"St n' loud"..." "Richard was losing his mind." "He loses his mind Over everything." "Hot rod hunter Richard rawlings." "Might have to eat his words..." "Did I let my alligator mouth Overload my tadpole ass?" "After agreeing to a race." "Against big chief Of "Street outlaws"..." "All right, big chief, I'll be there." "Just as master mechanic Aaron kaufman calls it quits." "With gas monkey..." "I'm already out the door." "And left the monkeys On their own..." "Coming in hot." "To build a racecar unlike Any they've built before..." "If we get there, we got Some smoke under the hood." "I'll tell you that." "Now the heat is on..." "It's serious, I mean, these Guys aren't jacking around." "Yes!" "As the monkeys Throw everything they've got." "Into their challenger build..." "This motor costs More than my house." "While aaron faces A challenge of his own..." "Racing against An impossible deadline..." "We're going to be all the way Down to the wire." "To take on another Set of outlaws." "It's going down." "It's time to get fired up Because this time," "The gas monkeys are in the fight Of their lives." "And there's no guarantee They'll come out in one piece." "He had to do that, Didn't he?" "Daphne!" "What?" "What?" "Get all the monkeys In here." "Okay." "Got to show them What we're up against." "Y'all remember how this party Got started, right?" "You know, some fan decided It'd be cool to see a challenge." "Between the gas monkey guys And the street outlaw guys," "And, well, one thing Led to another." "All right, big chief," "Gas monkey never backs down." "From a challenge, So you tell me when and where," "And I'll be there." "Richard, I hear you." "If that's what the fans Want to see, we're down to race." "It sucks you won't Race us on the street," "But meet us at fontana In six weeks," "And you better get fitted For your fire suit, big boy." " Are we in trouble?" " Well, sort of." "I mean, we're up against this." "So that's the street outlaws And that's big chief." "It's pretty serious." "I mean, these guys Ain't jacking around." "I'm just doing my homework," "Researching these boys From oklahoma." "And I'll tell you What I found... they're fast." "At least they look fast." " I'm sure they're very fast." " Yeah." "That's what they do For a living." "Yeah, I'm sure They're very fast." "So I'm keeping the heat On the guys to make sure." "This build gets done with enough Time for testing on the track." "Respect that those guys Are quick." " Yes, they are." " But don't underestimate us," "Either." "It was kind of a shocker When aaron quit on me." "And left the racecar build Shorthanded." " Like, he quit?" " He just quit." "Aaron kaufman just walks In and quits." "Not only are we down One master mechanic," "But aaron was maybe Going to drive this car," "So while I know my way Around cars, drag racing?" "Well, it's not A skill set that I have." "Rumor has it that big chief Is upset about me." "Not getting behind the wheel," "And the way I look at it is, He is a licensed nhra driver." "And since there's no mention In the rules." "As to who has to drive the car, Well, who better." "Than my licensed nhra driver Alex laughlin." "Let me tell you about the rules, 'cause I printed them out." "So it has to be a vin tag car." "It's an 1/8 mile standing start." "It has to be what They call a metal car," "Which is a steel roof And steel quarter panels." "500 cubic inch motor." "2,500 curb weight or better." "And we've got six weeks To build a car from scratch." "Those are the rules." "They're agreed to." "Matter of fact, tonight," "I'm going to post these On my facebook." "And you're going to be Able to see..." "Bam... who wrote them And where they came from." "Get you some!" "Yep." "Apparently, I did too awesome Of a job on the hemi." "Because kenny said It was so hopped up," "He needed time to tear it apart For fine tuning." "Pit crew worthy now." "Yeah." "While the motor's Getting worked on," "I'm doing my best to make sure We don't the bet." "All right, so, can we win?" "Yeah." " Absolutely." " You see him racing 'em," "But you don't him Building 'em." "Well, we can't Underestimate though." "Chief's fast, so we got To figure it out," "And I need..." "I need a car that'll win." "Stop talking, start building." "Let's go." "All right, get out there And build us a fast car." "And we're gonna go try to win." "Well, we're not going To build a slow car." "Well, build a fast car fast." "We build every car fast." "Yes!" "Texas doing it big all the time." ""Fast n' loud" all the way." "Hands down, "Fast n' loud,"" "I'm going to have to go with "Street outlaws" on this." "They got the experience and they Really know what they're doing." "Come here, lola." "What do you think?" "You like it?" "Yeah." "I know." "We're missing A couple odds and ends." "So it's been a couple of weeks." "Since I've parted ways With gas monkey," "But somehow I'm back In a familiar place." "On another incredibly Tight deadline." " What's up?" " What's going on, man?" "It started when I got a visit." "From a couple street outlaws Farmtruck and azn." " I don't owe you money, do I?" " How you doing, man?" " How you doing?" " It turns out they weren't." "All that happy About being left out." "Of the outlaw/gas monkey Showdown." "So we thought, hey, why should They have all the fun?" "We want to do A build off against you." "We could have An autocross course." "We can have a drag race." "So what's the deal On the stakes?" "We should just run For pink slips." "Yes, 100%." "Let's do it." " Okay." " Okay." "So I picked up A '95 bmw e36 m3." "And stripped off Everything I didn't need." "Screw you, plastic." "I started making a list Of the things that I do need." "To make this my kind of race, And here's the rub..." "Although I'm using A modified ls engine." "That I have sitting In my garage," "Almost everything else Has to be ordered." "What's the deal With the..." "And even with john's help, I'm still waiting on most of it." "The cinder And the other fuel parts." " Tomorrow." " The gaskets." "Yep." "What else have You been working on?" "Just putting the front Suspension on minus the springs." "So that we could set The fenders up tomorrow." "When the wheels come in." "And probably start Cutting some tubes." "We're still short The barbs, you said?" " Yeah." " Okay." "My plan is to start On the roll cage tonight," "But there's not a lot I can do Until I get more parts." "So I figured this might Be a good time." "To take a second and scope out How my competition is doing." "How come we don't hear?" "..." " something's got to be wrong." " step out of the closet." "Well, if they raced the same way They operated a cellphone," "I'd say advantage aaron." "How close are y'all Getting your car done?" "Y'all moving along?" "We're already driving it around." "Well, that's..." "That's impressive." "Yeah, we just got back From lunch in ours." "It's getting deep around here." " yeah." " yeah, dude, it's deep." "What, the b.S.?" "Yeah." "I wanted to make sure We're still racing for titles." " We're not scared of you!" " well, that's good." "We're probably going to bring some car wax with us, 'cause we want it shiny when we take it off your hands." "Yeah, hey, you're gonna Want it nice and clean." "No, dude, we're pacing ourselves." "It's going to be a good matchup, man." "We're going to give you guys a run for your money." "Excellent." "That's what..." "I wanted to hear." "We were gonna To have a race." "It's going to be beards versus skins." "Okay." "Sounds good, man." "All right, We'll catch you later." "We'll be out there ready to race with no sleep." "I can guarantee you that." "We'll be in the same boat, I'm sure." "See ya!" "Well, that didn't Give me much intel," "But I do know this..." "If I want time to dial it in." "Before I head out to cali," "I need to have a finished car In two weeks." "That means I need to take care Of anything that I can now," "Because pretty soon, I'm going to have a full plate." "And not much time to eat." "So this is the rear end Richard bought." "Just in the anticipation Of the racecar." "Well, at least he gave you Somewhere, a base to start with." "Yeah." "And the major reason We chose the 513 gear." "Is once we did the math, Knowing the rpm." "That we want to cross The 1/8-mile line with," "We got a 2-speed Transmission." "And when that thing Goes into high gear," "The math told us we needed A 513 with a 36-inch tire." " Okay." " This is what it's going to take." "To leave the line... okay." "And still cross without," "You know, Blowing the motor up." "Kenny put heavyweight gears Inside of the housing," "Which is critical for us, Because we're going." "To be hitting it with 3,500 horsepower all at once." "And if you don't Have good gearing," "You're going to shred the thing Before you ever leave the line." " How fast are we going to go?" " How fast?" "Probably somewhere At 190 mile an hour." "It's close to 200, Probably." "Now we're talking." "I think we can." "That's awesome." "Yeah, that'd be..." "If we get there," "We got some smoke Under the hood," " I'll tell you that." " I'm excited." "Well, we'll get this thing apart And get all new parts in," "And we'll start there." " Okay." " Sounds good." " I'm going to grab some tools." " Okay." " Here she comes." " Here we go." " Got it?" " Yep." "All right." "We're swapping out what's called The third member." "This is also known As the heart of the driveline." "This is where you transfer The 3,500 horsepower." "From the engine to the wheels And into the ground." "The engineering," "You can tell How much heavier load." "This thing can take." "This specific third member Is called a 513." "This is a reference To the diameter." "Of the ring gear inside." "It's designed Specifically for racers," "And it can handle The enormous force." "Put on it by an extra engine." "Yeah, this is a nice Piece of equipment here." "I think that's exactly What we needed." "We've got to keep Moving at all fronts." "If we're going to meet Richard's deadline," "Giving alex the week he needs to Test-drive the car on a track." "So you guys Haven't done, like," "A whole bunch of just Straight-up racecar builds?" "Honestly not, you know," "The dart was the closest thing We came to that," "And we weren't going anywhere Near 200 miles an hour." "This is a whole New beast for us." "This car is unlike anything We've ever built before." "I mean, we're Professional hot-rodders," "But amateur racecar builders." "All right, man, I guess This is a good time." "As any to get this thing in." "Just remember, we ate Our wheaties this morning." "Yeah." "We're going up against The fastest street racer." "In the country." "We need every advantage We can get." "All right, I'm going to have To jack up quite a bit." "So you just..." "Okay." "I'll stabilize it." " Ready?" " Yep." "Just what you're doing, Just more." "Yep." "More." "Hey." "We're in." "All right, yeah." "Well, That takes care of that." "Now we just got to hope It stays together, 'cause, you know, Even though richard said." "It's okay to spend his money, When you actually do it," "It really get him upset." "Good to know." "Coming up On "Fast n' loud"..." "Coming in hot." "The monkeys wrestle With 3,500 horses..." " down a little bit." " Whoo!" "Pretty much Just been staring." "At this car for two weeks." "And aaron's bmw Build get a major boost." "Finally got some big stuff." "All right, got the motor Ready to go in now." "That we've got The compression changed." "This thing is so nasty, Dude." "You know, Richard was losing his mind," "Because he thought, you know, We're talking three, four," "Five extra days." "He loses his mind Over everything." "I know." "Let's get this stabbed in." "We know everything's Good there now," "So we can continue Getting the transmission," "All that stuff on." "Hook it up, let's drop it In real quick." "And then we'll Take it from there." "Let's do it." "Who's driving the forklift?" "Go for it." "Me?" "Yeah, why not?" "Okay." "Maybe that was A bad idea." "Ooh, yeah." "Sounds Like a good idea to me." "It's pretty clear that Richard really wants to win." "He spared no expense On this specialty engine." "This motor costs more Than my house, so..." "I know." "Dude, I know." " Forward." " Yeah." "Onward to the car!" " Coming in hot." " All right." "Bring your whole forklift Towards the car, if you will." " Okay." " Six inches, six inches, mike." "You should know All about six inches." "Shoot, I wish." "Okay, straight in, mike." "Good?" "All right, you can Take it down now, mike." "Down." "Hold on." "Take it slow." "Down a little bit." "Where you at now?" "You know how to go up?" "Hold on, nope." "You want to go down?" " Up?" " Guys..." " down?" " Down." "A little bit." "Out front?" "Forward?" " Hold it." " Pause." " Backwards?" " I've told you." "We need A more comfortable seat." "Here." "We don't know what chief Is racing with," "So our strategy from The beginning has been," "Whatever will get us the most Power to the ground faster." "We're betting this hemi Is going to get us there." "That's it." "All right." "Put her down, mike." "Don't forget About kenny's blower." "It's all about getting off the Line faster than the other guy." "And a supercharger Is exactly what we needed." "What the is that, Dude?" "That's how we're going to carry The blower over to the car." "Why don't we just..." "Is it a swing set?" "I don't know." "You can do Whatever you want with it." "Once we get the blower On the car," "But it costs way Too much for you." "To be playing with Right now." "This doesn't make any sense, This thing." "It's a little wobbly." "How much is this thing?" "Way more than we make." "With drag racing, You have three options." "To boost power by forcing air Into the motor..." "Nitrous uses pressurized." "Nitrous oxide injected Into the motor." "Turbos take engine Exhaust to spin turbines." "To force air into the motor." "Kenny's choice is A screw blower," "Which forces air down Into the engine." "By way of two Screw-like turbines." "The power is immediate And his preference." "On his pro racecars." "I don't understand This contraption." "I think you're fascinated With it." "Do we know how hard It would be to reach?" "Weird." "Yeah." "Let's take it back behind The car, so it's out of our way." "This is really exciting." "We have never built An engine like this before." "Man, that's, - That's one hell of a blower." "Looks like a whole lot Of power there." "Yeah, a lot." "I think we have so much power They're going to have to." "Tune it down to get it To hook up." "Hey, let's hope so." "Yeah." "If we want to win this race Against the street outlaw guys," "We got to have This kind of power." "Well, we got to take the tape Off from underneath it, too." "Well, we're not running it yet." "This is why you paint." "So, it's delivery day At casa kaufman finally." "I've pretty much just Been staring at this car." "For two weeks, Which is basically due to having." "Virtually no parts To build with." "Rock 'n' roll!" "Yeah." "That's sweet." "Thank you." "Yeah." "A little bigger Than the fender, isn't it?" "A little bit." "That's the reason These aren't welded on." " But we've got sheet metal." " We'll fix all that." "I might've gone overboard A little bit on the rubber." "But we still don't even know What kind of race this is," "And I like to keep My options open." "I got 15 tires here." "Golly, that is a lot of tire!" "I got another set Inside the truck." "Holy crap!" "So I got two sets of nt01s." "And I got a pair Of 555r drag radials." "For the rear." "Yeah." "I pulled in the nt01s For any autocross applications," "And the drag radials Are just about." "How much rubber I can put on the road." "Well, I guess let's get The big dome ones out of here." "And the 555s and the other set." "So that we can send the wheels." "And get them balanced up." "I love days like this." "They're somewhere between Christmas and moving day." "And the fun doesn't stop When the sun goes down." "Finally got some big stuff." "Looks like about everything." "We need to get The motor fired up." "We finally got all of the holley Parts... my wiring harness," "My intake, fuel reels, coils." "I've got my bell housing, My clutch." "So now it's just time To start putting." "All of the pieces Of the puzzle together." "Problem is though, I've got like, I don't know," "About a month's worth of work To do in the next three days." "Holy why in the World does anybody live up here?" "Dude, we're in the middle Of nowhere again." "There's nothing here." "Look, there's a house In the middle of a field." "We're literally in the, like," "Frozen armpit tundra Of the world." "For a while now," "I've been searching everywhere For my favorite car" "I had in high school, A red '78 trans am, 6.6 liter, 4-speed, power windows, Power brakes," "T-tops, gold bird, Gold wheels." "The shizzle." "I think we passed it." "Now that combination Is really hard to find," "So when I got a call out Of the blue the other day." "From my old buddy dave hall Saying he found one," "I grabbed dennis and hopped on A plane out there lickity split." "Yeah, we..." "We missed it again." "If you don't remember, dave is The guy who helped us track down." "The smoky and the bandit car A couple of years ago." "And if he actually managed To get his hands." "On a '78 trans am With all of those options," "He's my new best friend." "Sorry, dennis." "I'm just stoked." "I mean, if this is the same car I had in school," "That is just wicked." "It's freezing out here," "And if I came up here For not the right car," "I'm gonna be pissed off." "Wow, he's got a big shop." "This is actually the worst time For me to be away from the shop," "Because I'm leaving the monkeys Unsupervised on a build." "With no budget That's bleeding money." "Whoo, here we go!" "But dave said if I don't Come over and check out." "The car now, like, right now, It's going to be gone." "And considering I've been Looking for one." "For over three years, I wasn't About to take that risk." "It's frickin' Cold and miserable." "Who lives up here?" " I don't know." " Holy cow!" "I thought he just had A trans am shop." "Holy crap." "He might have to be My new money friend." "What's up, dave?" "What are you guys up to?" "Next time we go to dinner, You're buying." "My name is dave hall With restore muscle car." "Here in lincoln, nebraska." "You probably shouldn't Have brought us up here." "We are known as one of the top Trans am restoration shops." "In the world." "As soon as we walked In the building," "This is one of the nicest Shops I've been in." "This is my high school Car right here..." " '72450 h.O. 4-speed." " Dude, that's rad." "So that's actually the car You drove in high school?" "Yep." "He has like 100,000 Trans ams in there." "That was the star Of the trans am right there." "The one on top, It's got 79,000," "One owner, 4-speed super duty." "This is a 4554-speed car." "Out of california That I just got in recently." "This is freaking Ridiculous, man." "This warehouse Is incredible." "I don't know how many Millions are in here," "But it's more than one." "All right, that's enough Let's talk about high school." "Where's my car?" "Over in the building." "You got another building?" "Yeah, to the north." "We... we're doing Something wrong." "Yeah." "Are you kidding me?" "!" "I want to see What I used to drive." "I paid 4,500 bucks for mine In 1986." "Are we doing the age Before beauty thing?" "Yeah, y'all are old." "There she is." " Wow." " Ha-ha!" "Ridiculous!" "Coming up On "Fast n' loud"..." "I'm ice skating for you." "Richard's got Trans am troubles." "He's turning on the lights!" "We got to get out of here." "And later..." "The challenger Goes off the rails." "I want to see What I used to drive." "It's not easy to find." "It's rarer than We thought it was." "We can't find one." "We're at my buddy Dave hall's shop." "In lincoln, nebraska, On the hunt for my favorite car" "I had in high school..." "A red '78 trans am." "I've been hunting For one of these babies." "For over three years, And dave claims he's got one." "In his building over here." " Boom!" " Ha-ha!" "I love it!" " Wow!" " There she is." "So he opens the door, And I'm like, "Yep."" "The elusive red/black, 4-speed t-top car." "Holy cow." "Boom!" "This is a nice car." "Ridiculous!" "That's the first time I've seen one of these cars." "Since I had one." "This is frickin' so rad." "So we pride ourselves on being Able to find anything, right?" "We could not find One of these." "God, it smells just like The car I had when I was kid." "So how did you find this?" "A good buddy of mine Found it out of california," "And he had it in storage For quite a few years." "And he called me up, And I'm like," ""I think I might have A home for it."" "I think they only built A handful of these." "It's got power windows, too." "Did you see that?" "Sounds good, too." "This is rad." "Can I take it for a drive?" "Sure." "I'm going to need My hat for this." "It's cold." "You got a hat?" "!" "Don't get it dirty." "Yeah." "He said, "Don't get it dirty."" "Let it her rip, Tatter chip, little donuts." "Whoo!" "It's like ice dancing In a bandit." "I'm skating for you." "Does it feel Like high school?" "Yeah, it does." "Look at that icy stuff." "Whoa!" "I get in the seat, I'm like, You've got to be kidding me!" "Just big hog leg up there." "Slamming through all four gears." "You're going to crash Your own car." "Look at that, There's a cop right there." "Do a donut!" "He didn't even see you." "That is awesome." "He literally didn't see that." "No, he did." "Hurry up." "He's turning on the lights." "We got to get Out of here." "That might've been a bad idea." "It worked out okay." "He just turned on his lights," "Like, you know, politically Saying, "Hey, don't do that."" "I'm saying, "He didn't see us."" "And he's like, "Yeah, I did."" "Well, we're almost Home, man." "100 more yards." "This thing is rad, dude!" "I'm buying it." "I don't care what it costs." "And it feels exactly like I'm 18 years old again." "Okay." " The drive good?" " So much for negotiating." "You can tear This guy's head off." "What do you think This should go for?" "You know, in all reality, if I Was to probably market this car," "I'd probably market it Somewhere in that $30,000 range," "Give or take." "So, how about..." " geez." " I want to go 20 grand." " You won't go that, will you?" " That's kind of though." "$12,000?" "Did I go too high?" "Golly dude, it's just you kind Of got me over a barrel, 'cause you know I want it, you Know I've been looking for it." "Well, I started out thinking." "It was going to be Somewhere in the $30,000s." "I know you guys Are good friends," "And I was looking For the car for you." "I think we could probably Work out something." "I really want this car, but it's Not actually worth $35 grand." "Dave's taking a page right out Of the old richard rawlings." "Playbook and jacking up The price, because he knows" "I've got sentimental Attachment." "But no one beats old trip At his own game." "That's why I came prepared." "You know we have Something that you want." "I'll let dennis tell you, 'cause he's the guru." "When we told you that We couldn't find this car," "You told us there was a car That you couldn't find," "If you remember the conversation Three years ago." "I do." "You said, "Well, I can't find."" "A 455 starlight black 4-speed car non-se."" "We not only found one..." "It's at the shop." " Nice." " That's right..." "That starlight black '76 trans am." "That dennis and I picked up In new york the other week?" "Dave's been looking For one of those for as long." "As I've been looking For one of these." "Now it's time to pull A little trans am ninja on dave." "How about 25 grand?" "We hang a number At 25 grand on this, 'cause I need this car." "Okay." "That sounds like A pretty fair price to me." "I can't believe you found that." "So we got the deal done..." "25 grand for my car." "Dave's going to come down And check out our '76 trans am." "All right, well, Then the next time I see you," "You are going to be In texas." " Sounds good." " That is a fair deal." "It's a great price For the car." "Could've easily Got $35 grand for it," "But he knows that's the one I've been looking for." "Whoo!" "You got tequila?" "Come on, battery!" "Come on!" "Don't do this." "Hello, I'm here." "Well, look what The cat dragged in." " How are you, sir?" " What's up, man?" " How are you doing?" " Good." "When's it Going to be done?" "We're coming Right down to the wire," "Trying to get this car Ready for my showdown." "With farmtruck and azn." "And I'm at least a day away." "From being able To fire up the engine," "So I put out an s.O.S. For anyone." "Who could come give an hour Or two to try and help." "John's working on getting The serpentine system." "I'll get the headers Put together." "And then after that, we can Get started on the gas tank?" "I can do it." "Excellent, man, hey, thanks For coming and helping us." "Yeah." "No problem." "Yeah." "High five." "I've already been burning The candle on both ends." "For several days now," "So I'm pretty much Running on fumes." "I'm gonna toss That header up there." "Can I get you to just Hold it in place for me?" " Whoa." "There." " That's it." "It's really hard knowing my bed Is just 30 feet away," "But this car has to be on A trailer in less than 48 hours." "So if I snooze right now, I'll lose." "Potentially one of the most Difficult gas tanks to install." "Looks really nice." "That stuff smells good, and I heard it's good for you, too." "But as you've no doubt Seen many times before," "I like to make things As difficult as possible," "Preferably on a deadline." "Why is everybody Standing around?" "I want to see it." "It's a big moment." " Is it gonna go down for real?" " Yeah." " We're getting real close, man." " We got a new engine wired up," "So it's time to crank her over And see what we got." "We've run the valves, We've set the timing." " Got oil in it." " I care less." "Is it going to run And are we going to win?" "We're fixing to find out." "We got a lot of money In this motor." "I need this thing to work." "What are you doing?" "Getting in." "If it takes off, I want to be safe." "You realize the wheels Ain't on the ground." "I don't care." "Of course we're going the track," "I expect the wheels To be at least this high." "It's real possible." "It's real possible." "Let's hear it." "Let's feel it." "Okay, turn the fuel on." "Fuel on." "We'll see what This thing sounds like." "Moment of truth." "Here we go." "There's only word I can think Of when I hear that motor..." "Whoo!" "That's the blue flame Of glorious win." "Now that's a fire!" "Yeah!" " That is awesome." " You know what he said?" """ "They going to lose."" "Whoo!" "Racing's easy." "We all need flames Out of our exhaust." "Golly, man!" "We're rooting for you, Gas monkey garage." "We're rooting for you." "We know you're going to beat The crap out of those guys." "I'm with team "Fast n' loud."" "This is not their first rodeo." "They've done this before." "Coming up On "Fast n' loud"..." "Aaron faces a big fail Before even leaving home..." "I need everything To fall into place," "Or I won't make it at all." "And the challenger Build faces disaster." "The answer is d..." "In addition to three wins As a celebrity," "Alfonso ribeiro also won As a pro in 2015." "I'm on "Fast n' loud"'s team." "So as much I love the 405." "And the street outlaws, Big chief, get ready, 'cause richard's Coming fast n' loud." "Get you some of that." "Whoo!" "Hey, aaron." "Give me a battle plan..." "Exactly what you want." "I'm finished." "'Cause we're making it so much Wider, then we got to take it." "So the top Of the factory fender," "Basically bring it all the way Up to that level there." "And then, like, on the back," "You see where's that spur Hanging off there?" "That can be brought Straight to the ground." "Okay." "So I was scheduled To be loading my car." "Into a trailer tomorrow, But as I sit here right now," "There's a real possibility That that won't happen." "I can leave later, But every hour I delay." "Is one less hour I have to test the car." "On the track Before I actually race." "It's a good start." "Right now, I've got webster Carving out room." "In the wheel well for those Enormous tires I'm utilizing." "I got a feeling We might have to go higher." "Maybe." "We'll find out in a second." "And as soon as I can," "I got to jump in And finish the wiring." "I can't even fire the engine Until that's done," "So I'm gonna have to do Some automotive triage." "To speed things along." "All right." "That kind of bothers me." "I just go to make clearance For big tires right now." "That's the only thing." "So it's priority one, Get 'em to go on the car." "Priority two, make it look Like they belong there." "Okay." "We're still on one." "You know?" "It will take at least 24 hours To drive out to california," "So at this point I need Everything to fall into place." "Or I won't make it at all." "So here we are At texas motorplex." "Down in ennis, texas, Fixin' to test the car." "I mean, this is it." "We're finally going to find out." "What this bad boy can do." "And we've been building this car Over the last like 25, 30 days," "So I rented the track out here At the motorplex for the day," "And we're going to make As many passes as we can." "And then we got to get The thing on the truck," "Get it stickered up, And get it out to california." "So test day." "What's the schedule?" "What do we do first?" "We'll get..." "Set the time," "And the computer's going to take Us a little while to get set." "And then we're going To bust thing off here." "In about an hour or so, and..." "God, I'm so ready." "Make the maiden voyage Down the track." "I'm real excited To see what it will do." "It's a lot of blood, sweat," "And tears getting This car here today." "I mean, we've never really built A racecar of this caliber," "But I believe We've got a really," "Really competitive car, Very, very fast." "And, to tell the tape will Be when we pass the finish line." "All right." "Well, here's The big day." "We busted our ass." "It is a car once we put The parts back on it," "But, all we got to do is Go faster than the other guy." " Let's do it." " I hope we can do it." " All right." " I'm excited." " Whoo!" " Let's do it." " Have fun." " I'm ready." "Hey, I'm going To turn on your a.C." "Thank you." " Ready to rock, brother?" " About ready, guys?" "Doesn't sound happy." "Sounds like a grumpy old man." "This point has been A long time coming." "We put a lot of man-hours In a quick amount of time." "To see this thing even Just start up," "Do a burn out, And get down the track." "I'm excited." "I'm ready." "We're going to get A couple of initial runs." "To gather some data For the computer," "And then hopefully Make a full pass." "I will say that I'm a little bit Nervous on how it's going to go." "We really have no idea what's Going to happen with this car." "When we first let off The trans break and hit the gas." "So anything can happen." "Honestly, as long the car Goes straight, I can't complain." " All right, you ready?" " Lock me up." " Yeah!" " So good!" "We just did, you know, Our first test burn out." "Got the car down the truck About 100 yards or so." "It's not tracking right." "My steering wheel's Like this." "It's all over the place." "Alex said the car Felt pretty good." "Except for the steering's Way off," "So we're reclocking The steering," "And then we'll start Making some more passes." "It's a cheap-ass steering wheel." "That's exactly what it is." "I don't know a whole lot About drag racing," "But I'm pretty sure Going straight's part of it." "We're good." "Power on." "The more that you test, the More car's going to be set up," "And the faster That car's going to be." " What happened there?" " It's just hot." "I mean, we just got to Back the car down." "We got way too much Power right now." "We've got a lot of power, So this is why we're here." "All these are normal things That we have to work through," "Especially when this is The first race with a new car." "I can't watch anymore." "I mean, I'm not a professional racer..." "That's not what I do, I'm the money guy..." "And I don't need to be Standing around," "Hovering around, and worrying About every single thing." "This is a real deal racecar." "I'll leave it to the experts." "They know what's at stake." "Get back to the shop." "Try to make some money To pay for all this." "I'm sure we can handle it." " Don't be scared." " I ain't scared." " It's just money, man." " Yeah." "Throughout the day, It's a big learning curve." "Things have been A little bit disappointing." "Every time we fix one problem, We find another." "But we got to keep pushing." "Go." "This is going to be The last pass of the day." "This is our last shot To get some good data." "Coming up on "Fast n' loud"..." "The monkeys must recover From a test track disaster..." "No." "No, he had to do that." "And richard tallies The damage back at the shop." "We could have A big problem." "All these street outlaw Guys have their nicknames." "Big chief..." "Don't think he's that big." "Murder nova... don't think He's ever murdered anybody." "Charles kind of already Got one." "It's sleaze." "That's what we call him, so it Would be like super sleaze," "Tough sleaze, Something like that." "Tony... slowpoke rodriguez, 'cause that dude moves." "Super slow." "Mike coy... maybe The balded wonder or something, 'cause that's really What he's got going on." "Jeremy..." "I'd probably call him dopey." "No." "He had to do that." "It's all right." "We'll have To work on it tomorrow." " He's okay." " Yeah." "Gosh, damn it!" "I get to work on it tomorrow Now, brandon." "I'm fine." "Very low impact." "It didn't hit..." "I didn't even see you Burn off good before you..." " I saw you get..." " Yeah, it didn't..." "It didn't hit hard." "Dude, it just..." "It was perfectly straight," "And it just..." "Dude, I don't know What happened." "It just totally Just spun around." "Man, I just can't Even believe this." "I never hit a wall In my life." "This just absolutely sucks." "Let's see if we can Push it forward here." "Let's see what we got." "It was just An absolute accident." "This is something That happens in racing." "I hate it for everybody." "Boy, this is A pile of." "Yeah, it broke the mount On that side over there." " Did it?" " Yep, it just..." "The whole bar is just bunked Like this, hung over." "It sounds like The car shifted right when alex." "Hit the smooth part Of the track." "And from there on, It was like skating on ice." "The damaged caused by the wall Shifted the whole rear end over." "And what that means is the point." "Where the rear end's attached." "Actually broke up, So it kind of flopped over." "All we can do is Pull the car off the wall." "And kind of check out What's going on with it," "See if it's even possible To get it up on the trailer." "Probably the most damage Actually is right here." "It caved the whole quarter panel In right here." "So when it hit, It shoved the door forward," "Which caused it To pop up right here." "Which caused it To jump out from inside." "Of the fender right here." "This is not the setback We needed." "We were on track, and now," "Who knows how much damage We're going to have to fix." "Who knows it we'll Even make the race." "I don't know if this Is going to work out." "That's a lot of work." "I mean, It's just ridiculous." "We won't really know anything." "Until we start Pulling panels off," "How much actual mechanical Failures happened." "It's just A really big disappointment." "You know what I mean?" "Nobody Wants to see our car wrecked." "Dude, you could really tell, Like, right about here." "Is where it just Started to veer off." "I mean, I mean this is, I guess, The point of no return." "We're going to try to ascertain, You know," "How much damage was Actually done to the car." "There's a few mechanical things That I saw maybe broke." "Honestly, I'm actually Glad you're okay." "It could've been a lot worse." "At this point, I'm just hoping That everything's gonna be okay." "As soon as we get back To the shop, you know?" "This car has to be done For that race." "So what do you think Richard's going to think?" "Man." "I'm so nervous." "I know, right?" "Sitting in the car Going, "My god."" "I know." "Seriously." "So it's early morning And we got to leave." "For california really soon, And the car's wrecked." "A lot of yellow on there." "Yeah, that..." "Courtesy of that wall." "It looks like It's a little more." "Than cosmetics to me." "I've got some marks on the tires And the wheel itself." "Did we hurt the rear end?" "Broke the mount that holds The rear end in place." "It's not locating The rear end anymore." "Charles showed me where The rear end had come unhinged," "So we could have a big problem." "If we got a twisted frame Or something like that," "It's unfixable in our timeframe." "We could just be out." "What's the quick fix?" "Just bang it out?" "Well, we could try Banging it out," "But I would also call and see If they got a quarter available." "I don't think we have time To worry about a quarter," "And I don't really give A what this car." "Looks like as long as it Goes down the track fast." "This is a race, Not a beauty contest." "Amen." "It may be faster To put a quarter on it." "Let's just check Availability on one." "Find a quarter, find a solution, Beat it out, I don't care." "We got to be at the track In 48 hours." "Why can't he wreck His own car, not mine?" "Let's get this blown apart And figure it out." "Okay." "Pbbbbht!" "Pbht!" "Check it out." "We went with coy's plan," "And right away we got ourselves A fresh quarter panel in." "We could've beat The quarter panel out," "But then we would've Had to body work it." "Or it would've Just looked like crap." "Luckily we were able to get The quarter panel quick." "And get it on pretty quick." "This part doesn't Suck so bad anymore." "My god, it got heavy." "Mike and tony got the quarter Panel on really quickly," " which helps us a lot." " Push, tony." "I am." "I need a whip." "Screw you." "People never listen to me." "Now we can get the car Over to the mechanic side." "So we can button up All the loose ends." "We need to get The car up in the air." "So we can get rid of the tire That hit the wall." "Take this out and take a look." "And see if it's straight Or bent or whatever else." "If by chance this wheel's bent, You know," "We've got one day to find one, Which is next to impossible." "So right now, Little stressful time." "Well, that sucks." "See it really good On the side wall." " Yeah." " Wah, wah, wah, wah." "It didn't take long." "Spinning that wheel," "You can see how It's just wobbling." "The wheel's bent." "It's got to be replaced." "Can't go down track With a wobbly wheel." "I've already made a phone call." "We got a wheel Being located right now." "If we have to have it Shipped to california," "That's what we'll do." "It'll be in california." "All right, did we figure out Everything that we need to fix?" "We got to order another wheel." "When it hit the wall, It obviously bent that." " Okay." " Axle's good." "The rear end housing..." "We've got to weld The reinforcement." "Back to hold it in place." "But other than that," "Everything's coming Together real nice." "All right, so how long Before I can have this thing," "Ready to go on a trailer?" " Probably late tomorrow." " Does that work?" "Yeah." "I mean, It's gonna have to work." "We don't have any choice." "Well, let's get it loaded." "I don't think We're going to end up." "With a real beautiful car At the track," "But as long as we win, That's all that matters." "Are we going to make it?" "Yeah." "Are we going to be able to race?" "I don't know." "But I damn sure ain't Just gonna not show up." " You're in." " Wheel the truck." "See you in california, Brother." "Busted our ass To get this car done," "And I just hope It's gonna be enough." "So right now, we don't Have a full test," "And we've got to get it All the way out to california." "We're going to have A little bit of test time there." "Hopefully that'll prove up, but, It's anybody's race now."
