Roadkill (2012–2020): Season 7, Episode 7 - Roadkill - full transcript

There's big action as David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan scheme some chaos in hot-rodded pickups. They invite Steve Dulcich from Roadkill Garage as well as Lucky Costa and Tony Angelo from ...

- This time on Roadkill, we've got

all your favorite muscle
trucks in one place

and we're going to
shoot 'em out right now.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

- Come on!

(engines accelerating)

- Yeah, beat it like it owes him money.

(engine revving)

(upbeat music)

(engine accelerating)

- [Freiburger] This is a special
extra episode of Roadkill.



It's going to be the muscle truck showdown

with five of the most
famous trucks that we've got

and we brought out five dudes.

We're going to have a whole
bunch of fun in two days

just screwing around on
dirt and on pavement.

We're going to have autocross, rallycross,

burnout distance, all of that stuff.

Me, I brought out my
1967 Chevy V10 Longbed.

You saw this truck in
episode 27 of Roadkill Garage

where me and Dulcich put in
a 600 horsepower big block.

The only thing that's
changed about it since then

is I added a eaten true track in the back,

so it's not got two-wheel appeal.

No more one-leggers for me
because if nothing else,



I am going to in the burnouts
for distance contest.

But how about these guys?

Let's have a look at what they brought.

- So the geniuses here at Roadkill

decided that I'm the lucky guy that gets

to drive the OG muscle
truck, the Roadkill 74 C10.

You have seen this thing
in episode 18, episode 28.

It's been in the sand.

The engine's been in a jetboat.

You've got an LS6 under the
hood, a Tor 100 behind that

and I don't even know what gear's in it.

It's got caltracks on the rear suspension,

lower lead springs.

The front's been lowered
with CPP performance.

She's a looker and she's also a runner.

We know this thing does burnouts better

than anything else here.

Will it work here on the dirt auto cross?

I have no idea, but I'm going to find out.

- So what I've got to drive this episode

is the Hotrod garage 67 C10
Shortbeck inversion that we did.

This is an awesome handling truck.

It's got the Q81 full
truck arm suspension kit,

coil overs, tubular arm shocks.

Everything is dialed,
but what it doesn't have

is really any horsepower.

It's powered by a GM
crate motor from the 80s,

making like 200 horsepower.

So, what I'm thinking is, these guys

will annihilate me in the burnout contest

and probably in the straights,

but I bet I can catch them in the turns.

- So, I lucked out.

I get to drive the Crownhick.

This is pretty much a
bone-stock police car

with the exception of the super charger

we slipped under the hood.

It's relatively stock chasse.

It's got cop tires, cop brakes, cop motor,

cop transmission, cop rear deferential.

It's got all bill and suspension
components in the back.

66 F100 truck body on it.

I think that should
give us pretty even par

for walking on top of everybody.

What do you think?

- This is my 1974 D100.

I found this beauty in the
wrecking yard in Bakersfield.

I bought the truck and then

in episode 15 of Roadkill
Garage, we built it,

took it to the Ziptide Drags in Tuson

and I raced Freiburger
in his 74 muscle truck.

We've got a 408 in it now.

It makes about 550
horspower, 550 foot pounds.

I still have that junk transmission,

but that doesn't matter

because I'm going to
dominate today on dirt

and tomorrow, I'm going
to kick butt on asphalt.

- [Freiburger] Now, we're
going into our first event

in the muscle truck
shootout, the rally cross,

right here at Glen Helen Raceway.

In standard roadkill style,
there is no practice,

no warmup, and plenty of excuses.

We're all going to go into the
track blind and get two laps.

We're going to average them together

to find out who has the fastest time

and then we're going to
judge each competitor

based on style as well.

So we brought a zillion cones out here

and pretty much randomly set up a course

with a big sweeping turn, going

into a couple tight little
S's, a straightaway,

a right hairpin, and then a slalam,

and after another hairpin
and a little bumo,

we run right back towards the stop box,

which is set up to test our sliding

parallel parking prowess for the finish.

- I can't believe how lucky I am

because I drew the long straw.

That means I get to go first

and I can assure you that I'm
going to be in first place

in this competition, at
least for the first round.

- This'll be the very first round

of rallycross with Dulcich in the MMT.

(horn sounds)

- [Freiburger] Oh, no restraint.

Oh, tire blaze.

- [Tony] Put it in gear dude.

- [Freiburger] Oh boy, oh boy.

- He's driving slow.
- Oh!

- [Finnegan] Oh, he loops it.

It's all over.

- [Finnegan] Not very smooth.

- [Freiburger] He's still going to be

number one right now though.

- [Finnegan] He's in first place.

- [Tony] He's doing alright.

Look, that thing has 500 horsepower,

got some nobby-ish tires.

- [Freiburger] A Detroit locker.

- [Tony] And a locker in it.

And short wheel base.

Coming back around.
- The truck looks great.

(rock music)

Oh!

- Good job.
- Wow, nice.

Pretty impressive.

- Oh no.

- That's a straightaway.
- I think he's completely

lost the plause.

(laughing)

- Going back for more cones.

- [Freiburger] Are you ready?

In the mark.

Did you get lost or just
like, screw the pooch?

- Oh, I think I can do better.

- [Freiburger] You think so?

- Yeah, that was a practice run guys.

- You look like Ernie McCraken right now

with that hair dude.

Let's go bowling.

- Wow, man.

That just got too wild.

I was spinning the wheels like crazy

and the truck was doing donuts.

I'm going to focus on control this time.

- Steve's in first place right now, right?

- Right now, yeah.

- Spinning hard.
- Good strategy.

- [Tony] Blaring it like
smoke, the jug is out.

When the smoke cleared-

- He's still in first place.
- Yeah, cause we parked.

- He's still moving forward.
- He was sandbag in

that first pass because
he's got this figured out.

(engine revving)

(upbeat music)

- [Freiburger] Here we go, here we go.

(cheering)

- That was amazing!
- That was really good!

- [Freiburger] Dulcich manhandled
the Mopart muscle truck

into a perfect stop on his second run,

but even with his perfect stop,

the judges were a little unimpressed

with his style and gave
him a score of 4.75.

- Oh, well, okay.

I can see the grading
is pretty rough here.

- It would've been a three but
your hair was pretty amazing.

- Thanks Finnegan.

I'll admit, that first run
was a complete disaster,

but I didn't really know the course.

The second run went
pretty good and in style,

maybe I just had no style

or maybe those guys are just too harsh.

- It's race time.

Alright, I've got at least
an extra 100 horsepower

above any of these other guys,

which is going to do me absolutely
no good here in the dirt.

It's going to be nothing but wheel spin,

but I think what I have
going for me is 33x12 5015,

off-roadish tires and
wheel base for stability.

- He's got the most tire of anybody here

and it's a longbed and
he's got the most power,

but he's so competitive,

he tends to overdrive
the track and spin out.

- So, I'm just going to try
and not spin this thing out

and learn the track is
kind of my goal here.

- [Finnegan] Lot of wheel spin.

All that torque is not
his friend right now.

- [Dulcich] And he's just
babying it around that corner.

- That's what he's got to do.

He's trying to find it.

- Oh, the tires ground
up a little bit there.

- [Finnegan] I see a lot
of wheel work though,

a lot of wheel work.

Alright, don't cheat.

- [Dulcich] Oh well, he's hanging it out.

- [Finnegan] There he goes, there he goes.

- I came off the ground.

- [Finnegan] This is going to be close.

- Oh, he put way too much.
- Do not stop, stop.

- Well, my ending wasn't very good

and my tires were up a little bit

and my gas leaks everywhere,
but it's not too bad.

- Good start, 55, basically flat.

- Okay.

- Don't let history repeat itself here.

Remember the last time we
were here, you ran and then-

- It got slower and slower and slower.

That's my norm, dude.

- Don't push it too hard because

you've already come close to his time.

- Okay, well, those guys
weren't too harsh on me.

I did what I was trying
to do, feel out the track,

not spin out completely,
not kill a bunch of time.

If I can do the same thing,
I'll be ahead of Dulcich.

- [Finnegan] He's getting anxious now

because he lost too much
time on the wheel spin.

- [Lucky] He's holding it together.

- Doing much worse this time.

- [Finnegan] He's going to really try

to nail this stopbox this time.

- [Tony] Okay, if he nails that stop box-

- Hell yeah!
- The perfect ending!

- Oops.

- [Finnegan] You leaked
out a bunch of gas.

- Won't be needing that.

I was afraid to overdrive the course

and I ending up cruising
the C10 to a 55:66 average.

It's good enough for first place for now.

Somehow, even with my mediocre lap time,

the guys gave me a 7.25 for style.

I hurt my finger bad
on the steering wheel.

It think it probably threw the
alternator/water pump belt.

And no, it's still there,

just running a little bit hot and derby.

No worse for the wear.

This tells me I am doing
horribly at tomorrow

at the paved autocross, but in the dirt,

it was still pretty fun
because you can screw up

and still recover with
flair and have a good time.

You guys were nice to me on the score.

- We definitely were, yeah.

- You were a little harsh to me.

Maybe I should take a couple of points

off the score (laughing).

- He's loading rocks.
- Rocks?

- Dents on the underside of the fender.

- Is that like a mini Stonehenge?

What are we doing?

- Prepping the track.

This is my pip juice.

- [Dulcich] With rocks?

- [Freiburger] You're going to feng shui

your way to the finish line?

- Never let it be said that
Mike Finnegan is a quitter.

I have an overpowered truck
with zero traction for dirt.

These are the correct
size and shape boulders

to make any tire hook on gravel and dirt.

That's what's going to win me this.

- [Dulcich] I think it's working.

- [Freiburger] That's a
pretty decent launch, really.

- Oh, this thing is slick.

It's so slick.

- Oh wow, he's just sailing
through this, smooth as glass.

- Lots of understeer.

- Oh wow.
- Finnegan is killing it.

- Oh he's going to nail the stop box.

- Come on baby, go.

- [Lucky] Stop.

- [Freiburger] Right though it.

- I don't know how that was (laughing).

- You will have to
improve to be number one.

Dulcich is still the fastest
guy around the track.

- By that much, though.

- Nice work Dulcich.

- Only a few hundredths separate us.

- [Tony] Okay, he's going

a little harder and you can tell.

- [Freiburger] Yeah, more
tire spin, more dust.

- [Dulcich] He's got
a handful right there.

(upbeat music)

(engine revving)

- Come on, it had to have
been a little better.

- Alright, best pass ever, 52:85.

- Pretty good, pretty good.

- Yes!

The muscle truck rules.

- It does confirm for me my
suspicion about rallycross,

which is, it's boring because

you have to drive really
cautiously to be fast.

Finnegan ran the fastest lap of the day

and his average of 53:87 seconds

moves him up to first place for time.

But his smoothest fast method left him

with only a five on the style score.

- Oh, I might've been bamboozled there.

Four people giving you a five.

That's like upside down day.

The rules are backwards.

I don't know how to win
at this deal, so whatever.

I don't care.

- [Lucky] Tell me, how do I win?

- [Freiburger] By barely
driving the car at all.

- But on the stunt side,

it's probably more of an enigma right?

- I was thinking about opening the door

and dragging my knee through
a couple of the turns.

I've got a motorcycle background.

- Yeah, that would give cred.

Other than that, you just
want to idle through it.

Apparently, it'll be faster than

when we're trying to go fast.

- [Dulcich] Kind of a slow start.

That's a slow start.

- [Freiburger] That's
what Finnegan looked like.

- [Finnegan] This is going
to be the greatest run ever.

- [Finnegan] Oh, he saved it.

That was good.

Wow, look who's fast.

He's doing good.

- He could've been faster
through here, but yeah, he-

- [Tony] Stand on it, stand on it.

(engine revving)

- Give it to me.
- Oh yeah,

he's looking real solid now.

- [Freiburger] Oh man, nice.

Oh, he choked.

Total choke.
- It had him.

- [Freiburger] That's going
to throw his average off bad.

Now, he doesn't know where he's going.

Over here, over here.

And he doesn't even really come near.

Oh man.

- [Lucky] So, I was going
for air points, how'd I do?

- You were killing the
time until you spun it out.

- Yeah, I was going to throw open the door

and stick my leg out, a little zag snag.

- [Freiburger] But the air was good.

- Maybe save that for the last lap.

(horn sounds)

- [Freiburger] If he can hold it together,

he can have the best single
time of the whole day.

- [Finnegan] He's smooth
right now, look at that.

- [Dulcich] The Sunday
drive style really works.

- [Freiburger] It does.

It just looks so boring, but it does win.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, he jumps it, come on.

And...

51:50.

Lucky was out on patrol as he cruised in

for the fastest single lap time so far,

but his spin out on lap one

puts him in second to last place.

And there seems to be a trend of hate

from the judges as far as
the smooth and fast runs

and so, Lucky goes sub
threes on the style score.

Well, you got a 2.975.

- Not great.
- No.

- It was uninspiring.

It's up to you.

- It's all on you.

- We need inspiration and a fast time.

- Finally time for my runs here,

my C10's given up like
200-300 plus horsepower

to every other truck here
and I'm super competitive,

so I'm going to get in here

and I'm going to drive
the wheels off this thing.

- [Freiburger] Oh, lots of tire spin.

Slow off the line.

Barely moving is the key.

- [Dulcich] Smooth is fast.

- [Finnegan] His tires suck.

This is disappointing.

- [Finnegan] He didn't do the slalem.

- [Lucky] He got a little air there.

- Yeah.

And stop.

Well, except for you
missing the whole slalem,

it was pretty good.

- I didn't miss a damn thing.

- Well, you're still slower than Lucky,

so it kind of doesn't matter

either way.
- What'd I get?

- 52:12.
- What did you do?

- Did you guys get this
on camera right now?

Tony's a second slower than me.

- Only by .62 seconds.

- Come on, give me something.

- 52 seconds.

I'm behind Lcuky, but I think
I'm ahead of everybody else.

And they said I missed the
slalem, but I definitely didn't.

Just hating.

- [Dulcich] Oh, he's
getting aggressive now.

- [Finnegan] He needs to beat Lucky

so he's going to hang it out.

- The whole secret was to irritate him

by telling him that he had
missed part of the track.

- Here's your slalem.

It's too much wheel work.

- Tony ran the most
consistent laps of anybody

and it paid off as he moves
to first place and time,

scoring with a 52.06.

But for a pro drifter, the judges

were exceptionally disappointed

and gave him the lowest
style score of 2.5.

Oh, he's coming this way.

You tell him.

- This is an enigma here.

I'll tell him.

I'm cool with it.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- First place in how fast you can go.

Dead last in style.

- I'll take it.

All I heard was the first part.

(laughing)

I came in last in style according

to these diabolical haters over here.

Really, I was focused on the
racing where I came in first,

so I'm feeling good about that.

You guys are all haters.

A bunch of haters, that's fine.

No big deal.

- [Freiburger] The
rallycross really didn't

end up in Roadkill's favor.

If you judge by the best
average of two laps, Tony won.

If you go by the fastest
single lap, Lucky wins.

I won the style score, but
I always go by the average.

Going fast is looking good and so the guys

that went fast were Hot Rod Garage.

Can't have that, so we set up a drag race

at the end of the day for the winner

to take all bragging rights.

- They want me to signal
the start of the race

so I can't figure out how
they're going to cheat,

but they've got smiles on
their faces, so something's up.

I'm sure we're in for something.

- Well, also too, we're parked
in four inches of fresh sand

and they're on packed dirt.

They're thinking we didn't catch that.

It's not my first rodeo.

- Does he got some scheme over there

that we don't know about?

Because we've got the
weight advantage over here

and the horsepower advantage,
and the good looks.

- Dulcich's hair is here too.

- Okay fellas, here we go.

Three, two, go, go, go.

(horn sounds)

- Oh, they cheated.

They cheated.

- Oh no, come on Freiburger.

Take them out.

Did we win?

- Yes (laughing).

- Barely.

- How'd you manage to get the
one cone that was out there?

- You cheating SOB's.

- What are you talking about?

- And we still got there before you.

- I completely learned that from

the last time I raced you guys.

- Kind of a Finnegan trick.

I've got to give you that.

- It usually works.

- You guys win, right?

- Yup, we feel good about it.

You guys won corners.

We won the drag race.

So tomorrow on asphalt-

- It's on.

- Yeah, probably.
- It's on.

- Damn.

- [Freiburger] That's a
wrap on day one in the dirt

for the muscle truck showdown and yup,

Roadkill won the drag race.

Tomorrow, we will be on pavement

for the autocross and pure burnout mayhem.

It's day two of the muscle truck showdown

and now, we're at Camarillo Airport,

which is our favorite
new patch of perfectly

good, old, used runway that
we can use for burnouts

and thrashing and autocross,

and all that stuff is
going to happen except

for a couple things that went wrong,

as you might expect Roadkill style.

First of all, I committed to ultimate

behind-the-scenes Roadkill sin.

The video directors are always like,

"Don't break the truck
unless cameras are rolling."

Well, I was giving Dulcich
some wide-open throttle rides

and shifted the thing into
neutral and scattered parts.

So, unfortunately, it's
not going to be here today.

Dulcich was driving here last night

and the alternator went bad
on the Mopart muscle truck

and so, he ended up needing

to get rescued by these other guys.

He got it here, but I think
he was ready to pretty much

hurl that alternator for
distance this morning.

But, we're going to be
ready to race anyway

because we still have the penalty box,

which means we still have five trucks.

Not just the ones left
over from yesterday,

minus my truck, but the
addition of the Dodson.

We're going to go find out
now who's going to be forced

to drive that particular pile of garbage.

- [Finnegan] So your truck blew up?

- Yeah.

- My truck got new tires.

- Right.

- I really enjoy the Dodson.

I would jump on that grenade
and give you the muscle truck.

- Really?

- I would.
- Oh man.

Well, the Dodson does sort of fit

your persona, your past, your heritage.

- Okay, I thought you were going to

say something derogatory, but thank you.

(laughing)

Thank you.

- I'll take the muscle truck.

Okay, cool.

So what we have set up here
is side by side autocrosses.

So, it's an autocross drag race.

Whoever wins, comes back

and goes again against the next guy.

- Round Robin.

- Until someone else wins.

So, if you're winning, you stay.

- I'll jump on the grenade and go last.

- Okay, well that makes
sense because of the Dodson.

So, you want to go
muscle truck versus MMT?

- Oh, right off the bat?

- Yeah, because the muscle truck beat you

when we did that shootout in
the Roadkill Garage episode.

- You're on buddy.
- Let's do it.

- Alright, so heads up,
autocross, MMT versus OG MT.

- OMG.

(rock music)

- This is going to be a
sudden death elimination.

- You guys ready?

Good?

(horn sounds)

- [Finnegan] He's got the hole shot.

Round the first cone is Freiburger,
second cone took it out.

(rock music)

- [Tony] Oh, Dulcich just pulled ahead.

- [Finnegan] He's running
his own race right now.

- [Lucky] He skipped some stuff.

- [Freiburger] Did Dulcich get lost?

- Oh, the muscle truck stalls.

No way.

- All I got to do is not blow it here.

(engine revving)

- That's not the lane.

That's not where he's supposed to be.

- Okay, where's Freiburger?

What happened?

- He missed the whole track.

- Allegedly.

- He turned a slalem into a straight line.

- I think the boss wants
another shot at this.

(engine revving)

- [Dulcich] What happened?

- You missed the whole track.

- No, I didn't.

- [Freiburger] Yes, you did.

You drive right through
the center of all of them.

- Now, you're just sounding
a little like Lucky.

- [Lucky] Throwing shade around here.

(horn sounds)

- [Tony] Freiburger again
with the whole shot.

He is slaleming him.

Dulcich is slaleming
the course and winning.

Is he cutting the course?

- I don't think so.

- [Tony] He's still in the course.

- [Finnegan] David's so pissed.

Everybody out of the way.

David's coming back and he's mad.

(engine revving)

- That's not right.
- That's not even

the right place.

(laughing)

I think he ended up in
the wrong area code.

- There is no way he is
driving the whole track.

- He drove his track, your
track, and somebody else's track.

- [Tony] And also, the middle lane.

- [Dulcich] What happened?

- [Freiburger] You're making
it up as you go along.

- No, I'll admit, I got in the wrong lane

on the very back of the straightaway.

- Trade sides.

- Yes, great idea.

- Well, Freiburger says I missed
a course but I don't know.

I thought I took every
turn and that muscle truck

is just snarling at me.

- He is not running the same track I am

and I can see from here why.

He plowed through all the cones.

- Dulcich is my hero.

The hair, the truck, the blatant
disregard for orange cones,

it all works.

(horn sounding)

Dulcich with the hole shot this time.

- Oh, close.
- Keep it tight,

keep it tight.

- [Finnegan] Oh, he just
cut the course again.

- [Lucky] What is he doing?

- [Finnegan] He just cut the course again.

- [Lucky] You know what?

They're neck and neck right now.

- [Finnegan] Freiburger is
now cutting the course too.

(laughing)

He cut the course twice.

You cut one.

- I cut one.

He cut the whole track.

- He cut two significant sections.

- I lost the course on the
way back, but other than that,

I thought it was straight up.

But you can't really hold it against me

if all the cones are knocked down.

There's no track.

There's no track to follow.

- [Finnegan] We've reached
new levels of Roadkill mayhem

and blatant disregard for orange cones.

Apparently, neither one of these fools

can race straight up
without cheating the course,

so what we're going to do now
is have a drag race from here,

all the way to the end and back.

They can take any route
they wish through the cones,

but they cannot knock a cone over.

If they both knock cones
over, they're both out.

(engine revving)

A lot of wheelspeed out of Freiburger.

- [Tony] That is a good race right there.

- [Finnegan] He's doing it.

Holy crap.

That was awesome.

- [Lucky] Look at him
celebrating with those donuts.

- Wow.

- Nice work Freiburger.

- Oh, thanks.

It was good competition.

- Good game, way to hustle.

I say we do the exact same thing

and I am taking Tony in the brown hick.

- Alright, let's do it.

- [Finnegan] The wheels
have completely fallen off

the autocross program here,

but we're having more fun
which is all I care about.

Thing about this is, we both
have about the same horsepower,

but he's got a supercharged 4.6.

I have a naturally
aspirated 5.7 LS6 engine.

(horn sounding)

(engines revving)

He got off faster than me.

(rock music)

(laughing) He got me.

- Woo, that was close.

- All about the hole shine.

You got me right out of the hole while

I was spinning them and
held it the whole time.

That was fun.

- That was super fun.

Now, I say you two.

You in the muscle truck.

You in the Crownhick.

- Yeah, let's do that.

- Just make it up as we go along.

- I won in the hick and now
I'm driving the muscle truck.

Whoa, it's got a stereo.

I've never been in this thing.

- Strange day at work.

Went from autocrossing to drag racing

and now I'm in a truck
I've never even worked on.

- I don't know who I want to win.

My truck or my dude.

(laughing)

You ready?

- Yeah.

- [Freiburger] You ready?

(horn sounding)

(engines revving)

It's close.

I think Mike's out ahead again.

But Tony's going to-

Oh no, no, no.

Tony's in the dirt.

Oh!

- I might've hit a cone.

Maybe a little.

So, now what?

- You pick.

You won, you pick.

- Let's slalem again.

- Slalem what to what?

- Ride in Dodson, I'll take that one

and Lucky in the blue seat
10 since you built it.

- Mike won that last
race and called me out.

I don't necessarily think
that I'm going to win,

but I do know that I am
going to make it back

without breaking down because
we built this on our show.

- Here are three tips for
winning an autocross event.

Step one, don't get lost.

Step two, have a car that
will finish the event.

Step three, make sure your
suspension is good and tight.

If we're going around corners,
winning machine right here.

- [Dulcich] Lucky, are you ready?

- I'm ready.

- Finnegan, are you ready?

(horn sounding)

- [Freiburger] Go, go, go, go.

Go Finnegan.

- That's not right.

Oh my God.

We can't do this event anymore.

- What a finish!

Wow!

- I was exhausted about
halfway and I just gave up.

- [Freiburger] The manual
steering's the worst right?

- You totally won buddy.

- He also cheated.

- You cheated too?

- Maybe a little bit.

- Nice!

(laughing)

- [Freiburger] There's
normally some science

behind a vehicle shootout,

especially when you're
dealing with motor trend,

but here, we don't deal with
rules very well and obviously,

we can't be confined by cones.

So, that means, at the end of the day,

there's really only one way to find out

what the best muscle truck is on pavement,

and that's grounds for distance.

The only rule here is
no dragging the brakes,

just mash the gas and go.

- I've got the only manual transmission.

I'm going to have to shift
gears and that's not easy

because my transmission
is straight out of a van

in a junkyard and it doesn't
like shifting at RPM.

(horn sounding)

- That wasn't too bad.

- Pretty good distance.

- [Finnegan] Oh man, low bar
muscle truck for the win.

Did you see that one-two shift?

Dulcich easily went a
16th of a mile right there

and I think that's going to be the bar.

Here's Lucky.

- I wouldn't even bother marking that.

- Oh, weak.

Here's how I'm going to cheat.

(engine revving)

I had to get my tires a
little greasy to begin with.

- If I was Hotrod Garage
right now, I'd close the doors

Out of business.

- How come Freiburger always
has a trick up his sleeve?

I mean, those tires after that burnout

are just turned into soup.

(engine revving)

- [Finnegan] Not by much.

- [Tony] You think he won?

- [Finnegan] I think Steve might've won.

That was close.

- What's the ruling?

- [Finnegan] We're deliberating.

- I saw a lot of confusing parallel lines

along your whole path.

- I agree.

You were confused.

- Yeah.

(laughing)

- With all of the marks on
the pavement from the day,

it was really hard to see
where the tracks ended

and who went the furthest, so of course,

we decide to go one
last time side by side.

You want to go no holds barred?

Brakes allowed?

- [Dulcich] I'll accept that.

- If brakes are allowed,
can I buy my way back in?

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Three-way, brakes
allowed, no holds barred.

We're going to end it all.

Ready?

- Well, I did not see this coming.

The plot thickens.

Lucky has somehow bought
his way back into a race

that required no money to
enter in the first place.

And it's three wide, first
guy to the cone wins,

but the tires have to be spinning.

The whole time?
- The whole time.

Alright, hat drop starts it.

(engines revving)

Lucky still leads.

- [Tony] How close was that?

- That was really close.

I think the OG muscle truck
got it by just a little bit.

Dulcich was out of RPM.

I thought he had this.

- What happened?

- You got him by a nose.

- Yeah, but was I spinning them?

- I'm concerned I might
not have been spinning them

when I crossed the line, I have to admit.

- He was coming for you, but
right here, you just had him.

- [Finnegan] Dulcich had it tires smoking

and you just ran out of RPM

and the muscle took the
win right at the end.

- Nipped me right at the end.

You'll always beat me Freiburger.

- I'm sorry.

I'll buy you a beer.

- Alright, I feel better already.

I came into this competition
wanting to do one thing

and that's to prove the superiority

of the D100 muscle truck.

It's got some warts.

The transmission doesn't shift.

The gearing is not right.

It sits way too high to do donuts

without fearing flipping over.

As much as I love my truck, I really,

really can't declare it the
best of the muscle trucks.

That, in my opinion, has to
go to the original Freiburger

and Finnegan muscle truck, the C10 Chevy.

If anything in this competition,

it proves that it's really,
really good at everything.

- I really am fond of the Crownhick.

It's pretty much the
all-around cool truck.

You can do anything with it,

but I will say to the little Dodson,

I'm going to call that
the no muscle truck.

That's pretty fun.

I'm fond of this truck at C10

and the original muscle truck,

but I'm going to lean
towards the Crownhick.

I'm kind arrogant, but I put it together.

- It's time to pick my
favorite truck and really,

it's got to be the Crownhick.

It does everything well.

It drives, it handles, it hauls,

and I'll use it as a daily driver.

It is unstoppable.

My favorite truck though,
is probably Dulcich's truck,

because out of all the trucks out here,

it's the only one that actually rips

and is still carborated, 4
speed, and totally old school.

- Dulcich has the best
hair of every one here.

Clearly, he's majestic.

And his truck is the
best muscle truck around.

It has the perfect brown
bomber paint, the right stance,

the slaughted mags, a stereo
full of a lot of distortion,

just reeks of, "Hey, this
is the late 70s, early 80s,

"and I don't care what I look like.

"All I care about is how my
truck goes down the road."

I love it.

It wins.

- Well, this competition
has really done nothing

to scientifically prove which
of these trucks is really

best at anything, but it's
been a lot of fun and to me,

that's the message that
Roadkill wants to send.

Looking at a truck that is going
to be best for drag racing,

street driving, autocrossing,
hauling junk around,

the Hot Rod Garage Crownhick is it.

But if you're going to ask me personally

which one of these
vehicles I'd like to have,

it's still got to be the
OG Roadkill muscle truck.

Why?

Because it sounds awesome.

It does killer burnouts and it's probably

the Roadkill vehicle that
has done the most things,

taken the biggest beating,
and never actually let us down

and it just still looks awesome doing it

even though it's a complete piece of junk.

So, honest answer, Crownhick.

Emotional answer, OG muscle truck.

(engine revving)

Support companies that support Roadkill.

Whoever draw the longest stick goes first

and then it'll go in order.

- Just tryna see what's your reaction.

- [Tony] Cheating-ass little bead.

(laughing)

- What's your reaction
to which one I'm taking?

- [Dulcich] Good strategy evolved here.

- Oh, pretty good.
