[Murder Nova] Street racing is dangerous. Don't be idiots like us.
We've got a lot of people and a lot of all-wheel drives.
-[man] What? You're scared? -Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.
So last week, we lined up against a well-known team from Texas, HPP.
[bleep] heavy-hitters coming up.
And although they brought all those fast, all-wheel drive trucks...
-It ain't all about the money for us. -[man] 4,500.
You guys were the better men tonight.
[Murder Nova] ...we managed to get by them.
[man] Oh, [bleep]! We're in trouble now.
With Street Wars coming up next week, we still got one team
we need to get by before we make that happen.
Wow. You all been taking notes.
This week, we're taking on a street crew from Tulsa, Oklahoma...
We get up there, we're 100% serious. 100%.
This no race for tun thing is out the window.
You put the bottles in, you are serious. Heart attack.
...led by veteran racer, Rusty Beaver.
-Shawn, you're number 14. -[Ryan] He's literally setting this whole deal up.
[Jeff] We need to finish off strong.
With Street War next week, we've got our work cut out for us.
I feel like we're gonna be making some big changes.
'Cause one bad race night this late in the season...
-[bleep] -The 405 are not doing so great.
Your seat broke. Oh, my God.
[man] What the [bleep] is going on right now?
[Murder Nova] ...can kill the confidence that we have going into Street Wars.
[man] Go! Go!
-Yeah, it's dump, isn't it? [bleep] -The belt's off of it.
-Really? -Nitrous didn't work.
-[man] Huh? -Nitrous didn't work.
Oh, [bleep].
[Murder Nova] So we got to stay together and prove one last time
that the 405 is as strong as ever even on small tires.
[Farmtruck] Damn. That was another close one.
[Jeff] Dude, Manny's group last week with the trucks.
-[man] Yeah, yeah. -[Jeff] I tell you what?
-[man] All-wheel drive. -[Jeff] All-wheel drive, pickup truck
-that go that [bleep] damn fast. -Yeah.
It was pretty intense. I...
I really thought we were gonna go to blows here.
-You never know. -[Jeff] Yeah, tensions were high.
Money was on the line. Their [bleep] was fast.
Race night with Manny's group from Texas, unbelievable.
Let's not try to go any faster. Let's make him beat us.
I'm a guy trying to seal up our team win right here.
[Jeff] Thank God we got Chuck.
He's our ace in the hole because on that last race,
he won all the money and he beat an all-wheel drive truck.
[man] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Chuck] 405 to the front [bleep].
[man] Nice job, baby.
[Jeff] Everybody always says Ryan carries us on his back,
but Chuck carried us on his back.
But we need to get this thing ready.
Rusty Beaver and his crew, it's the 918. They're from Tulsa.
-And we go way back. -Okay.
You know what? The 918 rivalry goes back 20 years or more.
And I've been around for some of them, it gets intense.
[man] Tulsa is coming tomorrow, be ready.
So, I mean, what are y'all gonna proclaim yourself
as if we come down here and do paddle you all's asses?
None of you [bleep] race me.
-[bleep] -I ain't no [bleep].
-You heard me [bleep]. -Crawl back in there, crawdad.
Why don't you line up next to me then, on the track?
Put 270 on that piece of [bleep].
Put some white paint all over that [bleep] and bring it up and run.
Yeah, just so I can bust your [bleep] hot dog-looking ass.
There's usually a lot of shouting, there's some fists flying,
and the racing is usually pretty good.
[engine revving]
[crowd cheering]
[Jeff] I heard they're just bringing nothing but badass streetcars,
not race cars with the [bleep] cut out of it
to make it look like our streetcar version.
-Yeah. -But these cars are real streetcars that they race.
-I heard right now they got 15 mile an hour on just us. -Wow.
I think we're gonna have our work cut out for us.
Well, I'd like to go get some thinner fluid
because at 30 weight, we put in, JC
said that that's just way too... too thick.
-So he said... -Okay.
...that'll loosen it up to hundred. All right, well let's...
let's go get some tranny fluid and we'll get this thing ripping.
[man] Okay.
[man] Figured out yet?
Well, yes.
And I wish I could say it was not self-inflicted,
but it was [bleep].
In my ever quest of going faster,
I just overlooked some basics,
and I was just so confident and so pumped about just changing the pulley
and just, you know, getting some more boost
and can't wait to get out there that I didn't go test
and it got my ass kicked.
Last race night sucked. Let me rephrase that.
It sucked for me. It was good for us.
We had a great night against Manny and the HPP team.
I broke another blower belt at the one-two shift
and lost to a car I shouldn't have lost to.
[engine revving]
[Doc] Very, very heartbreaking for me.
One, because I hate to lose.
Two, because I would have been, should have been
the win that give us the eight overall total and the money.
I made the mistake that I assumed
and it just made an ass out of me.
I'm pretty embarrassed that that's what the problem was,
pretty embarrassed that I didn't go test. So...
I wouldn't be, I wouldn't beat yourself up too bad.
I mean, we're still learning the ProCharger.
We ain't got but a dozen passes at the most.
[Doc] When it's yours... when it's your fault, you do beat yourself up.
-[man] I do understand that. -[Doc] And it still can use more boost.
So if you'll look, the idler pulley is one groove off
from the actual blower pulley.
And they're so close together they're [bleep] fighting each other.
So now I'm gonna take the blower off.
I'm gonna take that pulley off and I'm not gonna throw it away,
but I'm probably never gonna put it back on
because me and that pulley don't get along.
Take it back off and put the little bitty pulley on it,
which is the max that I can turn the blower.
Then if it's still not enough, then I just don't have enough.
[man] Right.
[Doc] Blower cars do not run without anything blowing.
And when that belt broke, there's nothing blowing.
That particular problem will never happen again.
Who we got coming in this week?
For the longest time, all I ever heard was Rusty Beaver's coming.
Rusty Beaver's coming. I thought people were playing a joke.
It's not. It's actually the group from Tulsa.
They're blue collar guys. They're bringing a couple of cars.
I know nothing about Rusty Beaver or Rusty Beaver's team,
other than they're bringing some mouthy people that have
said a lot of bad things about us, the 405 group, on the internet.
So I just know that his group are hopefully, gonna eat a lot of crow.
Hopefully, the Rusty Beaver gets caged
and we get out of this with another win.
I don't know what kind of cars they're bringing. To me, it doesn't matter.
Import, American, Mustang or not, it doesn't matter.
I got a race who I'm matched up with and...
and do the best I can and get a win for... for the team.
That'll show us that we're, you know, that we're improving,
we're getting better, and Cash Days is around the corner.
-Yeah, man. -[Doc] That's all that matters.
That's the way it works.
About all we can ask for, get better each week
and hope it all comes together for Cash Days.
[Jeff] It's AZN's birthday today, too, by the way.
-Happy birthday, AZN. -All right. Well, thank you, guys.
Let's get it out of the way. Let's just get it out of the way, so I don't hear again.
-How old are you? 16? -Yeah, here we go. 16.
[Murder Nova] 16? 17? He looks like he's 20.
I need you to buy me cigarettes.
[all laughing]
[Murder Nova] So, this is race night number eight.
And, honestly, man, through... through seven races, man, we've done pretty damn well.
-Mm-hmm. -[Jeff] Not bad. Not bad.
If we can pull tonight's went off, we'll be seven and one.
These cars have come so far, so fast.
And a lot of it has been our...
our ability to get the right match ups in the drivers' meeting.
I think that the right match-ups has...
has helped us way more than what we realize.
-That's the whole game. -[man] Yes.
I also believe that we've never been a tighter group than what we are right now.
[man] 100%. 100%.
And that, that can't hurt us anywhere.
So coming into this season, nobody really knew what we were gonna do.
We've been on small tires before, but it's been a long time.
I couldn't be more proud of this team and how we've came together.
Not only did we prove to ourselves, but we've proved to everybody
that small tire is something that the 405 can do.
We have to win this last race for the confidence of going into Street Wars.
And now we're taking on rivals from way back when
from the 918 Tulsa's group led by Rusty Beaver.
One last thing, I don't... I know I don't have to explain to all of you guys.
It was more intense against the 918 guys
than it ever was with the Texas people.
Before we started traveling out of state,
there was never a bigger rivalry than what the 918 was.
Rusty Beaver's kind of been around for a long time.
We've raced with him before, but he put together his own crew
and a lot of these guys from the 918, we haven't raced with before.
So coming into this, we're not 100% sure what we're going up against.
But if they're anything like Rusty Beaver,
then we're gonna have our hands full.
Unlike some of the other weeks,
we don't know a lot of these cars.
We don't know a lot of these guys.
So being strategic on the match-ups that we do, can make or break us here.
When we get up there, we're 100% serious. 100%.
I'm Rusty Beaver.
The team is guys that I've raced with over the years.
Coming to put a spanking on whoever I race.
This no race for fun thing is out the window.
We're serious.
And we leave this thing right here, make it to the right side,
and you put your bottles in, you are serious.
Heart attack. Just like we do on the street.
We got some superfast cars they're gonna find out.
So I think our team, I'm not gonna be cocky
and say that we can win them all,
but I think we're gonna win the majority of 'em.
This group of guys right here, in my opinion, you are a outstanding crew.
So all we got to do is do our job and perform.
And we got this, man. We got...
I got this good, little feeling in my bones.
[Murder Nova] Reaper? It's totally fine with you getting this deal started.
[Reaper] Who are we racing?
Rusty Beavers... Actually, Rusty and I grew up together.
So I asked Rusty, I said, "Hey," I said, "You want
to gather some guys up and come do this deal?"
And he said, "I'm in." So this is the group of guys he brought.
[Murder Nova] We appreciate you guys bringing these cars.
Once we get out to the race spot,
you guys are more than welcome to walk around, look at all of our cars,
because we're gonna definitely look at y'all's.
[Ryan speaking]
[man speaking]
[Ryan speaking]
[Murder Nova] So this week, we're heading back to Elk City.
We've raced there a few times this season.
There is some rubber down.
It's nothing crazy, but it's gonna hook a little bit more
every time we go there.
So honestly, with us being at this road a couple of times this season,
we probably have a little bit of advantage over them
but I've not seen their cars race before,
it's kind of a toss-up, so it's gonna come down to the matchups
that we pick and what we think about looking at their cars.
I honestly don't care what I race.
It... This group, I... I'd race... I'd race any of them.
Nah. I don't wanna go first.
[man] All right, let's start looking at their cars.
[Murder Nova] They brought some amazing looking cars.
These look like true street-driven street race cars.
It's kind of refreshing to see cars that sit like ours.
Every once in a while, we're all racers,
and we're gonna try to sneak in a car
that doesn't really fit the rules.
But at first glance, it looks like all of their cars
are on the up and up.
And this is a crew that I'm excited to get going.
Man, dude, this thing is cool.
-What year is it? -[man speaking]
[Murder Nova] Okay.
I feel like you know who you're going to race, though, right?
-Probably gonna race, Dom? -[man] No.
[Murder Nova] I've loved to flag that race.
I heard that go by. I was like, "Man, it sounds pretty good."
-You like that old one, don't you? -[man] I like that.
[Ryan] Yeah. I like it.
Man, this one got all the nitrous.
[man] Air conditioned cooled seats...
-Cool. -[man] ...with navigation.
[Murder Nova] Now, hey, that's...
-that's on my list for next year. -Cooled seats.
That's a frickin' street car.
[Murder Nova] Oh, yeah. No, they are.
Oh, [bleep]. I'm scared of this thing.
What motor is that? Is that a Coyote?
-[man] Yeah, Coyote. -[Farmtruck] No, [bleep].
-[man] Yes, sir. -[Farmtruck] Wow.
-[man] Yep. -[Murder Nova] So this is the one that wants to race who?
-[man] Ah. Is it... -[Murder Nova] Chuck?
-[man] Oh. Oh, does he? -I think this is the car...
-[man] Oh, that's a good one. -[Murder Nova] They said that this was their fastest car.
-And that they wanted Chuck... -Why would they say that?
-[Murder Nova] Mm-hmm. -I mean, it looks like it is.
Chuck? Chuck?
-[Chuck] What? -So I had already heard
that this is their fastest car and he wanted you.
-[Chuck] Okay. -Yeah.
We know... we know you're not scared of anybody.
-I was just telling you. -Okay. No, I'm good with it.
[Farmtruck] Did you look underneath the back of this thing?
It's got that independent rear end in it.
[AZN] Every single one of these cars has a lot of.
The driver has a lot of seat time.
A ton of seat time in each of these cars.
-You know what that equals? -[man] Ass-whooping.
[AZN] Yeah, that's right.
So this Camaro has independent rear suspension
and it's pretty controversial to whether or not it works well on the street.
A lot of times if they're set up right, these cars will hook.
All right, guys. What do y'all think?
[man] Like, I like the group.
Well, the... the group definitely brought cars that we asked them to bring.
Yeah.
I mean, they got a couple of cars that's gonna make good power.
[AZN] A single, single, single turbo Fox.
There's a single turbo Fox in there.
[Doc] I got the drag radials on.
My belt didn't show up yesterday so I could go testing,
so I have not made a pass or nothing.
I would like to go seven or later.
Okay. The JP car is gonna be fast.
-[man] Blue Camaro. -JP car.
[AZN] Maybe Dom... the wagon.
I'll run... I'll run whatever you guys want me to run.
[Ryan] Let's see what they want.
I like the blue Camaro Chuck has.
I don't feel like we have a problem accommodating anything that they want.
Let's just trade it for spot. Let's pick the...
[Murder Nova] Maybe that's the smart thing that we do tonight.
-We go... -Let them pick the race?
-Okay, we'll take that race, gut we want him first." -[man] Yeah.
And I think if they're cool with it, y'all two go first and then put him.
[man] Yep, I'm good with it. Let's get 'em over here.
-[man] Guys get a good look at our cars? -Yeah, we did.
Tell you what we do. I have my list that I think we're gonna win from.
Wow. You all have been, you all have been taking notes.
We're pretty unorganized over here, so let's hear it, man.
-What do y'all think? -Tucker, where you at?
Step up, brother. Step up.
This is my good-looking guy, Tucker here.
Hey, he would love to race you.
He's got a 2010... '15 Camaro.
[Murder Nova] Hey, we'll give you all that race.
[Rusty] Yeah, he will take it.
[indistinct chatter]
Farmtruck, we want to go second. Mr. Logan here.
[Murder Nova] Oh, what's he got?
-[Rusty] He's got a red Mustang. -[Logan] Yeah, red Mustang.
He has a state car with the granny trimming.
I had hopes for racing that cool ass Ford truck,
but I'll run you.
-Second? -Yeah, second down.
-Second down? -100 bucks.
-100 bucks. Deal. -Yeah. All right.
[man] Who's got the grumpy Camaro?
-James, is that you? -Your car, the white Camaro?
-That's a good race. -No, hold on sec.
Hold on a second. Kamikaze is racing best looking girl out here.
You're not gonna get everything you want, bro.
Yeah, give us... give us one.
[Murder Nova] So Rusty Beaver steps up
and he has his [bleep] together.
He pulls out a list and he starts saying,
"These are the races that we want."
This has never happened before.
As he goes through his list, so far, so good.
But we're not just gonna lay down,
if any of these choices
that he wants we're not good with,
we'll push back a little bit.
You guys just got two races that y'all wanted, yeah?
-[Rusty] Yes. -Okay.
Yeah. What do you want? Take whatever you want.
Ah, keep going [bleep]. I like the Ford pickup.
Ford truck.
[man] All-wheel drive jeep?
[AZN] Yes, sir. So you leave after I leave?
-No, sir. It's an even matchup. -Hey, what about this?
We take off the same time, give him back tire.
-I'll do it. -[man] Back tire?
-[AZN] You back tire? -[man] Back tire.
-[AZN] Yep. You guys happy? -[man] Happy, happy.
Okay, my boy right here, Matt, would love to take on Lutz.
Where's Jeff at?
-[Jeff] I'm right here. What do you got? -A red Fox.
[Jeff] I'm done racing Fox bodies.
[Murder Nova] I'm not racing a Fox.
[Jeff] That thing is 2,000 pounds lighter than my car.
Give me something heavy.
55 would be cool for Lutz.
-We'll take that race. -Which one?
-[Rusty] 55 and the 57? -I'm good with it.
But let me ask you this, on a gentleman's deal,
would you give something to the old man?
I'll give him the back tire.
I would just rather have the hit.
That's fine. I'll leave when you leave.
-Let's lock it in. -So you got the hit?
-It's the hit. -I'll take a 100 on that.
[laughter]
Hey, he's smooth as [bleep].
You gave him the hit and locked in for 100 bucks.
So you can definitely tell
how much of a veteran racer Rusty Beaver is.
And that's why we can't just hands down
give them everything that they want.
He's a smooth talker and he's gonna smooth talk Lutz into $100 bet
that wasn't talked about, but he slid it right in there.
This guy's smooth.
So we definitely got to pay attention to him
and all the races that he's wanted.
[Rusty] Dave, would you race the Mustang?
I would. Yeah, I would.
-[man] You'll race Mustang-Mustang? -Let's do it.
Lock it in, Dave!
[Matt] I want... I want a 100 on that one, too.
-300? 300? -[Matt] 100...
300? 200?
-Okay. -I want the white Camaro.
-That should be a close match-up. -Yeah, that's a good one.
-You like that? -Okay. I'll take a $100.
-No. -[AZN] I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet a 100.
Hey, I will. I will.
I'm telling that guy no all weekend.
[Rusty] I think you ought to race Monza.
I think that's a good race.
-There we go. -There we go.
Lock it up.
[Murder Nova] All right. Where does Chuck fit in?
Against y'all's blue car.
Jim... Jim, where you at, Jim?
Hey, whatever... whatever Rusty Beaver says.
Yeah.
[Rusty] Where's my notes. Jim.
How you doing? How you doing?
-[Murder Nova] Is that the Jim? -[Reaper] Hey, Rusty.
You tell me who am I racing in the Nova?
Hey, is this... I'm racing Charlie in the Nova?
-We're all just gonna go-- -[Reaper] Okay.
[Reaper] So Cornelsen and I are racing trucks,
but what number are we racing?
Where are you putting us in on that, on that?
-Number ten. -Number ten?
Where are you at, though?
Hey, would you like to race the red Camaro?
-Where are you at Dave? -[David] Right here. Right here.
[Doc] How much do you wanna bet?
Huh?
-How much? Deal. -300?
Okay. Ryan, me and him is number 12.
[Ryan] Okay. Deal.
-[Rusty] 500? -Sure.
-Let me just... -Okay.
[Rusty] So we're left with Copeland.
-Copeland. -It's Kevin and Damon.
[Ryan] He's literally setting this whole deal up.
[Murder Nova] Yes. He's got it all.
Yeah. I mean, I feel like he just needs to turn that and say "Let's go race."
[Murder Nova] I know and then just let us know when it's my turn.
-Yeah, let me know. -Shawn, your number 14. Zack Wiedel.
[indistinct chatter]
[Rusty] What are you going, Zack? How much are you going?
-I can go 500. -500? Absolutely.
Okay. 15 and 16.
JP, y'all two pick who y'all want to race.
[Ryan] So you and I are 16, is that correct?
[Jim] 16. Yeah. Okay. I'm good with that.
My boy back here really wants to race somebody else.
Four-door Nova against Lutz.
-[man] Yeah. -Okay.
I like it.
[man] I think that's a good...
Fine. What pair are we?
[Rusty] 16.
So how about Chuck and the race master go last?
-[Rusty] Okay, I like the last. -[man] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
[man] Oh, yeah. We're good?
-Good job, man. -[man] Good job.
I feel like y'all got every race you wanted.
One more thing, guys.
We, uh, we figured, since, you know,
it's a once in a lifetime and we all took a donation,
so we would like to race
and say that we're gonna beat y'all.
We got 1,400. 1,400.
Team boss is 1,400.
-Pot is 1,400. -We can cover 1,400.
-Yes. -I'm in on that.
Yeah. And flip our lanes all night, right?
-[Rusty] Flip the lanes, yeah. -What about we have...
Look, we haven't done this yet,
it's gonna be good if we do it.
Somebody pick a lane.
Let's stay in our own lane all night.
What about we have...
Look, we haven't done this yet.
It's gonna be good if we do it.
Somebody pick a lane.
Let's stay in our own lane all night.
-We gave you all every race you wanted. -[man] Every race.
-You all know this, Ryan, this road. -Yes. We'll give you the lane.
-Give you the lane? What do you... -You pick the lane.
[Murder Nova] You pick whichever lane y'all want,
you have to stay on it all night.
I'm gonna walk it, man. I can't...
-All right, I'm walkin' it. -Go pick what lane we want.
All right. So we're gonna do that.
We're gonna stay in our own lanes all night.
Tonight, I have suggested that we might take the option to stay in our own lane.
And what that means is 405 has their own lane,
and Rusty Beaver's team has his own lane.
There's good and bad, but I can tell you this, we haven't done it yet,
and it's something that I would like
to try at least one time this season.
[Jim] Let's check these lanes if they're good.
That one slopes too much. This one's got better rubber.
-If we're gonna pick one... -[man] This one's a lot more flat.
[Jim] Let's let Rusty make the call. I'm gonna go tell him.
I bet it's deceptive. You know what I mean? This feels stickier out here.
So, Ryan suggests we determine whichever lane we get,
we stick in that lane all night.
With Dominator, Farmtruck and AZN being our first three races,
I think that this is as good night as any to try this.
[man] Yeah, right lane.
-We'll take the right lane. -Okay.
-Right lane, guys. We're in the right lane.
-So our lane is which? -[Ryan] We... we have the left lane.
-We're in the left. -[Ryan] 918 took the right. 918 took the right.
-[man] Whatever. -[Murder Nova] Okay.
Let's race! And bets everybody, 500 bucks.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, 405 team, we got to get a couple of guys up here all night to stand here
-and make sure we don't [bleep] lane up. -[Ryan] Yeah.
Like, we need some smart guys standing here, going, "Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't pour that much [bleep] down,
don't do that hot of a burn out."
-You know all [bleep]. -[man] What lane we gonna be?
-We're in this lane all night. -Hey, let's get this thing [bleep] sticky all night.
So with it being the last race of the season, I like this.
And there's lots of reasons that this is a good thing.
And there's... there's lots of reasons it's a bad thing.
You've got the opportunity to keep your lane tight all night long.
We're a really good team and we stick together
on what we use as far as Pimp Juice,
when we need to swap over to water.
But if our lane turns to junk,
we've got nobody to blame but ourselves.
We can have a few guys policing our lane all night,
making sure we don't pour down too much juice,
make sure we don't do too big a burnout.
Basically, we haven't got any team that we've raced all season to agree to this.
We're going to see how it goes after that.
-[Murder Nova] We're in the left lane. -[man] Okay.
So we are racing Rusty Beaver's group tonight.
We manage for the first time all season long
to agree to we are in this lane only all night long.
We're the first pair down, which is, for me now,
I'm comfortable with this-car-works-good first pair down.
We're in the left lane, so all I got to do is not blow it up
and screw it up for everybody else behind us.
However, we set the tone for...
We start with a win, gets everybody hyped up.
We're all motivated and working as a team.
So we're gonna kick his butt.
We're gonna start this off on the right track and hopefully we all win.
[man] Oh, just remember, get your wheel speed up on the burnout.
Get it up there and get it from where
you're gonna burnout to where you're gonna leave.
It's pretty limited. So...
Yeah. Just put her back into a good spot.
[Tucker] My name's Tucker Frame.
I got a 2006 Camaro SS, still 6.2.
Got the old little bit of nitrous to it.
I've got Dominator. I feel like it'd be a good race.
I think we're just gonna try to get down there.
[engine revving]
[man] Hey. Hey. I know he's already good [bleep].
-Hey, we just need to not do big burnouts. -[AZN] Yeah.
[man] Yeah, sure. He stopped his burnout back there
and peeled it right here already.
[Jeff] Make sure we... We should have a team meeting over that.
Yeah, that's... Man!
[engine revving]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Left lane!
[bleep] By a bumper.
So, truthfully, this thing doesn't have
a lot out the back, but it will 60 foot.
I made a full pass with the bottle on this time.
Didn't pop and bang, so I'll take that as a plus.
It felt good.
Me, Farmtruck or AZN, we want to be the first three down
because they just work early, right?
And we're putting rubber down for those that need more than what is first round.
So we got the win against Tucker.
Hopefully, that sets the motivation for the entire team
to kick butt in this lane all night long.
[Farmtruck] Ha, ha! Ha, ha.
You made a statement, you know.
[AZN] Oh, yeah. Man, you didn't need nothing.
I like being first, but I hate being first.
All at the same time, you know what I mean?
Bro, everybody had so much confidence in you.
-You leave the confidence to us. -[AZN] Yes.
-Okay. You do what you're told. -[AZN] Yeah.
And we know where you belong. No one's gonna screw anybody out here.
Hey, did you squeeze on him or could you see him back there?
Uh, no. I just made a hit with...
I sprayed it the whole way through.
-Just... -[Farmtruck] Yeah.
I need to know.
[laughter]
[Farmtruck] It works.
-[AZN] I'd do the same, dude. -[Farmtruck] Thanks, fellas.
-Well, getting your bottle on, you know. -Bottle's on.
I don't underestimate any of these cars.
This Mustang, it's a stick car,
so he says. For the first time,
we've negotiated where we stay in the left lane all night.
They stay in the right lane all night.
You can screw up a lane by doing too hot of a burnout
and getting too much rubber down.
I think we'll have the advantage being in the same lane all night long,
unless there's an oil down
or someone spills something in that lane, then we're screwed.
Hey, Keith, can we go ahead and pull up and just get in the lane?
Okay.
I'm Logan Brown. It's a 2014 Mustang.
It's a twin turbo stick shift car.
You know, I like to bang gears, have fun with that.
I'm racing Farmtruck tonight. Um, all-wheel drive. Gets out of the hole quick.
I think that if I can get on the two set long enough, I think I got him.
[engine revving]
[man] You're good. You're good.
[man] Okay? Good?
[engine revving]
[man] That's a stick car?
[AZN] You know, throwing gears is easy when you think you know how to do it.
And then when the cameras turn on...
-[man] It's weird. -[laughs]
-Yeah. Oh, God. -Oh, God.
[indistinct chatter]
[engine revving]
[indistinct chatter]
[engine revving]
Ooh, he might have got him.
-He might have sucked him up. -Wait a minute.
[AZN] He might have sucked him up.
-[Murder Nova] Did that thing die? -I don't know.
I felt like it got out there and it didn't--
It kind of got a weird thing.
Oh, yeah. I feel like it got out there.
-Someone backfired. -Nitrous didn't work?
Someone backfired. I don't know what happened. That was a weird one.
-[man] That's close. -Oh, that might have been right lane.
-That got dirty. -All right, man. What's the call down there?
[man on radio] Right lane by half a car.
[Murder Nova] Right lane, half a car.
[Ryan] [bleep], that sucks.
[AZN] We just put a different blower on it.
-That looked like it laid over down there. -[AZN] Yeah, it did.
I don't know if the nitrous hit weird. I don't know.
It could have been the nitrous was turned off.
[AZN] Yeah. He mad.
He [bleep] damn sure left [bleep].
-[AZN] Yeah. -[man] You all right? Slow it down.
[Farmtruck] Knocked the belt off.
[man] Slow down. Slow down.
You're leaking. It's dumping it.
It's coolant.
[Murder Nova] So after Farmtruck's pass, he was coming in hot,
and as he comes through, AZN starts yelling at him,
that it's leaking coolant everywhere
and he was trying to hurry so that he didn't get anything on the road.
Luckily, he made it back and we didn't get anything on the road.
But this is the type of thing that we talked about that could ruin our lane.
Most of the time a broken belt's a quick fix,
and hopefully, that's the case here
because before Street Wars, Farmtruck needs to get that thing fixed
and running well.
Yeah, it's dumping it. [bleep] damn it.
The belt's off of it. Ugh! All right.
It's a mess. Did it overheat on you?
I didn't even look, dude.
I just wanted to get back here as soon as I possibly could.
-[AZN] Okay. -Right.
Now [bleep], the belt is snapped.
Look at that, it snapped it. Just nothing...
-[AZN] How the hell did that happen? -[Farmtruck] I do not know.
[man] Man, you got off [bleep]. [bleep]
-I got to get away from it. -That's a brand new belt, dude.
-That's a good belt, too. -Yeah.
All right.
Well, if you've ever wanted to know how long
a serpentine belt is on your car...
-Dude. -...they're all there, you know.
-That's long. -Yeah.
It's not dripping, but it leaked.
Maybe it just came out of the puke tank because it got hot
because there was no water pump.
-Wow. -It did.
I mean, I don't know why it's puking, though.
Second race, we were doing great until we weren't.
Anyway, we're not gonna go very far without one of these serpentine belts.
We don't have a water pump and we don't have any boost for our blower.
-[AZN] Where's the overflow? -[Farmtruck] I don't know.
-It's right here. -I guess, right there, but there's no fluid on top.
-[Farmtruck] Right. -Is there any fluid on the bottom?
-[Farmtruck] Not a drop. -Then it's coming...
It might have punched a hole into the radiator.
Why do you always...
whenever you're analyzing problems,
you always think of the worst thing possible.
No. Worse would be the block.
[laughter]
I went to the replaceable part.
[Farmtruck] Okay. All right.
-Yeah, but we still couldn't get that tonight. -Oh, no.
I'd like to say that the belt wrapped around the petcock
-and loosen the drain plugs ever so slightly... -Gently.
...and we can just tighten it, get another belt and race again.
-I like your optimism. -Yeah.
-[AZN] Yeah. -But?
There's a hole in that radiator.
Let me help you get ready for your race.
[AZN] I'm ready. I'm ready.
-Let's go. -Hell, yeah.
Let's go. Let's go.
Hey. Stick car can't what?
-So proud of you. -Good job.
I'm not gonna lie.
Soon as I saw we left, I was, like, scramble.
I knew the road would take it. So, I was like, I'm going.
-I just let her eat. Hey, definitely raise yours. -Yeah.
Definitely raise yours. I could have gone more for sure.
It [bleep] pulled, bro. It's [bleep] pulled.
-[Tucker] Good job, bro. -Thank you. Yes. Let's go, boys. Come on.
[man] You need help with your shoes, sir?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
-It's your birthday. -Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
Tell me what to do. Tell me what to do.
You know, it always seems like the time that I have to race,
the odds are against me.
I think I'm racing a Ford pickup truck.
I'm giving the competition the back tire,
which means we set him out one vehicle.
His back tire will be up against my front,
giving him a one car head start.
But I think he's gonna need it.
My name's Leon Lewis from Perkins, Oklahoma.
I drive a '68 Ford F100.
[engine revving]
[Leon] Racing AZN tonight. His truck's all-wheel drive.
A little heavier than I am, but I got the back tire negotiated.
So we'll see what happens.
[Murder Nova] Hey. So the back tire on the line.
[man] Get it on the line.
[Murder Nova] Hey, get him about this close and I'll roll him in.
[bleep]
[crowd clapping]
Hey, Shawn, did he jump? Shawn, did he jump?
It doesn't look as bad when it's on camera.
It looked way worse than that I tell you, guys.
Oh, yeah. No...
[indistinct chatter]
It's not that bad.
-[Murder Nova] AZN jumped! -[man] Yeah.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[AZN speaking]
Yeah. That's what they're saying.
You know what? I guess I had a lot on my mind.
Uh, you know, I wanted to take the W. It was my own fault.
I left a little bit early.
I guess I was anticipating him to leave a little bit early.
No excuses tonight.
I made a mistake and I jumped. That was on me.
[Murder Nova] With AZN jumping,
that puts us down two to one on three races
that we thought clearly we had the advantage on.
We came into this race so confident and gave them everything that they want
and now we better pull out some wins,
otherwise, it's gonna turn around and bite us in the butt.
-Beat myself up about it. -[man] Right.
-Ah. -[Farmtruck] It was so [bleep].
[Jeff] I'm strapped in, sir. All right.
All right. Love you.
I got Rusty Beaver.
He's the head of the 918 clan over there,
and we're down two to one.
So, man, I got to get this win for our team
so we can tie it up and start rolling the other way,
because there's a big bet on the line.
We need to kick these guys' ass and send them back to Tulsa.
[Rusty] Let's go ahead and open the bottle up.
Tom, go ahead and open that bottle up for me.
I am about to race Mr. Jeff Lutz
in my dad's '55 Chevy Panel Wagon.
Actually got a '69 427 in it and got some nitrous on it. We're gonna give her hell.
He's gonna have all he can handle.
[engine revving]
[Rusty] So we negotiated during this race,
Lutz is gonna give us the hit on it. We're gonna get him.
Hey, this road ain't never been this good
even when we had big tires on it.
-It's filling in. -Yeah, it's filling in.
Hey, several races.
There's only been one burnout on it. The two [bleep].
No, I know. Gangster.
Yeah, it's good.
[engine revving]
[indistinct chatter]
[Murder Nova] So as we're looking at the road, there's a good base down.
There's a lot of rubber laid down.
So there's really no sense in doing a big, fat long burnout.
At this point, with the rubber that's already laid down, it could just turn greasy.
We talked about it and we decided,
it's better right now just to do a short, little burnout
and not take the chance of... of... of ruining our lane and making it greasy.
So Lutz is coming up, he's racing Rusty Beaver
and Rusty came in here, smooth-talked,
got all the races that they wanted
and he got Lutz somehow to give him the hit.
So, Lutz has got to be on point here.
The hit's worth quite a bit and he's gonna have to drive around it.
Hey, so, he gets the hit?
Okay, I'm gonna pull them both in and then I'm walking off.
[engine revving]
What do you guys think? You got it?
-[man] I think that was... -Yeah?
All right, guys, what's the call down there?
-[man on radio] Left lane by a fender. -[people cheering]
[Murder Nova] Left lane by a bumper.
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Good job, man.
[Murder Nova] Nice job, baby. Nice job. Woo!
So I gave Rusty Beaver the hit.
Man, as soon as Shawn pulled him in, he took off, man.
He got out on me and I spun a little bit.
We overpowered the road, but I was able to gather it up and get the win.
Awesome.
[Rusty] And...
Hey, hey, I'm gonna tell you right now,
I'd have had him if I wouldn't have had the one second delay.
I had a one second delay in my nitrous,
and I think I would have got him if I didn't have that in there.
I underestimated the road. It won't happen again.
I needed to go down it one time.
-[Jeff] Hey, you owe me a 100 bucks. -I do, sir.
-Yes, you do. -[Rusty] Yes, sir, I do.
[Jeff] Okay. Thank you. Dude, that thing runs good.
When you took off, I was like, [bleep] damn.
I had a one second delay in the nitrous.
Me and you ought to do it again. I'll put 400 on my old man.
-I got $200. -[Jeff] Ooh.
-I will. -I'll never give you the hit again.
I promise you that.
By what he jumped me on is about what I got him in the finish line.
-It's faster than it looks for a piece of [bleep]. -[Jeff] You're damn right.
When you start it up, I was like, "Oh, [bleep]."
That was a close race. Too close for what I wanted.
But, hey, a win is a win, and now it's two to two.
-[Rusty] That's awesome. -Thank you.
[Jeff] Thank you, buddy.
[Daddy Dave] You ready? Is he in there?
-[Matt] I'm ready. -[laughs]
-Thousand, right? -100!
-What did he say? 100? -A 1,000 if I win.
-2,000? -[laughter]
Going up against the boys from the 918,
right now, we're two and two.
I'm the fifth race. I got Matt in his Fox body.
Single turbo, small tire car.
Looks like he gets down, like, it looks like a legit street race car.
So hopefully, it's a good race and I'm gonna come out on top, of course.
But hopefully, he gives me a good race.
This team was actually the first team that fell
for staying in the same lane all night.
Uh, it's good and bad.
Like, good being, we know what we're doing.
We can make the lane as sticky as we want.
We can do whatever we want to it.
If it starts getting away, we can make it right.
The bad is, it can go bad.
Like one wrong burnout, one hot one, it'll make it all greasy
and be a mushy mess and we're all just gonna spin the tires.
So for the most part, I think we all got our head on. We know what we're doing.
And if it starts going that direction, we know what to do to fix it.
[Matt] My name is Matt Burrows. It's a '90 Mustang GT,
Turbo LS, you know, just your run of the mill stuff.
We just out here putting the work in.
-[Logan] What do you want to bet? -40?
-Huh? -40?
-20? 20? -All right.
-20? -[AZN] Yep.
Okay.
[engine revving]
[man] Oh, [bleep]! We're in trouble now!
[man] Oh, yeah, yeah. This is gonna be a good one.
They're gonna bust Dave's ass out here.
[engine revving]
[man] Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
[crowd cheering]
[man] What the [bleep] is going on right now?
[bleep] ground effects coming off.
[Murder Nova] Right lane. Right Lane. Poor Dave.
He just keeps on getting [bleep] racecars
with his [bleep] no cage [bleep].
[crowd applauding]
[Daddy Dave speaking]
[man speaking]
[Daddy Dave] The guy made a good pass.
Uh, we left kind of side by side.
He started edging out on me in about the time the boost
and the nitrous and everything came in,
it just started spinning the tires and it just...
We kind of just stayed like that and I couldn't...
I couldn't run him back in. So, congrats to him.
I got to go round up some money now and pay everybody.
[engine revving]
[Murder Nova] Nice job.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Murder Nova] I feel like that's their sleeper right there.
[Matt] I let go of that button and never saw him.
I think he stared at the back of the car the whole way.
Yeah. You were trying to chew on my ass
-trying to come around me, wasn't you? -Good job. Good job.
Good job.
[Kamikaze] Here we go again. Race night.
And as of right now, um, the 405 are not doing so great.
Um, we're losing three to two and I'm up.
And, you know, a lot of guys are telling me that
car I'm racing is this and that and everything else.
Well, I'll tell you one thing about me is I never underestimate who I'm racing.
All right, baby girl.
Do something good for me.
Make a good pass here.
So, honestly, I'm gonna try and go out here,
make the best pass I can.
Try to be consistent, make some smart moves.
Put a good tune up in the car.
It's been running pretty good so far,
and I hope I can pull up a win, get us back even-even.
The rest of the 405 guys can take this thing home.
We need that money.
[Russ] My name is Rusty Root.
'68 Camaro.
Racing Kamikaze, I know he's fast.
Big block Chevy, Monte Carlo with a plate.
We may be outgunned, but we're gonna give it a run tonight.
[engine revving]
[bleep] [bleep]
[indistinct shouting]
[engines rumble]
[man] Damn. That was another close one.
-Damn. -[Farmtruck] I don't know.
-[man] Damn. -[Farmtruck] I don't know yet.
-[man] Damn. -No, that is right lane.
[Farmtruck] You think so? All right. What's the call?
[man on the radio] Left lane.
[man] Give me that. Left lane [bleep]!
-[man] Yeah. -[bleep]
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Here you go.
[man] Oh, yeah.
[bleep]
[Kamikaze] Like I said, never underestimate the car you're racing.
That car is not slow.
They act like it was.
And we took off.
I hit the button, car left.
In probably 10 feet out, the damn seat broken,
pulled me down flat in the car.
I got little legs and arms. I hold on the steering for dear life
and I can't reach the pedal all the way.
I was starting to freak out as he's out quite a bit.
So everything I could, got down there and floored the damn car
to the last second, made another car up at the very end in high gear.
I put just a little bit on and finally went around him at the very end.
But I'm telling you, I've never had so much stuff happening.
I'm not a very tall guy. I couldn't see a damn thing the whole run, but almost.
It's crazy. Good time.
Glad I got the win.
-God! -Your seat broke?
-God. -Oh, my God.
[laughs]
It broke. I put my foot off the pedal,
but I still holding the button, and I was like, "Oh."
And I was trying to floor it. I couldn't see [bleep] I was like,
I pulled myself up and I was like, "I'm coming."
-You had the abs to get there? -Oh, yeah.
I got my abs cranked in.
-Yeah. I got a pump. -[laughs]
-That's a good thing. -Man!
You had to the abs to win that race.
What in... what in the hell?
Damn, dude.
Good job, man. Good job.
You took it.
[Brandon speaking]
I think stick with the red [bleep].
It's what we've been using, what this car likes.
So it's 3-3. We got Abbi and her Camaro.
The last time I went up against a black Camaro,
it didn't fare so well.
So that car's probably fast. It's ProCharged.
So we're, damn sure, gonna have our hands full on this one.
We're gonna do the best we can do.
-Good luck. -Be careful. I'll see you up there.
Okay.
Abbi, did they... do you get the Dragy off the dash?
[Abbi] I got it going on right now.
You got it going?
My name is Abbi Sorenson.
I am driving the 2012 Camaro tonight.
It's pretty much all stock motor.
It's got a few engine upgrades.
And it's got a little ProCharger on there.
Well, as soon as you start it up and drive up there,
go ahead and turn that traction control crap off.
-I will. -I just really...
we just really need the car to be clean
since I've been messing with that water mess.
So you need to rev it pretty tight.
You know what I mean? Get it cleaned out.
You're gonna do good, babe.
I'm racing Monza and I don't know much about his car.
But he says his car is pretty heavy
and this one weighs more than two tons.
So it'll be a good race, I think.
[engine rumbles]
As long as it goes down straight, we'll be happy.
[chuckles]
She's looking at the mirror.
[Murder Nova laughs]
I can see her like she's done this before.
[laughs]
That's [bleep] cool, man.
[engines rumble]
[bleep]
[applauding]
[man] Brandon, nice job.
Left lane by a bumper.
[Monza] I think we've got a race car now.
I was really worried about that car.
The last time I went out beside one of them, I got [bleep] kicked out of me.
So I made sure I wasn't late on that light that time.
That [bleep] wasn't gonna happen again.
Good job, Monza.
Hell, yeah.
[man] Made a pretty good pass.
Good job, brother. Good job, guys.
Drove by that light.
You did... You did that.
You did that in the first 60 feet.
I wasn't late on that light either, was I?
[laughter]
Oh.
Dang it. Dang it. Dang it.
I think I was late off the light.
They pulled us up into the light.
We staged good.
I was little late off the light.
He was ahead of me the whole way.
He got me, probably the car, too.
But the car worked. Car went straight.
So the car did good. So I'm happy about that.
And it was a good race.
-[Brandon] Good job. -Thanks.
[Brandon] You should see the picture of the wheelie you got.
-Yeah? -[Brandon] Like, "I'm here."
Hey, I wasn't late light on that light, was I?
-[Brandon] No. -I fixed that.
-I told you. -I know how to fix that.
[grunts]
[bleep] about to run.
It's 4-3.
We weren't tied. Monza just put us up one.
And look, this is the race
that they've been wanting all night.
I feel like I got a pretty healthy car.
That guy, you know, he races a lot.
That car is fast.
If I was him, I wouldn't wanna get beat by a stock motor Coyote.
So I would probably drive that thing in the ditch
if he gets outrun by Chuck.
So it's my job to make sure,
prove it to him that the 405,
whether we're on a daily driver, big tire, small tire,
whatever it is, we are the baddest [bleep] here.
[engine rumbles]
[Jim] Jim Parkison.
It's a 1978 Chevy Camaro Z28,
402 cubic inch LS engine and turbocharged.
I'm racing Chuck.
I got 300 bucks on the race. Little nervous.
Pretty excited to race Chuck.
So really wanna get a good pass and get down on him,
make a good race out of it.
Come on.
[Murder Nova] At this point, both the lanes looked like they're really good.
They're both coming around and they seem really even.
The stuff we've been doing over here
either is not making any difference at all,
or the stuff that they're doing in their lane
is just as good as what we're doing in ours.
But with two of the fastest cars coming up
who are gonna definitely leave harder,
put more power down,
we're gonna see the difference in the lanes.
[Murder Nova] Left lane by a little.
Burnout was good. Did a good burn out.
And felt like it knocked the tires off.
I was feathering the throttle. Chuck had a lot of power.
I wasn't pulling him back in or anything.
He stayed out there probably three cars on me.
I gotta give him $300.
[applauding]
-[Murder Nova] Nice job, baby. -[Jeff] Nice job, Chuck.
Nice job.
[man] Good job, brother.
[Chuck] Like I said, nobody wants to get beat by a stock Coyote motor
and the 405 is a real deal.
And my eyes are set on Cash Days.
I think I have the fastest daily driver streetcar anywhere around.
And so I'm testing right now to win that.
And I just proved to him
they probably should bring somebody faster to Cash Days.
Some point we're gonna change this [bleep] oil in this thing.
-Like... -Don't service that damn thing.
Keep it... keep it going.
[Chuck] It had oil leak when I got it from the salvage yard, you know, the motor.
But like I know we put the oil pump gear in it, but Josh is cheap.
So he saved the oil, you know? So...
[Josh] I ain't gonna spend the money on that, dude.
I sell the [bleep].
Hey, man. If you tell me
you have the fastest car here in the parking lot,
I'm gonna let you know you don't.
-Yeah. You do. -So... Gosh.
Here's what... here's what [bleep] about that?
So instead of grabbing the scramble button, I grab the hazards, like,
so maybe I'm not really smart, you know? [chuckles]
-I think I know Chuck pretty well. -Sorry, Josh.
He must have got that hazards.
-No, I did. -Because, Chuck's mind is like, [bleep] you.
-Yeah. -No, 100% I got him on purpose.
But it [bleep] grabbing the scramble button to see what...
Oh, I got you. We only got two hands.
When you see him in the... in the side view mirror, it's a race.
But then you look up and you're like, "Oh, yeah.
-Daddy like." -Attaboy.
Where's my jacket, my helmet?
[woman speaking]
[Reaper] So funny little story about Charlie that I'm racing.
He had a '70 model Camaro.
And I was wanting to build a '70 model Camaro.
And I said, "Well, I'll see when I get time, come look at."
He goes, "I'll just bring it down."
And we kind of started a friendship there.
And he has been chomping at the bit to race me.
If he outrun me by some miracle,
oh, I'll never live that down.
He was about to explode in the drivers' meeting.
I thought about jacking with him and going,
"Nah, I can't take that race."
But I'm afraid he'd have probably stroked out on me.
He's got gray hair.
But he's a little young to be stroking out over a race.
-[woman] I love you. -[Reaper] Love you, too.
Hey, that lane's greasy.
Do you wanna stick with Black Magic or do you want some glue?
[Murder Nova] Since both teams are staying in the same lane all night,
we're trying to keep track as good as we can
of what we're putting down, how much we're using,
how big of burnouts we're doing.
And it seems like they are too.
And at this point, both lanes seem pretty even.
When it comes to street racing,
there's all kinds of chemicals
that you can put down for traction compound.
You can even be as simple as using water.
And a lot of times the mixture is determined by the surface that you're on.
Glue or Black Magic?
The glue seems to be working better tonight, honestly.
So the glue.
-I think it's working better. -[man] You got it.
All right, man.
[Charlie] Charlie Copeland, 2015 Mustang GT, twin-turbo, little bit of nitrous.
-I love you, Dad. -I love you too.
[man speaking]
I'm going to.
Pretty confident. I wanted this race for two years.
He's a good friend of mine.
And I've been asking for it.
And we just haven't been able to get it locked in yet.
So, yeah, I wanna kick his ass.
[Murder Nova] You're going in second, correct?
Okay.
So right now we're up 5-3.
We're starting to get a little lead.
So far, it's really working out with us
sticking to one lane.
Chuck made a killer pass.
The lane's looking really good.
So hopefully, that's also gonna help
Reaper out in this next race.
Reaper had a good pass last week.
He won against HPP.
He's starting to get it together.
And hopefully, he can continue his winning streak here tonight.
[engines rev]
[engines rumble]
[Murder Nova] Oh, that was close.
6-3.
-It wasn't bad race, though. -No, it wasn't bad race.
-[man] Reaper's car is coming around. -[man] Oh, yeah.
That Mustang is no joke. That car is fast.
All right. What's the call down there?
[man speaking on radio] We got left lane.
-[Murder Nova] Left Lane. -Of course they did.
[man] I gotta call down from here.
[applauding]
[man speaking]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Reaper put it on me.
Car laid over on the big end.
We were door and door. I thought I had him covered.
And I don't know what happened.
Lost a little bit of money, I think, 700 on it.
So it is what it is. It was fun.
And I finally get to check that off the bucket list.
[man] I got that.
[man speaking]
[Reaper] Hey, that bitch is [bleep] fast.
So when Charlie was jumping up and down telling Rusty Beavers,
"I wanna race James. I wanna race James."
I told him, "You need to look at that back window."
Come here. Come here.
"[bleep] around and find out."
Where was the gap? Huh?
Where was the gap?
That's why that back window says what it says,
"[bleep] around and find out."
Hey, thank you.
[Reaper] No problem. It keeps coming up.
-[Monza] Yo, dude. -Thank you.
Do I need to adjust these seat belts out for you?
-[Reaper] Huh? -Oh, you're [bleep].
Really?
[Monza] I see Stacy's putting extensions on them right now.
For me?
Stacy, start it.
So the 405 race,
I didn't know that Jonathan was gonna bring his truck.
And they had brought his truck
thinking that I was bringing mine.
So I told him, I said, "Boy, you know...
you know Rusty Beaver.
Just get with him and come on back out."
So I brought the truck out tonight just to race Jonathan.
-I love you. -Love you, too.
Try not to blow up the 4L60.
-Man, I'm gonna try... -Right.
...but, you know, we've gotta give it everything we've got.
[man] You didn't get your harness.
-[man] You're okay with that? -No, I'm gonna get it.
[Scott] Just save a couple of gears.
-Don't go all the way to the end. -Okay.
[engine starts]
[Jonathan] I'm Jonathan Cornelsen.
I'm driving a 2007 Chevy Silverado,
really nice little stock bottom in 48, 4L60 trans, turbo.
Man, it's just gonna be...
it's gonna be a race.
I'm gonna give him everything I've got.
And see if I can pull out the win
because I'm a big, hairy American winning machine.
[engine revs]
[man] [bleep] Damn.
Hell, yeah.
[man] Oh, man.
[tires screech]
-[man] Put him there. -[man] Yeah.
Find out from him if he wants to go in first or second.
Second? Okay.
20? 20? 20?
[engines rumble]
[man] That look good. That look good, boys.
[bleep] Look good, guys.
Look good.
[Jonathan] That's a win.
Right lane. Dang.
We've had some really good races.
We've had some surprising races, too.
So they brought some really good cars.
[Stacy speaking]
-Not really. -Well--
Might have hooked a tire.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
-[man] Truck on truck. -[man] That was cool.
-[Reaper] Awesome. -[Jonathan] Thank you.
-[Reaper] You bet. -[man] Thanks.
-Awesome race. Appreciate it. -Ryan goes...
I'm gonna hook the nitrous back up on that truck.
And he goes, "Don't go over 50."
I said, "I always run a 100 in it.
Don't go over 50. I'm telling you, don't go over 50."
I'm gonna put the nitrous back in it.
[laughter]
Hey, I'm gonna be honest, man.
I got a 100 shot in mine.
Once I clicked second, I hit it.
-It did hook the tire, and I wasn't ready for that. -Oh, wow.
I mean, it did hook the tire, which...
it's got a trans brake, but Ryan goes,
"I think the brake... I think he'll take it on the brake."
Oh, he won't take it on the brake.
But, I mean, hey, truck races are fun.
They are, man. Thank you.
And the fact we drive these trucks...
Yes, I love it. And I appreciate it.
[man speaking]
We did manage to get lane choice for the entire night.
-All right, it's all over but the doing. -Get him, brother.
[Doc] Our lane is in really good shape right now.
Theirs is kind of iffy.
So it might have worked for us.
They did sick a pretty nasty ass,
nitrous, couple of kits bitchin' Camaro on me.
It looks like it has the potential to be fast.
This car has had some issues.
It has the potential to be fast.
As long as I can keep a damn blower belt on it...
I just need to keep that belt on.
Eighth of a mile, it can come off right after that.
I don't care.
Got the last belt in Oklahoma City on it right now.
Hopefully, it'll last.
Fingers crossed. I figured it out.
And we get this win.
[engine revs]
[David] David Cohorn, Van Buren, Arkansas.
I drive a Chevy Camaro nitrous assisted LS.
I'm racing Doc. It's a ProCharged.
We have the same block, same motor.
I'm hoping I can just out mile an hour him.
I got a little power for him.
We've been testing all week.
I mean, just two to three hours of sleep all night,
trying to get ready for this.
So I'm just hoping it pays off.
-Dang. Hey, that's close. -[Murder Nova] God dang. Hey, that was close.
[Doc] Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Anybody wanna double up on them bets beforehand?
[man speaking on radio] Left lane by...
-I said left lane by a... -[man] Left lane. Left lane.
[Murder Nova] All right, man, what's the call?
-[man speaking on radio] Left lane. -Left lane.
[Murder Nova] Left lane.
There you go. Left lane by a fender.
See what happens when the [bleep] belt stays on.
[man] Hell, yeah, baby. [bleep]
-[Murder Nova] [bleep] was on the end. -[man] Yeah.
Missed it a little bit on the start line.
But man, when that tire grabbed
and that blower belt stayed on,
that big dog was eaten.
I mean, it was just reeled him in and just passed him by.
Didn't do [bleep] at the starting line,
but that [bleep] was rolling out the back.
God dang.
I'm ecstatic Chuck went up for the 405.
I helped us get closer to our nine and I'm getting paid.
[man speaking]
Wow.
They do well because they race the Hartshorn every now and then.
Hartshorns like streaks, you know.
And a lot of these cars like that red car.
I heard that was fast.
Well, we get ready to find out.
So I ended up with a Rusty Beaver,
which is the team captain of the 918 group
and maybe their fastest car.
It's a '67 Camaro.
Very similar to mine. Mine's a 69.
We're both running big block nitrous combos.
They got a lot of experience racing out at Hartshorn,
which we've raced there a few times.
But that "road" that everybody races on
is very similar to this road.
So I don't know where that'll play in for him.
If he outruns me, he's just gonna have a fast car.
That's just all there is to it.
Okay.
We're getting our ass kicked now.
Oh, drive the [bleep] out of this son of a butt.
I drive a '67 Camaro with a big motor in it.
Jesse, go ahead and turn the bottle on.
Make sure it's turned on full blast.
And a little bit of nitrous.
And fixin' to put it around Ryan Martin.
[man] This is a good race.
You guys got a fast car coming up.
I need to get a good light.
And I think I got enough power to do it.
It's just, "Can I do it?"
[Murder Nova] With Doc's win that puts us up 7-4.
That means we're two races away to sealing the deal.
And Ryan's coming up next, racing Rusty Beaver.
Rusty Beaver's already got a hit on the road.
And as we all know, that's definitely an advantage
when you're out here racing.
Anybody gonna do 20?
-[Farmtruck] 20 on this one? -[man] Yes, sir.
[Farmtruck] Lock it in, bro.
20 bucks.
Okay?
[engines rumble]
Damn!
'Effin' a.
'Effin' a, bro.
Thank you. Appreciate you, man.
-[man] Yeah. -Left Lane.
[laughs]
[man] Oh, yeah.
That's right.
-[man] That's right, buddy. That's right. -That's right.
-[man] That's right. That's right. -[Ryan] Thank you.
[Reaper] Little lazy?
[Ryan] Uh... not terrible.
[Reaper] Rusty's car is the fastest car they got on site.
[Ryan] Oh, really? What happened to him?
-[Reaper] He did a good job. -What do you mean?
[Ryan] I mean, did he... did he, like, smoke tires or something?
-No. You drove out of [bleep]. -[Ryan] Oh, okay.
Yeah. You know, when we first started,
I really didn't know what the street would take on a small tire
and how long it takes to get good enough
that you can put power on a small tire and all that type of stuff.
But we figured out how to get power to it early.
Now we got it to where it's pulling the wheels off the ground
on the starting line, which is, in my opinion, is badass.
One of the faster passes the car's made out here on this road.
I'm pretty stoked. That puts 405 an 8-4.
This thing ran just as good as I wanted it to.
And we ended up with one of the top running cars.
So I don't know. I'm pumped.
And we'll see what Street Wars brings.
I've got something for you Mr. Ryan.
You got something for me?
[man] It's already gone.
That's right.
We'll go buy some more E85 for that thing.
-[man] Yeah. -[laughs]
-Good race. See you later. -See you later.
[Damon] Are we next?
-[man] Yeah. -[Damon] Okay.
[man] I think so.
You all ready?
So, coming off the last week, I feel like
I need to do a little redemption here for myself.
Being the new guy, I want to be the one
that kind of seals the deal.
I asked for this by bringing this car out,
getting out on the Chevelle.
And this is the... kind of the pressure I wanted.
Things better act right, tonight.
This week, we got Kevin in the coupe.
He seems pretty confident.
But if we got the bugs worked out from last week,
I think we're gonna seal this deal up for tonight.
[Kevin] You know, I guess I'll put my helmet on.
I got my Dragy turned on. I hope it works.
My name is Kevin Copeland.
I'm from Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
Got a little '35 Chevy coupe. It's all steel.
Got a little old 350 with a blower.
It's more of a street car.
We might have brought a knife to a gunfight.
But it's sharp. We might cut somebody.
Racing Mr. Damon Merchant over there.
He's got a pretty fast looking Mustang,
but the score is 8-4.
So we can't lose.
We gotta win this one
or they're not gonna be very happy with me.
We'll just see what happens.
[man] 20 anybody?
OKC's up 8-4 right now.
We just need one more win to clinch this victory
and get the $1,400 pot.
And Damon can do that right now.
Even though we're pretty confident in Damon and his Mustang,
we've heard things about this little coupe,
and they say it's fast.
They say it runs good.
So I'm anxious to see what it'll do.
[engine revs]
[man] That car looks good.
[man] [bleep]
That's right. You see it dig that tire in?
[man] All right.
Anybody wanna take my money?
-What you doing, 40? -I lose, they get 40.
I know. I get it.
[engines rumble]
[man] [bleep] Man, that thing's fast.
That was crazy. [bleep]
That thing's fast.
Holly [bleep].
[man] Damn. Dude, that was getting traction.
-That thing's fast. -[man] Damn, dude. [bleep]
What's the call down there?
[man speaking on radio] Left lane by a car.
Left lane. Left lane. Nice job, guys.
[man] Oh, hell, that was fast, man.
[Murder Nova] Where's my other 20? [bleep]
-Who was it? Was it you? -[man] No.
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Oh, hell, yeah.
[Damon] Thanks, guys.
All right, we sealed that deal for the team.
And that's exactly where we wanna be.
Like, that's why we brought this car out
to be put in that position and it works for us.
So made $1,400 for the 405 tonight.
What happened?
-[man] Huh? -Y'all was pretty sure of that deal.
[man speaking]
[Damon] You seemed pretty sure of that deal.
-[man speaking] -You don't want that.
You don't want it. Huh?
[man] And you worried half way, didn't you?
[laughs]
[man speaking]
And you worried.
It was a good race. All right, good job, guys.
-[man speaking] -[man] Man, I think that's a hotrod.
That's a good looking car. That's a good looking hotrod.
[man] I think it's moving.
If the rumble seat hadn't have come open...
-[Damon] Oh, is that... that what it was? -Yeah.
-It [bleep] y'all's aerodynamics up, didn't it? -[man] It did.
That worked like a wing, like downforce.
[man speaking]
[Damon] Thanks.
-We're good at it. -We're good at it.
You raced that little blue?
-[Murder Nova] Yeah. -That [bleep] was fast.
Is it? I heard it was.
Man, you guys are the coolest guys out here.
Showing up with cars like this, this is bad to the bone.
-I love it. -You can drive these cars anywhere.
That's right. Hell, yeah.
I'm racing Zack, I saw the car when he pulled in.
It's a really cool car.
And you got the car seat in the back?
-[Kevin] Yeah. -[laughs]
Hey, let's let little ASN ride back there.
He'll fit in it.
We'll put AZN in it.
Stock looking wheels on the front of this thing,
and it looks like something you'd see
grandma taking to the grocery store on Sundays.
Whenever I drive this, I've got a different tune
that is not the race tune.
-Love you. Be careful. -Love you, too.
Okay.
Even though we've already won the majority of the races,
we've already won the $1,400 pot,
this race is still very important.
It's $500 on the line.
And more importantly, the data
that I'm gonna get on this pass
could make or break me
when Street Wars is just next week.
It's been a little bit of an up and down season
and I wanna finish it off strong with a win.
[engine revs]
My name is Zack Wiedel.
I'm from Eufaula, Oklahoma.
And I drive Fake News.
It's a '63 Chevy Nova, nitrous-assisted LS engine.
[engine rumbles]
I'm racing Murder Nova.
And I feel like I got enough to offer to take him out.
[engines rumble]
[applauding]
-[bleep] -Good job.
[man] All right, Ryan. Yeah. Good one.
-[man] Daddy Dave owed this. -[Ryan] Yeah.
[man] We're gonna get him. We're gonna get him.
[man] We knew... we knew this was gonna be a good race, Ryan?
-[Ryan] Yeah. -[Murder Nova] I saw the light come on.
I foot braked it.
I stuck it to the floor, and the car left good.
I let off the button. I felt no change.
[engines rumble]
-Nitrous didn't work. -[man] Huh?
Nitrous didn't work.
-[man] What do you mean, "it didn't work"? -It didn't work.
I let off out there. Whenever I realized I was railing him,
I let off and nothing changed.
So on the way back I hit it two or three times.
Nitrous isn't working.
[man] Oh no, [bleep] sprayed.
[Murder Nova] Uh-uh. That was motor.
[man] You went 609 on blower, then.
There you go. Hey, I believe it.
You can hit it right now.
And it's... Literally, it's not nothing.
We turn the bottle on?
Yeah.
No nitrous.
In my opinion, the nitrous never came on, it never worked.
Hey, that thing ran pretty good, though?
Yeah, I mean... better than I thought it would run.
Whether the nitrous worked or not,
we're gonna up it,
and we're gonna make sure that the solenoids are clicking.
We're gonna make sure that it's spraying.
So that the next time we come out here,
the next time we race, we'll...
we'll know we're ready.
I have to go get my money.
[Ryan] Okay, so race number two for me tonight.
And this is our last pass before Street Wars.
[Chuck] Hey, AZN.
-[man] For 20. -[Chuck] Race for 60 foot.
[man] Yep. Let's do it.
-Playoff starting line. You got right Lane? -Yes sir.
-Sure. -Yeah.
-I have to take my shoes off. -You can take them off.
-[Jasmine] Can you hold my phone? -[man] Yeah.
My name's Jasmine McCutchen,
and I'm from Checotah, Oklahoma.
[man] Yeah, whatever you call it.
[AZN] No, you chose to take those off.
I showed up on the tire I'm on.
[Jasmine] I'm about to race AZN 60 feet, and I hope I win.
-[chuckles] -We're getting close.
-You ready? -[AZN] Yep.
Are you ready?
[man] Go AZN, go!
-[cheering] -It's AZN!
-[Jasmine] I almost fell. -It's okay.
[Jasmine] We were shoulder to shoulder, most of it.
But then he got ahead a little bit when my leg gave out.
It was kind of sad that I lost.
But it was still really fun.
[Murder Nova] The fastest [bleep] on the planet.
You know what, man? I chose shoes. She didn't.
I got the... I got the right lane.
I knew it was the better lane. It's been sticky all night.
So I feel good about it.
I won the team some extra money.
405, baby. Ooh!
[Ryan] Okay, so race number two for me tonight.
If I can, I like to get two races in,
it lets us kind of prepare for when Street Wars comes up.
And this is our last pass before Street Wars.
[Jeff] Who are you racing?
[Ryan] The blue car that Chuck raced.
-This thing? -[Ryan] Yeah.
[Jeff] You're just going out to make a statement.
[Ryan] What? I mean, two things.
Number one, they said that was your fastest guy and even Rusty Beaver
said that car's been 5-0 at the track.
He's like I don't know what he's doing.
And [bleep].
[Jeff] Blue Nova that just raced Shawn looked like they're fastest [bleep] car.
-[Ryan] I know. -[Jeff] It looked better than anything they had.
[Ryan] Yeah.
But yeah we're gonna try something.
[Jeff] That's what I told Jeffrey. I said, "Try it."
I said, "If I lose to that Nova, I really don't care."
-[Ryan] All right, we'll go see what I can do here. -[Jeff] Good luck, man.
[Ryan] I've gotta race the guy that Chuck raced.
His car looks fast. I'm sure it is fast.
We just made a really good pass,
but we wanna know what the road's gonna take.
So we turned it up.
I think it's either gonna spin the tires here,
or it's gonna go faster, one of the two.
At least we'll learn something and be ready for Street Wars next week.
[Jim] So I'm fixin' to race Ryan Martin.
I hopefully, I do a little...
a fair little better against him than I did Chuck.
I turned my car up a little bit.
So hopefully, we're gonna do a little better this time.
After reviewing my data log,
I just didn't have enough power in the last time.
All right.
[engine revs]
[indistinct chatter]
[engines rumble]
[man] Gave it a go. Gave it a go.
[Murder Nova] He's starting to get that old pat down, didn't he?
Left lane.
[Ryan] Look, we've had a lot of fun with this combo this season.
Officially that's my last pass before Street Wars.
We all joke because we're not nitrous guys,
so we said, "Hey, we're gonna try nitrous this season
and see how it goes."
And we ended up with one of the top running cars.
And I'm very surprised.
And I'm very proud of all my guys.
That's two more wins for me.
And we'll see what Street Wars brings.
It felt good and it was like, "Whoa."
[Reaper] That's why Dave was doing this.
-Oh, it was like this. -Yeah.
Good job.
[Farmtruck] Hell yeah.
Hey, is that car for sale?
[Jim chuckles] Might be.
Oh, a little too much.
[chuckles]
I turned it loose.
And it immediately just went up and smoke,
tried to feather it, tried to peddle it out of that.
About mid track, it's still knocked tires off out there.
And Ryan was way out there,
so I just finally decided to quit before I wrecked the car.
Watching Ryan just drive away from me,
pretty, pretty rough feeling.
-[man] Yes, sir. -[Jim] Good race.
-Good race, buddy. -Good job.
Your car is beautiful, man. I love it. For real.
-Thank you. -You bet. Good job.
-[man speaking] -Yeah.
I think so.
[man speaking]
-That Nova. -[man] Oh, okay.
16th pair that Nova called me out.
And Shawn raced him two races ago. The car looked fast.
I think I'm gonna have my hands full.
I told Junior, "Put something in it."
Let's see if it takes it, because we gotta get ready for Street Wars.
And the only way we're gonna do that is to go fast down this road.
[engine revs]
[Zack] It's me again Zack Wiedel.
And we drew Jeff Lutz this time.
And I got a little bit more to offer him
than last time, that was my first pass down the street.
So we're gonna hit it a little harder
and hopefully, have a little better luck this time.
-[Jeff] Love you both. -[Jeffery Jr.] Yep.
[Jeff] I'll give her my best.
[Jeffery Jr.] All right.
[Jeff] Come on, baby.
[engines rumble]
[cheering]
[Ryan] Good job, guys. Good job.
[man] Hell, yeah.
[Ryan] That thing [bleep] rolled out [bleep].
They both rolled out.
But that thing rolled out crazy.
Oh, come on [bleep].
[man on radio] Right lane half a car.
[Murder Nova] Right lane half a car.
[Jeff] Dammit!
Oh, well.
We had to try something.
Race with the Nova went down.
We turned it up.
And it just wasn't enough.
I knew that car was fast.
It's half the weight of me.
You know, with Street Wars coming up,
there's gonna be more cars like that.
So we had to try something.
And it was a little bit faster,
but not as fast as that.
Well, we tried.
We got our work cut out for us.
It's next week.
And I feel like we're gonna be making some big changes.
[man] Hell yeah, brother.
[Zack] That was a great race.
We turned it up a little bit and we were successful.
We crushed the competition.
It was... Matter of fact,
it was a donkey stomping on that one right there.
That's what we were looking for.
This is cloud nine.
I'm a little above that right now.
[Chuck] What do we change?
We left the back the same, right?
-But you just did that early. -I did.
Okay. And it's like...
What is that like?
One second? Yeah.
-Where it comes on sooner? -Yeah.
So if I, like, wait, like, before it shifts,
try and do the scramble in low.
Yeah. I got it. I'm gonna... I'm gonna try it anyway.
Here we are. Last race the night.
We're up 11-5 right now.
I feel like I'm racing one of the fastest guys.
He's their ringleader.
He picked all the races tonight, did a great job.
Great matchups.
They just didn't work out like he planned.
This pass here, I'm gonna try to win it.
And I'm testing for Street Wars.
Coming up next weekend, there's 32 fast drivers.
And I know I'm at least in the top five of those.
I'm gonna do my best, lay down a pass right here
and carry it right on to next weekend
and kick ass in Street Wars.
[engines rev]
[Rusty] I'm fixin' to race Chuck
and I tuned this car up.
I'm gonna give her hell and see how it goes
and wish for the best.
[engines rumble]
[Chuck] [bleep] Yeah! [bleep] Yeah.
That was a bad bitch.
Left Lane by a bumper.
Left by a bumper.
And you don't forget about that money before you leave.
[laughs]
-Just throwing it out there. -There's another race.
[applauding]
[Chuck] I left on that [bleep].
It held it all the way.
I don't know if it might have [bleep] stretched the rods.
[Monza] It might have stretched the rods.
-[Chuck] Hey. -When Chuck's surprised the motor's hurt.
-[Chuck] Yeah. -[laughter]
[Russ] What do you guys think?
It was a hell of a good time.
That was a good time, wasn't it?
As always said win, lose or draw, man, we're gonna have fun.
[Reaper] And we do appreciate you guys all coming down.
And man, to every one of you guys for bringing the right cars
to come and play and have a good time.
You guys have some cool cars, man.
Yeah, we appreciate it, man.
[Reaper] I appreciate it, brother.
-Yeah. -[Reaper] I appreciate you guys.
-Every one of you guys. -Yeah.
Thanks for... thanks for letting us come.
Thank you very much.
-[Murder Nova] Thanks for coming, man. Thank you. -[man] Good job.
[Murder Nova] The 405 finished off strong, we won 12-5.
We took home the 1,400 dollar pot.
We finally got a race where we stayed in the same lane all night.
And I feel like we're as ready right now
as we can possibly be for Street Wars coming up.
One thing that's gonna be different in the Street Wars
is we've spent all season being a team,
sticking together, helping each other out,
sharing data, racing teams from out of town.
Now at the Street Wars,
it's pulling out of a pot.
So we are gonna have to go up against one another.
And that's something we haven't done all season.
So it's gonna be a little bit of a different feel.
But we can still do it.
And at this point I think we're ready.
And I think somebody from the 405 can take it home.
[Murder Nova] It's been a long but rewarding season.
Amazing season.
[Murder Nova] I feel like contacting every leader of every team
that we raced, have them bring a couple of cars.
Every car that's over there probably outran once of us.
Wanna welcome you, guys.
This is Street Wars.
[engines rumble]
[bleep]
Oh my God.
The very first Street Wars.
[man] Street Wars, baby.
We're making history here.
[Murder Nova] Is that his drive shaft?
-[Farmtruck] He hurt it. -I broke the [bleep] drive shaft.
-I heard it clicking. -[bleep]
[Murder Nova] There's a couple of cars here that,
you know, you kind of wanna stay away from.
[bleep] Damn.
Easy money.
[indistinct argument]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Hey, nobody saw that coming, did they?
