put in it?
Yeah.
Just nitpicking at it.
I ain't got no reason to be mean to her right now.
[Ryan] Get it.
[engine revving]
[screeching]
[engine revving]
[Chuck] Chief's gonna guess on the light.
Trying to get both tires in case he jumps.
[engine revving]
[gunshot]
- [Brandon] I think he jumped it. - [Chuck] He jumped it.
Yup.
[Chuck] I feel like that light was supposed to come on
- a little bit earlier. - [Jackie] Fast.
[Chuck] Yeah. The light didn't come on,
and you put it up, and then
he took off and then you turn on the light.
I thought you were gonna fall.
- Oh [bleep]. - Careful.
I just wanted to make sure Monza could see me.
- He was-- - [Jackie] It's not your fault.
- Don't let them think it's your fault. - No.
It's not your fault by no means.
Yeah.
- Chief's like I'm not waiting. - Oh, yeah.
It's hard to sit there and wait.
[Monza] You jumped.
[Chief] Nailing the light has always been my thing.
I practice it all the time and I'm usually all over it.
[revving]
But tonight I think Jeff stumbled a little as he was running back,
and it delayed the light just a hair and so I left early.
[gunshot]
It sucks, but this car made a lick,
and it seems like the wind was keeping me planing on the big end,
but Monza is 4-0.
Wow! I never thought I'd be saying that.
I was right at your back bumper.
I'm [bleep] tickled to stay that close to that [bleep].
[Chief] I knew you were [bleep] as fast as [bleep].
[Monza] Am I getting any better? [bleep]
Man, you're killing it, bro.
What do you mean you're getting better? You're [bleep].
You're the man right now.
[Monza] We are not doing... I have not added any power.
All we're doing is going in, and fine tuning a little [bleep]
- and trying to-- - Optimize your combo, sir.
[Monza] Exactly what we're doing.
That's how you go [bleep].
That's how you win races.
Optimize your combo. I've been doing it for 10 years.
Right now, we're sitting 4-0.
We just got the win against Chief.
He jumped the light.
It's not really the way I wanted to win that race,
but obviously, he was concerned about this car,
or he wouldn't have been guessing the light.
You got lucky, no [bleep].
[bleep] Four and zero!
[Monza] My car has been making
some blistering passes down through here.
All our winter upgrades and [bleep]
are 100% paying off.
In all that jump, and I was still right at his back bumper.
Yeah, good job.
His left harder down low.
I know he jumped, but you definitely were rolling on the big end,
and you were catching him back all the way.
This is coming around.
- [Monza] Thank you. - [Chuck] Good job.
Last year at this time, we were like 1-3,
when we were trying to race off into this deal.
Now, we're 4-0 so that's like...
Bam!
As far as I'm concerned, that's like 300% better.
Brandon is killing it on the computer,
I'm doing my job inside the car, so we're pumped.
- [Jackie] Open it. - [Chief] No!
- [Jackie] I have to tell you! - No, you're gonna kick my ass!
You're usually dead on that light. It's like, whenever that is,
- you're dead on it. - I get it. You had to go.
I had places to be, I guess.
Hey, it [bleep] hauled ass, bro.
Yeah, it's fast ain't it?
- Yeah, it's fast. We're making progress for sure [bleep]. - [Jeff] All right.
Now, Ryan's scared. He's waiting on the rain to come
- is what's happening. - Yeah.
Look, how slow he's walking down here
trying to let it rain.
You trying to slow this deal down so it'll rain?
[Ryan] Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
- Don't be scared. - [Ryan] Sorry!
It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen,
whether it's tonight or you know--
[Ryan] I know you're gonna kick my ass!
Let's [bleep] do it.
- I'm good with him calling it. - Okay.
[Ryan] Heads.
[Chuck] Heads.
- Okay. - We know what we're doing, right?
- You going right, I'm going left. - Absolutely.
- [Ryan] How long till you're ready? - I'm good now.
- [Ryan] Okay. - I don't care.
So two minutes or three minutes.
I'll come rolling through here.
Let's get it over with. [bleep] the rain. Let's do it.
I'm ready.
[Ryan] We know that the rain is moving in, but Shawn and I
are trying to hurry up and get this race off before it gets too wet.
The road is really good right now
from the passes I've seen the other guys make,
and if Shawn and I don't hurry up and get this race off,
we're gonna race first off the trailer on a real green road.
And that road may be dusty from all the cars
driving up and down while we're not here.
I'm gonna let him go by because he's doing two burnouts.
I'm just gonna do one.
You might need your windshield wipers.
We'll head on up that way.
- He's asking me? - Yeah.
I'm [bleep] good. Let's do it.
So, let's get this [bleep] done.
At least I need to see what the car's gonna do.
That way I'll have a couple of days to make sure it's gonna go straight.
It ain't [bleep] worth it. No [bleep] way I'd race in this.
Look at that.
Tell me that [bleep] road anywhere. Don't do it.
[bleep] Pouring now.
It's up to Ryan. I'm not gonna tell Ryan
whether he should race his car or not.
It's [bleep] pouring rain back here.
Is it not raining up there?
[Nova] Come here.
[Nova] Okay. I'm good with that then.
I would never [bleep] tell somebody to race their car
if they don't feel comfortable.
I've been in the [bleep] rain in this bitch.
Hey, let's roll this down. I'm gonna pull it in.
Hey, I'll never make that decision for you, man.
[Ryan stuttering] Well, I had... Javi's going no and [bleep]
-Jeff's telling me no-- -It'd be stupid to do it. I'm just stupid.
I mean, you've got a brand new [bleep] car there [bleep] you know what I mean? No.
If it's a little bit of light, tiny drops, that ain't no big deal.
But I guess this is a little more.
It's way more than what I thought.
But you know, I'm [bleep] stupid and I've done worse.
- [Nova] You know what I mean? - [Ryan] I get it.
Well, I mean, ain't neither one of you
or I gonna learn anything
going down on that.
So, it ain't gonna be good for either one of us.
[Nova] But what's it look like up there?
Do you think any of that rain got on the road?
- Nah. - No.
They got that big bully, burly dog thing--
They got a big old tarp strung out there.
[Nova] Oh, yeah.
[squeaking]
What was that?
That don't sound good.
- It's wet. Yeah. - [Nova] That's what I'm saying.
[squeaking]
So it's a little bit of a rain delay.
It's not gonna affect me at all.
At this point, I have a good tune-up for the car,
and it's basically, the fastest tune-up that I have.
Wondering if anybody has got radar,
to see if anything else is coming.
So, on this road out here,
I have to try something against Ryan.
Ryan's been making good fast passes.
He's undefeated at this time
and I've gotta take a shot at it.
Oh yeah, we probably should go.
[Dave] We'll be out of here before anything else comes.
- [Nova] Oh, three o'clock? - Yeah.
[Nova] Oh.
[Ryan] So, it looks like the rain came in, and went pretty quick.
So there wasn't much rain on the ground to dry up.
Looks like it's dried off pretty well.
I think we can get this race off.
[engine revving]
[bleep]
[Monza] Damn.
So loud! Love it.
I had a [bleep] cavity fall out. [bleep] damn.
He's mad at that thing.
[gunshot]
Whoa [bleep].
I told you, I told you.
Man, if he [bleep] let that Murder Nova outrun him,
I'm kicking your ass, Javi.
I bet at half-track
it looked like a different picture.
Holy [bleep].
What's the call on that deal?
[man on radio] Standby.
- [Chief] Yeah, I told you. - What's he saying?
Standby. Murder Nova Ryan Martin, that [bleep] close?
- [man on radio] Standby. - Standby again. He's nervous.
[man on radio] Left lane, half a car.
- [Chuck] Whoo! - Nice [bleep].
[Chief] Left lane, half a car.
[Dominator] Good job, man. Damn!
That's a huge [bleep] change. That was legit.
Yeah, that was [bleep].
[Ryan] Did you make a lick?
I mean, it shook on the big end
and you know.
Of course, you drove around me.
But yeah, I mean, compared to [bleep].
[Ryan] Thought you were... Honestly, your car's black.
- So, I thought I saw you for a second. - [Nova] Yeah.
I thought you might have been out of me. I don't know.
- I think, if I didn't jump, it was really [bleep] close. - [Ryan] Yeah.
So, I'm pretty sure that I was out on you for a little bit.
- [Nova] Did you make a good one though? - Yeah, that was a good pass.
- [Nova] Oh, you did? Okay. - [Ryan] Yeah.
It was a clean, checked out, and I turned it up.
Mine did good. It got a little bit squirrely,
when it got out there and then it [bleep] shook man.
I don't, why the [bleep] is it shaking?
- [Ryan] Could you tell like you got your boost back-- - Yeah, I think so.
- At least I got some [bleep] data now, you know? - [Ryan] Right.
I can at least go look.
[Chief] Of course, my question right now is,
is Murder Nova fast or Ryan slow?
Exactly.
- [Chief] We know Murder Nova is not fast. - [Jeff] Right.
- [Chief] Right? Am I right? - Yeah.
[Nova] We don't really know what the car is gonna do,
considering the first two passes are worthless.
We let off the button, I left on Ryan,
it shakes a little bit,
but I couldn't be happier with how the car is doing.
I just got beat by a car against Ryan.
So, I'm gonna have to figure something out,
and figure it out fast on how to go faster on this road
than I've ever even been at the track.
- [Nova] Wasn't too bad, man. - Get this old girl turned up.
Hey, if it wouldn't have shook on the big end,
I 100% felt it lay over because it shook.
So, when it shakes man, it ain't accelerating.
But hey, we're gonna get some data now,
and we're gonna see what happens.
But we gotta figure out... I need this valve cover off.
3-0.
[Ryan] I changed the tires after last race night,
because the car just left slow.
Turns out that wasn't the problem
because tonight with new tires,
it's still left just as slow.
From the outside how does it look?
Called it a half car.
I think every race apparently that I have, is a half a car.
ProCharge cars are supposed to be fast off the button,
and mine just wasn't.
Luckily, I gotta win against Shawn,
but there's definitely something that I'm doing wrong and I gotta figure it out.
Yeah, I know. That's weird. I didn't really see him.
But I mean, his car is black.
[Jeff whistling]
Are you nervous?
It's just another race, right?
It's, it's where you stack up.
I watched your passes.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I know. I got my work cut out for me.
What are you right now?
1-1.
- I lost yesterday to Monza-- - Oh, that's why 1-1, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah, damn Ryan.
- Yeah, oh he got you? - I hate him.
[both laughing]
- So, we're both 1-1? - Yeah.
- Nice. - That's interesting, huh?
Old Monza, he's sitting pretty.
- 4-0 are you [bleep] kidding me? - Yeah.
Who would've thought?
After that show he put on
- in Nebraska? - Nebraska.
He did his homework. They're doing good, man.
Everything is like a 180 flip.
- Monza's doing good. - Yeah.
Joe is doing good.
Chuck's doing good.
Yeah.
Shawn's sucking.
- Yeah, for now. - That pass right there?
That was hauling ass.
Yeah, looked good.
- [Chief] All right, gentlemen. - [Jeff] Who's calling it?
[Chief] Who's calling it?
- I'll call. - All right.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah.
Heads.
[coin clinks]
- Tails it is. - [grunting]
- I will take the left. - Okay.
- [Chief] Lutz goes... - [all grunt]
[Jeff] Perfect.
- [Chief] You good? - [Dave] Yes.
- [Dave] I gotta be, right? - Yeah, you gotta be.
[Chief] I don't think he's gone down the right, has he? Uh, no.
He went down the left and Ryan beat him.
And then Murder Nova almost beat Ryan.
There's weird [bleep] happening all over the place.
[Jeff] Okay.
- [Chief] I think we're good. - Okay.
Let's do this.
[Jeff] Look coming into the season,
we thought, that all the ProCharger guys would be untouchable.
Let's see how fast these ProCharger cars really are.
Prove them wrong.
[Jeff] But Murder Nova,
just almost outran Ryan.
So, maybe that's saying something.
They look fast.
They look that. They sound fast for sure.
Oh, they definitely, sound fast.
Maybe Dave and Ryan abandoned their turbo setups a little too early.
I'm feeling good about my car,
and I'm about to put one on Dave.
[Jackie] Do you want do one burnout or two burnout?
I'll leave that up to you.
- You tell me when we're up there. - [Jackie] Okay.
- [Jeff] Hey, Jackie? - [Jackie] Yeah?
We could do what he does. We could get in his head and pull up there.
- [Jackie] Do it. - [Jeff] He always does it to Chief.
[engine starting]
[Dave] Right lane!
Race night two, I got Jeff Lutz.
He took the left lane and put me in the right.
I have not been down the right lane, yet.
I know Shawn put a 37 in his, it and it went like.
- He had Ryan [bleep] up for a couple of 100 feet. - Really?
[Dave] Shawn come over and told me that he put a 437 tune-up in his car,
and the road took it.
So, that tells me I can turn mine up.
- [Monza] What did I think I went? Between 41 and 44. - [Dave] How fast you can do--
We're running the 446 I told you we ran at Thunder Valley.
That's what's in it. We've just been fine tuning.
We haven't strayed from it. We're making 21.6 out the back.
Go see what Ryan just...
About 160 plus off the back.
I know Shawn's pretty salty right there.
Oh, you ever gonna have to get after him harder than me.
[Dave] Chief and Lutz are working together again this year,
and have kind of closed themselves off to the rest of us.
But the rest of the guys have been really good about sharing the data.
So every time each one of us go out, we put the best tune-up we can in the car.
[engine revving]
[tires screeching]
A good straight bar now helping a lot too, you know?
Did you see his starts doing this?
It gets too hot.
[engine revving]
[gunshot]
[Dave] Jerry, how much weight have you put on?
About 20 pounds.
They say the camera makes you look fat, but damn!
I'm not looking through a camera, brother.
Me and Jerry have raced against each other for a long time.
And normally, we're trying to beat one another.
[Dave laughing]
I love you though, Jerry.
Thanks, buddy.
But, anytime we get a chance to joke and cut up,
we're gonna take it.
It's a good reminder that we're all good buddies, and we're close
before we're competitors.
I ain't ate in a week to try to get rid of mine.
Winter was good.
[gunshot]
Whoo!
They may have [bleep] that time.
[Chief] What's the call?
[man on radio] Right lane by a car and a half.
[Chief] Right lane, car and a half.
Nice job.
[Jeff] Now, that was a drag race.
[Dave] That bass was 40.
[Jeff] Man, that was one hell of a race.
We both left dead even.
And man, it was neck and neck the whole way.
I'll give it to Dave. He was hauling ass.
He got me by a car length.
He was better tonight.
I'm just happy to make it down under power,
and it was a close race.
I can use the data to go faster next time.
And that's a win for me, right now.
And we're gonna be flying here, soon enough.
[objects clanking]
- Want some pushing, Jeff? - [Jeff] What?
- Want to push it? - [Jeff] Yes.
- How'd that look? - [Jeff] Pretty [bleep] good.
- Call that one. - [Jeff] Okay.
- [Jeff] Did they call? - Yeah, they said Dave.
- Like a car and a half. - [Jeff] A car and a half?
Yeah.
Car and a half my ass.
[Dave] We made one of the fastest passes.
My car is working really good. It is hauling ass.
Getting his first wins right off the bat says a lot.
And everybody is only gonna get faster.
So, I gotta be on my game. Like the car is working,
and I'm really excited to get another race off.
- That bitch made me drive it. - Oh, yeah?
That thing was sporty up there.
- It took it it just rattled the hell out of it. - Yeah.
I mean the [bleep] was fast until out there,
and that really started moving around and I was like, "Oh whoa!"
I know, that's what I was doing.
Like I was hanging on!
Let's get her turned around for [bleep] Chief.
Eight?
- [Dave] He's just seen what we did, so. - Yeah.
He ain't gonna turn this down.
- You good? - I'm good, yeah.
I'm just, yeah, I'm fighting myself.
- My inner "me" are like-- - [Chuck] Hey man, your car's [bleep] fast.
You're not fighting yourself. Just be you, it's fine.
You're consistent, it's fast.
Yeah, it is what it is.
Who is calling this?
[Ryan] Dom drove the farthest.
- All right, call it in the air. - All right, tails.
It is tails.
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice.
[Dominator] You feel like my car's faster?
Your [bleep] car's faster in the right lane.
I'm just telling you, you stuck the tire in the left lane.
The left lane is too good.
Your car likes a little bit of loose,
you will go faster in the left lane.
But my hippity-hop at the other end was way ugly in the left.
So yeah, I'll go right.
- I just think you're faster on the right. - No, I agree.
Okay, I need about five minutes roughly.
[Chuck] Good luck, guys.
- That last one it only went to 5000. - Oh.
So, I took the launch rpm up.
[Dominator] I'm racing three times in one night.
It's a two sided coin.
You're making a lot of passes in one night?
That's a lot of work.
But you're also making your third pass.
You've got two passes worth of data, not just one.
It has a good side and it has a bad side.
It's either gonna [bleep] go or it's gonna smoke the tire.
One of the two.
That sprinkle don't concern me none.
Yeah, that's not bad.
[Dave] If Dominator pulls one out of his ass,
and gives you your first loss.
If he does, it's gonna be because I shank it right here.
[Dave] Yeah.
Because I'm getting ready to try something
that might not work.
- [Dave] Oh, I won't yell at you then. - Okay.
[woman 1] Listen, be strong.
It's not acceptable because it's Ryan Martin.
That ain't how it [bleep] works.
I'm gonna tear his ass up.
[Dave] It's Dominator.
- And I don't mean that, you know how it is like. - [Dave] Yeah.
You gotta pick your races.
I'm preparing to race you and Chief,
- when I draw you guys. - Yeah.
Yeah, and I hate it but that is just the way it is.
So, maybe if it knocks the tires off,
I'll be able to pedal it or something.
I ain't had to pedal that old ProCharger yet.
I know, I haven't neither.
I'm sure them things are pretty mean when you pedal them.
I guess it's time for me to try to see
- if I can pedal it or not. - [Dave] I'll be up there.
[Ryan] Okay.
[Ryan] There are no spots at America's list guaranteed.
So, I can't take my foot off the gas now.
- [Ryan] Fuel good? - Yeah.
[Ryan] Dave and I are trading notes on our ProCharge setups
and it's giving me a little more confidence
to turn this thing up out of the hole.
I'm taking a big swing at this pass,
and I don't know if it's gonna hold.
I don't know if I'm gonna get the W,
or if I'm gonna give away a pass against Dominator
just because I got too greedy.
[car engine starting]
[tires screeching]
[engine revving]
[gunshot]
- Holy [bleep]. - [bleep] damn!
Man, they're giving them hell, man. They're giving them hell.
What's the call?
[man on radio] Left lane by a fender.
- Left lane by a fender, nice job. - [all] Nice job.
Left lane by a fender. Good job.
[Chuck] Everybody out here is too [bleep] damn fast.
[Dave] Ryan be sleeping. [laughs]
Oh man, you'll get him.
I mean that's a [bleep] hard car to race, you know?
- Hey, I'll take that. - Yeah.
- I'd take that. - [Jackie] I would take that.
[Ryan] This is the fastest pass that I've made on this road,
but I gotta hand it to Dom for keeping it as close as he did.
When we took off at the starting line,
I think Dom got me a little bit off the button,
but I was right there with him.
My car felt a little better off the starting line
and finally went straight.
About halfway down the road, I moved ahead of him,
and this one was in the books.
I think we're getting there.
There's still a lot that I need to figure out
with all these new changes to the car.
But all in all, I'm happy to be 4-0 in this competition.
- [Dave] He's gotta be happy about this [bleep]. - Yeah, Joe's gotta be happy.
He's [bleep] on the light finally, and made a [bleep] good pass.
[Dominator] So, I made a lot of improvements
in this race against Ryan, but a loss is still a loss.
That being said, they were both fast passes and that still gives me hope.
By a fender huh, Dom?
I don't know. [stuttering]
I don't know.
[crew] A loss to him by half a car
or even fender, whatever it is,
is way better than not getting off the start line.
The loss is still the same,
but you can build off of what you just lost.
Maybe.
[Ryan] 4-0.
Thanks, buddy.
So, it looked a lot better or a little better out of the hole?
- Little better. Starting to bring it in front end in. - [Ryan] Yeah.
- But I don't know if I did that with the bars or if-- - [Ryan] No.
- The combination of [bleep]. - [Ryan] One, two [bleep].
- Yeah, I know it's crazy. - [Javi] Yeah, I know.
Go ahead and do your thing, what you're doing.
I still ain't got this thing figured out.
That's [bleep].
[Javi] I wouldn't say we're getting by.
We're making good hits, but it's not--
I do feel like, I mean...
I kind of feel like we're getting by just because I'm not,
- I haven't been happy with the way it leaves yet. - [Javi] Yeah, me neither.
But, yeah...
[Chief] There's still one last race of the night,
Chuck and Damon, but rain is on the horizon.
So we need to move quick.
[Chuck] You got the pimp juice?
Okay.
So, when you hear him coming up the tires at 64.
So, after my pass with Dominator,
I definitely, see where I can make a few changes in the tune-up.
So, look, I've already beaten Damon once.
So, I feel like I don't have nothing to lose
even if he can get around me.
So, I'm gonna take a couple of chances,
put a little bit more power in the car in certain areas,
and make this thing go faster.
So, if I have to race somebody faster the next weekend,
then uh, look, I'm gonna have the testing already done for that race.
- [Chuck] It's [bleep] raining. - [Dave] Oh yeah, I know.
- He'll wait. - [Chuck] Huh?
He'll wait.
[Chuck] I don't want that Damon guy to have no excuses
because this was gonna be...
I mean, that other one was pretty fast.
This one gonna be a little faster.
[Dave] Hey, they can't say we ain't trying.
We're out here in the [bleep] rain.
- [Chuck] Well, nobody needs to get hurt. - [Dave] No, no.
No.
Hang on.
- [Chuck] Yeah. - [Dave] You gotta wait for the [bleep] to quit.
You can see the water on there.
- See the sprinkles. - [Chuck] Okay, well, yeah.
Probably, not the smartest thing we've ever done, but...
[Dave] Damon, sit over there for a minute and get nervous.
- [Chuck] About what? - About this vanilla car.
Vanilla? [bleep]
[Dave] That's why that's vanilla.
[Chuck] No, this [bleep] is salty.
This ain't vanilla. It's salty.
Hey, it's [bleep] raining.
Me and Damon are sitting at the starting line,
fixing to start up our cars and race,
and mother nature says no. It starts to sprinkle.
We sat there for a little bit, try to wait it out.
It starts raining harder and harder.
Man, I feel like I had the right tune-up, the road is good,
and Damon was fixing to see how fast my car was
and mother nature is not gonna let it happen tonight.
[Chief] I mean, look at it.
Even if it didn't rain anymore right now,
they're not gonna run in the next 10 minutes.
Well, it's looking like for the second time in a row,
we're not going to get a full race night off.
Last night, we hit curfew and tonight,
after the rain threatened all night, it finally rained.
And again, it's looking like we're not gonna finish this anytime soon.
So, we'll have to make up the races next time.
But what we did see tonight, was pretty damn impressive.
Dominator and Shawn ran within a car length of Ryan
who's making stupid fast passes on his new setup.
Monza remains undefeated,
and we're seeing all these guys share data
and helping each other get faster.
At this rate, nobody in the country
is gonna want a piece of the 405.
[Chief] Next time...
As America's list draws closer...
Let me bump it up.
I'm [bleep] going for it.
[Chief] The intensity heats up.
Boy's about to get [bleep] up.
[Dave laughing] Show me.
[revving]
I know I got you.
[laughing]
That was fast as [bleep].
[gunshot]
[Chief] And one false move could spell disaster.
[tires screeching]
[screaming] Oh, my God!
[Chief] Go under the hood and find out how we make our cars so freaking fast
