[Murder] Street racing is dangerous.
[reading]
Damn! Stretched him.
So, we're getting close to the end of the race night
with the 405 versus local import racer J-Rod and his team.
Did you hear that?
[Murder] Whoever wins the most races
leaves here with $1,500 in our pocket.
We started out the night really strong...
McLaren got [bleep] up.
...got out to an early lead.
Should we check it for counterfeit?
[Murder] But as the night goes on,
the road gets better and some of their heavy hitters
like Felicia...
and in the Honda, have pulled back a couple of wins
and now they're within one race of us.
And later...
Mark called me from Pittsburgh.
[Murder] ...a group of Lutz's old friends from Pennsylvania...
[Jeff] Brandon, did you come for another ass-whooping?
[Murder] ...come to take on the 405.
They're bringing some high-horsepower cars
and might have a little something up their sleeves
to give themselves a little advantage.
-That is a 29.5, 10.5. -That's what I thought.
No wonder this is one of their fastest cars.
Hang on! Hang on!
[bleep]!
[Murder] So, currently, it's seven to six us
and J-Rod's team is trying to tie things up.
Dave's looking to break out of his losing streak,
but first...
Hey, look. There's a reason Chuck wants to race that dude.
Chuck 100% thinks he's going to [bleep] that car up.
Hey, otherwise, he wouldn't have been adamant about racing that guy.
I'm eight and one on the road.
Oh, yeah. We're gonna ride, baby.
I plan on leaving here tonight nine in one.
We are only down one, right? We have two races left.
-[Aaron] Yeah. -If you beat Chuck...
-Yeah. -...I think we win this.
[Murder] Chuck is racing the super-fast all-wheel-drive Honda Civic
driven by Aaron.
[Chuck] I'm gonna kick his [bleep] ass.
[Murder] If Chuck loses, that will tie everything up, seven to seven.
It's always nice to see one of the biggest races of the night
represented by both teams' fastest racers.
-[all applauding] -[man] Chuck got him.
I think we got it!
Right lane! Right lane.
[Aaron sighs in relief] Thank you, Lord.
[Chuck] Yeah, I got that [bleep]!
All right, what's the call down there?
-[man on radio] Standby. -Oh, [bleep].
-It's too close to call! -It's close.
He's got to look at the camera.
-[all groaning] -No! Come on.
[man on radio] Right lane...
[all screaming happily]
[bleep]!
It was a good race. It was a good race.
Did they win now? Do they win?
No, no, it's seven seven. Dave's race...
is gonna decide.
[man] No pressure.
[Murder] Yeah, no, I just told Dave, "You can outrun that thing."
Hey, he smoked the tires.
He's gonna be nervous. He's gonna turn it down.
-I mean... -Did he?
-[Murder] Did he spin? -No. No.
He said he made only...
Well, there goes my [bleep] thing, then.
[all laughing]
Look out, look out.
No!
No, we don't know him.
You lost. You lost!
You lost right next to him.
I should have grabbed his...
I was [bleep]...
Hey, I was [bleep] up so bad,
I've never dragged this badly.
Like, no, for real.
Yeah!
[all cheering]
[Aaron] Oh, my gosh.
I knew that car wouldn't...
It spun more than it would have if he would have done a burn-out.
He was out in front of me. I clicked second.
I think he was still in front of me.
As soon as I clicked third...
I mean, I had enough momentum.
I drove around him. It was close.
I seen you. When you pulled up next to me,
-I grabbed the scramble, but I didn't have enough time. -Too late.
Too late, yeah. It was like that...
It was kind of like Fast & Furious.
[Aaron] Earlier, I was like, "I've got two of the fastest cars to race."
Everybody's fast. Somehow or another,
I happened to get both of them.
To win both? Incredible.
-Anyway... -Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity.
-Appreciate it. -Great race.
-I enjoyed it. -Yeah, thank you.
[Murder] Seven seven. Seven seven.
Yeah, I'll argue for her to get one of their spots for Cash Days.
So, we're getting towards the end of the season
and I'd like to set up some sort of Cash Days-style race
where we bring back some of the fastest cars
that we've seen throughout the season
and some of the racers we saw tonight
definitely deserve the chance to be in it.
So we've learned a lot throughout the season
and we've gotten faster every race night,
but if we're gonna take on the fastest of the fast racers,
then we need to keep pushing ourselves to get faster every pass.
[Dave] Not sure why it always has to come down to me.
-Man. -[Murder] You got this, baby.
-Yeah? -It's just another race.
It ain't no thing.
-Yeah, no [bleep]. -[Murder] Nope.
I ain't worried about it a bit.
-Not one bit. -[Dave laughs] Thanks, buddy.
-Dave, do your shoulders feel heavy right now? -They do.
You've got a lot of weight on your shoulders right now, bro.
Hey, I've lost a little bit of weight. So...
-I think I'll be all right, though. -[man] Yeah?
[Murder] I think we will too.
You know why? 'Cause Daddy Dave is our last race.
[man] That's right.
Hey, we've put all our eggs in his basket numerous times.
Why didn't Chuck win that one?
-[Murder] I know. -I would have felt way better.
I've got to remember the scramble button, though.
You've got to remember. Do not forget the scramble button.
As soon as you leave, just grab that [bleep].
-Yeah, maybe. -That's what I do.
That's the only way I can remember.
It's not on my steering wheel, though.
It's up around my dash. I've gotta...
You want me to ride with you and hit it?
Brandon, little light-ass.
-I'd be like, "Hit it!" -I promise you, he will.
[Dave] I've put some power in it
and a little bit more nitrous to it. That will help.
[Murder] [bleep], is your block up out of the way?
-Yeah. -[Murder] Okay.
There's a couple of things you have to look forward to.
If you win, I think I'm gonna go find
those big Gatorade things over there and we're gonna dump it on top of you.
-[Murder] While he's in his truck? -Yes.
-No, not in my truck. -[Murder] Oh, okay. We'll wait till afterwards.
You're at least gonna get this, okay?
-[all laughing] -I'm just gonna shoot it in your face.
[Murder] This may be the only one we can find.
[all laughing]
-All right, well, no pressure. -Yeah.
We're at seven to seven.
I'm the last race of the night.
Not what I was looking forward to, not what I wanted,
especially with my record right now.
Damn.
Like, I don't need this, but I'm here.
I got my boys at my back. They all got confidence in me.
If this thing don't smoke the tire,
I'll have a least a car and a half
or maybe two on this guy.
Last team I thought we'd ever be this close with.
I don't want him to have a comeback story.
[Reaper] Just do what you do best.
I've always said you're the guy in this [bleep].
Drive around this [bleep].
Just do it.
The 1,500 at the end? Kind of like to bring that over to the 405.
We're gonna leave it alone.
We've got in it what we've got in it.
Don't want to second-guess myself.
Tied up, seven all right now.
Coming down to this race between me and Dave.
I got to get redemption on first pass.
I feel like I should have had it.
So I definitely have some pressure on me right now.
Anxious and eager to go and hopefully we do good.
[Murder] Good? Good?
[man] Yeah, he's good right here.
[cheering and yelling]
[Dave] [bleep], yeah.
All right, what do we got down there?
[man on radio] Right lane!
Right lane by a bumper.
[all yelling happily]
[Murder] Too much celebrating. I hurt my abs.
[Dave] [bleep] old truck.
I told y'all Dave would [bleep] carry us on his back.
That was that [bleep] rabbit's foot again.
Hey, one little cough and then it was over.
It coughed. [coughs]
And then Dave said, "[imitates car]."
Y'all badass. Good job.
Hey, good job.
-Nice job, brother. -Good job. Good job.
[all applauding]
[Murder] Good job, baby.
Nice job, man. Nice job.
[Murder] I knew you would carry all of us.
Nice job, baby.
Never a doubt, baby. Never a doubt. Good job, good job.
I've been having [bleep] luck. I'm on a losing streak.
So I threw everything I can into this little thing
and I pulled off the win.
I looked in my rearview mirror and I'm like, "Oh, turn this thing on."
[all laughing]
Hopefully, this is the start of my climb back to the top.
Hey, that was too [bleep] close for comfort.
I can kick the [bleep] out of every other team that rolls in here
and the losing streak is over with.
That was stressful as [bleep].
This is the start to my new winning streak.
Let's talk to these boys.
-Collect some money. -Yeah, collect some money,
tell them we appreciate them coming
and go home and go to bed.
[Dave] Yeah. I'm gonna need my gas money.
On a serious note, thank you so much.
-[Murder] Thank you, man. Thanks for coming. -This was a great night.
-[Murder] You put together a hell of a group, man. -I appreciate it.
At the beginning of the night, I thought we were gonna railroad y'all,
I'll be honest.
I mean, Shawn got a great look of a green Supra.
Hey, my favorite Supra!
I watched my favorite Supra the whole way.
But what really matters... [laughs pointedly]
[all laughing]
AZN's not gonna let us leave here until we get paid.
Hey, we owe them some money.
Our backs were against a wall.
The team gelled. We came together
and it came to the last [bleep] 400 foot.
And I couldn't ask for a better finish
and so, I'm just really proud of my entire team.
You have definitely not seen the last of Team J-Rod.
[Murder] AZN...
AZN's our accountant.
Hey, appreciate you guys coming, man.
Thanks a lot.
It was a little too close for comfort,
but Daddy Dave secured it for us.
One 405 team beat us and this one came real close.
-[sighs] Good seeing you, sir. -Good to see you, man.
We're getting a little more confident every race night
that we have with these cars and we're getting faster.
We've got a few races left.
We've got Pennsylvania, Ohio...
and another Texas team.
Those are the guys that we want to prove a point to.
Everything can be cool and kumbaya
with the guys from the 405...
but the gloves come off whenever we race somebody from out of town.
I know that we have a car that is capable of being
one of the fastest ones out there.
That's what we built it for.
We've just gotta get it right.
I don't know, man.
Until we get the right converter in this car,
we're gonna have to try more things than what we've already tried.
And we've tried a lot. [scoffs]
If we have a looser converter, I think it will actually
take more power out of the hole.
-Yes, I agree. -I think it will help hook up and everything.
So, my '55 has been running pretty well this season,
but we aren't one of the top dogs out here
and I want to keep changing things until it is.
I know the car has potential.
I know it will go faster and I believe one thing that is really holding us up
is the converter.
When you have a Proharged car,
a converter is one of the main ingredients to having a fast car.
So if we can get more power in the car...
or the right converter
and get it to shift through all three gears,
-the car's gonna be faster. -For sure.
We do have one more converter that's coming in.
-We'll change that converter again... -For the fifth time?
...for the eighth time with this damn car.
So, basically, what I want is a loose converter,
to where it doesn't drop anything.
You don't even see it drop.
300, maybe 500 RPM on a shift would be perfect
and the tire would stay happy.
We're gonna go test.
-What do we got? -And then,
like, who are we getting ready for now?
Is it another fast bunch or?
Yeah, it's Jeff Lutz's bunch.
It's Pennsylvania.
So, Jeff Lutz has been part of the 405 for years now...
but the fact is, Jeff is from Pennsylvania and Jeff raced in Pennsylvania
and Jeff has friends in Pennsylvania that he used to race with.
Nice pass, brother. That thing leaves hard, bro.
Told you. Ain't no damn sliders.
So Jeff Lutz is good buddies with Marc and Matt.
Marc currently builds his engines.
So I'm assuming they're going to have the same type
of caliber cars that Jeff Lutz has
and I would imagine they're going to be pretty tough.
-They got a '55 Chevy. -Oh, yeah?
And it's a wagon.
Oh, man. Nice.
They got a '70 Nova, a '67 Nova,
a Chevy Colorado.
And then...
an '87 Grand National.
Oh, man.
I know! How cool is that?
-Yeah. -I mean, dude, that's a list of cars right there.
-Like, look, I'm getting the chills. -Yeah.
So, Jeff sent me some pictures of these cars
and from what I can tell in the photos,
they look legit and some of them look pretty damn cool
and I'm excited to see them.
We don't really know what to think about these racers,
but if they're anything like Jeff Lutz,
then they're gonna be competitive
and we're probably gonna have our work cut out for us.
All right, man, I'm gonna go get the belt.
Okay, I'm gonna finish this up, just gonna hook the bottle up...
-and all that good stuff. -Piece of cake.
Yeah.
-We'll make this thing fast yet. -Yup.
[Jeff] What did you figure out?
[Junior] Well, we got the O2 sensor.
What do you mean?
So, last race night, I lost to Felicia and I don't know why.
I let the button go and the car almost stalled.
Got to get this thing figured out
because now I've got my hometown coming
and they're all Pittsburgh guys
and there's some fast cars coming.
So we need to get this thing figured out and figured out fast.
Well, when we were messing with the AC compressor bracket,
that got behind it.
No, [bleep].
So that's why it popped.
Damn. That cost me that race.
-Well, do we have another one? -Yeah.
Okay.
Junior figured out what happened.
I put a new idler pulley bracket on for the AC
and, don't you know, I smashed the O2 wire
between the head and the bracket.
Totally my fault. I take total blame.
I wasn't paying attention
and that cost me that race.
So now that we've got it figured out,
I've got to get ready for the Pittsburgh team coming.
So, Mark called me from Pittsburgh.
Him and the crew are on their way here.
They'll be here this week.
Okay, that's gonna be cool.
I think it's gonna be great.
This race night will have extra meaning
because the Pittsburgh guys are my friends.
I've grown up with them. I've raced with Matt and Mark all my life.
It will kind of be nice to almost feel normal with those guys around.
But I know Mark wants to race me.
-Yeah. -Why, I have no idea,
but, yeah, he's hellbent on racing me.
I'm all 405 here. I've been for 10 years.
We need to kick their ass.
The only plus...
to this deal is...
they're not racecars like...
-J-Rod's crew. -Yeah
-I mean... -The real deal.
...you know they are. Mark drives his [bleep] over to our shop all the time.
-It's Big Steve. -Yeah.
Big Steve, his stuff's fast. He takes junkyard motors, puts them in his car
and does what you're not supposed to do with them,
but his [bleep] flies and he makes it work.
We need to be on our game.
This race night will have extra meaning because I know these guys.
And you know what?
I want to make a statement with the 405
and show them just how fast we are
because nobody at home really understands how fast we actually are.
I think that is good. All's we've got to do is
let it down and take it for a rip.
-Okay. -All right. Well, let's put it down
-and we'll go try it out. -Sounds good.
[Dave] The race night against J-Rod.
What did you think of that? Were you nervous?
Mmm, I was a little nervous.
So was I.
Everybody's got so much confidence in me when it's...
You know what I mean?
Your track record hadn't been very good up to that point.
-My track record's been horrible. -Yeah.
And they're all like, "We've got all the confidence in the world.
Dave's got this."
And I'm like, "Yeah, y'all full of [bleep]."
As soon as they walked away, they were probably like,
[whispering] "He's gonna screw this up. We're gonna lose."
Guaranteed they said that.
Race night against J-Rod described in one word? Epic.
So are we tied, like, seven seven?
[Murder] Tied seven seven.
[Dave] Come down to me, last race of the night.
Last race determines who wins overall.
When you're under that much pressure
and you have to do something...
Me and Jason, we did it.
[bleep], yeah.
I didn't let nobody down.
I won the deal.
Won it for the team, won it for everybody.
You know, it was just an epic night.
But, anyways, it only made eight pounds a boost on that run.
-That's it? -Yeah.
-So we're gonna... -Bump it up.
-...put more springs in it. -That's why I've got these.
-We're gonna put better springs in there. -There you go.
-I got you. -So, we got turbos and we got nitrous.
It's either more boost or more nitrous.
Well, you already told me you stepped up the nitrous,
so we probably ought to step up the boost.
It's not a bad thing.
I'm okay with it.
We'll need to make 20 pounds a boost for some of these teams,
I guarantee it.
And that's got little baby springs in it too.
'Cause, you know, Krisyana drives this a bunch.
-So I have low springs in it. -Right, so she can't--
So [bleep] she can't make a lot of boost with it.
[Krisyana] What are you doing with the truck?
Oh, speak of the devil. [laughs]
-Look who just showed up. -What are you doing?
-What? -What are you doing?
[Dave hesitates]
Krisyana is my stepdaughter.
I've raised that girl since she was less than a year old.
Couldn't ask for a better step kid.
See these little springs?
-Yeah? -This is what I let you drive around in.
Uh-huh?
This thing will only make, like, three pounds a boost to these little things...
but I need to put a little bit more boost to it.
So that's what we're doing.
We're taking these little things out.
-Y'all springs. Dave's springs. -[Dave] Dave's springs.
The wastegate controls how much boost gets to the motor.
So much exhaust pressure will blow it open,
slows the turbo down, don't make the boost.
So you put heavier springs in there
and it holds it shut longer.
So it makes more boost.
You think I could take this to go hang out with some friends?
If there's someone there with a fast car, are we racing?
How much trouble do you think I'd get in with Mom?
You think I would get in trouble or no?
Depends on if you get caught.
[chuckling] Don't get caught.
-There it's there. -[Dave] Yeah.
She's definitely doing it right.
She's wanting to get some certificates, just like you.
Those are called driving awards, sir.
I don't want to get her hurt.
The truck is extremely fast.
It's been weighed bottom nines at over 150 miles an hour,
without her driving, of course.
How long you had your license?
About a year and a half.
-Got any certificates? -Not yet.
I've only been pulled over once.
[Dave] It's a hard decision to make,
but I will leave the big heavy springs in there.
-If anybody wants to race, [whispers] call me. -Yeah.
-Do I still get to drive it if they want to race? -Yeah, 100%.
Oh, okay.
Just call me 'cause I'm gonna leave the Pimp Juice...
Yup, we're good.
[laughing] Oh, got you.
It's always on "go", girl.
-Thank you. -[Dave] You're welcome.
[man] Be careful with those big springs.
[Krisyana] Oh, God.
[engine starts]
-So, you'll probably be getting a phone call. -Yeah. [laughing]
[Jeff] Oh, that's Brandon.
Brandon, did you come for another ass-whooping?
[all laughing]
[Nova] Man, the old Colorado's pretty cool, though.
That is really [bleep].
That's another tailgate. Look at that.
Mark's in charge of this rat pack here.
Brought your muscle with you.
That's my engine builder Mark. Yep.
[man] Hey, I'm a team player, man. Put me in anywhere.
I'll take on any one of them [bleep].
[Mark] I've known Jeff a long time.
[man] It's what I came here for.
[Mark] We came down here to run the 405 guys.
We wanted to get our hat in the ring.
We think we can compete with these guys just as well.
They're all new to small-tire.
Most of our guys
have been running this size tire for a long time.
That's the difference here.
[Nova] So, we met up with Mark and Matt
and we got a chance to check out their cars in person,
and so far, they're not disappointing us.
I mean, it looks good, guys. Looks like y'all brought some street cars.
[Mark] Yeah. We brought real street cars. Yeah.
[Nova] So, in my ideal, greatest,
uh, picture-perfect race,
it's old-school muscle cars.
That's what we love,
that's what most of our cars are,
and that looks like that's what they brought.
All right, well, just to let you guys know, man,
we really appreciate y'all coming.
See what kind of street cars Pennsylvania has.
-Good deal. -[Nova] All right?
Sounds good.
We're gonna make the crews and we'll see you all over there.
-Sound good? -Okay. Good.
[Nova] Thanks, guys. We'll see y'all in a little bit.
Ah, Drag Week.
-That's where I've seen that thing before. -Yep. Yep.
It's fast, but I don't know how fast "fast" is.
They all look fast, but this is exactly what we say every time.
Yeah.
You know, I brought this team here.
These are my Pennsylvania boys,
and I know most of them,
and these cars are die-hard street cars.
I wanna make a statement with the 405
and show them just how fast we are
because nobody at home really understands how fast we actually are.
Where do you wanna start?
-Don't matter. -I don't care.
-Let's start off at Mark and Matt's stuff. -Okay. Okay.
[Nova] So, last week, we raced against Jrod
and some of his import racers
and we thought, because some of those guys came from the track,
that they may overpower the road.
And that didn't happen.
The surface got pretty good and they did very well.
Lutz has said that a lot of these guys are track racers,
so we definitely don't wanna make that mistake again
and take these guys lightly.
-This thing is gorgeous. -Some of their cars have got big tires.
Is that a 28?
-That is a 29.5x10.5, fellas. -That's what I thought.
No wonder this is one of their fastest cars.
That's a big old tire.
-That's a big old tire. That is a... -[all chattering]
That one right there is a big-tire race car right there.
We got big-tire cars [bleep].
-That is a big-tire. Look at it. -Wow!
This car is cool.
[Nova] Yeah, this is the one that Lutz wants to race.
[Lutz] Yeah, I'd like to race him, yeah.
Fiberglass tilt front end on this one and no interior.
Sounds legit.
Yeah, I've never seen so many backseat delete option cars.
We got a few of 'em with no back seats.
I guess, in Pennsylvania, you gotta pay extra for a back seat.
[Nova] So, as we look at some of these cars,
we start noticing some small things.
There's a couple cars that might have some Lexan windows
instead of real glass.
There's a couple cars that might have a little bit of missing interior.
And a couple of the cars
are sitting on a little bit bigger tire than what we talked about.
Some of them have 29.5s,
and 28x10.5 is what we all agreed upon
and anything bigger than that, to us, is a big tire.
So if we can take those things that they brought
that they didn't follow, really, by the rules,
and use that to our advantage...
Maybe get those cars to go first.
Maybe get those cars
to go against our all-wheel drive cars like Farmtruck and AZN.
If we can do something like that,
then maybe that's what kind of strategy we need to work towards.
There's a couple of races that we feel like we probably need
and Jeff has a guy that he wants.
He wants the Camaro.
Shawn, in my opinion,
I think their '55 with the cheater tire probably oughta race AZN.
Farmtruck or AZN on the '55
considering we can tell them, "Hey, that's a big tire car."
I don't mind that.
We're... Farm's gonna say yes.
-Farm'll say yes. -The guy in the red pro mod over there. The guy...
-It ain't a pro mod! -He's... I know.
-He wants you, obviously. -We've been talking. He's... Yeah.
-I heard he wanted you. -I'm fine with that, right?
He's been telling everybody.
So let's put him early so if it...
Hey, let's just say it really is their fastest car,
and he's very smart,
if he goes last, he's gonna learn from every one of these guys.
I'm still not worried about it.
I did get beat by a [bleep] Honda,
so nothing else could go wrong this year,
-so, I mean... -[all laughing]
[man] Let's give him Chuck.
[Nova] Other than that, man, I say we wing it.
[Farmtruck] All right, they're coming in.
It's all Farmtruck.
-What's Farmtruck doing? -It's just me.
-That's it. It's just me, okay? -[all chattering]
-And this guy? -[all laughing]
Hey, first off, guys,
we appreciate you all coming, man.
What are you guys looking for?
We're looking for decent match-ups.
-We don't wanna be... We don't wanna... -[Nova] So, what do you want?
-Who do you want first? -That's good. I wanna run Jeff.
-[Nova] We don't like that race. -Come on, get in there.
What... What car do you got?
The burgundy '55 is a complete street car.
-It's a heavy all-steel... -These are all complete street cars.
Okay, who do you want Mark to race, then?
-I'll run you, dude. -[man] There you go.
I knew you guys wouldn't. That ain't happening.
-[AZN] Why not? -We didn't come all this way to run a Jeep.
-[AZN] What? -[man] We don't wanna get beat by a Jeep.
Is that an insult? Wait a second.
-That sounded like an insult. -You're gonna get beat by a Jeep?
That gasser over there is cool.
That gasser and Dom would be a good race.
-I agree. That's what we want. -[Chuck] Put them first on the road.
-[Farmtruck] Is that what you want? -You wanna go first, Ken?
Him and Dom, both of 'em are all motor.
-[man 1] Yeah. -[man 2] It's meant to be.
-[man] Let's go first, though. Get it done. -How big is that motor?
-It don't matter about his [bleep] motor. -[Kenny] 396.
-[laughing] It just fell 100 cubic inches! -396.
So it's a 632-inch motor.
-[all chattering] -All right, you can run me.
-Cut it, right? -You put anything on it? Everybody good with this?
Putting anything on it? What do you want on it?
200.
200? All right, yeah, we can do that.
Yeah.
The El Camino.
[Nova] The El Camino?
[Mark] We wanna put our El Camino on you.
You want that?
I'll do it, but...
Hey, whoa! No, no, no.
-We'll give you all that race. No problem. -[all chattering]
-Good luck. -[Nova] All right.
-Who's got the Chevy II? -[Jay] We do.
-You do? All right. -You and me.
-[Jay] I want Reaper. -Cool car, man. Very nice car.
No, I want Reaper.
-Huh? -[Jay] I'm getting R... I want Reaper.
Reaper's probably not gonna race. How about you and me?
-No. -It's a car you guys shouldn't be running out here,
so we're going down a few notes.
There's a car we shouldn't be running out here?
The blue Mustang over there. It's the old X275 car.
-[all chattering] -[bleep]
Look, Damon's car's racing tonight.
We'll let anybody you've got over there at that car.
And I'm telling y'all right now he is not our fastest car.
So, once we get into the drivers' meeting and start talking,
these guys are pushing back on us pretty hard.
Uh, we were happy they did agree to Dom going early.
And Dom has shown
that he can go down any surface early in the night
and we're very happy about that.
Also, Farmtruck's going relatively early,
but they're still dodging the AZN race.
We're definitely gonna have to push back a little bit
to get anywhere close to what we want.
I want the pro mod and Chuck.
You don't want those problems.
-What car you got? -The Firebird, 270...
-You good to go with him in four? -If I have to.
Okay, you and Chuck, four.
-Yeah, but who's Damon racing? -Damon's gonna race him later.
[Damon] Chuck, I'll [bleep] him up right after you do.
Okay, so we need AZN to go number five.
And I want that Nova.
We want Nova and Nova.
I think that'd be a good match-up.
-Okay, so... Okay, so who do y'all want on the Jeep? -Mike.
-What is it? What do you got? -Pontiac Firebird.
I don't mind it. Yeah. Yeah. I like it.
Five. Y'all are five, okay?
And then the sixth is Grand National and Doc.
-[AZN] Red shirt guy. -[Nova] Number six.
Damn, I'm just "Red shirt guy."
That's Josh. Josh against him.
Who else left in your crew?
Who else left... Who hasn't raced yet?
Seventh race... The seventh race, Shane, Reaper.
-[man] Who? -Shane, Reaper.
[Mark] Shane, Reaper. Seventh race.
-You can't argue against that race. -Oh...
I mean, what are you afraid of? What's the problem?
I ain't afraid of you or your car.
-[Mark] Well, then, why... How long you waiting to race? -It's a team. It's a team.
-It's a team. We make our decisions together. -[all chattering]
-I don't wanna hear all that. -[all chattering]
You do not wanna go there.
[bleep]
-What? -What are you gonna do?
Stand there all [bleep] night?
I'll stand here all [bleep] night if I want to.
-Okay. [bleep] -How the [bleep] would you like that?
[bleep] you. [bleep].
-I don't know who the [bleep] you think you are. -[bleep]
What's your... What car you got?
[bleep]
-What car you got? -Race him.
-What car you got? -Race him [bleep].
Shut the [bleep] up. You ain't got a car.
What are you gonna do? Stand there all [bleep] night?
-I'll stand here all [bleep] night if I want to. -Okay.
How the [bleep] would you like that?
[bleep] you. [bleep]
Who the [bleep] you think you are.
What's your... What car you got?
-Why don't you go [bleep]. -What car you got?
-Race him. Race him. -What car you got?
So shut the [bleep] up. You ain't got a car.
[Nova] Where we at? You wanna lock these two in?
Do you wanna do it?
Seven?
[all chattering]
Okay, number seven right here.
I think you two need to go number eight.
-You and the green Nova. -Okay. Who's the green Nova?
-[Nova] The green Nova is this guy right here. -[man] That's number eight.
-Number eight. -You wanna do it?
-Yeah. -Okay, green Nova.
Run me.
-[Eric] Eight, nine. Whatever. -Nine?
-Yeah.
[man] So, are we doing Dave on Herb?
-You'll be number 10. Dave and Herb. -Okay.
You wanna be 11 so we can get to just [bleep]?
I always wanted to race you, but this is a team.
We do it as a team.
I'm not gonna jump out in front of nobody else.
I'll lock in on Monza.
-Yeah? -Mmm-hmm.
There you go.
-Right there for number, what, 12? -Yeah.
Jay wants another race,
but then he'd be 11th and then 13th.
-You wanna do it? -Yeah. Y'all good with that?
-[all chattering] -Okay. Okay. Okay.
[all chattering]
-Chec at 14. -14?
-Yeah. 14.
[Nova] Okay.
How about we're the last race of the night?
We're good with that. We're good with that.
-Is that 15 races? -Yeah.
Quickest drivers' [bleep].
-Now the money. -All right, guys.
Hey, listen, guys.
Okay, let me explain to you guys...
Kind of what we've done with some of the other teams
is we've all pooled together.
There's 15 races.
We've all said each driver put in 100, 200...
-We'll go 200 bucks. -[Nova] 200 a car, okay.
So it's 3,000 bucks.
[Nova] Y'all's 3,000 versus our 3,000.
Okay, get 'em up here.
[Dom] Hey, Brad, look.
-I'll [bleep] jump... -[Brad] You need to get on the box.
[Dom] I would definitely need to get on the box.
-You gonna let him call it? -Well, I mean, he did drive further.
-You ready? -Right on. Go ahead. Tails.
-[Nova] Man, it is tails. -[bleep]
At your lane, sir.
[Kenny] All right, we're gonna take right.
-[Nova] Okay. -Okay. Right on.
We're here yet again
with another amazing group of real-deal hot rods.
Fella with this straight-axle '55 Chevy with a flip front end
decided that they wanted to pick on me.
They won't tell me how big the engine is.
It's naturally aspirated,
so I'm either fixing to have a really good race
or I'm fixing to get my teeth kicked in.
One of the two.
[engine revving]
I'm Ken Stasiak from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Uh, we got a '55 Chevy.
It's a 210. It's got a big-block Chevy in it.
Naturally aspirated. No nitrous, no nothing.
It's a single carburetor and does the deal.
Straight axle. Old school.
The only other naturally aspirated car here was Dominator's.
So we just figured it would look good,
like the American Graffiti thing, you know?
You got the yellow coupe and the black '55.
It was meant to be.
So we're gonna have a good time
and hopefully pull a win out of it.
[all cheering]
[bleep]
[all clapping]
[Nova] Hey, that was a good race, wasn't it?
All right, man, what's the call? What have we got?
[man over walkie] Left lane by a bumper.
[Nova] Left lane by a bumper!
I wouldn't have put no money that Dom won that race.
Man, that was close. That was close.
As long as they're all that close, I'll be happy.
[Dominator chuckling]
[Dominator grunts]
[Dominator speaking]
[Nova] So, Dom gets the first win of the night
and it was a close race.
It's always good to have a car like Dom's
that can go down any surface first
and you can be confident in him.
But their car made a good pass too.
It was a really close race.
So if that's any indication on how the night's gonna go,
it's probably gonna be pretty good.
[Dom] That was a [bleep] match-up right there.
In the middle, we both started moving around a bit.
I was like [bleep] round.
[Farmtruck] You ready to flip a coin to get a lane?
I'm ready to flip a coin, baby.
-Call it in the air. -Heads I win, tails you lose.
Nope, that's not gonna work.
You're gonna call one.
-Yeah? -All right, I'm...
-In the air. -I'll take heads.
[AZN] It's heads.
I'll take the right lane.
-You'll take the right? -Yeah.
-All right, man, we'll see you out there, all right? -All right.
-How long, man? -[AZN] Be safe out there, man.
I'm pretty close to being ready.
-[Mark] Me too. -Okay.
He did say, "I didn't drive all this way to race a Jeep."
Uh, I don't know if that was a put-down or a cut-down.
I'm not sure what exactly he meant by that,
but I'm gonna take it as a compliment
because I'm a positive kinda guy.
Get me that other seatbelt.
And being second down,
uh, that's our only hope
to outrun that awesome '55 Chevy.
Their team captain has to be an experienced racer.
He has to know that car very well.
Uh, I think I've got a full plate.
Um, we'll see what happens.
Where do you want me?
I'm racing Farmtruck in one of the Jeeps.
I don't know if it's the silver or the brown one.
Honestly, I knew they'd wanna go down first 'cause that's their gig.
And that's fine. I just wanna gap 'em.
Hey!
Okay, it went out. It went out. It went out.
Oh, it didn't go out.
-Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! -[all shouting]
-[bleep] Rich! -[all shouting]
[AZN] Farmtruck, he's still driving.
[laughing] He's still driving.
I synced it. That's why I started to get out of the way.
He thought he was... He woulda...
-He thought he was faster. -[laughing] Yeah, he thought...
Man, I don't miss them days.
There again, all-wheel drive versus two-wheel drive.
We were the second pair down.
Um, sadly enough, he had a fire on the line.
I didn't see any of it. I was gone.
Uh, I hope that his car's not hurt
and he can get it gathered up
because I think he locked in another race for later
and hopefully he can make that.
You [bleep] hunk of [bleep].
Uh, it's never done that before in all its life.
I just got after the spray a little bit too early.
The motor was a little bit too low on RPM
and, uh, it didn't like it.
You gotta be [bleep] me.
I'm not sure if we're actually gonna try it tonight again
'cause there was some metal went through the engine
and I'm not really sure if I wanna chance doing that through it.
So I might talk to Jeff about running him in my Nova rather than the '55.
-You all right? -Hold this wrench right here.
[Jeff] How the [bleep] that happen?
It's never done it before in its life.
I know! I watched it make [bleep] 20 passes last night.
[bleep]
All right.
Thought he should call it. He came from--
I mean, he drove a long ways.
So you ready to call?
Sure. Heads.
Heads it is, man. What's your lane?
Man, somebody needs to flip for me is what needs to happen.
-[man] You wanna take left? -Yeah, I'll take left.
-[man] All right. Cool. -Thanks, man.
My name's Jeff Oppenheim. I'm from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Um, I have a 1986 El Camino.
It's a turbo LS.
-Good luck, Jeff. Good luck, buddy. -Thanks. Thanks.
[Jeff] I will be going up against Kamikaze.
So G-body on G-body time.
We're playing conservative.
You can see, like, the street looks a little tricky, so...
It's a little bit bare, so...
So, I mean, we're gonna see how well it goes.
No. Yo.
Can you feel that bolt?
So, here we are again out here racing.
I haven't done too great so far.
I got a new car I bought to make sure I was hurting my buddies
'cause my other car isn't finished.
And every night I'm racing, I'm pretty much testing.
Come on, nitrous. Work.
Just do your job.
The car isn't working like I want it to since I brought it out,
but I've been busting my ass, you know,
testing on the streets every night.
I've made some good changes. I think I'm going in the right direction.
But I'm racing an El Camino.
A little bit of wheel speed's okay.
Not too much wheel speed.
Be good to me.
I took a look at that guy's car.
It's not like mine was,
but, still, he makes a little more power than me
and that car should work somewhat decent.
My strategy is I'm gonna spray the [bleep] out of this thing,
try and get out, make that guy try and catch me.
I hope I'll pull off a win for the 405 and for myself.
[engines revving]
Come on, Kamikaze. [bleep]
-He's owing five. -I know. [laughing]
I feel bad for him.
Oh, he hit the brake lights early!
He hit the brake lights early.
[Kamikaze shouts] Yeah!
-[bleep] yeah! -[Nova] What's the call down there?
[man over walkie] Right lane by a car.
Right lane!
[all clapping]
[man shouts] Aw, yeah!
[Kamikaze] Hell yes!
-[all chattering] -That's the way you do it.
-[bleep] -Yes!
[Kamikaze] So, after all the work on this car
and chasing the tune-up trying to get this thing right...
I made a few changes today.
Came out here, kinda swung for it,
having to pull off a win which I needed very badly.
[exhales] About [bleep] time.
All in all, 405's 3-0.
Made a little money. Got the win. Everything's good.
The rods are still in it. Load it up. Going home.
I've been fighting the [bleep] out of that car. I needed that.
[man] Oh, you gotta flip.
Heads.
[Nova] Man, it is heads.
I'll take either lane. I'll take the dirt. You...
You wanna take the left? Do you...
-Are you a turbo car? -Yeah.
-You need to go in first? -No.
-He'll bump in. -I'm gonna bump in.
-Hey, good luck. Be safe. -Be safe.
Old Steve over there
in his red, lights-out, radio car
thinks he wants a piece of Chuck
and thinks he wants a piece of Damon.
[bleep] talk to me. I'mma [bleep] disappoint him.
I should be nicer to people.
I should go to church with Josh on Sunday.
In my opinion, he bit off more than he can chew,
but, look,
I'm a little guy with an old stock-ass [bleep] junk-ass howdy motor
and I'm going to shove it
straight in his [bleep] for 500 bucks.
[Steve] Steven Chechack.
I drive the red firebird.
It's the red money-grabbing [bleep]
It's a 427.
I don't think I'm the fastest,
but I wasn't coming here to race the slowest car.
Paper towels on the back seat and floor.
[man] CO2...
[Steve] I'm gonna do that next.
I had word that everybody was afraid on Chuck.
I think I got enough power to do what I gotta do to beat him.
So as long as I don't spin tire across the finish line,
I believe we'll be in front of him.
So I got this.
[man shouting]
[engines revving]
[all shouting]
[Nova] So, right now, we're 3-0
and Chuck's up.
And Chuck lost one of his races last week.
And Chuck's the type of guy where
that's running through his mind right now
because he doesn't wanna get another loss.
Uh, that can go either way.
Uh, if you focus too much on the last race that you lost,
it might affect the race that you're about to do
and that's never a good thing.
Yeah!
Couldn't get it hooked up.
Left lane [bleep] !
Left lane!
I'm sorry, right lane!
-What the hell! -[bleep] My bad! My bad!
Look, like I said, I didn't feel like they had anything for me.
[bleep] ! [bleep] !
I just wanted the win, and, uh, I wanted to show these Pennsylvania guys
what this old, uh, junkass Mustang'll do.
I feel like I got the job done.
We're up 4-0, and, uh, if anybody on that team
maybe wants some later on, I'm gonna be here all [bleep] night.
-You gonna call it in the air? -I'm callin' it.
-All right. Here we go. -Yep.
-I don't know what's head or tails. -Tails.
[coin bouncing]
-[Azn] It's tails, right? -All right, it's your lane.
-It was lady? There you go. -I'll take right lane.
Sounds good to me.
-Okay, all right. Right on. -They're you go.
Uh, what... What power adder?
Uh, turbo, so I would like to go in first if you don't mind, er... Uh, you know.
-Yeah. -I don't mind.
I think you can find it in your heart.
I don't... I don't mind it, tell Murder.
I got the land I want, how could I resist givin' him, you know.
-Nah, that's cool. -Okay.
And he needs to... To have a fair race, he needs to spool up.
-He didn't speak up in the driver's meeting, so... -Right.
...I didn't feel like proddin' him.
He might have not even wanted this race.
You know what? It's apparent to me that these guys don't like Jeeps.
Uh, maybe these guys are scared of Jeeps,
uh, maybe they're scared of all-wheel drive.
-Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. -You got it.
They said that they wanted to us, um, they wanted to race some faster guys,
and didn't wanna take my money.
But that kinda sounds like they're side-steppin', uh, the... The all-wheel drive.
Tonight, we need to put another "W" on the board,
to know that we're still here.
We're already two up, more to go.
[Farmtruck] You... You 'bout that far away, you gonna scrub 'em?
-[Azn] Maybe, yeah. -Uh, he gonna scrub 'em!
My name's Mike Hamilton. This is my 2000 Pontiac Firebird.
It is a 340-cubic-inch LS motor, stock block.
Basically put the car together with everyone's hand me down parts.
I'm goin' against Azn and the Jeep.
I don't know if this Jeep's anything like Farmtruck's,
it looks like it leaves pretty good.
My plan is just to, uh, pour the coals to it out the back,
and, uh, see if I can come around on some good ol' turbo power.
[engine revving]
[tires screeching]
Attaboy, Azn! Ha-ha!
Good job, guys. Good job.
-Aw, crap, I forgot to bet someone on that race. -[all laughing]
-I was so excited! -Almost.
Dammit! Does anyone wanna bet on that race?
All right, what's the call down there?
[radio] Right lane! Right lane!
Okay, all right. I was worried. I was worried. I was worried.
-All right, kick ass [bleep] ! -Good job.
You know what, there's a reason why the 405, like these all-wheel Jeeps,
and there's a reason why Farmtruck and I have chosen
these Jeeps to come out here and race with these boys.
They work, they're heavy.
They don't make as much power as these other guys,
but we get down the road every single time.
Yeah, hell, yeah! That's why he didn't wanna race a Jeep.
-[Azn] Oh, great... Uh, hey, he gotta run from me. -[Farmtruck laughing] .
And these guys are, uh, they're hearin' about it.
They're building a reputation, so we're feelin' pretty good about the combination.
It's was clean? Everything's clean?
-No controversy? Okay, all right. All right. -Animal Azn.
-I keep thinkin' a ja... -Good job.
I keep thinkin' I didn't take the "W".
-[cameraman speaking] -Uh, okay.
[Doc] You ready?
-Here we go. -Tails.
[coin bouncing]
And it is a... That is a tails, sir.
I honestly don't care. I guess I'll take left lane.
-Left lane? -Yep.
-All right. You bet, buddy. -Good luck.
-Racers. -Good luck, guys.
-Did... Hey, Brian... -Yes, sir.
-...did that just happen? -[Brian] Yeah.
-Okay. -[Brian] He goes... "I just got that, okay."
It seems like the right lane is doing better tonight.
It's the lane I definitely want, but for some reason,
Josh chose the left lane, putting me in the lane that I wanted.
I don't know, maybe he knows something I don't. I guess we're about to find out.
Sometimes it just works out, huh?
I, uh, lost the coin toss, but I got right lane.
-Huh! That's odd. -He said, "I honestly don't care,
-so I'll take left lane." -Right on!
-I was like-- -Did you really lose, then?
-No. -There you go.
[Doc] We are 5 and 0 going into my race,
so I got a little bit a pressure on me.
I gotta keep that undefeated streak alive against Josh and the Grand National.
I don't know much about the car, just a twin-turbo LS steel,
but I did hear a little secret that they just got the car,
I think he's only had the car for, like, ten or 15 days.
So, I'm hopin' that they just don't have it completely dialed in.
[Josh] I think later on today, that line out there is gonna turn to [bleep] .
So, right now's gonna be our only chance to make a good lick.
So, I'm Josh Chechak, I'm from outta Pittsburgh.
I drive a '87 Grand National 403, Chevy small block LS twin-turbo.
I came to have fun and make a [bleep] lick.
Yeah, let's [bleep] this guy up.
So, I'm racin' Doc.
I didn't really look at his car too much, be honest with ya.
I seen it's like a ProCharger or a nitrous.
That's too much [bleep] .
We're racin' on the street here, I'm not worried about it.
End of the game, it's just a tuner's game, and gettin' power to the road.
That's all it comes down to.
You guys wanna bet some money?
It won't be like last time, dude.
I'll take your money this next time.
[engine revving]
[Josh] We're down five to none right now.
[engine revving]
[Josh] Someone needs to turn it around, and I'm the someone.
We're goin' to give it hell out there, and let the car eat.
-I like it. I like it. -Hell, yeah.
-That was a jump, wasn't it? -That was a jump.
[bleep] !
Was that Doc gurglin?
Who was the gurgle?
I don't know. Was that Doc's? That had to have been Doc's.
-Not Josh. -It seemed like it didn't got nothin' on the big end.
All right, what's the call down there?
[radio] Left lane by a car.
[shouting] Left lane by a car, but...
[man shouting]
-Oh, left lane jumped hard. -Yeah? You sure?
[shouting] Hell, yeah!
[Doc] I didn't even need to try.
-But you probably saw him jump? -Yeah, yeah.
He jumped. I knew he jumped before I released the transbrake. He was gone.
The car rolled out, on our Dragy we picked up some good numbers at 60 foot.
And then, right before the shift, the bell broke.
He shifted and just fell right on his face.
I knew somethin' was up, but I'm still celebratin', 'cause I got the win.
Oh no, what happened?
Yeah, you're leakin' somethin', bro.
-[Doc] I threw a belt. That's what happened. -[man 1] Yes, you did.
[Murder] Even though we're up 6-0, we can't get comfortable.
We can't take these guys lightly,
because we don't know what type of cars they got comin' next.
We've been in the lead early before, and almost lost it,
and we're not tryin' to let that happen again.
-[man 1] That's why it didn't have any boost. -[man 2] Yep.
That's why as soon as I shifted it threw the belt off.
-[man 3 speaking] -Thank God, 'cause we threw a belt.
[exhaling] That [bleep] sucks.
Here it goes!
[Bob Bauer] Tails.
That is a... I cannot see very well.
I'm going to pick this straight up like this.
It looks like a tails, but let's check it.
What the... Yes, that's tails.
[Bob] I was, like, right lane.
-You want right? Okay, you got it. -Yep.
[Jeff Lutz] You know, I brought this team here.
These are my Pennsylvania boys, and I know most of them,
and these cars are diehard street cars.
I think I got my work cut out for me.
So, Junior asked what to do, and, you know,
I always tell him, you do what you do and I'll hang on.
[engine revving]
[Murder] So, Jeff's up next, and at this point,
there's a little more pressure on Jeff than normal.
These are his old racing buddies.
These are the guys that he wants to beat, no matter what.
He doesn't want to come and race with us,
and get beat by guys he used to race with.
So at this point, I do believe that Jeff has a lot ridin' on his shoulders,
and a lot ridin' on this race.
[engine revving]
Those are good! Those are good!
My name's Bob Bauer. I'm from Butler, Pennsylvania. I've got a '73 Z28 Camaro,
big block nitrous car.
I'm gonna race Jeff Lutz, and he's gonna have to catch me.
-He's not shuttin' em out. -Hell, yeah!
-He was wigglin'. -We're havin' extra kits and [bleep] .
I think he was all motor up until about 250 feet.
All right, what's the call down there?
[radio] Left lane, by a car.
[shouting] Left lane, by a bumper!
-7 and 0. -Damn, he was suckin' him up, wasn't he?
[engine revving]
We're racin' Pittsburgh tonight, we're up 7-0.
I'm sorry to do that to my hometown people, but you know what?
I represent the 405 here in the 405.
I've been with these guys for ten years. These are my boys, too.
So, this is where I race,
anybody else comin' into our house is gonna get their ass kicked.
Holy [bleep] !
Yeah, baby. Hey, nice [bleep] job. Damn!
[Jeff laughing]
-Jeff! That's my best? -What? Yeah [bleep] !
-Okay, tails never fails. -Okay?
[Ryan] Tails never fails.
-And it didn't today. -And it did not fail, it is tails, sir.
[Matt Vinson] All right, well, you know what lane I want.
I have no clue, what lane you gettin'?
-I want the right, yes sir... -You're goin' right, okay.
-No problem. -...and we're doin' two, right?
-Two hundred? All right. Okay. -We got $200, yes, sir. You bet! Okay.
-[man 4] We're goin' off on left? -[Ryan] We're goin' left.
It's 7-0, 8-0 is a run rule, and that means we're back in the money.
Kind of a lotta pressure on me, here.
I think I have one of their faster cars. It, at least, looks the part.
I feel like I have one of our faster cars,
so it should be a pretty good race.
We're gonna wanna look at oil pressure after this.
[cameraman 2] How did it do on the pre-hole here?
-About [bleep] . -[cameraman 2] Getting close to timeline was it still 20?
Still at 20, maybe 22 or somethin'.
We started our real slow, we were real lazy outta the hole.
And now we've gotten to where at the last race,
we actually made one of our better passes.
So, we're gonna capitalize on that, try to turn it up just a little bit more.
Hopefully, I can get us 8-0, and not get our first "L", that's not what I want.
-We ready, boys? -[man 5] What we got?
[man 6] Smack that ass, buddy!
I'm Matt Vinson from Pittsburgh, PA, uh, this is a '70 Chevy Nova.
I'm racing Ryan Martin in, uh, his Camaro.
We should have somethin' for him.
It's... This is one of our faster cars, so we're givin' it what we got.
[engine revving]
-What's better than this, man? -I know, I know. Nothing!
That's a cool ass car. About two cool ass cars, man.
[tires screeching]
[crowd cheering]
-That was a good race, son. -That was a good race.
All right, what you got down there, hey?
[radio] Left lane. Left lane.
[shouting] Left lane!
Huh? That's all the marbles right there, baby, ooh, yeah!
That's it, baby, that's a [bleep] money pair right there.
[man 7] All right! Yeah!
[Ryan] We were 7-0, it was up to me to clinch it and get the money.
We still have a lotta chances left,
but I damn sure didn't wanna be the first guy to lose.
So, we were able to pull off a "W".
It looked like a pretty close race from what I could tell,
uh, the guy was pretty close to me in the other lane for a second.
Mine moved a little towards the curb,
but I didn't wanna lip, I was afraid he was gonna clip me at the end or somethin'.
8-0, we got the money, now let's see if we can finish this thing off.
-Good job, bro! Good job! -Yeah, man.
-If you lose to a convertible Mustang... -I know.
-...you better drive your ass off. -I know.
-I just keep on goin'. -Just go.
-Just... Hey, grab my ice chest and all my guys... -[Jeff] Yeah.
-...and all that stuff. I'm just gonna keep on goin'. -No, I'm gonna leave it here.
[Jeff laughing]
So, I'm up next and I'm racing Eric and his Fox Body convertible.
At this point, we're up 8-0, we've already won.
At this point it's swapped over to not being the first person to lose,
and I don't want that to be me.
Hey, listen, this is a lotta pressure for me, too.
-I can't be the first person to flag a losin' race, either. -What?
-So, don't do that. -[Murder] Oh, I can't do that to you.
-Are we up right now? -I am.
-I am gonna sweep. -Yeah, Ryan, and then Shawn is.
What? No, are we up?
-Are we winning. -Oh yeah, no,
-it's 8-0. -We won. We won.
-We won. -Okay, go ahead and lose.
-Oh, man. -No!
Yeah, 'cause I'm right after you, I don't wanna be the first one to lose.
The pressure of the winning streak that we're on right now
is somethin' that you don't talk about, but every person out there's thinkin' it.
They're team is over there thinkin' I wanna get the first win of the team.
Our team's thinkin' I can't get the first loss, uh, of the team.
And there's more pressure in a situation like this, than if the race was really close.
Somebody bet me $20 [bleep] !
-I'm all outta money, you [bleep] robbed us. -I didn't rob ya.
I didn't bet nobody all night.
[engine revving]
[man 8] Ow, [bleep] !
My name is Eric Moser, I'm from Cabot, PA, and I drive an '84 Mustang convertible,
small block Ford nitrous.
First time doin' this.
Would love to get the first win, bring the team back up, get the morale up.
Uh, everybody loves the underdog story. I wanna whoop his ass.
-Good job! That's way better. -Yeah!
-Whoo! -That's a good look.
-Nice job! -That's the best that thing's looked. Good job.
Good job, guys. Good job.
You gonna call that there, Ryan?
Uh, I mean, I feel like it called itself, but I will. What we got down there?
[bleep] !
[radio] Left lane. Left lane.
-By how much? -We won it. We won now.
[radio] A school bus.
Oh, left lane by a school bus, good job, guys.
I'll be honest with you, gettin' our asses whipped by Big Mark's, uh,
group the other night, it... It... It taught us a lot.
Oh, yeah!
[Murder] I've changed my burnouts. I've changed, uh, how I stage the car.
Gave it a little bit more boost, uh, we put some nitrous on it.
I stopped goin' off a transbrake.
Uh, I was tired of gettin' left at the line by people,
so I foot braked the car, and it picked up everywhere.
Without lookin' at the data yet,
I'd say that's one of the fasted passes that we've made out here.
So, uh, as long as I keep doin' this, I'll be happy,
and the car will get faster, and I'll be even happier.
This is gonna sound bad, but that's the fastest pass I've... I've made out here.
I foot braked it, and just eased into it, and I'm tellin' you right now, man,
on the Dragy and on the data, that's the fastest pass I've made.
-That was a good lick. -So, thank you, brother.
-Hey, thank you, man. Appreciate it. -Anytime, man. Anytime.
-I'll... I'll... I'll see you. -I hope so.
-I will. -I wanna rematch.
-[Murder] All right, you're callin' it? -[Herb Burden] Yep! Heads.
[coin bouncing]
-[Herb straining] All right, uh, heads. -[Murder] It is heads.
-See! See! -I don't think we lost a coin toss, yet.
-That's because I've been flippin'. -[all laughing]
-Uh... -Left lane.
You takin' the left? Yeah, you shoulda said that, I'd a gave that to ya.
[all laughing]
You sure you don't wanna rethink?
-Oh... -No, they're pretty close
-to the same. They're close... -...I know they're really close.
-They're not even close. -I... No, they are, and I... I'm tellin' ya, they're...
-...They're close. -They are, I'm just [bleep] with ya.
So, last week, I pulled the win outta my [bleep] for the team.
We ended that deal at 7-8, uh, because of my win.
This week, new crew, new cars, new racers,
another truck, uh, and so far, it's been a clean sweep.
So, we're up. Nobody has lost yet, and hopefully, I can continue that.
I don't wanna be the first loser.
One day, I'm gonna race a car.
We're tryin' somethin' new with this, we're gonna try to get the hop outta it.
We're gonna put more power on it, hopefully it gets more wheel speed,
so the truck don't bounce.
I added heavier weight gate springs,
so it'll make more boost, and hopefully, it'll make the truck faster.
I don't know nothin' about this Colorado, other than it's got a big turbo,
and it's got, like, a five-inch pipe stickin' outta the hood.
We're gonna see what it's all about.
-[man 9] What lane are you in, Burd? -Left lane.
-[man 9] Left lane. -Herb Burden,
2007 Chevy Colorado, uh, LS turbo.
I'm racin' Daddy Dave, and we are definitely gonna drag his ass.
Just let me roll up those fat ones up.
[Herb] It's a challenge out here dealing with the different altitude,
different things, different tuning,
but we're street racers, and you learn from losin'.
So, if we do lose, and I do lose, we best believe we'll come back harder and stronger.
[auctioneering] 20 grand, I'm lookin' at 20, 20, I'm lookin' at 20 grand.
20 grand, now, yep, yep yep, yep, now 20.
[laughing] I'm lookin' now 20, yep, yep and yep, now 20.
[engine revving]
[man 10] That was good. That's enough.
That's enough, guys.
-He's comin' first... -Okay.
...all right, so I don't care how much time he takes.
[engine revving]
It's a rippa!
[tires screeching]
-[Murder] Oh, my God. -[man 11] His truck ain't makin' no boost.
-[Murder] Holy [bleep] ! -[man 11] Man, that...
-He didn't make... He didn't make nothin'. -[man 11] That's upsetting.
-[Murder] No CO2, baby -[man 11] That's upsetting.
Right lane!
Yeah, it... It didn't make no boost.
I'm pretty sure when he pulls back in, we're gonna see the boots blown off of it.
Boo! Boo!
The tweaks really helped out.
The truck made the fastest passes it's ever had.
I kept our winning streak alive,
and we're up 10-0.
This is turning out to be a great night for 405.
Ah...
[Farmtruck] He made the trip.
He made the trip!
He couldn't get up on boost, could he?
I don't know.
This is bad.
-That was bad. -That was bad.
My bad!
Mark's out there yelling.
[imitating Mark] He's at the red light! In Mustang!
[chuckling] Yup.
I'm not gonna call it. You're the one who won a damn car.
Oh, yeah, well, maybe I'll get lucky and get the coin toss too.
Yeah, well... you've already established you're lucky.
[Murder Nova] Reaper's our next race,
and if we're being totally honest,
Reaper's had a rough season.
He's put in a lot of time, he's put in a lot of work,
and a lot of the things have not worked out for him.
He's brought multiple different cars,
and tonight he's got his shoebox Nova,
which in my opinion, is one of his fastest cars.
The car's made killer passes in the past.
With the bad luck that he's been having,
hopefully he breaks that cycle and gets a win here.
-You ready? -[Jay] Yup.
Heads!
[coin clinking]
[Daddy Dave] ...and he's still lucky.
-That [bleep]. -I knew it, I knew it!
-You better be good! -Which lane you want?
The right!
Yeah, your luck ran out, my ass.
[all laughing]
The guys from Pennsylvania, they brought some fast cars.
I'm racing one of the fastest guys they have.
I don't have a really good feeling,
I'm not confident about the car,
'cause I still haven't made a test pass,
and I damn sure don't want to be the first one tonight to lose.
But it's a chance that I'm gonna have to take.
[woman kissing] All right, I love you.
I know that guy's lucky, 'cause he won that car.
I hate when we're racing lucky people.
I'm not making excuses.
I'm gonna go out there and run the car the best that I can.
Hopefully my driving will outdo his luck.
My name is Jay Grabiak, I'm from Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
My car's a 1967 Chevy Nova II.
It's got a 555 Block Racing Engine
with a single stage of, uh, Induction Solutions Nitrous.
Happy to be here, and, uh, you know?
Just try to whip Reaper's ass.
Get some wins for our team.
[car revving]
Yeah!
[Murder Nova] All right!
Yeah!
-See? -Yeah!
See?
-[all cheering] -Good job!
There it is! [bleep]!
Hey, Reaper got that [bleep] rolling!
[man] Oh, [bleep]!
It's about time. Hey, he'd been working his ass off on that thing.
I'll bet even Reaper's smiling ear to ear right now.
All right, what's the call down there?
What do we got?
[referee on walkie talkie] Left lane by the bumper.
Left lane by a bumper!
We talked about it, we're like, "Man,
at some point, he gonna figure it out," and he did.
[all applauding]
-[man 1] Good job, man. -[man 2] That was a cool pass from you.
Cool pass.
Hey, watch what you wish for, [bleep].
They was [bleep] just hollering about [bleep] getting Reaper.
-Nice job, baby! -[all] Nice! Whoo!
[all cheering] Good job! Good job!
[Murder Nova] Hey, hey, he's trying not to smile and [bleep].
Hey, he was like...
[all laughing]
[Murder Nova] He was trying to be tough in there,
but you know he's smiling.
-[chuckling] -[man] Yeah, baby.
[Reaper] Boy, we [bleep] needed that.
Good job!
I needed that.
Still, that... it got [bleep] banged in high gear.
It still ain't right.
That's the first pass I've ever made in a car
the whole way through without having a problem of some kind.
No [bleep], holy.
Or putting four quarts of oil on the ground.
That's a badass car.
Oh, dude, man, you were getting it.
That's what a team does.
And that was the best feeling.
That was the best feeling ever,
because all those guys up there supported me.
You have no idea the struggle bus
-I've been on with that car. -Oh, yeah?
They know I needed that just like Kamikaze needed that win tonight.
Sometimes, that... that one win gives you that extra push.
-See all these oil spots all over here? -Yeah.
-That's me. -Oh, nice.
-Yeah. -[Jay] Maybe I had some of that on my tire.
-I think maybe you did. -Yeah.
-Hey... -And my luck ran out.
I... I... Yeah.
And I needed that push, because I was all out
of the ambition I've had for this
has just about ran out till just now.
-You guys have been great. -Thank you, sir.
Thanks, brother.
[man] You gettin' over there?
[Monza] No pressure.
Uh, right now, we're 11-0.
None of us wanna get that first loss.
Car's been running good.
Just little minor stuff, I think we got that...
-...all locked in. -At least if I lose,
it ain't a loss that'll cost us the money.
[chuckling] True that.
We've got a car here that we pretty much changed everything on last night.
And we've made one test hit about 5:30 this morning
on some bare blacktop, so we really don't know what's gonna happen here.
But we're gonna swing for the fence here and see what happens.
I'm just saying.
[Josh] Race the road.
So I'm here to run against Monza.
Coming out, I was a little...
...I guess a little too jittery for the first time racing.
[man 1 speaking]
[man 2 speaking]
[man 1 speaking]
[Josh] This time, no point at jumping the light.
When it turns white...
...I'mma let go of the button.
All right.
That was a good hit.
[Monza muffled] I don't even know what the [bleep] happened.
He made... he made... he made a better pass the first one.
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
What's the call down there?
[referee on walkie-talkie] Right lane, right lane.
-Right lane! -[AZN] How many? How many?
By this much.
[AZN chuckling] Yeah.
[all applauding]
[Murder Nova] Not bad! Not bad, old man.
Yeah, boy!
We've made a gear change last night,
we made a bar change.
-That's a solid hit. -[Monza] Yeah.
The car seems to really like it.
Well, we've got something to work with now.
We got it... We got it where we can control it.
[Murder Nova] So right now, we're 12-0,
and races like this are kind of unheard of.
But, this is exactly what we needed.
We needed to prove to ourselves and prove to everybody
that we're getting faster.
We still have three races left,
and with every win comes a little bit more pressure
on not being the first person with a loss.
-[Monza] Good race, buddy. -Good race.
[Monza] Good job.
[Ryan] Hey, sir. How are you?
-[Jay] Good. Yourself, sir? -Good, good, good.
Gotta race that beautiful little black Nova over there, huh?
[Jay] Yeah.
[Ryan] Man, that thing is pretty.
-It is-- -[Ryan] That's...
-That is a beautiful car. -[Jay] Thanks.
So, it's came back around to me again.
I agreed to race twice tonight.
I've got the, uh, little black shoebox Nova that James raced.
It was a pretty close race, that thing looked like it made a pretty good pass.
We're not gonna take him lightly.
We spun a little bit on the pass before.
I think we're actually gonna turn the car down a little bit up top.
Try to make it drive a little better...
...and just do what I do.
-All right, you ready? -Yup.
Heads.
[coin clinking]
[Murder Nova] Ah...
-I'm just not any good at this, man. -No!
Yeah, no, you lost.
-Oh, okay. Well, it happens. -You lost.
Actually, you didn't lose. This guy won.
-Yeah, okay. -It's your lane.
Um, let me talk to my guys real quick.
That's okay, no problem. Thank you.
[Ryan] You know, I was worried about it when we were 7-0,
and I needed to be 8-0, which would've clenched it for us.
So I was able to pull that off.
But since then, everybody has won as well.
So now we're back around to me,
and we're still undefeated, and I do not want to be the first loser.
[Reaper] Jay's gonna get what lane?
We don't know that yet. We did not get a choice.
I'm guessing I'm going left again.
Yeah, I'mma bet we go left.
We had to go 42 at one point.
What? So we turned it up.
[Ryan] Uh, this is the opportunity to make it 12-0.
[Jeff] That's what I'm saying.
I'm gonna do everything I can to do that.
-[man] You can do this [bleep]. -[Jay] Good luck, sir.
-Good luck. -[Jay] Sir, be careful.
I'm about ready to race Ryan Martin,
I think he's probably gonna be hard to beat,
but who knows?
He could blow the tires off and I'd come around him.
But, you know, I wanna redeem myself and our team a little bit.
[man 1 speaking]
Yes, yes!
[man 2 shouting]
Hey, that's how you purge!
[laughing loudly]
[Murder Nova] So the first time we saw Jeff Lutz on the streets,
he came to the 405 with a whole bunch of buddies of his that do Drag Week.
Jeff Lutz is not only a master fabricator,
but he was king of Drag Week.
He was the fastest.
He raced Daddy Dave for the first time ever on Street Outlaws.
And he lost.
[Jeff] Nice pass, brother.
-Thank you. -[Jeff] That thing leads hard, bro.
[Murder Nova] And from then on, he wanted to do whatever he had to do
to be a fast street racer.
Started hanging out with us, and in turn,
we helped him figure out the street stuff.
I wanna run up this list.
These guys are the baddest in the country.
That's who I wanna race.
[Murder Nova] He's brought out multiple cars.
And most recently, he's brought out the small tire Street 57.
[banging]
[Murder Nova] And he's been doing whatever it takes to get down on the streets.
[all applauding]
[banging]
[bleep]!
That was a good race.
Hey.
-That was a good pass right there. -[man] That was a...
-Yeah. -[Murder Nova] Damn.
All right, what do we got down there?
[referee on radio] Right lane, by a broomstick.
Right lane!
Two more.
Two more, and we'll stop the bleeding.
You know what?
[all applauding]
You big boy!
You're a [bleep] good lick right there.
Wow, pretty good. Pretty good.
[man] [bleep]!
[Ryan] Nice, man. Thanks guys.
Hey, you know what?
I think we finally got this car figured out.
-[man] Felt good? -Yeah, it felt good.
[man] Ah, it looked good.
[Ryan] We've made some really good consecutive passes.
That was by far our best pass that we've made yet on this road.
We both left clean off the light,
but I pulled ahead of him early, and it stayed that way.
After hammering it out, race after race,
our tuning for this road is exactly what it took to win.
You win a 33,
-and a 60, uh... -[bleep]!
-Damn! -Come here, bro. Good job!
162 to the 64.
-Damn! -Damn, we finally picked up!
Hey, is that 'cause we slowed it down early?
There we go.
-Ooh, you gotta go slow to go faster. -You need the wheel spin.
Yeah, sometimes you gotta go slow in order to go fast.
I don't know if we're gonna come back to this road or not.
But I have some really good asphalt tune-ups
now that I'm really happy about.
We're 13-0, we got Jeff and Damon left,
lots of pressure on those guys.
But they both have fast cars.
I think we have a fantastic chance of going 15-0.
-[man 1] You're good. -Good job, boys.
-[man 1] Hell, yeah. -Good job.
-[man 2] Yeah! -Got a good pass.
-Hey, that's a great number for this road, like... -[man 2] ...really good.
-[man 3] That's all right. -Yeah, good job.
After Ryan's win, that puts us up 13 to nothing,
and the sweep is still alive.
What lane do you want?
[Damon] Right lane.
-Right lane! -[all chuckling]
[Murder Nova] So up next is Damon.
Uh, Damon's still kind of the new guy.
The first couple of seasons, he's... he's kind of been
mid to bottom of the pack,
and now that he's brought this new car out,
uh, it kind of seems like he might be a top contender out here.
And he's becoming a good addition to the 405 group.
-Yeah. -[Damon] I mean, they...
...came into this deal talking a lot of [bleep],
but you know what?
Usually when they start talking a lot of [bleep]
is when they're scared to race something.
-They got quiet, quick. -[Damon] I mean...
We've never even had this car on the track.
It's brand new.
We'll give 'em something to fear right here.
Uh, we're bringing the new car out last week,
and they're already barking about it being a...
...a X275 car, or a track car and all that.
And, uh, Steve comes into the driver's meeting
already talking [bleep] about it.
But, uh, he's gonna get what he wants for sure.
[woman speaking]
[Murder Nova] We're gonna get burnout.
[Dominator] It's a lot better than last time, huh?
Hey, the [bleep] is gonna be fast.
[Murder Nova] That'll be good.
[Steve] Our next race is gonna be with Damon,
the X275 car.
From the beginning, that's what we wanted.
We're really looking for our first win, here.
Like, my whole team might, like...
...jump to the moon, or something.
[banging]
[Damon] Whoo!
Yeah, baby!
That's how it's done right there.
-[Murder Nova] What's the call down there? -[man] I owe you $100.
[referee on walkie talkie] Left lane by a bumper.
Left lane!
Yo, let me get that money, that $100! By a bumper, son!
[man] [bleep] yeah! [bleep]!
Come on, son!
[Damon speaking]
Whoo! That baby spun.
[groaning]
Right, thank you.
-I felt like I spun a little bit on the line, did it? -It did.
-Yeah. -[man 1] A little bit.
-She's a little hot. -[man 2] Get a little gooey?
[Damon] Yeah.
[Jeff] Mark, do you got a lane preference?
Or do you wanna flip?
-[Mark] Let's flip. -Okay.
-Farm, we'll let him call. I know he drove the furthest. -[Farmtruck] Yeah.
-You ready? -In the air?
Yup, I'm ready, yup. Heads.
[coin clinking]
[Farmtruck] Tails.
Oh, where's... Jeffrey!
I got a lane choice! Which one you want?
[Jeffrey] Right one.
[Jeff] Right lane. I've been down the left.
-You're going down the right? -[Jeff] Be safe. Yup.
-[Mark] All right, then. -All right, be safe.
[Mark] Yup.
I'm the last racer tonight, and it happens to be with my engine builder.
He wanted me when he got here.
We're up 14 to nothing.
I don't wanna be the guy to not clean sweep this deal,
but I'm racing the fastest car they got.
[man] Lutz, you're good.
[car starting]
[Jeff] I'm not the fastest here,
but he's gonna have his hands full.
[Mark] I've known Jeff a long time.
I think his car's evenly matched.
Jeff's awesome on a light, especially the flashlights.
I think I fixed my issue, and I think I'm gonna have him.
Believe me, I don't wanna leave with a goose egg.
[Murder Nova] Right now, even though we're 14-0,
everybody couldn't be more excited about the last matchup.
It's Jeff Lutz versus his engine builder.
Mark's built Jeff's engines for as long as I know,
and Jeff does not wanna lose this race to his engine builder,
and his engine builder doesn't wanna lose this race to Jeff!
He could be a champion right now and get that first win for his team.
Jeff has an opportunity to bring this home for us,
to seal the deal, to get the clean sweep...
...and his engine builder has a chance to ruin it for him.
Oh!
-Whoa! -[Murder Nova] He could have! He could have!
[man] That was a good race.
That 55 looked good.
[Murder Nova] All right, what's the call down there?
[referee on walkie-talkie] Right lane, by the bumper.
[Murder Nova] Right lane!
[AZN] Oh, [bleep]!
Oh, [bleep]!
Oh, [bleep]! Sorry guys, gotta go.
Gotta make room for the next guy.
-[man] You know what I mean? -[man 2] You're one for that one.
[Jeff] I think I jumped.
Right... there.
Oh, let me see.
-Here you [bleep] go. -[man] No, you don't.
Okay, they're looking at it.
[man 2] Hey, that's their job though.
-We got it. -That's not... that's not your job, though.
[Murder Nova] Left lane! Right lane jumped!
[man] [bleep]!
-Here's yours back. -[man] Why?
He jumped.
[man] He jumped? Where's my $100?
-[all chuckling] -Told you!
[man] Come on, brother!
[Mark] That was [bleep] awesome!
[Murder Nova] He jumped as soon as he... I [bleep] turned the light on.
Hey, it was a... It was a clear show.
[all applauding]
Dom, you tell him.
[Jeff] Did I jump?
[Dom] [bleep], he knew.
-[all laughing] -[Dom] He knew!
[man] He jumped! You win.
-[Mark] No way! -[man] Yes.
I remember being on the light, and I'm like,
"How the... How the hell did he get out in front of me?
How did he do that?"
[banging]
[Mark] I was actually running him down,
I was catching him, catching him at the light.
If he hadn't have jumped, I think I would've had it.
You're not going home with a goose egg,
but you don't wanna win like that on the jump.
But hey, racing is racing. That's how it goes.
[Jeff] Damn it!
[Murder Nova] One frame, one frame.
-[Jeff] I'm sorry, man. -Hey, it happens to everyone.
-[Jeff] Yes. -Nice... Nice one.
-[Jeff] Thank you, man. -That was a hell of a race, dude.
[Jeff] That was a good race.
I knew it as soon as I let it go.
I'm like, "[bleep]!"
I... I wasn't sure my engine would be able to keep working for me too,
-by the end of that. -[Jeff] That's right.
-Thank you for that. -Yeah.
I'll tell you what, though? That was a [bleep] hell of a race.
-Yeah. -That was a badass race.
Hey, I'll tell you right now.
I let the button go, I never seen it.
Yeah, but we got the W, so...
[Jeff] That's right. Hey, we still [bleep] got your money.
The mother engine.
Let's get everybody up here.
Here comes Mark.
-[Mark] Hey, Lutz. -[Jeff] That was [bleep] awesome.
-Good job. -[Jeff] Hey, you too, man.
[Mark] Good job.
Hey, if we'd have raced y'all...
-[man] Yeah. -...when we first started this?
-[man] A few weeks ago... -It would've been different.
We've been testing a lot, we've been helping each other,
we've came a long ways in a short amount of time.
But we're gonna need that money, uh...
Yeah, but we gonna need that dough.
We gonna need that dough.
-Thanks, guys. -Thanks, guys.
-Appreciate it. -We're getting the money, right?
-Thanks, Jeff. -Hell, yeah.
We appreciate it, man.
[Murder Nova] So this is definitely the strongest showing for the 405.
This is our biggest win, uh, and after coming off a loss
to Big Marc's team, uh, almost loss to Jrod's team,
we needed this.
This was something that we needed as a group
to prove that we're headed in the right direction
to do what it is that we set out to do.
And that's to prove that we're some of the fastest guys out there
on the 28 x 10.5.
Next week, Manny,
from HPP?
I just know they're gonna bring some high horsepower stuff.
So you got anywhere from Corvettes to trucks.
I think we got a really good chance
with the cars we got out here.
$1,000 each driver.
-Whichever team wins... -$15,000 team...
[Manny] 15 grand [bleep].
That was not close.
It's my job to shove this straight up his [bleep].
[man] Go! Go Joe! Oh, [bleep]!
Looks like any other day on the street, you know?
[Murder Nova] Man, that was a race.
Anybody wanna double up on them bets?
[driver] Let's [bleep] go!
-Whoo! -[laughing]
That was a jump!
[banging]
That was a jump!
[bleep], man!
-Hey, stop [bleep], bro. -[man] Hey, you gotta...
Don't yell in my face. [bleep] that.
They got... their heavy hitters coming up.
This team is one of the baddest teams on the planet.
That [bleep]'s fast!
I think I got this one in the bag.
