Rocky Mountain Race Week 2021: A Weekend of Thrills and Chills

The 2021 Rocky Mountain Race Week was an event to remember, with its mix of adrenaline-pumping action, heart-stopping drama, and humor that had everyone in stitches. The week-long spectacle brought together a talented group of racers, each determined to emerge victorious and claim the top spot on the podium.

As the weekend got underway, the stage was set for an epic battle between two veteran teams: "The Guys" and their arch-nemesis, "The Coder." The tension was palpable as both crews prepared their rigs for the main event. With a charity tie-in, the stakes were high, and the crowd was eagerly anticipating a showdown that would be remembered for years to come.

As the green flag waved, the two teams hurtled forward, their engines roaring like a chorus of banshees. The crowd held its collective breath as the trucks jostled for position, each driver pushing his vehicle to the limit in pursuit of victory. Chet, Chad, and Jason were among those who would stop at nothing to claim the top spot on the podium.

The mountain was calling, and it didn't care which team answered. The first few laps saw a heated battle between Peterbilt 359 owner and driver Johnny "The King" Brown, his opponent in the #27 Peterbilt, and Chet's truck in the #22 Peterbilt. The pace was blistering, with both trucks trading positions on each lap.

But as the event progressed, it became clear that something was amiss. A head gasket failure at the top of the track had forced driver Brian to make an unscheduled stop under the hood. His teammate, however, was not so fortunate. The #15 Freightliner's engine blew its top end, leaving it a sitting duck.

Despite the setbacks, the competitors refused to give up. As they navigated the treacherous mountain terrain, each truck had its own story to tell – some of which were downright hilarious. "I love blue," shouted one competitor as he sped by his opponents, "It's my life!" Another driver, who would eventually take home the top prize, was overheard remarking, "This is freaking cool!"

As the day wore on, things only got more intense. In a stunning upset, a newcomer to the racing scene took the lead with an astonishing 26-21 in the final round of competition. His victory was all the more remarkable given that he had never before competed at this level.

When asked about his strategy going into the event, the driver replied, "I don't think I'll change anything – it's pretty rough on that car." It seemed that caution was not the order of the day in Rocky Mountain Race Week 2021. Instead, drivers opted for all-out aggression, willing to push their vehicles to the limit in pursuit of victory.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of organizers and competitors alike, this event would become a benchmark of excellence for years to come – one that showcased what it truly means to be a rock 'n' roll racing machine. As the sun set on an unforgettable Rocky Mountain Race Week 2021, participants gathered at awards ceremonies to celebrate their achievements.

Awards were given to all competitors for their tireless efforts throughout the week as well as the overall winner of the event. To those in attendance, this was a testament that the camaraderie and sense of community among racing enthusiasts can be just as rewarding as winning itself.

For now, until the next Rocky Mountain Race Week, we bid you farewell – stay safe on your mountain roadways!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe got number one overall tom leaving right now 5 30 in the morning what is up 13 20 fans it is day seven of race week with kit things off with a 250 mile drive from kearney nebraska to great bend kansas we decided to go ahead and start the day off with number one overall tom uh tom likes to leave early so it's 5 30 in the morning right now we're gonna go and get on the road follow him show you guys all the cars on the way here we go we got tom mcgilton number one overall we got the baileys box doom right here man tom when you say 5 30 you mean 5 30 on the dot we walk out it's 5 30 it's like oh they're leaving all right yeah well kind of beat this heat that's for damn sure so but you made it oh yeah 75 degrees is way better than 105 degrees yes great we go over this every year but remind me of the capacity and what kind of mileage you get in the commercial we've been getting right around almost eight miles gallon with it here lately uh between seven and a half to eight depending on if we're hitting the head and then or what that's him hold 14 gallons here oh and this is the right side and that's five gallons on that side but other than that nowhere how often do you stop how many miles can you make it on things we can go up to 80 but she's sucking air at that point gotcha though but we've been stopping every uh about about every 60 miles 65 miles gotcha she'll pretty much run on anything that burns yeah i'm just going to put some 87 out 3000 horsepower car 87 octane what kind of fuel do you guys run the ship box on it's flex fuel so we can get e85 and then it was on the map saying we could get e85 here so you're we'll go ahead and fill it up with that but then it'll blend we'll end up with gas in there but we prefer when we get to the track to have as high a percentage of e85 as possible is that what you guys run at the track primarily it's the 85 whatever's in the tank whatever will burn yeah whatever's in the tank we're not putting out enough power to be too cookie uh how big is the the cell on this uh 17 gallons we were lower than i thought again yeah 13 and a half gallons the reason why they're on the road at 5 30 morning is to beat the heat it is currently 75 degrees it is gorgeous out yeah and it's way cooler than 105 that's going to be later so that's the reason we're on the road early and they're moving pretty good uh tom's going about five over something like that so we're cooking is the hatch being open the key to getting air flow in this thing when you guys are moving down the road no we put at different angles and everything i don't think there's any secret to getting there i don't think you just you just don't get much gotcha so but he gets cruising right along though no issues nope all smooth yeah we keep it slower for him because he can only do like 70 so we try and keep it there this doesn't like 70 it wants to go 80 or wants to go 65 gotcha what did you guys do with the end of doing with the turbo anything yet or no there's the other turbo getting shipped there we had vice grips on it to hold it from spinning but then they didn't want to stay on there so we uh um so i ended up i just got the wastegate off so it's just straight exhaust dumping right out there right back behind the um firewall so it's gotta be nice to just put not any load on that turbo so right yeah so like at an idle that turbo actually spins backwards because the other turbo's pushing through the inner oh right air's coming out but once you get off idle there's enough pressure on it that it just kind of spins right but at least it's not so the tune-up's all off now because yeah so it'll get you there though yep so all smooth whatever you gotta do for race week exactly whatever so we're at our first checkpoint of the day it is this beautiful courthouse in this small town let me see what the name of it is one second that's not a sign for it never mind anyway it's this courthouse right here just like everything else you can stop take a picture prove you were here and continue on the route this is the first of i think three how many checkpoints out there today corey two two checkpoints today good morning corey how are we doing good morning fred how are you good how's the drive been so far it's been good been smooth been cool what time did you get up and uh get on the road this morning got up at four four thirty yeah four thirty and then had to go top off with the at the other end of town and then look back and jam out so just been cruising along no issues yeah 70 75 and it's been just rolling so yeah try to beat the heat a little bit you know yep so yeah smooth sailing so far well get your picture and uh we'll see on the road thanks see you guys so you guys end up getting a wiffle for this thing or no we end up health checking the engine and scoping the blower and it's acceptable okay it's not bad is it still making a little noise or it it when it cooled off we uh it got better we changed the oil in it serviced it and everything too it's it's a little noisier than normal but acceptable would your et about the same and for that air we didn't spray it uh yesterday because the track wasn't there for the radials but yeah it everything's on par so i don't think everything's good motors within two or three percent blower looks decent so i think we're good good yeah well you only got a little bit further to go for for the last day so what 100 miles or so something like that i guess yeah all right so we're gonna make it get there early and try to make it hit early because the rx7 has got me worried now he banged off the nice pass last night he was a 9 45 64. 9.65 is that the is that the fastest pass of any stick card this week damn so he's is so you're number one and he's number two yeah he's a tenth behind me oh geez okay yeah so it's gonna be a good good one to end it off we're probably gonna uh we may try to blow it up and win so we'll put the biggest noxious field i can put in there so that's awesome all right man we'll see we'll see you great ben yep later man good luck thank you cok 55 is still in yeah still going all right tell me this is the first time you guys have pulled over today no not exactly oh geez yeah we got the first time first time was my fault because we actually didn't run out of gas okay i thought we had more fuel i can't see the pool gauge because it's behind the holley dash and i thought we had plenty to get further but we didn't so we ran out like and we posted in the gas station parking lot so that was fine okay and then just rolling into town here fuel pressure started dropping again but it's not from overheating i don't know what it is he cracked the line and burped it and yeah it's fine again okay i'm smiling i'm comfortable with it we have about 100 miles to go or something something like that between 150 something like that yeah and the issues yesterday i don't think were as major as we thought you know we were just tired and you know fighting through stuff so yeah you guys you guys are i don't know if we'll see you tomorrow but yeah it was a long day yesterday oh yeah it was really hot out too so i don't blame you at all yeah we're gonna make it a great band we'll make a pass i'll have to look at my logs from last night to see if the motors hurt because it leaned out and popped and died so i don't know if i'm going to do a full pass under power but we'll make a pass and it'll look good awesome well glad to see you guys still on the road thanks hopefully we don't see a on the side somewhere along the way we're going to sit here for a little while before we get going all right that's fair that's fair that's not under the car we're good all right guys we'll see you great ben all

though you go buddy we'll see you later all right bye we're rolling up on our second checkpoint it is this giant freaking egg whoa that thing's huge for some reason in the picture this egg i thought

we're gonna go ahead and call it we got about an hour left of the drive we're gonna go ahead and head to the track see you guys there oh yeah they're changing the turbo we just rolled in great bend we were about to stop by our hotel we look over and tom and aiden are here swapping out turbos i'm not sure where they're at but looks like they're in the process of doing so this is easy to work on how's it going you guys don't want your shot you need to sneak in there because he's laying on that couch pastel oh he's passed out right now in the lobby the back part of the lobby do you guys just have a torn part waiting for the new turbo or what yeah waiting for the fedex guy to get here so we got the turbo out of it just waiting it's nice the whole front end comes off though that's nice yeah so as soon as they get here we should put this turbo in it head to the track we're to do it at the track and then we're like and then we're coming into town and we stopped at the sonic whatever we need to eat so we stopped there and then we said um he said you know what we're just using the hotel be shadier than anywhere we're going to get at the track oh yeah for sure we were rolling past where it was coming in we were all passing all doors were open that the front end's out there oh they're definitely swapping the turbo right now continue to pro chase for more information on this story or to see other competitive drives visit dot com thank you so much is that a rough day we're gonna head to the track see you boys there stay cool tom's there because he rode with us all the way in and then we were gonna get e85 and there's a place set at e85 we went there and they didn't have e85s gotcha so we put 87 in it so this thing run on 87 just fine well it'll run fine but i don't

miles yeah that's pretty we're gonna call it 1320 i like it 1320 miles yeah i like it i like it my my odometer doesn't really work so i'm just going to write that there is this weight reduction what are we doing here yeah we're getting to the bumper so these things oh you you told me you told me the bumper wraps underneath yeah yeah so get that off pull the seat out took the exhaust off while taking the duck off depending on that yeah you know it's just a little things give me an et what's the goal all stripped down tuned up what do we got i want to go a 10 i'm gonna say a 10-1 but i i might be able to get it to go faster okay so we made it to third place yesterday did you yeah we made it to third okay so you but you're not a lot not by a lot yeah so you have to do another good pass to keep it and i'm i'm totally down with hot lap in this thing and just keeping on making passes today i don't even care you break it you break it trailer's right there with the winch yeah i think everybody's on that right now oh yeah everybody talk to all we can say well i'm doing this right now but once we get friday we're turning around i said that and then i put the line to the top of the gate like abandonment and it hasn't come back off like it's just that's what it makes so now we're just doing weight reduction and arrow i do have some more wastegate springs in the toolbox so it might go there you never know he's like ah does the trailer have a winch oh yeah oh we're good texas pride trailer warren winch you know put two cars together and winch them up at the same time who cares well glad to see you guys made it 1300 miles yeah good luck today boys thanks man hell yeah um looks like a 10 50 at 137 i think it's 10.50 with 137 for him was that a 1050 yeah you happy with that or the b went like a 1047 oh really yeah we're like thousands apart really yeah i got ahead of him last night so now he did now you just you guys are going to do this all day yeah and now i need to stay gotcha so i mean it was hot my intake temps were through the roof outside is it greasy out there is the track all right right now i mean this car you can't really tell because it's like trash suspension everything's greasy okay but i mean the front half looked all right so it was just so hot it pulled some timing for the intake tips gotcha so kind of killed a little power about 800 foot out probably so maybe wait till six seven keep making passes okay just send it if i can just get one then i'll probably keep going too i don't care i'll burn the thing down today everybody's got that move like the trailer is right there yeah i'm here to race i mean i'll just keep running around so i'll throw some ice on the intercooler all right i like the sound of it well i'm still having a blast oh hell if he beats me even he beats me but at least at least you're getting going back yeah at least you're gonna give him a run for his money there you go see you up there man all right so 927 149 for meltdown fred you actually working on the thing yeah we're checking lash a little bit yeah we lost some more pressure let's kind of just check the balcony a little bit gotcha gotcha other than that we're good to go good good what are we doing today what'd you do yesterday at 15 what 15.75 moving for this thing moving so we're going to uh 15.75 okay okay we'll repaint it and you drove this thing here right oh yeah yes so you have you you have to rely on this thing to get you all the way back home too okay yes oh yeah all right i'll let's keep working out i'll see you up there man good luck today yeah it's awesome well i'm guessing fred found some issues with the motor because he just broke the beams and if you break the beams technically you made a pass and you get a 20 second time slip and you can turn that in and you finish race week so he just finished race week i'm gonna go talk to him figure out what he found i'm guessing he didn't want to run it because he has to drive the thing all the way home so but he finished race week in that c4 corvette slash studebaker thing the freddenstein the freddenstein freddenstein i think that's what it's called did you find some issues with it you didn't want to take a pass or whatever yeah we we dropped down about 10 pounds oil pressure and i'm not going to try to tear it up gotcha i was i was thinking like you still got to get home man oh yeah i got to drive at home yeah so we'll make change oil pumps see what we do gotcha but you have a time you have a slip to turn and you finish oh yeah i told him we're done we turned into 20 hey we made it we made it through you did oh yeah you broke the bees take it you get it you get what 20 second pass for that i got a 20. yeah yeah so i mean you're really not that much slower all right you've been fun all week man congrats thank you guys enjoyed it fred is one of those few guys that's crazy enough to not only do race week but drive to race week in the car you're gonna do it in do all of race week and drive it home there's a handful of guys that do it bill that has the galaxy does it uh there's a few others that do it but that's a different kind of dedication to race week you're driving your race car to race week you're gonna drive 1400 miles race and race five different days and then drive it home that's that's intense right there this is old school looking higher with a lot of new tech i'm pretty sure and i've been seeing it run all week it's pretty quick but i've yet to talk to him i didn't mean it to so i'm gonna do that right now how's it going good i've been seeing this thing run all week it presses me i've yet to come over to talk to you about it so i figured i could do it now appreciate that what year is it 1932 hudson really and obviously it's got ls ls53ls okay what's the rest of the setup what are we looking at so 53ls 76 millimeter turbo t-56 six-speed oh it's a six-speed car it's six people yeah we're racing in the stick shift class what ets are you running with this so not very good here we've been having a lot of traction problems in the rear end we went through two rear ends if it wasn't this week no right before we oh okay gotcha if it wasn't for quick performance we wouldn't be here oh you know we ate the rear end out the week before we came here gotcha blew it right out the back gotcha so and every time launching it's just it's scary launching it hooks too hard on the rear first day out here we like popped the front end off the ground it was bad this car it looks rowdy going down the track because it's not like you chopped it it looks it or is it shocking no it's 100 okay factory the way it looks we just took the hood skirts off and we widened the rear fenders three inches okay i figured it looks normally see these cars slammed on the ground but the way it looks now and when it goes off track i'm like that thing looks cool just looks like a like a old school mob car that just got a whole mess of steam we were going to make a comfortable driver and uh we had ac and everything in it but due to we went through three engines to get here and i just couldn't get it done in time and it's our first time so we were like we had to make it gotcha what's that what's the goal today what are you doing so i'm gonna go run one pass try to work run what i've been like 11-0 or something like that there then i'm gonna put it on kill and swing for the fences everybody's doing that today everybody's doing the trailers here so uh we're gonna let her eat after i do my first one and i can do one and technically be done but right i'm gonna run it many times they'll let me today hell yeah see what i can get out of it this is your first race week first race week well as of right now you've made it over 1300 miles and you've done four race days so all you got to do is make the all you do is break the beams and you you find you solve it dude and since we built the car we're 1500 miles on this car since we built it really yeah and 1300 of those were just our race we drove it to pueblo one time grenaded the rear end out and other than that that's all on a brand new wow that's some dead that that's that's some faith in your work this is our this is our first one we did the chassis everything on it damn well congrats for making it 1300 miles go up there make a pass man okay oh yeah 11 45 at 132 for the hudson so what'd you think good blew a gasket out on the header gotcha gotcha so we're gonna get that fixed and give her health for the next time you just gotta keep running it run it run it i'm running many times they'll hit me tonight oh yeah thanks man oh yeah you made it yeah congrats on completing your first that you're competing in i think it was about 1320 miles uh mine says 1410 we we had a little sightseeing we're going to save 1320 because that sounds i like that right okay that works what you're at third right now second you're second now 21 thousands right right they got it figured out so i would ask what the game plan is today but let's go to uh i'm just gonna 10.000 it safe on the first one because if we didn't turn like a nine then it's gonna be really bad but we should have tons of passes today staging lanes are empty right now so i think a lot of the fast cars are waiting a few hours for the sun to go down good luck today thank you hopefully we see uh you're definitely gonna be on the podium right oh yeah top three get trophies so that's pretty cool sweet good luck today man thank you 1006 133 for kyle not bad first pass of the day nice it's a bad way to start off the day huh oh thank you so much i mean we're going to make another run but i don't think we need to because i don't think we can catch sean yeah 10 10. we'll do the numbers and see but we do need to lock in second place let's see what the math is for that 10.062 on the first pass we just drove 1400 miles in a 1200 horsepower r8 granted it was d2 to 700 horsepower but 10 0's pretty much every trip to be nintendo here in the first stage you only got two passes that just speaks to the real reliability of these this car and this is exactly why i built it because i just beat the crap out of my cars like why do you want to do this right well now you know that was easy on it so when i drove i'm like dad on cruise control i was like martin lost big shout out also to our crew because without matt fred whitney and christian just kicking ass and stinson back home helping us out i wouldn't be able to race this this week so we got a good team it's literally a dream to race this car on this event racing this car is literally a dream it's so cool i keep telling people the trade racing's just a reason to be here the crews and hanging out with all these people here is just that's why we do it so at 155 for corey not bad yeah that was our a to b just to lock the class get it done when it cools off we'll start playing yeah he wants to swing for it so that's miserable out here right now nice work we'll see you back up here absolutely corey was that a 919 was that what it was 919 in the heat on 10 pounds of boost not bad not bad that was killer were you afraid were you so excited for a night were you spraying it all or no a little bit yeah you're you're a nitrous guy now aren't you no yes come on no you like it don't you you like pushing that button i missed my scramble button to add like 10 more pounds what's the game plan now the game plan is to wait for it to cool off and we're going for the seven so adam dory i think uh day one said all right he promised the world i'm going to do it so i said all right we're going to stick it out hopefully the track comes around and we're going to go for it so i'm ready 802 here first time around i took that same tune and i added about four or five more pounds up top and as long as the 60 foot's the same it it'll go yes so have you done a seven in the car before 779 it's dropped 184 okay i just waited at the other end it was 37.70 with me i guess that's awesome yeah it's all steel right all steel all real glass oh one point 100 stock suspension yeah it's it's as i guess as original as you can make it while still making it go seven yeah it's it's oh it's old school but it's got a lot of cool new tech in it that's making it do this absolutely well congrats on the 19. hopefully we see a seven later so that secures hot rod really oh hell yeah that's awesome yeah i i only had to run assuming john wishman runs the same 890 but with this low nine second pass he would have to run probably a high six oh wow yeah it's nearly impossible right for him to catch up with the hour so i yeah i locked it in well congrats thank you and this is your second year right second year so back-to-back hell yeah that's awesome we'll see you later tonight for the seven absolutely all right good luck thanks the brent made it we made it though how was the drive boys freaking awesome it's about 1320-ish miles convenient huh yeah i like it all right that's cool no problems with mullet all week though no big problems anyway oh yeah no problems i mean i changed oil and some spark plugs that's a pretty reliable unit right there i'd say good yeah brand new car so i'm pretty happy so uh sevens today yeah i mean i gotta go up there and see what it's like but uh shoot i think last the track yesterday was like sevens capable for sure and try and improve the suspension even more gotcha you know we're the four lane brothers you call us oh yeah that's your name now you guys are four link bros yeah we're gonna learn more we're gonna learn today good luck today boys thank you oh yeah 804 180 for cletus dude how many of these have you done one two four how many have you completed one congrats buddy we're not there yet yeah we're here you're here do you have do you think you have all your issues figured out oh the only issue i had was just the lift like i had the bushing and the lifters starting to go i think i just tried to push them too long gotcha i mean it's not like the valve springs or daily driver pressures so but louis with crower i can't thank that guy enough i mean i made a phone call he said absolutely i can help you hung up the phone calls his guys i had lifters at the hotel before 9 00 a.m this morning really i already had a tour i stayed up till about two last night i had it all tore apart ready to go was standing there waiting for the ups truck to pull in saw him pull in went straight downstairs i actually had it back together about the same time royce showed up from the track is royce on his way he started to overheat in town gotcha so he's on his way but he just kind of gave us the i'm hot go gotcha so gotcha well congrats on making it yeah what's the goal today are you still shooting for eight i want the eight average for the week we're we're like eight eighty something for the week gotcha so i think i'm gonna still try for one and done i think i might just keep turn off all my torque management all the safeties just turn them off see what it is raise up the shift just shift rpms and see what happens all right all i got to do is break the beams but yeah exactly but you want to send it i want to send it yeah i have to do two if i don't have to but we'll see well glad you made it yeah get ready we'll see it i'm guessing tonight yeah i'll probably wait until about to eat all right because if i have to i can turn and burn it see what happens all right jason see you later man so 873 157 for the hearse 842 166 for clinton um 10.05 134 for kyle what's up crew chief hi you made it i'm ready it's a little hot i made it a little hot today it was hot huh i got the this is your ac3000 right here for blaine very nice how was the drive for you guys it was hot and long but we stopped with royce to change plugs in his car and then we bumped into the taylor's in their 55 and we all drove together and then they lost the water pump belts we stopped with them and now we're here well congrats on finishing it we ain't quite there yet but all you have to do is break the beans all you gotta do is break the beans we'll do it 1320 miles you guys did an engine swap and in bandemeer's parking lot we did in the pits abandoned and you still ran eight what 1255 yesterday yep and uh it runs pretty good there's probably more there we just tried to go a to b and see what we got selane said he would be happy with the 13 with a 1255 he was ecstatic with that yeah bro huh yeah we made it man hell yeah well everybody pushing on us it's it's good that's what race week's about it really is adversity and if you can fix it if there's a way possible you do and you guys that's the most extreme way to do it is swap an entire motor in a parking lot i think that's extreme yeah yeah yeah i think it is it's all for this right teamwork well boys congrats on making it we'll see you guys up there in a little bit you guys gonna wait till it cools off you guys gonna go up there soon i heard there's oil down there but we'll get it swapped over and see how we're doing and then we'll see if we can do a finish out with a big old burnout how's that hell yeah hell yeah there you go we'll see you guys up there thanks fred oh yeah he uh he gets the hit and he gets the left lane that's how nice i am you're such a good guy man well if i lose uh better not lose it's a nice electric scooter man let's see better guys that's why i'm ready to get rid of it you get an electric scooter if he wins oh man oh man so right now this race if plane's dead wins lane gets to take home chad's electric scooter if blaine's dad loses lane has to vacuum up the viper so hopefully lane gets to go home with a new electric scooter 12.52 hell yeah hey you got a scooter dude you're going to get around the pit so much easier now dude let's go let's go dude that's awesome man congrats dude i got an electric scooter i told you man i started riding around on that push one in colorado i was like you're tired by the time you get to work on the car yeah yeah now you're gonna conserve energy yeah 12 52 not bad not too bad you're gonna spice it up a little bit more sauce let's give her more sauce i like the answers i like the answers let's see if dad actually wants to make another one or not yes i might do it you think a 1025 is good enough it might do it but i ain't stopping i'm gonna see what he does is that your best pass of the week that is the best pass of the week oh yeah by over a tenth damn yeah all right so and it the front wasn't even that good i felt it like bogged and pulled right real hard so all this it got off the tire a couple times i heard it so that weight reduction and arrow really worked yeah yeah very nice very nice i'm pretty happy with it so are you going to wait to see what he does you're just going to yeah i'm going gonna wait and see what he does i'm at least gonna wait until it cools off and i'll probably at least try for another glory or two all right so as of right now though that that solidifies third unless he goes faster than that nice and he hasn't gone very close to that all right yeah ten floors is faster gotcha well congratulations he could turn it up too he could just pull the 980 out yeah the car's got it it's been fun going back and forth with him too like me and him we're talking every pass we're like sneaking we're like sneaking around each other you know so it's been fun yeah well hopefully it stands if not we're we'll see i'll be up there again all right up next we got tom and aiden bailey they just put a turbo on it today and they're about to make a pass right now aiden said he wanted to put the moon boost tune in i'm not sure which tune in is in it right now but some time at some point today possibly moon boost 986 136 for aidan bailey 1104 135 for the hudson three times three times now a different blower in it now come on down to one i got you've got jokes he's got jokes today jordan all right so tell me about what all happened when you got your parts and what what to do here oh we ended up getting the uh studs from another racer that happened to have him there at the track last night and then we finished taking it apart this morning and had to take the crank support and stuff apart we had to pull the radio to get out but finished all that and got put back together what time did you guys get on the road it's really not that bad wasn't too bad yeah i bet that's that's the hottest part of the day you guys realize until we got here one of my fans was melted and quit oh that's why we had trouble keeping it cool other than that what do you think it's going to do i just opened at least coast to a9 this week i bought this thing more than i ever have i don't understand so being here is down there well i'm glad you guys made it sounds good i think if we can finish with a night we can still hold our average you want to take it we're still winner class oh nice oh yeah i think all right glad you guys made it all you got to do is break the beans but i want to see something give me broken parts i want to see it give me like a give me a 777 give me a but we made it here so yeah i'm happy to see you guys that's the win just send it down at the finish line so i didn't have to push it all the way back to this all right we'll see you guys in a bit are you guys going to wait till the nights are on oh okay i'm just gonna get this thing together as soon as it's ready and i'm ready i'm gonna go wait just send it get this thing stuck back in the box and relax all right i've been hauling around cocktails all week and haven't had to touch it three in the morning just a little early or late i don't know which but it didn't sound like a good idea yeah it looks fun all right boys we'll see you in the lanes a little bit that's a 801 with a three at 169 and i think he just shredded his blower belt all over the track there all right boss i just heard them announced you need a 1028 to take the lead yeah you got it i don't know it's tough you did 1001 what how many times this week uh i think three times yeah i mean you're i think you can do it yeah if you do that he has to come back with a what i don't have the first place or the sec i don't have uh sean's exactly but that's the spread for the most part that's crazy just a few thousands just do a 1001 and call it a day right i'd love to it's so cool to be top three the first time reaching this event yeah oh yeah you're at least gonna get the podium one way or the other good luck man he just took the lead with that now the other guy can take it back but right now kyle is number one overall in the 10-0 class all right tom what's the game plan we're gonna go out there doing a nice a to b you're gonna like to light it up no i broke two valve springs i just replaced them oh really yeah we just got got him replaced here a couple hours ago and uh was that on the drive today yeah well i don't know if it was on drive today or if it happened last night on the second run because i felt it go down on the other end gotcha and uh so when we got here the red lifters and everything that i had two down yeah cloud springs is it double valve's ring they're triple oh okay yeah so it broke both of the inner on five and uh five and six gotcha and um so that means that all the other ones are gonna start to break so i'm just going down trying to make a pass i think i need to turn a 740 to collection just to clinch it yeah yeah and that's what i'm gonna do so we're using the same tune-up that i had in up at uh kearney all right good luck to you tom hey thanks a lot chris absolutely man heard 11 17 131. look how's it it's going dude i made it first of all congrats on making it it's like uh 1320-ish miles oh that's a pretty cool number convenient right yeah yeah all right so you made it what's the game plan tonight um i don't know uh probably just make one pass we're so far out of the running after kind of getting screwed over yesterday on that whole number deal but uh we're still number two overall and number one in our class so i'm not i'm not really complaining i'm just trying to run it so it's up seven five with the something yeah basically yeah i mean i'd have to like light the world on fire at this point with the average the way the the five races you know yeah you just can't make up enough of a spread but i may not have been able to anyways even if he went that 749 and i even if i want maybe like a 739 which i'm pretty sure we could have done it's still pro wouldn't have been enough but dude i'm pretty excited this thing was a rock star this little nova just keeps rolling and competing with the big boys can't ask for much more and you're on a 275 yeah i'm on a 275 with a small block against big tire cars with big blocks yeah i mean now the other day you got to use a little perspective and be happy made it exactly let alone second place so well uh congrats on making it this far thanks dude this is a two-peat if we win tonight is it really yeah for outlaw street oh hell yeah yeah it's about a good week awesome we got a good crew chief so good good we'll see you after man seven 750 with something right okay i might even be okay with the 760. oh okay the cold beer is looking pretty good right good luck man thank you doug just pulled up he is second overall right now and uh tom attempted to do a pass and it didn't work they have the car pushed back i'm not sure what's wrong with it hopefully it's not broken but if doug makes a really good pass here and tom can't make a pass or thomas to turn a 20-second pass doug could win this thing still like this is race week anything can happen 781 178 for doug what do you think 781 i heard some dramas unfolded a little bit huh what do you mean tom's car didn't make it on the two-step no it didn't it didn't even leave the line so technically he hasn't even made a pass yet so he has to make a good pass though yeah i need to add up what i need to like what i have to run better than him see i told you anything can happen this is this is the this is the this is race week this is the seventh game in the world series right here dude 781 i had to lift it's like so bumpy on the back i saw that your front end was bouncing like this it was crazy man so i don't know i don't know i'm gonna try and maybe tighten up the shocks but like at this point he has to like make a decent pass yeah and then i'll kind of know but uh 781 is not bad for the last day yeah letting out see what happens all right we got the rest of the night right yep i'm sure you'll be up there when tom goes next locked and loaded later 802 181 for cletus standby just give me a few minutes come on come back after i run a 7 here in a minute all right dude i messed that tune up okay because i didn't have the power in early enough so like ramped in kind of hard then a haze is tired all right i'll be back when you hit a seven all right yeah i look that's bad deal well what do you think tom well it was neil bike there very first pulled up there doesn't burn out backed up and got on the two-step just shut off i mean just like i reached up and turned the key off we don't know what was wrong with them we checked the tune up and nothing everything came in when i'm thinking what happened is the vapor locked okay because when i took the fuel cap off steam just comes rolling about okay that's why i think because we checked everything out my wind started back up and then 42. i had two broken vows so that tells me uh there's uh 14 others that grow in the same shape so there's no sense of hurting it right gotcha i'd rather freshen it up in new springs and all that right yeah exactly well congrats on being the fastest overall oh buddy i will don't do a hand there you go left-handed handshake there you go how many how many times have you done race week i think i've done it five times three you won three out of five not a bad ratio right there no no no we'll be back for two hell yeah i got it i mean there's gonna be a lot of hard hitters oh yeah oh yeah you know just a real nice guy i didn't know who he was and we stand over and he congratulated me because yeah i just got too much power for small tires we're gonna yeah well congrats we'll see you at the award ceremony thank you sir absolutely 7.95 at 175 for cletus he got a seven told you fred you did tell me you said come back you said come back and i'll do a seven next time dude what you know what it was just up there ten mile an hour down so what it was is i have to put my hat backwards i have to put this water ball in my back pocket yeah and then it works it was the second time i took it out that's the problem it is that's that's the issue right there like that pocket wasn't the four link wasn't the tune it was hat and hat bottle water bottle yeah every time definitely not the four-length we are the four-length brothers we know exactly what we're doing exactly don't let anyone tell you differently right and i don't know how to set a point honestly you give us 12-bat mountain dude a couple hot dogs come it's a pathetic little 7.95 it was a seven seven it was a seven yep that's the way to close out the rocky mountain raceway it couldn't be any better all right mia i want around six six next year yep let's make that happen we're making it happen we gotta get we're learning i think we're gonna get a rear end of the car yeah then we can swap in that big tire on it oh really because i mean it's it's proof in the footing all the guys on the radials travel these dudes with the gigantic tire they make it happen look at tommy so we'll see you guys at awards all right what's up we're gonna bro out this round yeah i was about safe last pass wasn't exactly strong so no so what are we doing this time uh disabling knock control okay so the transmission was creating a knock frequency and basically creating ignition cup oh so the transmission basically is just my worst nightmare i'm my own worst enemy gotcha so disabled that and now it revs normal before it would have like a really bad maybe break yeah break a spot and then get past it now it doesn't do that pretty confident good luck man not stellar passes for either one we got an 1102 for meltdown and a 14-21 for the rotary hey should i lock it what the hell are you doing hey there's not a dull moment there's nothing you won't race right never i will race everybody i uh we were the guys actually set it up and they're like hey uh that coder home over there thinks he can take you here's right there the charity that you can raise the money for all week so uh hopefully we've got enough friends to go around and raise some money for the for the race entertain the crowd with it i don't know what he's dropped i haven't all right we'll figure it out all right hey good luck are you going to gap him what's that are you going to gather i'm going to try to i think you got the bigger engine it's going to be fun this is the computer it's got to be faster than that freightliner right yeah all right this is wild looks like that peterbilt's gonna come up around him i think chet's got it got it chad's got it this could be the slowest race of the week i know these times she got him check got him a 26 to a that's 27. what do you think jason we did everything we wanted to do hell yeah this is the most happy you've ever been after a race week oh here we go i i don't know if it's happy or just relieved it's over i don't have i can drive home tomorrow with my cooled seats on oh yeah let's not be sweating my ass off all day did you get the average you wanted 136 on the second time i don't know what that turns into for the whole week but i was like you give it up for dinner as well i guess except awesome congrats man thank you is this the truck that was doing a head gasket at the top end of the track yesterday yes sir glad to see you actually a whole head oh a whole head yeah we torched ahead damn we're glad to see you guys made it yeah how when'd you guys get here um about six oh okay yeah did you have to get parts this morning or yeah we had to find a guy that had some ls3 heads glad to see you guys made it very good thank you hell yeah here comes that lifted square body that had to change his heads at the top end of the track in kearney i went up there at top of the track and they were just sitting there under the hood with tools all around them and that's literally about a half mile away from the pits they had a rough day yesterday but they're about to make a pass and uh it was pretty rowdy last time so we'll see what the hell 11 21 at 123 for the barn door that truck is cool that is that should not be doing that that's freaking cool lift it too it's got to be a handful to drive all right all right oh what is this oh are the mountains blue i love blue or his life christian hell yeah all right all right you you did the the what the 1002-1 yep and for about three minutes you were in the lead yep and then on the return note i got my time slip and i heard him announce shawn's name so i just stopped waited did he do 003 without some oh oh something that dude earned it for sure he said he's never won a race before really so well you think he's a bracket racer so happy that he won because he yeah he killed it i'm second yeah first time at race week and your second yeah i mean you've you've had practice watching people do it and knowing taking notes and stuff but they're pretty good it was amazing i wouldn't i wouldn't change the thing i'm like someone asked me like what would you do next you're like i'm not gonna bring it i don't think because it's pretty rough on that car pretty expensive car but it was
