[man speaking]
[engines revving]
[man] No, no, no, no [bleep] everybody out.
- [man 1] Oh, no. - [man 2] Damn.
[man 3] Oh, this is a bad one.
[woman] Jeff.
No, [bleep].
You were so lucky.
[sobbing]
[rock music playing]
[Big Chief] What we doin'?
[Jackie] Working on my nitrous lines.
You're looking... You're looking for an 11/16?
How'd you know?
- It's like you're psychic. - 'Cause it's a nitrous car.
Everything on it is 11/16s.
Yeah, that's the one thing I was missing from the cart.
What are you doing?
Small-block Chevy in?
What are you doing?
Why are you working on it without me?
- Yeah, it's pretty close, you know? - Hmm.
Here we are heading into another night
of hard-fought street racing.
As of right now,
Ryan and Monza
remain the only undefeated drivers.
And Chuck is 3-1.
There was a few of us that got two wins,
me, Dave, Jeff, what...
We all got two wins.
Dominator...
and Damon are down at the bottom
but they're not out by any means.
Murder Nova has yet to pick up his first win.
Any of the guys in the bottom half
could go on a winning streak and the whole thing
with a top five record,
and they gotta start winning quickly
if they hope to stay alive.
Heard anything from Lutz?
How's he doing?
He texted that he was good...
Well, I mean, not good but better.
I'm sure no part of that's good but he's tough.
You know how crazy he is though.
He'll rebuild something and...
be right back at it.
He will bounce back quick.
There's no way to describe
what all goes into
walking one of these cars up.
He just lost...
one of the biggest things in his life,
you know what I mean?
Something that he built with his hands
to make money on the street with
and to do what he loves, so.
He's gonna have to come up with something.
You know, you have to win these races
to go to America's List
and he didn't go to the first one,
so it's even more for him, you know?
And every time that I help him,
he tells me how bad he wants to go to America's List.
Now he's not gonna go.
Why?
Well, he doesn't... I mean, he crashed his car.
He has his other car though.
What other car?
The Mad Max or whatever, that's a promo.
- It's got a carbon fiber body. - No, the GTO.
Oh, yeah.
The NPK car.
Is that allowed though?
Like how does that work out, you know,
because technically with Lister rules,
he would be starting over but it's not a list right now,
so what does that mean?
What we're doing here is
we're racking up wins and losses
to see who goes to represent
the 405 List at America's List.
So technically, he could bring the GTO.
I don't think he'd lose his wins.
I think he would keep his record the way it is.
If he could get the GTO out here,
he'd have to do it quick though.
- That's the problem. - Mmm-hmm.
People are gonna say that
Jeff shouldn't be doing this or whatever.
The only thing that matters is,
is Jeff doing what he wants to do,
and is his family cool with it?
Because, you know, as long as they support him
on what he wants to do, then, you know, I say, get it.
You know what I mean? Do your thing.
I was just be nervous
about his mental state, you know,
because no one's fine after going through that,
but to just turn around and get in a car
and act like it didn't happen is...
That's scary.
There's very few people that could do that,
Jeff's one of those dudes.
So now let's not think about
from, like, race master side of America's List
or anything else.
From the 405, we go to America's List.
You know, if we could get Jeff Lutz's GTO out there,
it could be big.
That could strengthen the team in America's List for sure.
[rock music playing]
- What's up? - You're looking for a win in there?
- I don't see any wins in here. - Yeah.
Like, I see a whole lot of good passes.
- They've been pretty fast. - I don't see any wins, man,
like, you know, we knew before we were 0-5,
that it probably wasn't the best idea
- to take that car. - Right.
In the beginning, I mean, we could have said
let's bring the car that is now the NPK car,
you know, the car that's set up for track.
But...
I honestly feel like we were coming off
of the fastest that the OGs ever ran up in Nebraska.
- Oh, yeah. - America's Top 20.
[man] Yeah, baby, yeah!
- Woo! - Yeah!
[engines revving]
Murder Nova moved up.
We were like, "Hell, yeah, man,
this car can still compete."
We figured out some stuff
and we've gotten way faster with this car.
The OG is my first race car ever.
I love the OG more than any car that I own, you know?
And it's always been there, it's always treated me good,
it's always got wins for me.
And we've done so much with this car.
And every time we do things, it gets faster.
And it's obviously consistent
because it's going to the finish line every pass.
And I honestly couldn't be more proud
of what we've done with this car.
When we brought this car back from the dead,
we said, "This is our street race car."
The other car, if we break something,
if we hurt something,
everything is way too expensive for us
to be able to afford to fix all the time.
If we hurt the OG motor, which we don't.
- [Phantom] No. - You know what I mean?
Because it's a big-block Chevy.
It's a big-block Chevy.
We can overnight parts
and have them there the next day.
I don't wanna think that we can swap cars
because, man, I don't believe that that's something that I'll do
unless we hurt the OG to where it was unable to race.
- Yeah. - I'm not giving up on it.
The car is doing good, just like you said.
I still feel like it's one of those deals
that we ride it out with the OG,
we keep on, putting in the same work that we have
and we try to go faster.
The decision is made
and I'm gonna stick with it, you know.
We're sticking with OG.
Ride or die.
If we die with it, we die with it.
But I made up my mind and I'm not putting
the new car back on the street.
As of right now, the only thing that we know,
we drew Chuck.
To outrun somebody like Chuck,
we're on two total opposite ends of the spectrum.
His car leaves like a banshee.
- [Phantom] Mmm-hmm. - Once it gets out there at about 330, it's all out.
- [Phantom] It's just coasting. - That's... It's just coasting after that.
Our car leaves like a turtle.
And then out the back, we try to... try to go fast.
Right. I don't know.
I feel like to outrun Chuck on that road,
I have got to be within
what, a car and a half at the 330?
All we can do is just keep on finding spots in the tune
where we can maybe add a little bit more power.
Or see something on the car
that doesn't necessarily need to be on there
and pull some weight off of it.
And shoehorn this deal in
to making it consistent
and get my first win.
0-5 is tough to crawl out of, man.
But I do believe that if we turn things around now,
that there's still time.
We're gonna have to be perfect every pass
and we're also gonna have to
count on somebody else messing up.
[tense music playing]
I just got off the phone with the guys
and Lutz is out and feeling good.
- Oh, good. - Banged up still.
Crazy that nothing's broke but he's out and about.
The car did a damn good job then.
Yes, safety and we've talked to that day one
since I built the car,
it's like I didn't spare any expenses
and I know a lot of those guys don't either
'cause taking a... taking a beating like that
going as fast as we were going like...
Hundred and sixty to rolling sideways down [bleep] road.
- Yeah. He rolled a long way. - Yeah.
- It'll tear you up. - I mean...
It's kind of one of those
where I went from one high
just to, like, killer low.
You know what I mean?
Win the first race of the whole deal
and you get down there and it's like,
excited, exciting.
Oh, I needed that.
Oh, no.
And you see an ambulance come,
and I was like, "Ugh."
So I get out and see the debris and all that
and it was just a terrible feeling.
That was a rough one to watch.
- For sure. - Yeah.
We've been there while Kamikaze wreck.
[engines revving]
Oh, my God.
And then the Doc's wreck.
[engines revving]
[tire screeching]
I've seen my fair share of crashes
throughout my racing career.
But to see so many crashes in such a short time
since I've been racing with the 405,
it's been kind of tough to handle.
At times, it definitely makes you really think
about letting off the transbrake.
But I'm a racer and it's my job
to get behind the wheel and make my passes.
It seems like there's a possibility
that might bring some of the guys closer together.
- [Damon] Yeah. - [Craig] Yeah.
And maybe make the 405 team
what it needs to be pulling
- into the top 20 list. - [Damon] I think it does.
- [Craig] Yeah. - This is something that it does
bring people closer together,
- especially groups of guys like us. - [Johnny] Yeah.
I mean, it brings us closer together.
So with the race and the wreck, I mean,
that gives us a win finally, so...
- Yeah. - We can keep this momentum, into that win,
into this race with Dominator
and then get some draws that are more favorable for us
than just taking huge swings at it.
- Yeah. - I think somebody like Monza
or Ryan at this point.
We're gonna be right in the mix of this deal.
We're still in it. We're still in it.
We just gotta... We need to...
We've gotta get a little bit faster.
- Yeah. - But...
- I mean... - a little bit smoother
- and a little bit faster. - Right.
[rock music playing]
- Hey. - [Dave] What's up, buddy.
This car didn't do nothing to you.
It hasn't beaten me yet. How's that so?
It hasn't.
What's up?
I'm working on this old turd.
Are we doing safety equipment?
Well, I mean...
I get it.
After last weekend...
- [Dave] Yeah. - And watching Jeff...
- Doing... - go end over end
and then being MediFlighted to the hospital, like...
It was a bad, bad deal.
Yeah, I started going over this thing,
just make sure everything's good, you know,
I mean, we all wanna go home to our kids and stuff,
and so my seat belts are like,
right on the verge of being expired
so I called Fred,
got another set coming, so, you know?
I got a hunch that everybody's probably doing that.
Yeah. Well, I mean, if you saw the car like,
- that car was wasted. - [Dave] Yeah, I know.
- It was totaled. It was bad. - Like, man.
- He's alive. - [Dave] He's alive.
He's safe.
You know, I mean, he...
His back is not broke.
I know his neck is like really, really sore
but apparently all the x-rays and CAT scans
and all that came back negative so, you know?
- But, man, we got... - These cars are built to go fast
but this area right here has to be safe, period.
-And his did... his did his job. -It did.
- Everything was good. - Yeah, his was, it was intact.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff bent
and there was stuff around the car
that was wasted.
But the driver's compartment was...
I mean 100%.
These cars are designed to crumple, crash, bend,
do everything on the outside but with a helmet,
five-point harness, and the way the cage is built,
it is made so the driver can survive crashes
just like this one.
I wonder what he's gonna do?
I know what I would do.
I mean, I'd have another car
and I'd be out there as fast as possible.
And that's what he's done in the past.
Yeah.
He should go home and take a break.
He should go to Pennsylvania,
take a break, collect himself,
- so. - Yeah.
What else are you doing?
Oh, like this thing is mean.
[Chuck] No, I'm not touching this thing.
- Like your record is what? - Only thing I'm doing is,
- is replacing seatbelts. - [Dave] Okay. Okay.
Just gonna walk up there to the driver meeting
and then figure out who I'm racing.
Stay away from me.
[Big Chief] Coming up.
Let me pull this off, man.
[Big Chief] With so much on the line...
[bleep]. What gonna happen to me?
[Big Chief] The team we've worked so hard to build...
Both of those are rippin'.
[Big Chief] could fall apart.
This is [bleep] I work my ass off.
- That's [bleep] bull [bleep]. - [man] Hey.
[Monza] Why even race anymore?
[upbeat music playing]
By the way, I came to work the other day
and Dave's like, "Hey, thanks for the transmission."
- You loaned it to him. - Yeah.
He said he asked you already.
- [Ryan] He didn't ask me. - All right.
He called me, I didn't answer
and then he called you,
and you loaned him my tranny.
Hey, man, he called
- and needed it, so. - I know, I know.
So now he's got my ratios and everything in his car.
- Right. And I was... - And he's like,
"Man, the transmission's fast."
I like to keep a lot of spare parts
around the shop in case something goes wrong.
But sometimes the guys need to borrow stuff.
I'm happy to loan things out,
but sometimes it does put me at risk.
If something breaks in the Fireball
and my spare parts are in somebody else's car,
then I'm out of luck.
But I'll always help out
one of the 405 guys if I can.
All right, Javs so since you loaned my transmission out,
why don't we go over here on the board of shame...
- The board... The board of... - The board of shame.
- The board of borrowers... - Borrow and shame?
And put Dave's name.
- M&M converter? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- And transmission. - Yeah.
Dave is legit competition for me this year,
and if that means that I don't have my transmission
when I need it and it's in his car,
it's gonna put me in a tough spot.
Just put a star right there.
- [boy] I don't know how. - I'll show you.
You ready? Here we go.
He may only be 2-2 right now,
but I know firsthand how fast
that pro charger combination is.
That means we need to make sure we get those parts back.
- Yeah. And then ASAP. - Yeah.
But I can't be too mad at Javi
because if Dave is as fast as he possibly can be,
then it's gonna push myself
and the rest of the guys to be that much faster.
Especially if Dave happens to be faster than us,
- we definitely need to take that stuff back. - Yeah.
- We'll ask for it back and... - [boy] It's like a triangle
and a bunch of stars.
But you can bet that I am not gonna forget
that Dave's sitting on my spare transmission.
Everybody hates to be on this board anyway.
I know. That's the great part about that.
I never really thought that that was gonna be
what it would take to get people to return stuff.
But they... If they know that they're on the board...
- It helps me not forget. - they hate being on that board.
Yeah, we'll put one back in the trailer too,
- in that trailer, so. - Yeah, right. There you go.
[rock music playing]
[Chuck] What's my crew doing?
- Cleaning. - Cleaning?
- Well, some of it's clean. - Some of it, yeah.
It's way better to have y'all clean and then when I...
Remember, I was in Nebraska last year,
and I had Kevin with me and Chad and...
Remember how good I did on America's List last year?
Yeah. Amazing.
Everybody knows America's List wasn't too kind to old Chuck.
What everybody does not know is how tough it is
to live out there on the road in your motorhome
being away from your kids.
This is my happy spot.
If I can have my racecar,
I'm gonna have my daughter with me,
and we can do [bleep]
then that's what makes dads happy.
Living out on the road in a motorhome
with all your crew guys for months at a time,
is probably one of the reasons I couldn't get
my [bleep] together, and just couldn't
get my act right, I was missing home.
We're racing in the 405.
We live in the 405.
And dad's kicking everybody's ass, so.
Yeah.
Better than last year.
Way better than last year.
Last year, like I said, I sucked.
Don't tell nobody.
But I sucked last year.
It's great to be home, hanging out with my kids,
hanging out in the shop, working on cars together,
look, they're a chip off the old block.
There's nothing like being at home, racing,
and working on cars with my children.
The car is hauling ass.
Dad's in a good mood.
I'm back. I'm ready to race.
And I'm here, so during the week
when dad's not racing, we can work on your car.
They watch me out there doing my thing all the time,
and now they are coming of age,
and they have begged me to get them a car.
So, now this is just one more thing
that me and my girls can do together.
I said I know you're only 14, but your sister's 17,
and I know how you helped her in the junior dragster.
Remember, when she was eight years old,
you were only like five.
But think about all the races she won
and you are the girl that...
You go, "I don't wanna drive.
I just wanna help my sister."
And you helped her win all those races
by pushing her to the starting line.
And then now, we have a real car.
All the time spent wrenching on her hotrods
is much needed time for bonding.
I see you drive your Razor, and you're kind of savage.
You're probably a better driver than your sister.
I know she has a driver's license and you don't,
but if someone had to take me to the hospital tomorrow,
I'm gonna pick you.
I feel like we'll get there
and we'll get there really fast.
- Oh, yeah, probably. - You drive a lot like dad.
So, actually I'll get my car clean,
and after I win, my race this Saturday night.
What do y'all wanna do Sunday?
Lake.
- Let's go to the lake. - Lake?
It is good lake season.
- Okay, sounds good. All right. - [woman] Yeah.
[Chuck] Y'all clean?
I'm gonna come check on you a little bit.
[woman] All righty.
[rock music playing]
We're back on the road for what is sure to be
a tough night for everyone.
It's been a week since we all watched Jeff roll the 57
and leave on a stretcher.
But racing is our life.
You feel like we've got enough to cover Dom here
- with what data we came up with last night? - Yeah.
[Big Chief] And we've all gotten back behind the wheel
after countless accidents.
Since last race night ended with a wreck,
we still have eight races that need to go down.
- How did I get beat by Dominator tonight? - [woman] Right.
You never know what he's gonna do.
- Yeah, I know. - Yeah, yeah.
Starting with me versus the undefeated Monza.
[Monza speaking]
[man] How many draws?
I mean, it doesn't matter everybody's fast.
[man speaking]
[man] Oh, I did that first night.
[Monza] That's what I thought.
[man] Hey, it's 50/50.
Yeah, I'll be... I'll be tickled to death
- if I come out of that 50/50. - [laughs]
[Big Chief] Obviously, our hearts are with Jeff Lutz right now.
But tonight we got to keep our minds
on the mission at hand
and we gotta get faster every pass.
[Ryan] Okay.
You're calling it?
Sure, you want me to call it?
- Okay. Yeah. - Okay.
There you go.
[Big Chief] Heads.
[bleep].
And that's [bleep] tails.
[man] Yeah, I'm glad it was tails.
That's a tails.
Yeah, figured it was.
What lane are you gonna go?
I don't know yet.
[Big Chief] Lying [bleep].
[Ryan] I think he really doesn't know where he wants to go,
- which is confusing. - I'm really concerned
about this [bleep] wind pushing me.
I walked the whole thing and it was windier
in the left for sure.
At like 400-foot it got real bad in the left lane.
[Ryan] Was there like a huge gust?
See that building? It comes off the roof of that building
-and just goes right there. It just... -Yeah.
I tried to smoke a cigarette,
- it went flying and took off. - Yeah.
Hey, since I'll race you and Dave every night,
I'll give you choice on the next one.
- What the [bleep]? - [laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
Take your left lane.
- Thanks, boss. - Boom.
- Where's your... - Oh, man.
- [Ryan] Gonna be a drag race. - [bleep].
Monza's been running super-fast in the right lane,
so he's not giving me much by putting me in the left.
With that being said, I'm actually glad
he did give me the left lane because so far this season,
the Crow has made one terrible pass in the right lane
and three good passes in the left lane.
I think the wind is gonna push the cars left.
I'd rather go towards the center than the curb.
Is my theory behind why I picked what I did.
I don't care.
Inside, perfect.
- You ready for this? - Yup.
It is [bleep] always.
Be careful.
I will.
[engine starts]
Dad?
Huh?
Yeah, that will work.
What do you mean that will work?
- Yeah, that's good. - Do you want more?
No, that's good.
Racing first is always tough
especially when you're racing Monza
who hasn't lost a race yet.
Is that everything though?
I think. All your protective wears and suit are on?
Yeah, I wish I would've put it on.
-[Jackie] Sorry. -[Big Chief] No, it's not your fault,
it's my own fault. I should have been ready.
For some reason, I'm second-guessing everything
on my car right now.
We're always adjusting things,
we're always changing stuff,
but for whatever reason, right now,
I can't get it out of my head that maybe I forgot something.
- Good? - [Jackie] Yeah.
Not to mention, I just watched one of my best friends
roll his car in the same lane I'm about to go down,
so I'd be lying if I said
that wasn't in the back of my head a little bit.
Oh, I hope this thing does what it's supposed to do.
[Jackie] Sure, take away his undefeatedness.
Yeah.
All right. Are we ready?
Yeah.
I think so.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Love you. - Love you.
[engine starts]
[Big Chief] Monza's on fire lately and I'm gonna need
to lay down a fast pass to outrun him.
You gotta be able to block out all the mental distractions
and worry about the task at hand.
And the task at hand tonight is giving 4-0 Monza
his first loss of the season.
[engines revving]
This one, yeah?
[engines revving]
- [bleep] race, wow. - Yeah, baby.
[Jackie] Thank you.
That was a good one.
That was a good lift right there.
- Wow. - Both of them were ripping.
- Come on. - Do we have an official call?
Yeah.
[man] Stand by.
- Ooh. - Woo!
Stand by.
[man 1] That's what I'm talking about.
[man 2] My kind of racing.
[man 3] Yes, sir.
[man 1] My big deal is I want to make sure...
[man 4] We gotta look at the tape. They're too close.
- Oh, yeah. - Good one.
Good one.
I love those. And still ain't got it.
- They had been within a car? - Yeah.
I don't think they called it
but the person calling it doesn't know either.
[applause]
Did you get it?
- [Monza] We're gonna call? - No, we don't know.
[Monza] I think I got around him.
Yeah, we don't know.
[Big Chief] What a drag race.
Nice [bleep] race, baby!
I'm pretty sure I was out on Monza
'til about half track.
I think I held him off
but he was definitely catching me.
It was a super close, I still think I won.
I think I drove around him.
It looked like I listened.
I mean, it's...
I went bam and grabbed the [bleep].
Knew you would, I knew you would.
I wasn't [bleep] taking any chances.
I'm fast, 95% sure I got around him because when I...
I mean, we were side...
It was... It was like this when I pulled it.
I think he was out...
At the most ever, a fender.
I was thinking that I thought he got out on you about a car,
half car to a car.
Fender to a half a car.
- It is [bleep]. - [Jackie] Great.
It is... It is not happy.
It is not happy.
[Jackie] What part, the motor?
- [Big Chief] Huh? - The motor?
[Big Chief] Yeah, motor and the tranny.
I thought I was gonna catch on fire.
- [Jackie] Why? - I don't know,
it's smoking like crazy in there.
Well, I mean, that's from the oil.
Last night I had my hat, so I was blowing the smoke
with my hat but tonight I was just watching it
like, "Oh, my God. I'm gonna sit here
and get caught on fire,
I won't be able to get it started."
The valve-covered gaskets helped a lot
because I didn't have smoke going everywhere
when I got down there.
Oh, I noticed that.
They're still seepin' a little bit.
- [John] Yeah. - Nothing like they were.
Check her over real good, John.
Monza, this is for...
[overlapping chatter]
This would be his first loss, if he losses.
Or he's going 5-0.
He's going 5-0.
Nice freakin' job.
Okay, fellas, well...
This is a tough call for you?
Is it tough? Is it close?
- There's an issue. - [Jackie] Oh, man.
They're going to a third
overhead view camera because...
Oh, it's that close?
One frame, you are literally from your cooler
to the finish line the very next frame
you are three feet past it.
That's how fast we were going? [laughs]
You are side by side.
[Big Chief] [bleep] awesome.
[Jackie] Look at you.
We just gonna call it a tie,
we're both gonna take a win.
- A win. - [Jenna] A win.
- Win. - Win, win.
[man] They're going to a third view.
We're now using the film crew slowmo high-speed
bad boy camera they have down there,
but on one of the closest races we've ever had,
there is an issue with that camera.
So now, they're basically pulling
all the camera footage they have
from everything they got
and they're putting it all together,
so that Dominator can look at the footage
and then make the best call he knows how.
Well, Mr. Race Master where are we at?
First of all, I'm gonna say
I don't like your job,
not even a little bit.
[laughter]
Okay. So the aerial view,
it's the same [bleep]
one frame is from here to the finish line
and the next one is two and...
two feet past it.
Do you have a frame on the finish line?
- [Dominator] Negative. - Then you can't call it.
I cannot make a [bleep] fair decision
for either one of you.
If I make a decision for you,
I'm screwing you
and if I make a decision for you,
I'm screwing you.
Yeah, but I get to screw you next time,
so I'd make the decision for me.
[laughter]
[man] He does have a point.
[woman] That's just not right.
Dude, that's just not right.
It's fine when I'm not the race master.
This is great.
I get to beat you guys.
This is [bleep] Dom, you know, what's going on,
this is [bleep] I worked my ass off.
[Big Chief] Call it, Dom.
Honestly, fellas, I...
[Big Chief] Call it.
I can't.
Okay. Hey, we have to respect the race master's decision,
even if we don't like it right, Monza?
[man] Okay.
[Dominator] That's [bleep]
Hey, hey, hey, next time...
next time you want to be the decision-maker
on that [bleep] by all means, jump over there and say hey...
[Big Chief] Calm down.
Look I get why Monza's mad about the no-call situation.
I'm about 90% sure I got around him.
I thought you did too
because Chief's car made some sort of loops over there
and then I was like, "Oh, well, it's over."
But from what I can tell,
there was nothing else Dominator could do.
In the heat of the moment,
nobody wants to hear that they can't make the call,
but we have to be able to respect
the race master's decision and we have to move on.
[Monza] Why even race anymore?
[man] They can't call a winner?
[Monza] Yeah.
What [bleep]? What's the purpose?
[Dominator] And I can't... I can't [bleep] call it.
There's nothing you can do.
If I was you, I'd walk back on my own trailer,
never think about it again.
It ain't your fault.
This all got handed to you.
The views that there are, they're blurry
and when you chop it to a frame...
Because the cars are coming at a 168 mi an hour.
At night.
That ain't your fault, man.
[tense music playing]
[Dominator] Oh, I don't wanna call it.
[man] Hurry up.
[man] Call it [bleep].
- [man] I mean... - [man] Why don't you toss up?
Tails.
- [man] Ooh. - [man] Tail.
- [man] Tails it is. - [man] Wow.
- [Dominator] Nailed it. - [man] Good job.
- [Dominator] Nailed it. - [man] Hey.
[Dominator] That might...
that might be the only thing...
- I still think you're winning. - [laughter]
What do you think? Got the new tranny in?
We're good.
If our new tranny is good.
Oh, no.
Same gear set or what?
It's a little different.
A little bit different.
Don't know what we're gonna do though.
It's a little bit last gear,
so maybe a little bit lazier.
Like it's only off two or three numbers
so I don't think it'll make that big of a difference.
Still getting after it?
Whatever I was gonna Chief with,
that's what's still in it.
I just turned a launch down
like it was 54,000 on a launch.
Woo!
I just turn it down to 51, 50.
So it took a little bit out of it.
I'm gonna make like two pounds less boost
probably but...
Tranny holds, we're good.
[man] Cool.
What lane we get?
- Left, we are left lane. - [man] Yeah.
I mean Chief just hauled ass down,
I mean, Chief and Monza both, like, great passers,
so it didn't matter to me which one
but he took the... he took the race, so.
Let's go get this derby.
Man, if it holds and it goes...
We good?
That's gonna be fast
and then we gotta race Chief after that.
You gotta watch out for Dominator,
nine out of ten times,
he's not gonna make the trip down through there.
- All righty. - Let's do it.
Alright.
But that one time,
he's gonna set the world on fire.
He's gonna rotate it and he's gonna drag your ass.
So, really gotta be careful with him.
Not to mention, I've got running spare transmission
in my car for the first time.
With no testing under my belt,
but I don't have a choice, I've gotta wick it up.
I need this one so I can get another mark
in the win column for me.
[woman speaking]
[Dominator] All I see is your forehead.
[woman speaking]
[Dominator] I love you, baby girl.
Nose hairs are clear.
[woman laughs]
[Dominator laughs]
Okay. I gotta get dressed.
We're up.
I'll, uh, I'll call you back from the email, okay?
So we are here on the fourth race night,
last race night.
We only got two races in
and Jeff had a really bad accident.
Love you, baby.
Thank you.
We all know the possibilities of what we do.
When you see this many crashes,
that's in your head somewhere dancing around back in there,
you try and block that out.
It's either gonna go,
look, we put more power in it down low,
so it's gonna go or it's not.
And if it goes, he's gonna earn it.
You got to block it out,
if you can't get in your car without that being on brain,
you don't need to get in your car
because you're not going to drive
to your full potential.
You are going to hesitate in all the wrong times.
I'm racing Dave,
who's just getting faster by the minute,
but if I beat him,
I'm doing something right.
[Monza] Sir Joe.
Yes, sir.
[Monza] As soon as I left the [bleep] starting line,
I grabbed my scramble button,
so we... I don't know,
somewhere in the neighborhood of two more pounds of boost
than we've been making.
I only got two and a half pounds
on the button there, so.
We just put more power to it than we ever have.
And it took it first to hit down the road
and it took [bleep] it's just for your knowledge.
[Dominator] Yeah, that means I didn't put enough in mine.
So put some in it.
Thanks, Monza.
We should be 24 out the back.
I got 35 out the back.
[Monza] That sounds like a lot.
My motor doesn't make the power, you know.
- [Monza] Yeah. - [woman] This is different...
[Monza] But whatever you've been running out the back,
put two on it.
Put two on it.
It'll take it.
That's safe.
Okay.
- [woman] Thank you. - Thank you.
We put substantially quite a bit power in.
[woman] Yeah, we do.
But it needed it, it needed it.
It'll either take you or it won't.
We got it, okay?
Spin on the light and drive it.
[man] That's okay.
Come on, baby, just stick and go.
[woman speaking]
[upbeat music playing]
[engines revving]
[man] He's got [bleep] that transmission.
[man] That's what I said.
[laughter]
[engines revving]
[man] [bleep] damn, Dom's was rolling that, wasn't it?
We're good.
[man] Yeah, get out of... Get off the curb.
[man] Yeah, I was.
Some good race until then.
[man] That [bleep] his [bleep].
- [man] Dominator... - [man] Yeah.
[man] I mean it was a race
until they got against the curb and left, so.
[woman] Yeah.
[man] Left lane by two cars.
Two cars.
Nice.
It was going [bleep] the front end was in the air,
and I'm looking at the [bleep] curb.
Pisses me off because I got out of it
and I shouldn't have yet.
[woman] I think it unloaded.
It was going right at it
and I kept thinking front end is gonna set
and we'll be fine and it wasn't.
Stupid.
We're still figuring this tire out
on a service like this.
I let go of the brake.
It felt really, really lazy.
When the tires started to stretch back out,
I felt the car turn,
I'm waiting on the wheel to touch down
so I can try and get away from the curb,
it's not happening.
So I lift, set it back down
and I watched Dave drive away.
It had no... It... There was no power.
- Like... - Huh?
[man] Okay. If you do this much,
more often you got to build a lighter car.
[laughter]
[Dave] Something solid, 26,000 pounds.
Another great pass for me.
This thing is coming around, it's working,
Ryan's helping me here and there with the tune up,
it is hauling ass.
Dominator, like I said,
nine out of ten times,
he's not gonna make the trip
and this was one of the nine times.
He made it about 300-foot,
something happened to his car,
he coasted through.
[Dominator] You like the left lane?
- I love it. - [Dominator] Okay.
Really, no that's [bleep], yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
That's what I was gonna race with Chief with last night,
I was like, "Hell with it."
He sent it down through that, yeah.
- And it went? - Oh, yeah.
- It was good? - Yeah.
Yeah.
But now it won't start.
We're having some issues with the car
but everybody knows how important
my next race with Chief is.
So, let's see if we can figure what is wrong
so we can make the next race.
It's got a crank trigger error and a cam signal error.
Check the front end off and check the wires and stuff.
With my last win and Chief's no-car race against Monza,
he's in a weird spot.
I have a chance to pull two wins ahead of him
if I beat him later tonight.
Not only does he hate losing to me,
but that increases the gap between him and the top guys.
I would love to make that happen.
If you [bleep] told me, hey, man, you're gonna...
you're gonna go [bleep] high 40s or low 50s...
- Yeah. - On this [bleep] road.
I'm gonna go [bleep] right.
- Yeah, right. - You know, what I mean?
- Yeah. - And chances are
I could [bleep] outrun some people here.
But I have to take advantages of the things
that I have [bleep] control over like leaving.
Is this the best run you've had to date?
- Yeah. Yeah. - So make sure...
And I still watched you [bleep] walk away.
Just make sure you [bleep] that from everybody else.
Well, this is what [bleep] I'm doing against Chuck.
I went ahead and I just upped it a little bit
but I still cut through the middle of these.
Yeah.
And then I hit a little bit on the RPM plot right here
- so I just upped it. - Yeah.
And then [bleep] I gotta leave a little bit harder,
so I tried to up my boost leaving
and I upped the RPM launch just a little bit.
Yeah. Stock, I don't... Feel like it's all pretty...
- [man] Yeah, yeah. - Made subtle moves, you know.
Shawn might be 0-4, 0-5, whatever he is,
but he's still fast
and I know he turned it up
and I know he's trying stuff
and he's trying to go faster than the cars ever been
on a street.
When Murder Nova pulls the starting line,
he's 0-0 in his eyes.
And in my eyes, he's 0-0 too, so.
This is going to be a badass race,
I know how good of a racer he is,
I know how fast he is.
We put a degree of timing in it.
Is it too much? I don't think so.
You know, from what we learned going first the other day,
it took that, so we only...
we only had a degree of timing out the back,
I say they'll take it, you know.
He is gonna throw everything at it, the kitchen sink,
the toilet, the plumbing, everything and he...
his job is to kick my ass.
It's my job to make sure he doesn't kick my ass,
so I had to turn my car up a little bit
because I know how fast he's gonna go.
[engine revving]
I feel like it's gonna be a great match up
and it's actually out of...
The races I've already been this season,
this is the most nervous I've been.
Racing Murder Nova, he has nothing to lose
and I have everything to lose.
Hey, man, did you win that race against Monza?
I didn't lose it.
[Murder Nova laughs] I never seen a race
that we don't know who won
but yet we're still racing.
Coming into this race night,
we haven't made any changes to the OG car.
So last week,
we changed the whole four link settings up
and even though the car didn't tire shake,
I still lost two close races,
one to Jeff and one to Ryan.
- [man] You racing now? - [Murder Nova] Chuck.
You need to pull this off, man.
- Good luck, good luck. - I'll see you.
And tonight, I drew Chuck,
who's been killing it this season.
We knew the OG car wasn't the safe bet
at the beginning of this season.
But the car's running so good
that I really feel
like I can put up a good fight against these guys.
At this point, I have to win pretty much all of my races
to earn one of the spots to go and represent the 405.
So, uh, I got a tall order ahead of me.
I just need somebody to slip up just a little bit
and I'll get that first win.
Don't let all these guys get in your head.
If you don't know how to go fast,
- you can't go fast. - You're not wrong.
You just keep plugging away at him.
But what I need to do is I need a little bit of time,
I need to go to the track,
I need to work on my 60-foot and work on my 330.
I'm not worried about at the back.
I'm not worried about the... At the back.
I have to get to those two places first.
Yup, you're right. You are absolutely right.
And with this car,
I'm used to racing on [bleep] roads
that the 111, 60 foot. Great.
But it'll do that everywhere, so...
And you... But you'll only need increments.
I'mma start getting in here, come here.
- Good luck. - Thank you, sir.
[car engine turning over]
[car engine roars]
Are you ready?
Ready?
You ready?
[car engines revving]
[car engines roaring]
- We got no choice. - Yeah.
It's either gonna smoke the tire
or it's gonna [bleep] fly.
[man] I wanna smash that car
every time he sits next to me.
Anybody from around the country,
you would stomp their ass.
[car engines roaring]
Wow.
Why do they look so fast?
Because they [bleep] are.
[car engines revving]
Are you ready?
Ready?
You ready?
[car engines roaring]
Wow [bleep].
Holy [bleep].
Why do they look so fast?
- Because they [bleep] are. - [man] Crazy.
- [man] My God. - Because they [bleep] are,
they're [bleep] rolling [bleep] dang.
Let's call.
[man] Left lane by half a car.
Dang. Left lane by half a car.
Wow.
Golly.
They were fast as [bleep] it's crazy.
[bleep].
[Murder Nova] Hey, I made a good one, dude.
I just [bleep] can't do anything man [bleep]
Nice job, baby.
I left a little bit before you, I think.
[Chuck] Oh, you did?
[Murder Nova] And just because you [bleep] 60 foot
the [bleep] out of me always.
And that's the only reason I was out in front of you,
and then after that, because I was like,
"I gotta try something, you know?"
[Chuck] Yeah, got you.
[Murder Nova] The car made a good pass.
I can't be [bleep] upset about that
because the car's making good passes.
It's just I can't [bleep] go any faster.
[car engines revving]
[Chuck] Chief bangs the light.
Murder Nova gets out only a little bit.
My car drifted right,
we go down through there, we're side-by-side.
I end up beating him by a half a car.
And I'm telling you, that was the best drag race
I've had this season.
He was out on me, and I drove around him
and then it... And when I drove around him,
then it got... It just drove out of the lane.
I don't know if that... If it...
It made the... It may have spun on that shift.
Tried to spin around, pluck caught it,
and I just drove it and I kept, you know?
He goes, "Did you cross?" I go, "Hell, no."
After that pass, I'm 4-1,
my next pass is supposed to be against Jeff Lutz,
but obviously after that crash,
it's not gonna happen tonight.
So at the end of the night,
I will be 5-1 and in second place overall.
And be in a very good spot
to go back to America's List
and finally get my redemption.
- That's 100%... - [Chuck] It's fun.
The fastest pass that I've made
- since we've been out here. - [Chuck] You had me so scared.
That thing sounded like a... a freaking blower car.
Like, I'd... The jaws was in my ear
and I'm like, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God." I mean...
That's about where that bullhorn probably was,
was probably back in your... in your rear tire.
I took my hand off the parachute,
covered the scramble button and I kind of glanced over,
I couldn't see you but I...
[bleep]. The scramble button.
I always forget about that.
I need to hit that at some point.
I think I was more nervous about that race
than the other races.
Like, for real, like, I don't know why.
I mean, because we know how fast this car is.
Anybody else from around country here
and you would stomp their ass.
Oh, yeah, the whole top...
- Everybody out here would. - [Chuck] Yeah.
I totally understand why Chuck was nervous to race me.
Nobody wants to get beat by the winless car.
But I almost had him
and I'm really proud of that pass.
This car's definitely not meant for this road
but with as fast as it's going,
just proves how much work we've put into this thing.
That pass right there,
so we made some changes to everything.
It was the fastest, I knew it was.
- No, it was... - Like, I could tell
that was the fastest,
it didn't shake my teeth out on the begin...
Like, I still got everything that I didn't have,
you know, before that race.
The quarter glass I put in it, stayed in it,
so I think we're onto something,
but you can't go 420s
if you don't know how to go 420s.
Otherwise, I'd put a 420 tune in it.
- [Chuck] Yeah. - [Murder Nova] So...
But I would... I'd almost be willing to bet
the fastest I've been in this car is a 437.
I'd be willing to bet I could take this tune up
and send it right the [bleep] now,
go to the track and I run faster than you.
Yeah, I think it will too.
That was... That was pretty fast, I mean...
Yeah, no, it was... it was fast.
But, you know, it is what it is.
This is a good pass, I was happy with it.
How can you be upset besides the fact I'm 0-6?
Yeah... I mean, yeah. Half a car.
But I'm still not upset because it...
The car's doing what we tell it to do.
But still [bleep] badass, nice job, badass.
- Thanks, my man. - Thanks, dude.
[dramatic music playing]
Damn it.
Bottom of the ring.
[bleep] how's that happen to me?
It's... Every time I race Justin,
like, every time, something happens.
So me, Wheeler, and Damon, Craig,
we got everybody helping us get this thing back together.
How far are we gonna fill in the fuel up.
So the pass against Dominator, my ignition box quit.
So it wouldn't fire back up, we finally figured that out.
Put the new ignition box in it.
And then Jason found the broken wheelie bars
in the rear, so that's what he's doing now,
pull them off, we got the broken end out.
So we're trying to rush around
and get this thing back together,
because I gave Chief one in Nebraska,
I gave him one the other night.
I'm gonna leave that loose,
make sure you tighten it back up.
We just need to make one side-by-side
and see who's faster.
[dramatic music playing]
Coming over here?
- I'm coming over here. - What's up, buddy?
How are you?
We're supposed to be next.
-[Big Chief] I'm thrashing right now. -[Dave] Don't thrash.
[Big Chief] I'll get it done as fast as I can.
I got a crank sensor error
and a cam sensor error that were...
I made a really good one
but it wouldn't start down there, so...
Oh, I got you.
So it won't start right now?
[Dave] It won't start right now.
Well, it's gonna be hard to race then.
Right.
So I'll just take the tally mark,
we'll do it again next week, right?
- [laughing] Negative. - No? Oh, [bleep].
I thought I was gonna get one, man.
No, I just... You already have.
[laughing]
Last time.
Hey, you got one, the first one.
- Yeah. - We both 1-1. Were you...
- Yeah. - So this one needs to count.
- This one needs to count. - Okay.
If Dom and whoever is next, I don't...
I'm not sure who all is next but they can...
Okay.
Hopscotch us and I'll be back over there and figure it out.
I'll go ask them if, uh,
if they're cool with it and you give me a lane
and we'll do... Whenever you're ready.
[laughs] No [bleep]
You just snuck that off in there, didn't you?
[laughing]
It's only fair, I'm ready to go, dude.
I can see where the [bleep] I can hear you.
- Look at me, I'm ready to go. - Yeah?
No [bleep] no.
Okay. Yeah, I'll figure it out.
Good luck with it, you need anything let me know.
Okay.
Thank you.
Of course, you would be broke now.
Yeah.
[bleep].
So I guess something happened to Dave's
while we were racing
and now they want us to jump in front.
I haven't had a chance to [bleep] look at nothing.
This was our previous pass.
The only thing I know to do at this point in time
without just making more passes,
it's take the [bleep] time retort out of it.
And the bad part is it may not make the same boost.
It may not make as much boost
because the timing is back in it.
So it doesn't have the late slain coming out the pipe.
- So we got no choice. - Yeah.
It is what it is.
We're gonna take this.
We're gonna zero that [bleep] out
and it's either gonna smoke the tire
or it's gonna [bleep] fly.
That's what I had with Ryan.
Now I didn't have as much timing in it when I ran Ryan.
So right now I need to get wins under my belt
in order to be able to go to the top 20.
Not going last time absolutely sucked.
The person that's at number five
has only got two wins and I've got one.
So I'm actually not that far off.
Number five is still completely within grabs.
So I've gotta get my [bleep] together,
get the wins.
Sup mate, woo!
Puttin' the smarts to it.
Attempting it.
- Huh? - Attempting it.
You're putting a 549 in there?
I don't have a 549.
Well, it's not gonna be fast enough, man.
I don't feel like it's gonna be fast enough.
It says 549 right there on the screen.
Well, well, all these...
- You got this. - [laughing] Yeah.
Yeah, I would leave that laptop alone,
I'd throw it in the trailer and I just make a bar change
and I make a thing go right.
It was fast.
You just set it down and...
Regardless, who's gonna call this?
He is.
- Damon is? - Yeah.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Tails. - [coin clinks]
[man] I have no idea what that is.
That is a tails.
There you go.
Where are you going?
I'mma go right.
I knew that's where you were going.
I don't wanna.
[laughing] Okay.
- I respect that. - [man] Okay. Cool.
Last time we raced, we kinda did the... So just...
Don't do that and I won't do that. And...
This time, there's a curb.
Good luck to both of you.
What's y'alls records?
[Dave] We're 1-4.
We're both 1-4.
So somebody here is advancing to two wins.
I know you're probably making faster passes on the road
than you've ever made in your life.
Kinda how this is all going, y'all kept pushing,
kept pushing, kept pushing.
100%, that's... Been the way it is from the beginning.
You have to...
Okay. Well, y'all get [bleep] ready.
- Get up there. - Good luck, brother.
Good luck, guys.
- We're good. - Tunes in,
tires set, car's good.
I'm sure he's gonna throw something harsh at it,
he's kinda...
Is he... Is he frustrated?
He's had a frustrating night,
so he's gonna drive like it, so.
After Lutz' big wreck,
it makes me a little nervous to wind back up there.
It's always hard to get right back out there
after one of your buddies takes a spill like that.
But I do feel like we're getting a little closer
to figuring out this road.
So hopefully I can figure out how to get another tally
in the winner column.
[Chuck speaking]
- Ready? - Yeah.
[grunts]
I put a whole bunch of timing in down low.
[woman speaking]
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, it may haul ass
and it might just smoke the tire
right there on the hit.
[man] Be safe, brother.
Thank you.
[Jackie] I love you.
[Chuck] I love you.
[car engine turning over]
[car engine revving]
[car engine roaring]
Looks like he peeled it up.
Looks like it did.
Why's everybody so mean on him in the burnout?
Just slamming [bleep].
I didn't know that was the deal.
I didn't know that was the deal, man.
I need to start doing that.
I'm pretty mean on mine too though.
[car engines revving]
[car engines roaring]
[man] What the hell is wrong with Do's car now?
Yeah, that [bleep] banged up.
Man, damn, that sucks.
[man] They was swinging for it, wasn't they?
Why are they always make laps like that
when I'm up next?
I don't know, yeah, peel it up, huh?
- [Big Chief] Yeah, just took it all the way. - [man] That's cool.
I get stuck in the left lane, the lane that wants even
more power than the right lane,
and I really needed to hit this thing
with about four pounds, more boost.
I let go of the brake,
it makes another abrupt right-hand turn.
So right now I'm 1-5.
[dramatic music playing]
Now the surface is good enough.
We got the bars too high.
Because as soon as it hit the bars, it went right.
[man] Why you doing all that now?
We've been...
We were raising the bars when we first got here
because the surface wasn't great.
And we have kept raising them and kept raising them.
And with this tire and this car,
you get them up too high,
when it gets on the bars, it drives way different.
- Yeah. - And we gotta get...
- Take the bars back down. - We got to.
They get in the weight on the back tire.
- Yeah. - Well, yeah, this thing...
It's acting all weird now.
Fix it [bleep].
[bleep] we needed that one.
That was a little spicy.
- It was. - Good job.
I overshot a little bit
and I was just trying to keep it gathered up
- so I can stay, I figured he was coming. - Yeah.
Chief brings us in, hits the light,
and the car plants and 60 foots
like it hasn't before, like,
it was a good 60 foot, and then I let the...
What we thought let the tire go.
I think it was a driver error.
After looking at little bit of data,
I may or may not have touched the trans-brake
and it pissed the car completely off.
I didn't realize it at the time,
but I just tried to gather it back up
and he was obviously having more problems
than I was over there because I hadn't seen him yet,
so I just tried to keep it in my lane
and get to the finish line.
And at this point, we're 2-4,
so I feel like we're gonna gain some ground here
and get some more wins gathered up.
We've seen what this road keeps taking and doing, so...
I mean, I...
- We gotta know where that line is now, so... - [man] Yeah.
I mean, at 60 foot they're good.
Now we're 2-4.
Going the right way now.
[dramatic music playing]
So we got good pass that we have the other night
to work off of, now we kind of let on, yeah.
So... Let's turn up the air too much.
I definitely wanna take it and test it and see...
Yeah.
I think the change we made is the right direction.
We're just gonna have to take a degree or two out of it
here and there and find that fine line.
So, good job. We killed it.
- Nailed it. - Good job, guys.
I'm gonna go talk to Dom make sure he's good.
[man] Hey man.
[Big Chief] Hey, Dave. You wanna flip?
- Dave. - [Dave] What?
[Big Chief] You wanna flip the lanes, buddy?
Since you wouldn't give me the lane,
I gave you all the time to fix your [bleep].
[Dave] I gave you the lane last time.
Just didn't... I know. I'm just... I'm trying.
- I'm getting it every time. - So you're giving me the lane this time?
- No. Hell no. - Oh.
- [laughing] - I gave him the lane too.
Yeah, I know. And then you...
And then you [bleep] out of the [bleep]
Tally mark down there though.
[man] We [bleep] bit too.
Okay. Who's calling this?
- I'll call it. - You're gonna call it?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Ah, [bleep] tails.
Hey.
Did I win? Go, dude.
I'll let you know.
- [laughs] - [man] [bleep].
[man 1] I wonder where he got that from?
[man 2] Yeah. Oh, like it matters.
[upbeat music playing]
We good? Like...
You feel good about the wheelie bar?
This way, because, you know it's gonna steer the car
if it's off. Okay.
It's as good as we can get for riding now.
Racing Chief is never easy, is it?
All season, we've been trading wins back and forth,
and normally it's because one of us don't make a pass.
But I almost gave him another win tonight
because after our race,
we found a whole mess of things wrong with the car.
Luckily, Dominator and Damon stepped up
to give me time to fix the car.
I know Chief wants to beat me as much as I wanna beat him.
But I guarantee he's like me, he's gonna want me
at 100% when he races.
So hopefully we're gonna be in for a good one.
That almost cost us the race.
[upbeat music playing]
[man speaking]
No.
What the [bleep] you get to do that every time?
- No, just with the wind. - That's scary.
When it's time for me to race Dave,
he's got a bunch of issues with his car
and he can't get it fixed.
So we decided to give him some time,
let a few guys race ahead of us,
give him time to fix his car because when we race,
I want the best Dave and Goliath that I can get.
I have to remember that Dave has one
of the fastest cars out here and he will do anything
it takes to win, so I cannot look past this.
I was kinda thinking if we give it a little
same thing where you were at... Same thing
where you were at, but just give it a little...
Yeah, no, we can do that.
- What do you think? - Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- Just... I mean... - No, that's would I do.
- Not a lot. Just a... - No, I got you.
- You know. - Hey, I got you.
- I'll make it happen. - Thanks, Shawn.
You're the man.
So lately I've been having some issues with my car,
not wanting to go straight, per usual.
No matter what we do, it goes a little left
and drives out of the groove.
So I'm having my old buddy Shawn stand behind
my car and point me just ever so slightly to the right.
It's been a while since me and Shawn have worked together
on a race night like this and I'm feeling nostalgic.
It kinda feels like old times.
It's got a hot one it, like, we went pretty fast
with Dominator and I just moved everything up.
Launch RPM, everything.
You ready?
- Ready as I'll ever be. - Let's do work.
I wanna smash that car every time he sits next to me.
It's just something that he said in Nebraska
that's really got under my skin
and has really been eating at me.
I never turn on as much as I do when I'm racing Dave.
Something about Dave, I just wanna crush him every
[bleep] time I race him.
I was born on Earth,
delivered to Nebraska,
tonight, to hand Dave his first I.
- Good? - [man speaks]
Okay.
- [grunts] - [car engine sputters]
[bleep] dammit.
[car engine sputters]
You gotta be [bleep] me.
Watch the LED on the end.
- What color is it? - [man] Green.
[car engine sputters]
- What was... - [man] Still staying green.
[engine revving]
It finally sounds like
Dave's got that thing fired up.
And trust me you can hear it
from the next county when a ProCharger car starts up.
So it's running, and it sounds good,
and it sounds like we might just get our racing.
Dave's car not starting just goes to show
that no matter how much money you spend,
no matter how new the car is,
how fancy it all is, it's still a race car
and it's still gonna give you problems
at the worst possible time.
[car engine sputtering]
I told John put us in the same spot we were,
- but just give us a... - Oh, man.
You know what I mean? Just a little. Just like this.
Just the front end and then hopefully
it doesn't go that way.
[rock music playing]
[Big Chief] [bleep]. We're gonna do it, right?
- [Murder Nova] Get ready. - They're gonna...
- Give it just a second. - [man] Whatever.
- [laughing] - [man] Damn.
I'm gonna point the car at you a little bit.
- [Dave] What? - [Murder Nova] We're just gonna point the car
at you a little bit. Don't worry about it.
[laughs] It don't matter I'm gonna be gone.
[laughter]
[Big Chief] Honestly, at this point,
I think we're on bonus time with this engine.
Well, he's over it.
- [bleep]. - [Jackie] Checking out.
It's been a rough past four years but...
- [Big Chief laughing] - [Jackie] I got to go.
You said it's not me, it is you.
He said you said that between
those fenders looking all raggedy.
Why should we spend money on paint job and wings.
- [Jackie] Mmm-hmm. - [Big Chief] [bleep]
These are the worth [bleep].
[Jackie] He's like I'm tired of your [bleep]
- Promises of changing my oil. - [Big Chief] Yes.
- [bleep] I'm tired of your empty promises. - [Jackie] Yeah.
[Big Chief] You always say it's gonna be different
- this time. - [Jackie] Do you have CO2?
[Big Chief] And never is... Yeah.
- Okay. Are you ready? - [Jackie] Good luck.
- [Big Chief] Love you. - [Jackie] Love you.
[Big Chief] Thank you.
How are you feeling a little buddy?
Think you could make this deal happen for me?
Huh?
Maybe I get you a new tag?
That says Henry.
[car engine sputters]
[rock music playing]
I think we're gonna do that.
- Yeah. - A little bit?
Shouldn't we [bleep] putting this late, at this time?
I don't know but I said...
[tires screeching]
[man] I'm gonna get him right on that [bleep] line.
[indistinct chatter]
[car engine revving]
- Oh, my God. - [man] Nice.
Chief got that one.
You got a call down there?
[man] Right lane by a car.
Right lane by a car.
- Right by a car? - I'm trying to think. Wow.
Yeah, [bleep]. Damn it [bleep] fast, man.
Nice job baby.
[man] That's a mean [bleep] right there.
[man] You ain't lying... [laughs]
[bleep] You ain't lying.
I bet you a center or a curb.
I'm like, "Yup, I ain't lifting."
[Big Chief] How's that [bleep] my friend?
- [man] Uh-huh. - [Big Chief] Is it bad?
My friend, congratulations.
That thing is [bleep] flying dude.
Nice [bleep] job. Nice job.
[Murder Nova] Let me get back to get one more.
-[Big Chief] Yup. -[Murder Nova] I wanna see that one.
[Big Chief] Nice job man. Congratulations.
[Dave] You too. Thank you. You too.
[man] Yeah. It went all over the place
but it was [bleep] moving, it was motivating me.
I thought... I thought Dave's looked pretty fast
even though he's all over the place.
Still look I can't... I didn't think he was a car out on him.
I thought he got him but I didn't think
he had in that far.
[Big Chief] Oh, well.
What are you gonna do?
Dominator bangs the light,
me and Dave in the starting line.
We both get off together.
My little old wore out Pontiac motor
just did not have enough tune up in it
to stay out on Dave and he outran me.
[rock music playing]
- [Jackie] Time to buy a car. - [Big Chief] Huh?
- [Jackie] Time to buy a car. - [Big Chief] Yeah,
you know, he's [bleep] he's [bleep] fast.
Like I didn't [bleep] rode my [bleep] to do that.
That's for sure.
Oh, man.
Like it was... It was straight as hell.
[Big Chief] Yup, [bleep] you and Jackie
[bleep] everything was perfect.
What are you gonna do with those two cars though?
I [bleep] don't know.
I [bleep] I didn't build my [bleep] to race
around here, that's for sure.
I'm just gonna keep getting my ass kicked,
by everyone else, I guess.
- [man] Hey, hey. - You know what I mean?
[man] You could be 0-6, it could be worse.
I don't know. You know me. You know me.
This is the same as 0-6 you know?
[man] I know. I know.
There ain't no difference for me.
- That's where we're gonna be. - [man] Yup.
[rock music playing]
And that's how hard work pays off.
The race against Chief didn't disappoint
with Ryan's transmission in the car.
I made a hell of a pass that's just all I wanted.
I wanted both cars can to go down through
their under power and see who the fastest guy was.
And I come out on top by a car.
Damn good thing I know how to drive.
- [man speaking] - [chuckles]
Because that bitch was salty.
Right now we're about halfway through this competition.
- Heck yeah. - Hard work, man.
I'm sitting at 4-2 which leaves me
in the four spot.
Not real comfortable spot to be in because there's only
one more behind me and it just takes one screw up.
And I'm gonna be at that fifth spot
and then one more, I'm gonna be out.
Yeah. It didn't really wanna go straight right
out of the gate, but...
- Or down there. - You got it down pretty quick.
I got [bleep] down there.
You never see him?
I only saw him probably 30 foot.
- That was it? - [Dave] That was it.
Whenever I seen it go straight left, I was like
- "Oh, man." - [Dave] I wouldn't lift him.
- You said [makes sound] - [Dave] I wouldn't lift him.
Like I was... He just got that thing over and...
[bleep] center to curb is mine.
I'm gonna use it.
That's a good hit.
Can't wait to see how fast it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good, I mean we went about 750 foot.
- Yeah. - But ain't that weird?
[bleep]. Go smooth,
- you always lose. - Yup.
When you gotta bust your ass and things
go wrong and usually it pays off, man.
So I'm not real comfortable. I'm not safe right now.
But my car is working. It's hauling ass.
I don't have any doubt that I will be one of the five
to go because I'm gonna bust everybody's ass.
- [laughter] - [indistinct chatter]
[man] Good race, bro.
So how was that? Describe that?
I wanna know how that went.
[man] Salty as [bleep].
- Yeah, no, I see that. - [man] Yeah.
But, like, was it because it made that hard.
And I was like, "Oh, [bleep]."
- [man] Yeah. - I am like I am not lifting.
- I promise you, so I did... - [man] You didn't.
Just as hard as I could right on the floor.
And just jerked it back over and then down there
you got [bleep].
Yeah. And I'm like, "I'm not lifting."
[man] Yeah, that's how I drive.
- [Dave] Yeah. - No, you're just more like...
We're down there, and you're like, "What's up, guys?
Yeah." The whole...
You see the door is [bleep] like, I don't think mine
is that bad, you know, it was like [makes sound].
You don't see one side, you see the whole other side.
- What'd they call it [bleep]? - [man 1] They said a car.
[bleep] I call it by a car.
[man 2] I mean, you had a good race.
[man 3] I didn't know who won to be honest with you.
[man 4] All right. What are we doing here?
- Who calling? - [Ryan] I'm calling.
- [man] You're calling it? - [Ryan] Yup.
Yeah? All right. Heads.
- That's a good flip, man. - Two perfect records.
That's a good [bleep] flip.
- [man 1] It is... - [man 2] It is heads. It is...
I can't see [bleep]. I can't see nothing.
- It's heads. - It's like a shadow but...
[man 1] I can see. I'm... I'm right down here on it.
- [man 2] That's heads? - Yes.
That's a weird quarter though.
- [man] I told you. - You've been...
You've been running the right line.
[man] Oh, you're gonna tell him that?
No, I'm asking. You take right, I'll take left.
- Two undefeated. - Yup. Somebody...
Only one undefeated after this mess.
Good luck guys. Good luck guys.
- Hey, [bleep] hey. - Quarter.
So Monza didn't win or lose against Chief tonight
so that puts myself and Monza undefeated going
into this next race
and we both been on a mission all season long.
- CO2 good. - [man speaks]
- Parachute's good. - [man speaks]
- [Ryan] Tune up's hot. - [man speaks]
- Hopefully it doesn't spin. - [man speaks]
Also check.
So far this road has taken everything that I've given it
but I'm stepping it up every single pass.
So there's always a chance that I could
overpower the road and possibly give the race away.
Don't change what we're doing.
I'm changing the tune up, you leave the car alone.
It's a gamble every time I get behind the wheel
but that's what it takes to try to be
the fastest car in the country.
[man speaking]
[Ryan] Mmm-hmm.
I got fuel pressure.
- [man speaking] - Yup.
[man speaking]
Do your thing, brother.
[car engine starting]
I know how pissed Monza was about last season
and lately he's been driving like a man on a mission.
And now after how his race with Chief went down...
I'm a little worried that he's gonna have even
more of a bigger chip on his shoulder.
[rock music playing]
[man] [bleep]. Damn it, you got insurance?
[bleep]. Okay. Thank you.
- [bleep]. - [laughter]
He does, you don't.
[bleep].
[car engine revving]
Every second.
What's wrong?
They tipped 'em off. [bleep].
- What's wrong? - Cops are coming?
[man] Cops! Cops!
Racing and testing on the streets all these years,
you're coming from the south and there's a cop right there.
That's a cop right there.
[police] What you guys been up to?
[sirens wailing]
[man] Cops, cops.
[Big Chief] We've had plenty of run-ins with the law.
[police] Get the hood on it.
We can't catch a damn break dude.
[police] We've been given orders by our captain
to end all that.
[Big Chief] And each time we run the risk
of going to jail and having our cars impounded
[indistinct]
We were just making... We're just testing.
We're not racing nobody.
- [indistinct] I want that all out of there. - [man] Okay.
[Big Chief] Best case scenario,
you get let off with a warning.
[police] There's three different tickets.
One for modified exhaust,
disturbing peace, and disorderly conduct.
Signing does admit guilt.
Says you will pay the fines to the court.
[Big Chief] Or you get slapped with a citation.
He needs to get his ass on the trailer, right now.
But my personal favorite scenario...
[man] Go, go.
[Big Chief] Is to get done and don't get caught
in the first place.
What's wrong? They tipped 'em off.
Cops are coming? Cops! Cops!
So somebody should go put one up then.
What happened?
[man 1] There's no finish line light.
[man 2] Oh, there's no finish line light.
- Oh, they bought it. - [man] Oh, my God.
Because that got knocked down there.
[Monza] Racing in the dark out here
is damn near impossible to see the finish line
unless we put a flashlight down.
Looks like it rolled away on us
when we weren't looking.
[Big Chief] Hey Monza,
maybe Ryan's [bleep] won't start.
Who knows where he is.
He ain't gonna make it on time.
- [man 1] There it is. - [man 2] Oh, it is up.
[man 3] There it is, all right!
[man 4] Okay. Okay, here we go.
[man 5] Knock, knock, get out of the street.
- Are we good? - [man] It's good, man.
Are we good? Okay. We're good.
[man speaking]
Yeah, tell him to hold on and wait...
Yeah, do whatever you gotta do.
- [man] Do what you gotta do. - All right.
[man speaking]
We're good?
- Do what you gotta do. - Let's go, let's go.
[car engine starting]
- What? - I don't understand what you're asking.
[man speaking]
Two car [bleep].
I can't wait to race him.
Were the O2s did not come on?
[man speaking]
That sucks.
It's no ProChargers.
That sucks. Hopefully that didn't happen.
Hopefully it's all right.
I talked to Brandon and he was pissed off
because after they made him shut
their cars off on the starting line
when they re-fired up the O2 censor wasn't working
and he's worried he could've burned the motor up.
I don't know if that's what happened or whatever
but it looked to me like he had a few other issues
but that's racing.
He got out of it pretty quick, hopefully it's all right.
[indistinct chatter]
[man] It's because he said that sometimes the O2s
don't come back on
and so they probably just burned it up.
That's what he said.
What's the official call on that one?
[man 1] Left lane by a car.
[man 2] Left lane by a car.
[Big Chief] Ryan by a car.
[Ryan] With that win I am the last undefeated
405 driver.
Monza gave me a run for it early in the race
but something must have went wrong
because he fell off pretty quick.
The Fireball keeps getting faster
and faster every pass.
That puts me alone at the top of the group
and I couldn't be any happier.
He's [bleep] fast.
- [man speaks] - He's fast.
[man speaking]
It felt like it never worked wouldn't
[bleep] never gonna set the [bleep] run in back down.
[man speaking]
Did it wheelie as far as I think it did?
[man speaking]
[Monza] Where did Brandon go?
[man speaking]
Why?
[man speaking]
Oh, well.
This poor car is probably so hot.
Poor [bleep] road.
- Yeah. - [bleep] damn.
It feels so good to be 6-0. We took a lot of risk.
We've put a lot of energy into this season,
and a lot of efforts.
And I'm just excited to know that it's finally paying off.
That was dumb fast, dude.
I don't know how fast it was but it's pretty stupid.
- It felt pretty good. - It was fast down low
where like fast like...
It looked faster than you've ever been down low.
I sped it up a little bit down low trying
to fix where it bunny hops and all that stuff.
I guarantee you, it was [bleep] fast down low.
My ultimate goal is to be number one in America's list.
And we're on the right path to get there.
Good race Monza.
- You too. - You okay?
Did you make a good pass?
No, it went left on me pretty good.
Oh, [bleep] you...
You're... You got a [bleep] record.
You got second best record here.
It's almost a guarantee that you're going
- to America's Top 20. - Yeah.
You, I mean, in honest... In all honesty,
- y'all two both but like... - Yeah, we're tied.
Yeah, you guys... You guys...
- Ain't nobody going to take it away from us. - Have improved the most
of any group that we had to go to America's Top 20.
Will we get like a most-improved trophy or something?
No, probably not.
[Ryan] I'll try to make y'all something.
- I don't want one. - Good race. Good job.
After an intense night of racing,
it's safe to say this group of cars is wicked fast.
[car engine revving]
Dave and Ryan's ProCharger Hemi's are laying down
some badass passes.
And we're all right behind them.
Look, there's still enough time
for the whole top five to get shaken up.
So no one can let up now, with a group this fast
every win is extremely valuable.
Look, it could mean the difference of going
to America's List or going home.
[narrator] Next time on Street Outlaws.
What is wrong with you?
It's only been a week.
Either go back down this road right away
or I probably won't ever do it again.
Once you do something like I did,
it scares the hell out of you.
So it's a conquest of mine to conquer
this road to lose the fear.
