[man reading]
[narrator] Tonight on Street Outlaws...
I don't have anybody helping me
who could read the road as well as chief.
Sean and I find out what it takes to win
when you're doing it on your own.
And if I lose the race, it's going to be, well...
Sean was the glue that held the whole thing together.
[narrator] And with this shaken up...
I don't need to second guess myself, just [bleep] turned up.
If he beats me, he's going to earn it.
[narrator] ...e ach driver in the four or five better step up their game
in order to climb the list.
Come on.
[narrator] Ryan Martin faces the intense pressure
that comes with the crown of being the fastest driver on any surface.
That car's fast. Like, he's fast.
[narrator] And we're all reminded just how high the stakes are
out in these streets.
Whoa!
[narrator] Oklahoma City's top ten list has produced
the fastest street race cars in history.
Oh, [bleep]!
Whoo!
But now it's a new era and we have a plan to build this crew better.
It's gonna suck right now,
but we're gonna do whatever the [bleep] we have to do.
Guy, I've been working my ass off to [bleep]
everybody on this [bleeping] list.
- [narrator] Stronger... - I'll drive the wheels off this thing.
- [man bleeping] - Damn!
...and faster.
I hadn't made a pass like that in the long [bleeping] time, dude
But we have to push our cars and ourselves.
There may not be a chance that we can stay friends.
...harder than ever.
- Everything I have my whole life. - Everything. Yeah.
- Literally. - Nothing like it.
Even if that means looking at this like never before.
We suck it the list, so we're gonna get rid of it.
We're about to prove...
Whoo!
...no one can dominate the street...
Oh, yeah!
...like the four o five.
That's how you do it.
Hang in there.
All right. So I didn't like the wheel tire combination.
The other wheels and tires shook a little bit on the street.
We're going to try a little bit taller tire,
and we're gonna try a little bit wider wheel.
Uh, and... And by the testing that I've done with it so far,
It works really, really good. We're number one.
- Yeah. - And...
Hopefully, with a little luck and some hard-ass work that we've been puttin' in,
we will be able to finish number one.
[Ryan Martin] With the shakeup complete the list is set,
and every driver on it is going to be looking
to take his car to the next level
in order to make his way to the top.
I was able to hold off Dave in the shakeup final.
Take home the crown and five G's.
Yeah, I could get more aggressive here.
[Ryan] Dominator made the biggest jump of them all...
...climbing all the way to the number four spot.
Chief, on the other hand, fell all the way down to number five.
But if I know Chief, he's gonna come up with something
to try to get that crown back.
I beat Murder Nova, stuck him at number eight.
He'll be working out of his shop this year all alone.
It's gonna be interesting to see how he performs,
starting that low on the list.
And all the way down to the bottom of the list is Shane at the tenth spot.
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a street racer no more.
And with the pressure that chief is putting on all of us this year,
you better be pulling out all the stops to climb to the top.
No callouts have been made yet,
and with everybody wanting to call out up,
we really have to figure out who gets to call out who
come race night.
All the weight that was on the inside of the car...
Yeah.
...which was a lot because of some track racing they've been doing lately.
Mm-hmm.
Approximately forty pound in the center.
And then we had about sixty pounds up front.
That's about a [bleep] ton on the front.
So that's a hundred pounds.
So we took it off completely and I put two of those pucks,
which are approximately fourteen pounds in the very back of the car.
So it should let the front end travel more
- and put more weight on the back tire. - Yeah.
And with the tune up that we're going to try, that's we need.
Yeah.
[Ryan] Fireball has been set up for track racing lately.
[man] Ryan Martin!
[Ryan] So we've been tweaking things here and there
to get this thing ready for the street.
Before the shakeup finals,
we made a big four-link change.
Today we're moving weight to the rear of the car,
and we're gonna try a new tire and see how all that performs.
This car is obviously a championship car at the track,
but with that comes a lot of extra pressure to be fast on the street.
So if I stay on top of my game,
there's no reason why I can't hold off
any of these guys that come for my crown.
Look, I don't know if these were like the savior,
and we're going to be able to go super-fast, like, set records on these,
but they're going to be better than what we're on.
- So all these changes, hopefully are sixty? - Sixty goes better.
- We'll be out in front of them and we'll be at risk. - All right.
- I'm going to go get a trailer. - I'm going to get this done.
- All right. - Yeah.
So, a new family member then?
- Oh, the lock up? - Yeah.
The lock up is in the car for right now.
What do you mean by right now?
It's still in there.
I haven't taken it out yet.
In the quest for doing more with less,
instead of trying to get four thousand horsepower motor
or a five thousand horsepower motor,
I'm trying to figure out how to use the three thousand horsepower that I have.
So after getting my ass kicked by Dave last week on the street,
we've decided to implement something
that we've never used on the street before,
and that is a lockup torque converter.
Somewhere between the bell housing on the transmission
and the first planetary gear set,
there's a torque converter in there.
And no one really knows how they work or why they work,
but there is a certain amount of slippage
that a torque converter will yield by the end of a run.
You need that slippage earlier in the run
to get the RPMs up and to get the car moving.
But then, towards the end of the run,
you don't need the slippage anymore.
It's just slipping...
losing horsepower through the drive...
So if you're making three thousand
the tires only seeing twenty eight hundred
or whatever that number may be.
Lockups are tricky to use.
If you tune it and you lock that thing up at a bad part of the road,
you risk spinning the tires and aborting the run.
Ryan and I both had lockups this past season
and no prep kings, and we both faced this issue.
Yeah, we're talking about the lockups, right?
If I had to guess, though, I don't know if at least now
- is the time to try something. - Hmm.
And that was racing at the track
which is better than any surface we'll be racing on this season.
Ryan's not using a lockup converter on the street,
but I feel like if I can lock it up at the right part of the road,
it will be a huge advantage.
I think it'll work on the street, and I think it'll work good
for, you know, anything that I do with the car.
But what Sean leaving,
that puts me in a very weird position
because everybody is going to be focused on me and Sean.
Because we've been together so long,
if I lose the race, it's going to be, well...
Sean was the glue that held the whole thing together.
You know what I mean?
And I lose because I'm trying to lock up thing to race Dave and Ryan
It's just a lot.
If I'm going to preach how important list racing needs to be,
then I need to practice what I preach.
And that's exactly what I'm doing with this lock up.
It is risky, but we all need to be trying
new things and new ways to get faster.
We both know that you can team better than anybody else,
and you'll figure it out.
- You're just in time. - Yeah? For what?
Yeah, to help us work.
So another list shake up and another Murder Nova at the bottom of the list.
I tried the new tires, and...
They just didn't really seem to do
what I needed him to do.
I spun, I had to pedal it a couple of times.
Did you get rid of those tires?
I did. I did.
That was that was, uh... That was me.
That was my fault.
My goal is to get out of the bottom.
I got to get back to the top.
I really need to prove to myself
that I don't need to rely on somebody else
to tune my car, work on my car,
do any of that stuff that I can do it myself.
And I've got to get going as soon as possible.
I don't have anybody helping me
who could read the road as well as Chief.
And he can walk out there, he can look at it
and he can put a tune in the car.
And nine out of ten times
it's going to be the tune that the car needs.
- Okay. - While I'm still learning.
And... I still think we're going up the list, though.
- I don't think... - Oh, yeah.
I don't think that, uh, we're going down the list.
So taking a step back from Midwest
has obviously been the move that I needed.
I've worked on the car more.
I've spent more time looking at the data.
I've spent more time just going over the car and figuring out my program.
It may take a little time to get where I need to be,
but I'm on my way and it's going to happen.
- Transmissions coming out. - Why?
Um...
You know how sometimes whenever I start the car
and it grinds really bad and it sounds like [bleep].
Yeah.
That's the flex plate.
I'd rather change it now than have a problem at the line.
I mean, when you gonna test?
Uh, we're gonna test when we can.
Changing the flex plates is one of those things
that's not gonna help me performance-wise at all.
But I am going to change the flex plate out.
It's got a couple of bad teeth on it,
and every once in a while, whatever I'm starting a car,
I can hear the starter grinding.
And I don't want to be in a situation where it's time for me to race
and the car won't start, so we're going to change that out.
And that's not necessarily to help me win a race.
But if I don't make it to the starting line,
I'm definitely not gonna win
[grunts] [bleeps]
It's not the right one.
- What's the problem? - This is the problem.
Oh, yeah We drilled those out.
There's that bigger bolt.
I'm going to have to take this to a machine shop.
So you're going to have it drilled out?
Yeah.
Phantom, you want to see about, uh, can you run this over to him?
Mm-hmm.
All right, man.
So, what you doing now?
I'm changing the throttle bodies.
Maybe this thing will ride all right.
Hey, I don't like showing up to a race and not having problems.
Mm. You mean like last week.
Yeah, that was bull crap. We blew a perfect opportunity.
So we got to buys.
We don't ever get that lucky.
I don't know how we got that lucky.
Really, no test hits,
race Dave, which we know is the number one car
and he beats me by half a finger.
I think we're sitting in pretty good shape.
If we show up after this weekend,
and we don't have any issues...
call out the loser here, Ryan.
And let's see if we can get this thing on up at the top of the list.
We're down here tonight, kind of going over all the [bleeps] of the car.
We had some issues last week.
We think they were computer issues.
With the boost controller one of our cables wasn't working right.
Boost control quit working.
So we just want to make sure when we show up this weekend,
there's no no more [bleep] problems.
I know them boys was worried
after watching that pass we put up the side that day
with no test hits.
They better know it's coming.
Coming with a vengeance.
- Yeah. - And a long time coming.
It is coming.
Let's go get our number one spot.
Oh, good.
- [narrator] Coming up... - I don't need to second guess myself.
Just turn it up.
I'm gonna rock it.
[narrator] Climbing the list means everything.
- Gotta win. - Yeah?
Let's get this deal done.
[narrator] 'Cause if we don't...
...the list could become a thing of the past.
It's gonna be a long season if I don't get together.
[narrator] It's time to pull out all the stops
and leave it all on the street.
[Dominator] Literally, the last time that we did this,
I got fifteen pounds of rubber off the underneath side of the car.
So, I mean, it's going to make one hell of a mess.
- But it needs to be done. - Yep.
Before putting this stuff on him...
- Scrapped. - Scrapped most of it off.
Yeah.
I mean, with that pile of a car,
we're going to have to start cutting more weight out of it.
Yeah, it's got to go in. And, uh...
So, the truth is,
knowing how fast everyone is on this list.
Do I have the fastest car on the list?
No. Hell, no, I don't.
I would be lying through my teeth if I told you I did.
Can I have a number one car in the street?
Yes, I can.
We are fixing to take 700 pounds off this car
just by replacing the steel front end
and the doors with fiberglass.
It's going to get us really close to where everyone else is in weight.
In the very beginning, from sit-still to a hundred and fifty feet
is going to be extremely different
if we get weight off the car.
It's just physics.
When your car's lighter,
the same amount of horsepower is going to make your car faster.
I may not have the ET slips under a mile an hour
of the number one car right now
but we had done taken all the weight out of the car,
we're going to have.
We're 425 to 450 pounds heavier than everybody else.
So, we can't take that much weight out of the car
but, the front clip is an easy 100 pounds,
The doors, an easy 50 pounds,
the back bumper is 25. I got a new hood that we
haven't finished fitting.
With the wear and tear from the no prep kings schedule,
we need to retrofit the car to make maintainance on the
street a lot quicker and easier.
I guess what I'm saying is, I need to get rid of some [bleep]
so that I can buy another motor, so that
we got a backup because we need to have an engine
ready to go so that we can make 50 to 75 passes
and pull that motor out,
put the other other motor in it and just go through it,
put rings, bearings, gaskets in it, throw a set of rods in
and not run them until they break.
Midway through the season, We're in mad-thrash
reactive mode, trying to put the plie of [bleep] together,
rather than in proactive mode.
I want to be racing for number one.
Name of the game
[Dominator] And now, thanks to the shake up, I'm in striking
distance of the number one spot in the first time
in a long time. So, if I run a tight ship and stay prepared
for every list race this season, I've got a really good
shot at the crown and the number one spot
We're going to have to a different level of serious
You can't win races when you just put the motor back in.
[Big Chief] It's race night once again, we're back on the road
to get it on. Now that we have a list, it's time to push
even harder.
-I have to race -You're good
I've got my lockup torque converter in the Crow for
the first time on the street, and I can't wait to put
it to the test.
Now that we have established the list.
[Big Chief] With the list all shook up, it's time for the
cream to rise to the top.
We have one through ten. Ryan is the new king
of the 405 list.
[clapping]
And as the shake up should work, it shook up.
- It is shook up. - It is shook the [bleep] up.
And now, we get a little time and a few list races
to figure out where you belong
If you don't belong where you're at, we'll know it.
Only thing left to figure out now is the list from here.
How do the callouts work? Where do we go?
How does it end up?
[Big Chief] With this being the first list race after the shake up,
the first call outs of the season need to be made.
Everyone wants to call out the guy above them,
but not everyone gets to call out up.
That's just the nature of the beast.
Sometimes you have to defend your spot before you get
to call out, up.
So now, we have to figure out a fair way for everyone to get
the call out above or, defend their spot.
If evens call out odds, everybody wins.
Let Farm Truck and Agent flip a fricking coin.
- Got it right here. - Flip a coin.
So, obviously, if I call heads, I'm representing
the odds, we win, then the odds are going to
call out the evens. If I lose, the evens are going
- to call out the odds. - Too complicated.
- All right, I'm flipping it. - Throw it.
Heads!
Shot till it drops!
- Is it tails? - Tails.
[bleep] yeah.
So looks like those who started at the bottom are
going up.
- Bottom up! - Bottom up!
- Starting at the bottom. - You and me, Shane.
So the coin flip has decided. We have evens calling out odds
from the bottom, up
So, first up, we got Shane vs Lutz.
Nobody wants to be 10. And with us turning up the
pressure this year, Shane's got to be desperate
to climb out of that spot as fast as he can.
Then, Shawn will be taking on doc for the number seven spot,
and I'm racing Chuck for the number five spot.
In the top half of the list, we got Don calling out
Monza for the number three spot.
And you got Dave calling out Ryan for the number one spot.
With everyone trying to take it to the next level,
we're going to find out, who's got their [bleep] together,
and who's going to fall apart.
That's an art, just putting that front end together.
- Hell yeah! - You got this done quick!
All right, dude, how are you feeling about the race?
I feel good man, I feel really good.
If he beats me, he is going to earn it,
because that [bleep] thing is fast right now.
This will be my first race
of the season after taking a little more time
to get the car ready for the street.
Racing a guy like Shane, you can't take him lightly
because every now and again, he makes a clean hit down this
road, and it looks like the fastest [bleep] pass you have seen.
So I'm loaded for bearer, I've tested every night this week
for this deal, and I'm going to win this deal.
I promise you.
Plus, he is going to be a little desperate
to move up the list.
Yeah, I got the right line.
Don't need to second guess myself to [bleep].
Just turn it up.
I got little bit pulled out of in the end because it's going
to get bumpy down there.
Not much though, but it is going to be [bleep].
He is going to be cranked up.
I'm in here, I'm at the point now.
Got to [bleep] win.
Win, win, win!
I've been at the bottom of this list for too long,
and this season, it's do or die.
[Shane] Tonight, I'm turning this car way up. We're going to make
the fastest pass the Vega has ever made.
Either I'm going to win, or crash that [bleep].
That car wants to [bleep] get here.
Okay.
Oh [bleep]!
That looked pretty bad.
Went for a ride.
That happened quick as [bleep], didn't it?
He's hurt.
MAN: That looked pretty bad.
- I'm okay. I'm okay. - Wait for a ride.
You good, bro? Anything hurt right now?
All right, man, That happened quick as didn't it?
I can get out the other side, don't worry about it.
This race was huge for me.
I had to get out of that tenth spot and prove that I belong on this list.
So I winked it up much as I could, and it was a little too hot.
Well.
That's one way to leave the list, alright.
She's banging a life.
I took off like a madman, and before I knew it, I was hitting the curb side ways.
Rolling and rolling- end of the field.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
Done.
Can't afford it.
I can't-I can't rebuild a car, you broke.
What happened?
I crashed.
Again.
A few years back, I crashed a Vega.
Come on, Shane, wake up.
Did I win?
Man.
It took me a couple years to get the car back together the way I wanted it to.
There's nothing left.
It's gonna take a while to recover from this one. Poor car.
Then, just when I got the car fixed,
I crashed again.
But this crash, might be my last.
Oh, well.
I-I'm, I'm done.
- Yeah. - I'm done. I-I can't. I'm broke.
- My business can afford a race car anymore. - Yeah
- I understand. - I'm just, I'm done.
Done racing.
Done racing this.
Just-I'm-I'm retired.
Not- not coming back to the list.
I'm done.
I get it.
Yeah.
What do you do to the tune up for fresh dirt and grass on the road?
- Yeah. - I just can't believe you're gonna step up
and take that lane, man.
You don't want to see me hurt my car.
I hate to put you in the right lane, but, you know, I mean, I gotta go up.
I've got a race Murder Nova to get a chance to hang on to my number seven spot.
Then, after Shane's unfortunate event
that happened right in front of us in the right lane,
it pretty much destroyed the right lane about half, half the road down.
Uh, so you could tell that me and Sean were a little bit nervous.
Neither one of us really wanted that right lane.
Farm truck and Asian's here.
So we might as well get the flip done
Unless you guys have already decided.
No. Well, he wants to give me the right lane,
but I don't-I don't want to do that, you know?
-I'd rather-I'd rather... I feel exactly the way he does.
Okay, then you guys need a flip.
- Who's calling? Yeah. I don't care. - He can call it.
Tails.
It's tails.
Letting them religion.
I'll get in the way and you're not in. I'll get in the way and you're not in.
I know you need some time to decide which lane you want.
To start the season, we're running this big, huge nine fifty nine engine,
but unfortunately we heard it at the list
Shakeup. Grayson, David.
This week we have been thrashing all way, pulling a big motor output,
my old tried and true small seven twenty eight back in the car.
It's just hard for peoples nerves not to be a little shaken after that, you know
specially seeing it.
If I was back here and didn't see, it'd be a different story,
You can't be thinking about line, you know, No, I know. I got a job to do.
As soon as I get behind that wheel and get to chain strap all will be good.
We'll begin. Top of the shelf.
We have a different transmission, different converter,
different rear gear and different tire than the last time we ran the small motor.
So we have just a shot in the dark.
- I don't like this. - Why?
There's not really...
You're not really trying-you're not slowing nothing down.
Like they said the tyre's gonna off again.
I think that this one is fine, though like the only reason I did this
is because it was shaken at the track.
I've been tuning my car myself this year and it's time for me to prove to myself
and everybody else on the list that I could do it.
I'm pulling power out of the car for this run
because my car's been shaken on every pass.
Dave thinks that's the wrong move, but at the end of the day
I got to trust my own gut trust my own instincts.
I've been winning on the streets for years, and I can do this on my own.
I also think is gonna hook better out here than it did out there.
So I think he's gonna leave you sitting at the line.
- You think so? Not. - Absolutely.
Look, me and Sean have been friends for a long time
and I wanna see him start winning again.
And we all seen Chief helping Ryan.
With a little shake up, which is a new development.
So, I think Sean could use a little help in his corner.
Right there.
What's the official call?
- Doc by a few. - Doc by a few.
Chief steps back. Bangs alive.
I was dead on the light, my car sixty footed.
Never seen Shawn again,
next thing I know, flashlight-Doc's got the win.
Still number seven, baby.
It worked.
It worked. I didn't think it was going to, but it went straight down.
You look like you have to pedal after Taylor.
Nothing. I mean, before I knew it, I was at
past the bumps and everything, you know,
and I didn't see his headlights or didn't hear him,
so I pretty much knew he wasn't gonna come around me.
It feels absolutely amazing to get a win over Marinova.
For us to come out and lay down a pass like that, man, the world's in front of us.
So at least now we would get the loser Chuck.
Yeah. He can't call me out. He stuck. So...
Okay, good.
- Well? - You know,
You know what I got to do.
Got a high? I got it.
Call you?
Yep.
I didn't lose the spot, but I didn't gain a spot either.
So now I have to defend my number eight spot against Lutz and, uh, it's gonna-
It's gonna be a long season if I don't get together.
I think if we'd put a little more power in it out of the hit,
it probably would've went straight.
But I don't know, he's still with a car out on me.
- You know what I mean? - Yeah, I know.
So I don't, I don't know.
- We've done this before. - Yeah, baby. Many times. Not the first.
It won't be the last either. Let's figure out which lane we are in first.
- Okay. - Who's calling it?
- Why don't you try? - Yep. Here we go.
- [Chuck] Tails never fails. - It's tails.
[bleep] it. I'll try my hand in the left lane over there.
Copy, copy.
- You want to see if Dave will flag it? - It seems to be consistent.
All right, so this is the first time in history
that Chuck has raised Chief for the number five spot.
Normally it's for the number one spot,
but look, I'm six. He's five. He's in my way.
The only way I can get to number one is through Chief.
Let's go up there.
[engine starts]
Normally, I swap out my motor every 50 passes.
But coming into tonight, this one has 51 passes.
But I'm not telling anybody.
Yes, it's on the back of my mind.
But this motor has been good to me.
It's fast, makes a lot of power,
and it's going to make past number 52 tonight.
And hopefully I can take care of Chief.
[man speaking]
Thank you. Thank you.
[Big Chief] So this pass will be my first pass in the street
with the new lock-up torque converter,
and neither me nor the Crow have any idea what it's going to do.
I knew the risk when I put the lock up
torque converter in the car for the street.
But you've got to be willing to take risk to get faster.
And that's what everyone else should be doing.
Only we do know about it is it's yet to go straight.
So there's that.
So nothing ventured, nothing gained on this.
And I feel like the thing is, I can't put
the tuna bonnet I want to put in it, you know?
I don't know.
I just feel like this is one of those times
where a little bit of finesse can go a long way to go
figuring out what we need, you know, if it goes hard one way or another
and I don't get to make the pass and we got no data
and if we have to race again, we're even worse, you know?
Maybe I could get down and kick his ass
to defend my number five spot and then start my way up.
Damn, Chuck made it look good.
What you got?
I got Chuck [bleep].
Chuck by a lot.
Whoo!
[Chuck] So Dave pulls Chief in, pulls me in, banks the light.
I let go the button and my car is on a rail.
Straight as an narrow rowing through the gears and boom.
There's the finish line. I pull the chutes.
I don't see Chief nowhere.
Not sure if he had problems.
Don't know what happened. Don't care.
I feel like I did everything right.
[indistinct conversation]
I was worried when he didn't show up
down there, I was like, "I didn't jump, something stupid, did I?"
So I need to wait for the loser of Monza and Dominator.
This combination that I have right here
just made one of the fastest passes tonight.
My motor stayed together.
It got me to the finish line first on the new number five
and finally making a run for that number one spot.
That's how you [bleep]!
That's how you do it, right there.
[bleep] something up in the computer, that is the last [bleep] minute.
They didn't have any [bleep].
So that went about as bad as it could have went.
I was so focused on the new lockup torque converter
that I didn't put enough power in the car out of the hole.
And the race was over before it even got started.
Sometimes with [bleep] like this, it just takes me a few laps to get it figured out.
So it hurts.
It sucks to show up number one.
And now I'm number six.
But at same time, I know that I've got a little time.
A second list race of the season.
It's not over yet.
I just got to get [bleep] together and stop falling.
- You good? - Yup.
You know I'm here.
- Let's do it. - Right to do it.
- But you know. - Why was you hated?
- It is what it is. - Best chance to get on me now, I promise you.
You ain't doing nothing wrong.
- Hey, you're still good [bleep]. - All right.
He calls it.
Hey, drove the farthest.
- They you go, against the wind. - Tails.
It is a head, sir.
- You know where I'm going. - You're going to take the right lane?
- Yeah. - That is [bleep] nice of you.
List said, I have a call out on Monza for number three.
I know my car's fast enough, and if I could make it go straight,
I've got a shot at beating Monza again.
Lanes this evening have not been quite equal.
I unfortunately, lost the coin toss
and got stuck in the right lane.
I've been battling my car going left.
We offset the car a little to the right to compensate for the left.
We'll see how it goes.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Be careful.
Last week, at the list shake up,
we got lucky. First round we drew Lutz.
When he didn't have his car ready.
Second round, we got a buy.
Bam, boom shaka laka.
Which we really needed because we were bad and boost controller problems.
So by couldn't have come at a better time.
We finally got the boost controller issue figured out.
We had to race Dave.
We gave him a hell of a race.
He nudges out right there on the finish line.
Feeling confident coming into this race
after running right beside Dave like we did,
we got to take a Dominator out so we can head back up this list.
[engine revving]
We need the car ready for street racing, after track racing
for so many weeks,
takes a ton of work.
The three speed has not won
[bleep] race on the street.
Toughest part might be changing up your tuning mentality.
I'm racing to be number one. So I'm gonna tune up so that no one can outrun.
Guess, what, I can't even outrun.
To win on the streets, you've got to turn the car down to hook up and go fast/
We have been track racing a little bit with it,
and it has been going faster and faster.
Now you have to be able to learn how to turn it down and still be fast.
- Yes. - Tell you what.
Turning the car down stings the ego of any street race.
I can tell you in the several years on the noon that's on the street.
This is far [bleep] I have this car right now.
[bleep] That was you, boy!
That's a strong number. What's the call.
Dominator, by five.
Dominator by five?
- Whoo. - Wow.
I felt like I left as soon as the light
was coming on, I had a quick pedal because I felt it going left.
I jabbed the throttle really quick.
And shortly after I did that, he had an issue.
I see him just sit still.
So we're sitting in number three.
That's great.
There's two really fast cars above us.
There's really fast cars below us.
We're in a whole hornet's nest full of really fast cars.
So you got one choice.
Turn it up even more and hope you don't put too much in it.
Well, it didn't make any boost,
so either the [bleep] controller took a [bleep] or something.
Chuck standing right there to call me out.
- I know. - There's nothing worse than losing
when it's human error and there's nothing broken.
Now that I got my ass kicked by Dominator.
I'm wide open for a call out from Chuck
and that's going to screw me out of being able to rerace Dominator.
[inaudible]
[bleep] Damn it.
- Yeah, I don't know. - I know, I know.
Somehow or another Mayer, it looks like that turned up.
I don't know if I do what didn't make a [bleep]!
Left and then it just [bleep] like the fire went out.
I'm gonna rocket [inaudible].
[bleep] I want to call him back out because I was out on him with no boost.
Tell you what, you race him [bleep] off the trailer,
You make sure you get it done early and I'll call off the loser.
Whether you lose your win.
- Call him out. - Okay.
Somebody wedged out turned my air bottle off, I my made zero boost.
So if I have made a good hit, I wouldn't do this.
But I'm calling you back out.
Yes, I did it.
The chances of outrun in that car, chances of our running that car is slim to none.
When I lost the Ryan in the shake up, my car got out there
and did exactly what it normally does.
Spins a tire 200, 300 foot out and I got a lift.
So tonight I got to do something
I don't like doing. I got to pull a little power
out of the car down track.
They're not cured by no means, but I want to see
if it's moving in the right direction.
If you take even a little bit of power out of your car, gets a fireball.
It's never a good idea, but if it allows me
to stay hooked up on the big end, and then it could be worth it.
Trying to make this thing go all the way, start to finish under full power.
It won't out run that car, but we're gonna see, our car's fast like...
Yeah, it's fast. Definitely beat him before.
I beat him before, but,
he changed a lot of stuff.
- Come on. - [indistinct conversation]
Need to make one quick change.
[Ryan] After struggling to get around Dave,
the past few seasons, it felt really good to beat him
at last week Shakeup finals.
But now there were list rising...
I got to start to fit in this crown.
I'm sure this will be first of many battles with day this season,
so I want to make it known early that he got nothing for me.
I'm running a new tire of this list race
and we were able to pull another 100 pounds out of the car.
I think that both these changes are going to help make a huge difference.
[engine revving]
[all cheering]
Driving, dude!
- Dave [bleep] out of that. - Damn.
He didn't want to lose that one, did he?
Man, he may just drove that bitch.
Rattling out again. Who we got?
[man] Fireball by a car and a half.
Wow.
[Dave] Pulls us in run back, turned the light on.
I nailed Ryan's ass on the treat
and my car turned sideways at 300 foot.
Oh, God!
I have to live. I'm not going to hit the curb.
I let Ryan take the win and I'll come back another day.
Like it's 60 footed better. Everything felt way better.
- [clears throat] - On the tire.
The car stayed down.
That makes me happy, though.
- One list shakeup, two in a row for us. - [man] Yeah.
We defended our number one spot.
Yeah.
Cars running good.
Stand together, one five G's in the process.
I'm on top of the world right now.
We just proved yet again that I've got the fastest car out here
and I intend to prove it all year long.
No matter the surface, the Fireball cannot be beat.
Just all, Dave, good job, baby.
You got about an inch away from the curb.
Yeah, I didn't want to.
- Good job. - I'll figure it out.
I'll come after you.
[narrator] Next week on Street outlaws...
We have a new face to the driver's meeting.
Boosted GT returns to the 405.
We're going to try for the old list again.
With a brand new combination to call out the list.
We got a bigger motor now.
Bigger turbos, and back on big tires.
And on race night...
- Where we had on the call... - Joe and Monza.
- Going first. - No!
What do you want? What number do you want to race?
- At least pick something. - Damn right.
Some guys forget why they're on the list.
Monza had this [bleep] damn sad ass face
and I forgot what [bleep] I was here to do.
And others are reminded that out here,
it's every man for himself.
[bleep] everybody on this [bleep] list.
I'm coming for you.
Go in to the hood and find out how we make our car so freaking fast
