Roadkill (2012–2020): Season 1, Episode 9 - Surviving HOT ROD Drag Week! - full transcript

On this episode of Roadkill, HOT RODs David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan hit the road with 500 of their friends for Drag Week. Its the most brutal test anywhere of real drag-racing, ...

- On this special episode of Road Kill,

we're going on a drag racing road trip

with 500 of our friends.

(car engine)

(squealing tires)

(rock music)

- This is Road Kill,
which is the show where

normally we are out there destroying

ourselves for your entertainment,

this time, we're going to force other guys

to wreck themselves.



It's Hot Rod Drag Week,
where we take 180 drag cars,

some of them with like 2,500 horsepower,

we make them run five
drag strips in five days

and drive 1,400 miles.

There is major wreckage involved.

- I don't know why anybody listens to us.

I wouldn't have agreed to that.

- And they're doing it all for a jacket.

- Suckers.

- Watch these chumps.

(car engine)

(upbeat music)

- This is Tulsa, Oklahoma, day one.

Registration and class
inspection and test and tune.



- [Voiceover] Drag Week
started claiming victims

before we even started racing.

I was interviewing Bob
Larson about a broken axle

on his car when I heard an awful noise.

- You done broke that right in half.

(engine rumbling)

I heard a turbo car
spooling up for a launch

and then an ugly noise.

- [Voiceover] We ran
over to find Doug Klein's

Camaro smashed.

Luckily, the only thing really
damaged was Doug's pride.

The sheet metal and front suspension

took the brunt of the
hit, but he was fine.

The cause of the accident was a

leaking intercooler reservoir that

threw water on the track
in front of his rear tires.

It cast a small cloud over the event

because we really hadn't
even started racing yet.

(car engine rumbling)

- [Voiceover] This is Tulsa Raceway Park

where we're going to start
and end Drag Week this year.

We stopped here last year and the traction

was just so killer that
we had to come back.

(engine roaring)

- [Voiceover] Larry
Larson has won Drag Week

four times in his '66 Nova,
so he knows what he's doing.

It'll be real interesting to see if he can

stay ahead of the pack this year.

(engine roaring)

- [Voiceover] Wow, Larry just ran a 6.94,

the quickest pass he's ever run,

and the quickest pass anyone's ever done

at Hot Rod Drag Week.

- The '55 Chevy over
there in the right lane,

the guy that owns it built it in 1970.

Made his own straight axle for it.

It's been in moth balls ever since.

His kid just talked him
into dragging it out

and they're doing Drag Week together

for the first time ever.

(engine roaring)

I forgot about that.

The one thing his kid asked him to change

was the clutch 'cause it's 30 years old.

Dad didn't change it.

That's what I smell right now.

Bye bye clutch.

- [Voiceover] Todd Maschmeier
has won the modified

Power Adder class before
in his 1968 Camaro

and he's back again with Travis Gilpin

behind the wheel to defend the title.

(engines roaring)

- [Voiceover] Oh, yeah,
look at the wagon go!

- The Camaro went 7.79 at 179,

that station wagon just
went 8.37, one turbo.

- [Voiceover] This is Jeff
Lutz and his twin turbo '57

Chevy and he's run Drag
Week with us for a few years

and that's what's going
to give him an edge here.

Not only is the car capable of the ET's

he needs to run to catch
up with Larry Larson,

but he knows what it's
like out there on the road.

He is going to be prepared for anything.

(engine revving)

Lutz showed us what he's
got with a 7.16 at 212

miles an hour, the fastest mile an hour

we've ever seen at Drag Week.

We'll see if he can hold
this thing together.

- [Voiceover] Repairs were
already underway in the pits

as racing came to an end on day one.

We spotted Jeff Lutz getting his

welder out of his trailer to
help a few other competitors.

(welding machine rumbles)

We were just about to leave.

Everybody's tired, hot, hungry,

when Jeff Lutz fired up his '57 Chevy

and heard something he didn't like.

Jacked up the car, crawled under it,

found a broken torque converter bolt.

Doesn't have the bolt,
but he's going to limp it

to the next track with five out of six.

Five out of six ain't bad.

It's four P.M., we've been here since

about eight in the morning.

This is the mess that happens
in the pits afterwards

as everybody packs everything they've got

to go drag racing into a little trailer.

Racing's done, we're heading for Texas.

- [Voiceover] We left Tulsa and headed

to the nearest gas station.

And wouldn't you know it,

after a couple of unlimited
racers topped off their tanks,

the station ran out of gas.

- So the wagon's overheating.

So they bought a garden sprayer,
filled it up full of water.

The passenger's going to pump
the thing while they drive

and a little hose is going to shoot water

at the front of their radiator.

Hopefully to cool it off
while they're driving.

When that doesn't work,
they'll take the hood off

like I told them to.

(engine rumbling)

- [Voiceover] 14 hundred miles doesn't

seem like that big of a
deal for a regular car,

but you put a serious
street strip car in traffic

and suddenly overheating
becomes a real issue.

Not 20 miles outside
of Tulsa, we found cars

dropping like flies, overheated
on the side of the road

in 90 degree temperatures.

- It's 8:40 at night,
we've been on the road

maybe five, six hours.

We've gone a total of 40 miles.

We just stopped under an overpass

and found Schroeder and
his buddy from Canada

and their '66 'vette
on the side of the road

with a dead battery.

So, they're fixing that right now

while I'm sitting here taking
pictures of their misery.

At the rate we're going,
we're going to get

to the track tomorrow when it opens

and we're probably not sleeping tonight.

- We've got some beers here,
so we need just ice. (laughs)

- [Voiceover] Another
20 miles down the road,

another broken car.

This time it's Todd Maschmeier.

He hit the bridge with his car,

took out the crossmember to the motor,

smashed the oil pan, the transmission pan.

Now he's got a welder to fix it.

(rock music playing)

- [Voiceover] Before the night was over,

we caught up with Shawn
Fink and Brian Macy

who were having a big of
charging system issues

with their panel wagon.

- That's our new alternator.

It kind of keeps up until
you go slow and then

not so good, but hopefully
we make it through.

- [Voiceover] And by the way,
the hood was off the car.

(rock music)

- [Voiceover] Day two of Hot Rod Drag Week

finds us in Ennis, Texas
at Texas Motorplex.

(engines roaring)

There was a new class this year called

Super Street Power Adder and
what's interesting about it

is that we make the small
blocks and the big blocks

run together.

Rick Prospero's got the '65 Nova wagon

with a turbo big block
and Tim Reed brought

back his '79 Pinto

that has a turbo LSX GM

small block in it.

Both of these cars are
capable of running 7.90's.

- [Voiceover] Tim Reed
has gone as fast as 8.005

here at Drag Week in his '79 Pinto.

His goal is to get into the sevens.

He is that close, so we came
over to give him an interview

and his dad Al is polishing the wheel

and the steering doesn't look great.

What's happening?

- (laughs) Well, Sunday we broke the uh...

He did a big wheelie and broke the rack

so we've been fighting it
the last couple of days.

- [Mike] He broke the oil pan too, huh?

- And broke the oil pan.

- [Mike] Alright, so I imagine Tim's off

trying to get some steering parts?

- Yeah, yeah, he's at the
O'Reilly's getting the parts.

- [Mike] Are you guys going to make

another hit on it today?

- Yeah, we're going to
try to make two more hits.

The wax job I'm putting on it, you know,

is going to make it a little slicker.

So that ought to get that half a second.

- [Mike] Oh, yeah, that's
like race stickers.

That's good for ten or 20
horsepower right there.

Awesome, alright, well, good luck.

- Hey, thank you man.

- We'll see you later.

(engine roaring)

- [Voiceover] Tim Reed
finally got his Pinto

into the seven's with a 7.99 second pass

and then Rick Perspero
answered with his own

seven second pass, A 7.93.

(engines roaring)

The question is, can Rick keep it together

for the rest of Drag Week?

Dodge Ram, single turbo on a Viper motor

went 9.09 at 148 yesterday.

Today, not so good.

What happened fellas?

- Blew a head gasket.

- [Mike] Blew a head gasket?

What did you do, up the boost some more or

was it just time for it to go?

- It was the same, I just
think it was time for it to go

so it's got about 50 dyno pulls in it and,

but we just, I mean, we
got a dyno last week and

so it's fresh, very fresh combination.

- [Mike] Cool, did you guys find a gasket

to replace it?

- [Dominique] Yes, sir.

- [Mike] Cool, going to
make another hit today

or just fix it and hit the road?

- If we can get back on
the road, I'd be happy.

- [Man] Yeah.

- [Mike] Alright, cool, good luck guys.

[Voiceover] What they thought was just

a blown head gasket turned
out to be a torched head

and block and since V10 parts
are hard to come by in Tulsa,

the Dodge was out.

- Dad's bringing his son an
axle for his eight and 3/4

Dodge rear end.

Going in his old Ram pickup.

How's that for service?

So did you guys get to make a lap today?

- Made one, but it was
about two seconds off

due to the set backs.

- [Mike] So how quick can you guys do this

'cause it looks like
you've done it before.

- [Man] Hopefully, we'll be
done here in about 20 minutes.

- [Mike] 20 minutes for
an axle change, I like it.

Clock's ticking, go for it.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...

How much nitrous?

- [Man] Oh 150 shot, correct?

- [Mike] 150 shot?

That's a crappy axle if
I ever saw one. (laughs)

Nice work, Dodge.

Call it experience, call it luck,

call it being a general bad ass,

but Larry Larson makes this look easy.

We just talked to him and found out

he had all kinds of problems himself.

Pulled over by the cops, got lost,

left the hotel this
morning, got a flat tire.

And then on his first hit, broke a sprag

in his Lenco transmission, so
he's got some repairs to make

and he's definitely
got to make another run

'cause he knows everybody
else is gunning for him.

(engine roaring)

- [Voiceover] Despite last
night's roadside troubles,

Maschmeier's Camaro
goes 7.68 at a buck 81.

- We're standing here with Todd Maschmeier

and Travis Gilpin after
your pretty much epic pass.

Last night, this car was
strewn out all over the highway

like a yardsale, what happened?

- We were outside of
Muskogee and hit a big bump

in the road and knocked
the crossmember out

and knocked a big hole
in the transmission pan.

Some very nice people come to save the day

and rescued us.

Brought a welder and a generator

and we sit there for about
two and a half, three hours

and got it fixed.

Got back on the road,
struggled to get here,

got, well, we didn't even
go to sleep last night.

- What did it go, 4.99 to half track?

- 4.99 to the eight, yep.

Went 1.2864 which is our
best sixty foot too, so.

- So, hit the road now,
make it to the next stop?

- That'll be it.

- That's the plan.

- Alright, good luck fellas.

- Thank you, man.
- Thanks.

- [Voiceover] In pro
street naturally aspirated,

we've got two time winner Doc McEntire

coming back with his '68 Camaro.

Naturally aspirated, this
car has almost run an eight

and that's his goal for this week.

(engine roaring)

- [Announcer] 121 at the
eighth mile, McEntire

get it flat footed goes
8.92 and a three, baby.

- Congratulations, man.

- Thank you.

- How did the pass feel?

- Beautiful, 1.23 and a sixty.

- Nice.

You picked up a whole bunch.

- You can't believe the timing curve

I built for that to run that.

- [Mike] Really? It's Aggressive?

- [Doc] No
- [Mike] Soft?

- [Doc] Soft

- [Mike] And it didn't
blow the tires off finally.

- [Doc] Yep, it was perfect.

- [Mike] Wow, less is more, nice.

It's about time you did your job.

(laughing)

You going to hit the road or?

- [Doc] Yeah, I'm done, man.

- [Mike] Alright

- Going to nurse it along, get to Friday

and see if I can get that third jacket.

- [Mike] Awesome.

- [Voiceover] With the rest of the class

more than a second off his pace,

all Doc McEntire's got to do now

is finish Drag Week and he'll take the win

in pro street naturally aspirated.

- Day two of Drag Week kicked off

with my favorite Canadian, Dave Schroeder.

You've been here before with a '55 Chevy

looking like the two lane black top car,

I loved it.

This thing off the trailer was an animal.

How quick did you go on day one?

- Yeah, day one we went 7.32 at 195.

I was really thrilled about.

And that was with two stages and

it's let a lot more in it.

- [Voiceover] Schroeder and Ens Corvette

made the fastest nitrous pass

in the history of Drag Week.

A 7.32 on day one, we lost them on day two

after battery failures and overheating

took the car out.

- [Voiceover] This is Elana.

She's a new staff member on Hot Rod.

And we figured that her first Drag Week

should be trial by fire,

so we threw her in the car with this guy.

- It's day two, we're
here at Texas Motorplex

and I'm about to go for a ride with Randy.

Randy, what are we riding in?

- My '91 Mustang with twin turbos.

- And this little green
car's kind of quick.

- Yeah, it's run as fast as 8.49 at 164.

- Does it have air conditioning?

- Uh, yeah, you roll down the windows

and you go 40 miles an hour
and the air conditions you.

- It's going to be a long drive.

(bouncy music)

(laughing)

- So wild.

- You want to go 1182?

- Yeah, sorry, I just missed the turn.

I'm a lousy navigator.

(twangy music)

- My girl can ride faster than you.

I'm trying to talk her into
marrying me she's really cool.

(laughs)

- I'm living in two lane black top.

- You know what always upsets me though

when I go through most
of these school zones?

- What? There's no kids?

- Yeah, it's like, okay,
show me what I can kill.

(record squealing)

- You're not supposed to kill the kids.

That's the whole point of the school zone.

People totally frown on that.

- Kids should be eaten, not heard.

(laughing)

- [Voiceover] We're on the road

coming out of Ennis, Texas, The Motorplex,

and we spotted this
little dinky drag strip

that we had to check out.

Cedar Creek Dragway,
middle of nowhere Texas.

This is America.

- [Voiceover] Today we're
cruising with Brian Lohnes

who's been a friend of
mine for a long time

he's out announcer for Drag Week.

He's a hard core drag racing historian

so it didn't take much for me
to convince him to pull over

at this cool old drag strip
in the middle of nowhere.

It's one of the last,
or maybe not the last,

it's one of the Grassroots,
outlaw, non-sanctioned

drag strips around and
it's been here 50 years.

The same over here has owned it for 30

and it's just got so much character.

I mean the burn out box is worn deep,

the place has been around so long.

But it's all concrete
and nice wall, nice tree,

they're gluing the
place, got a nice tower.

This is really Grassroots drag racing.

We wouldn't have Drag Week
if it weren't for guys

sort of finding their way
at little tracks like this.

- [Brian] So it was a high speed

game of chicken, essentially?

(laughing)

- This right here was
the original drag strip.

You can see the lines on it and such.

And this is the new one
they put in in 1986.

- The tree was on that
concrete block up there.

- Oh, I see the block yeah, look at that.

- Yeah, the pole sticking up.

- [David] Here, check this out.

So this is the center block
where the Christmas tree

used to slide in, you just drop them in

so they can take them out later.

That's cool.

- To think that two guys ran
jet dragsters down this thing

in the threes--

- That wide.

- Yeah.

- Side by side and this is about as wide

as a freeway lane in L.A.

(laughing)

- [Voiceover] What could be better

than having a junkyard on
the side of the drag strip?

That's essentially what this
guy's got going on here.

He's got a big collection
of '50's cars and

some worthless stuff, but
inside he had a TransAm,

this early Camaro, a
Tri-Five Chevy, good stuff.

We got to hit it, onto Louisiana.

(upbeat music)

- [David] 12 hundred bucks?

Get out, that is a '64-5ish
Nova for 12 hundred bucks

or trade, how much is that camera worth?

Chevy II 100, it's the low
end one, it's pretty rusty.

Good looking from afar
but far from good looking.

- [Voiceover] Keith
Harrison's a Drag Week veteran

but this is his first
time with a '55 Chevy

running in our gasser class.

Unfortunately, he was
fighting fuel pump problems.

And this is Luther
Duncan in a '70 Maverick

with an old school small
block and a four speed.

The cool thing here is
that the engine was built

by Eddie Miller who is a
past Drag Week champion.

(engine roaring)

(upbeat music)

- [Voiceover] Now we're at
Thunder Road in Louisiana.

A lot of people thought
this was going to be

the sketchy track, the
groove is really narrow.

Guys have been hooking up pretty good.

The surprise though, is Larry Larson.

He just ran like an
8.50 banging and farting

all the way down the track.

Sometimes I wonder if he
does that for the show.

That's what he did yesterday
and then he pulls it off

at the last second and puts down a number

that keeps him just in the lead.

Makes good drama for us.

(engine roaring)

- [Announcer] He's going to the six,

it's down to the eight mile,
166, Jeff Lutz goes out.

Seven flat on the two.

- We just finished up,
we went 7.00 at 212.

We're headed to Memphis early.

Drag Week, 2012, here we come.

(honking)

- [Voiceover] Maschmeier's
bad luck continued

when the 605 Chevy into
the hood of the Camaro

ate a cam and a set of lifters
the night before running.

(motor roaring)

He still went 8.11 at
a buck 74 in Gilliam.

- [Voiceover] Contrary to popular belief,

winning Drag Week is not about averaging

the lowest ET in your class,
it's about beating the road.

Breakdowns are the norm,
they're not the exception

to the rule and we're
cruising down the road here

and just saw Vince and
his Firebird laid up here

with a bunch of broken valve springs.

As per usual, a bunch of
other competitors stopped.

They're helping him out, they'll
get him back on the road.

One of the major hurdles of Drag Week

is getting everything you need
from one track to the next

and so guys are hauling little trailers.

Eric Yoast's team, they
built their own trailer

and it's nice, man, this is aluminum,

bead rolled, TIG welded.

What do we got going on here?

- Basically, we got everything
we need on the trip.

If we happen to break anything,

I got everything to rebuild
an entire transmission,

converter, got our pit bikes
if we need to ride around,

cooler full of ice.
- [Mike] Keg?

- [Man] Yeah.
- [Mike] Nice touch.

- [Man] Yeah.

- How much do you think
you've got into this thing?

- 150 bucks.

(laughs)

- PT Cruiser axle is all we paid for

and the rest is just scrap that some

race teams have donated over the years.

- [Mike] I love the wheels.

Makes a good hood holder
for an overheating car.

You could hide from the
police inside of here.

I mean, if you needed to,
I'm not saying you need to.

- Whatever you like to do.

- We're broke down on
the side of the road,

but we've got the best trailer ever

and some pretty damn cold
beer so everything's alright.

(horn honking)

(twangy music)

- [Voiceover] In day four, we're at

Memphis International Raceway.

(engine roaring)

(tires squealing)

Memphis isn't kind to Lutz or Larson.

They're both having trouble

getting their cars down the racetrack.

- Struck a rocker on 'em.

Must have broke it on the first hit

and that's why it slowed
down a little bit.

(sputtering)

- [Announcer] Oh, he lifted at 300 feet.

- [Voiceover] After an aborted attempt

at making a run down the drag strip,

Larry ripped apart his rear end

to find a smashed ring and pinion.

- Ooh, yeah, pieces.

(drilling)

- [Voiceover] The scramble
was on to find spare parts,

not to make another pass at Memphis,

but to get back to Tulsa
and make his last pass

on day five of Drag Week.

When we caught up with Todd
Maschmeier and Travis Gilpin,

neither guy had slept more than four hours

during all of Drag Week.

They ended up limping the Camaro

into Memphis, Tennessee on six cylinders.

The duo had every intention
of hitting the six cylinder

powered Camaro with
three stages of nitrous

to try and hold their
lead over Brian Goldstone,

but when the car wouldn't do a burnout

in the water box, they knew
they had to call it quits.

They broke the beam and got themselves

a 20 second ET and that was
it for them at Drag Week.

- It looked like you guys
intended to make a lap.

- Yeah.

- And then what changed?

- It wouldn't do a burnout.

Our intent was to make a lap
and if it blew up, it blew up

and whatever we were on our way to camp,

out to comp to pick up a can of

lifters and put it together
tonight and drive, but...

- [Mike] You haven't slept in four days.

- We got three hours of
sleep, two nights ago.

Like I said, hitting the
bridge that first night...

It put everything behind.

There's all kinds of
bearings and roller tips

in the bottom of that pan right now.

- [Mike] Playing ping pong.

- Mhm.

- That's never good.

- I'm sure we'll be back next year.

Thank you, Mike.
- [Mike] Thank you.

(engine roaring)

- [Voiceover] Jeff Lutz
7.14 pass was enough

to give him a one
hundredth of a second lead

heading back to Tulsa, so
I decided to hop in his '57

Chevy and find out what was on his mind

as he headed into the home
stretch with the lead.

(twangy music)

- [Mike] We just left Memphis
International Raceway.

Not more than ten miles
ago, we heard a chirp,

just didn't sound right,
he didn't like it.

I didn't like that he didn't like it,

so we pulled over to
find out what's going on.

He thinks we might have a broken lifter

which, that's not good because
we've got 400 miles to go.

And I think he's got lifters,

but we don't have another camshaft so

this is going to get
interesting right now.

(drill running)

- Oh.

- [Mike] Wow, Jeff Lutz just
saved his engine from disaster.

That noise he was hearing
as we were driving

was at least this lifter, maybe
more, that stopped rolling.

This was basically
skidding along on the lobe

of the camshaft wearing the
roller and the camshaft out.

And once you do that, metal
goes through the motor,

parts play ping pong, bad things happen,

and he doesn't get to Tulsa tomorrow to

try to win this thing, so,
he's got a spare set of these

and hopefully a new camshaft
waiting for him in Tulsa.

And he'll get this thing
bandaged up and we'll

drive 415 miles tonight and make it there.

(engine rumbling)

- [Mike] Wow.

We're about an hour from Tulsa, we're...

It's been raining and
the road is super wet

and these giant meats in the
back are not happy about it.

We are literally just skating
all over the road right now

so we pulled over, took a little break.

We're going to crawl right now,

maybe like ten miles an hour tops

so we can keep making some time.

Oh, wow, it's cold.

Almost made it to the last check point

before the last day, not
quite, the rain stopped us so

going to crash here in
the car for the night

and hit the road in the morning.

We're done for tonight.

- [Voiceover] Day five and
we're back where we started,

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

It's raining here today and,
if it doesn't dry up soon,

we're just not sure if we're going

to get this race done or not.

- Alright, everybody, listen
up, in about 30 seconds

we have the announcement on
the fate of the event coming

and yeah, give us 30 seconds.

Well, unfortunately, as you can tell,

the weather has been junk today

and it's not looking like
it's going to get much better

before tomorrow afternoon,

so I'm going to dodge the flying fruit

when I tell everybody
that this thing is done.

The event has been ended, we're--

- [David] What are you saying?

- What?

- [Mike] No, no, no, not ended.

- Okay, Brian just completely choked.

(laughs)

- [Brian] You said I was pulling the plug.

- Nope. Here's the deal.

I'm standing here right now thinking

you know what, we need to race this thing.

There's a ten percent chance of rain

at noon tomorrow, we're going to run.

(crowd cheering)

- We're back at Tulsa here today,

which is Saturday and it's not raining yet

and so we're doing our best we can

to get all these guys down the track.

(engine roaring)

- [Mike] Tommy here,
in his unlimited class

'57 Chevy, found out the hard way

there was plenty of traction
on that racetrack right now.

What happened Tommy?

- We had tuned up the car
to make a really good pass,

try to get the car to the H today

and whenever I let go of the trans brake,

it came up pretty hard
and it was on a good pass

and then it came down and whenever it did,

it broke both front shocks on the car.

- [Mike] I imagine you'll fix that up

and be back next year.

- We'll fix it, we'll
probably bring the '57 back

and possibly bring a second car, too.

- Thank you, I'll see you further down.

- Alright.

- [Voiceover] Perspero
got in line to make a pass

right in front of Tim Reed,

but about 300 feet into the run,

something definitely went wrong.

- Well, we hurt the
transmission on that last pass.

Sounded like second gear went bad,

so we had our spare from
the very first time,

we're sticking it back in right now.

- Tim just ran a 7.94, he
needs a 7.91 to beat us,

so that's why we want to
make one more bonsai pass

to see if we can get it
down into the sevens again.

- We are less than one
hundredth apart right now,

so we put nitrous on it about an hour ago

and we're going to go out and
spray it and see what happens.

- [Voiceover] Perspero
pulled off a miracle

getting his Powerglide back
together and in the car

to make another pass, but
he did not go any faster

than his previous run.

Tim Reed's gamble of
adding nitrous to turbos

didn't pay off.

- Ended up blowing the
spark out about 500 feet.

I'll be back next year.

- [Voiceover] In the end,
Larry Larson came from behind

to beat Jeff Lutz by less
than one hundredth of a second

and earned his fifth consecutive
unlimited class title.

His '66 Nova is Hot Rod Magazine's

fastest street care in America.

Drag Week is an anomaly.

We don't give you a dime
if you win this event.

All you get is a jacket
and the pride that comes

with having a seriously fast street car.

Join us next month for
another episode of Road Kill

and watch Freiburger
and I destroy ourselves

for your entertainment.

- Does Goose throw a blender?
- Yeah.

- Let's make some margaritas.

- Mix us up a margarita.

- What are we waiting on?

(laughter)

- [Man] Oh, my god, he
went into the center lane.
