00:00This season at O-Prep Kings, we are mixing it up.
00:03You know, money's up this year, the pots are bigger, the cars are faster.
00:08There's two separate championships.
00:10On Fridays, the top eight in points will compete for $10,000.
00:15It's not a team deal no more on the grade eight.
00:17As far as Friday nights, it's just a dog-eat-dog deal.
00:22More importantly, points towards that individual championship for $100,000.
00:28Woo!
00:30A million ways to lose, only one way to win.
00:33The best of the best are competing for big money.
00:36Aw, this is going to be tough.
00:37It's a pressure, though.
00:38When you're into grade eight, there are no ducks.
00:40And it kicks off right now.
00:45Welcome to No-Prep Kings, baby.
00:56Virginia Motorsports Park, how y'all doing today?
00:59We're good.
00:59We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park for the great eight.
01:06Tonight, eight of our fastest drivers will compete for $10,000 and a chance to win the
01:11great eight championship.
01:13Just like last year, the top eight in points will compete for a lot of cash.
01:17But this time, they're also getting points towards that individual championship.
01:21Here's how it works.
01:21If you win the great eight, you get 10 points.
01:24Plus, you also get $10,000.
01:26If you run her up, you get seven.
01:28And if you make it to the semifinals, you will get three.
01:31Those points go towards an individual championship that will be worth $100,000 at the end of the season.
01:36We have your great eight drivers.
01:39Ryan Martin, Scott Taylor, Taylor Morton, David Gates, Daddy Dave, Kai Kelly, Chuck 55, and Mike Bowman.
01:48This race is almost more pressure than the last race we're racing for points today.
01:53So basically, we're starting from scratch.
01:55Now we have an individual championship playing into this race.
01:59So we have to accumulate points tonight for ourselves and then also accumulate points tomorrow for our team.
02:05So we're going to have a drawing to see the pairings for great eight.
02:13That one just fell in my hand.
02:16Look at Scott Taylor just doing the old Kai Kelly hangback.
02:19I ain't been that way.
02:22All my drivers have their chips.
02:24Where are my number one?
02:27Daddy Dave and Kai Kelly.
02:30First pair in the great eight.
02:33Number two.
02:34David Gates and Ryan Martin.
02:40David Gates and Ryan Martin.
02:44Number three.
02:45Oh, my God.
02:46Chuck 55 and Mike Bowman.
02:49Man, I told you.
02:50We jinxed ourselves.
02:51We jinxed ourselves.
02:52Our fourth and final pair will be a rematch from the finals.
02:56And last week, it will be Scott Taylor versus Kaylin Morton.
03:00Good luck.
03:01Great eight drivers.
03:03Go back to the pits.
03:04Get your cars ready.
03:05Get ready to put them in the lanes.
03:06I get it.
03:27Left.
03:30Everybody seems to be going down the left.
03:32Everybody seems to be shaking in the right.
03:34During the chip draw at grade eight, I got Kai Kelly.
03:37If anybody knows, me and Kai go way back to when this all started.
03:41And it's been back and forth battle over the last 15 years.
03:44Hey, I gave you everything you had.
04:01Good job.
04:03That's what you need to do to win.
04:04See what he did to my car?
04:06He signed it.
04:07I'm not sure what happened.
04:08What is that?
04:08Put number two.
04:09I think a bear on there.
04:10I need to put number two on there.
04:13I think I got a car to beat.
04:14And I don't think he's got his quite figured out yet.
04:16So I'm really looking forward to this race.
04:18We've been using the Chevy 2 for, you know, for five seasons.
04:22And if you know these cars, you know they're a brick.
04:24It's just a big square and it's hard to push a lot of air with it.
04:26Bob Tynan at Tynan Race Cars, he's my chassis guy.
04:29He's been over the Chevy 2.
04:30He's redone it front and back.
04:32And he just come to me and said, hey, let's build a car for MPK, one that can compete,
04:36one that's aerodynamic, you know, and stop pushing all this air and let's actually go
04:40fast.
04:41So I gave Bob the checkbook and the Audi is what he came up with.
04:45It's aerodynamic.
04:46It fits the big tire that we're allowed.
04:48So I got a lot of expectations for this car.
04:51And I'm super excited to get this thing out and see what it will do.
04:57Huh?
04:59Where is it at?
05:02Did you take it out?
05:04My name's Kai Kelly and I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana.
05:07I've been to work for five seasons straight now and the only thing we hadn't captured is
05:10the number one spot.
05:12For some reason, couldn't get it done the last three years in a row.
05:15I finished number two.
05:18Kai Kelly has to win right here.
05:21If Jim Howe beats him, that is it.
05:25Brian Martin will be your champion.
05:32And Jim Howe takes the win.
05:37Jim Howe takes the win.
05:40That's a good one, man.
05:42It was a good one.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I wanted you to win this trophy, Jim, but I couldn't.
05:45Hey, man.
05:46I couldn't do anything.
05:46I don't want you to lay down for it.
05:47I know.
05:48No.
05:48Hell no.
05:48I know that.
05:49I know that.
05:51No, man.
05:51You got a hot rod, man.
05:53Ain't nobody going to give it to us.
05:54We got to earn it.
05:55So I feel like this is the year that I can finally take on the championship.
05:59All the big boys say they use these screw blowers.
06:01So here we are.
06:02We spent a lot of money, did a lot of work, and we built a car that is built for a blower
06:07combination.
06:08It's a 87 Regal called Jenga Lane.
06:10It's got a PSI screw blower on it, new than Hemi.
06:13It's a completely different deal from what I'm used to.
06:14A lot of people go through learning curves, but we don't plan to.
06:17We've done a lot of research.
06:18We've done all our homework, and hopefully we'll have this car come out and run exactly like my
06:22nitrous car does and keep getting faster.
06:25So we're out here at Virginia Motorsports Park.
06:27Everybody knows this is probably my favorite track I've won here the last two years.
06:36Race number eight.
06:38No prep keys.
06:39Championship trophy there.
06:40We're here at Virginia Motorsports Park.
06:42Congratulations, sir.
06:43$40,000 richer.
06:44I want to keep my record here.
07:03I want to win this whole deal.
07:04Good luck, Daddy Dave.
07:10Good luck.
07:11What do you say?
07:12Make sure you don't lift, man.
07:13Hold it.
07:14On a good, clean race.
07:16You know me.
07:16I know.
07:17You know me.
07:19See the finish line.
07:20All right.
07:21This race is important.
07:22It points towards the individual championship, so I ain't laying down.
07:27I'm looking to win this deal.
07:41It's the best of both worlds this year at No Prep Kings.
07:43Fighting by yourself one day.
07:45You can be on a team the next day.
07:46I mean, you can't ask for no better.
07:48So David drawing Ron, me drawing Dave, they had to be drawn anyway.
07:52I feel like the best time to beat them guys from the 405 is the first round.
07:55Because all they do all night is get faster and faster.
07:58We're having fun.
07:59We're out here racing.
07:59We're at my favorite track.
08:00Y'all stay tuned because I'm about to kick all their ass.
08:03Here we go.
08:04Great A first round.
08:06Over into the right lane.
08:08That's going to be Kai Kelly.
08:09Kai Kelly going up against Daddy Dave.
08:12Daddy Dave in the left lane.
08:22And Kai Kelly.
08:35Nice.
08:37Pass in that right lane.
08:39Turns on the wind light.
08:42Dave tried to play some staging games with me, but I'm always ready for that.
08:46I've been doing this long as you.
08:48I went up in there, popped on all four bubs at one time.
08:50I went off, nailed the tree, went down through there.
08:53I think I put about a car on it.
08:57I got a fast hot rod.
08:58You know, that thing's going like it's the final round.
09:01It's hauling ass.
09:02I think if we don't screw up, we got a really good shot of winning this.
09:05That old Buick was hunting, bro.
09:12He tried to play that little staging war with me.
09:16We got 2780 now.
09:18Y'all took some weight out?
09:19Oh, okay.
09:20I'll tell you, damn it, somebody's drinking good.
09:23Good job.
09:25It felt really good that time.
09:28So what happened on that other one?
09:30Like, I mean, what's your take?
09:31Like, where were we at?
09:33Like, I felt it on a plot.
09:34Like, it was on a plot early from Shake.
09:36And then it just honked it down and took off.
09:39But, like, it was like this.
09:41And then it was like this.
09:42And then it was like this.
09:43And then it was just back and forth.
09:45To me, but from the starting line, you can't really, you know, see.
09:48Because you don't have a side angle, you know what I mean?
09:50But it looked like it was really sort of close.
09:52I'll lose those races all day long.
09:55As long as I can look over and see the guy, I'm happy, man.
09:58So no excuses there.
09:59He beat me tonight.
10:01As one of them, you've got to look at the win light.
10:02Yeah.
10:04Yeah, I saw that part.
10:05Yeah.
10:18Want a long burnout with these brand new tires?
10:21I like it.
10:23I'm David T. Gaze, Jr.
10:24I'm from Junction City, Arkansas.
10:26I'm driving a 2014 Camaro called Showstopper.
10:29We're fixing to go out here and give it a hell.
10:30We drew Ryan first round.
10:33I feel like if somebody can beat Ryan, it's going to be in the first round.
10:36Once he gets laps on the track and gets data, he's hard, he's tough.
10:39Y'all got that blower?
10:40We can blow this dust out of these wheels, too.
10:45My name is Ryan Martin.
10:46I am from OKC, Oklahoma.
10:48I came second in the first two years in BK
10:51and won the last three championships in a row.
10:54Congratulations, Ryan Martin!
10:57Ryan Martin is your 2020 GoCrep Kings champion
11:02as Jim Howe takes out Kai Kelly.
11:07Ryan, congratulations.
11:10He is your champion.
11:12To my knowledge, I don't know if I've ever raced Gaze.
11:15A lot of people that have raced him have told me,
11:17hey, watch out for him.
11:18He's fast.
11:18So whenever somebody says that,
11:20he's made an impression on somebody that is stuck in their head,
11:23and I remember those type of things.
11:24But we got a good racetrack today.
11:27The temperature's good.
11:28It's not hot and slimy.
11:29We don't have to do a crazy heat of the day,
11:31slow it down off the starting line tune.
11:33So we're going to swing at him.
11:37Be safe, Ryan.
11:38You too, buddy.
11:39There you go.
11:40We ain't got the picker.
11:41He's in his car.
11:42He thinks we can go pick it up right now.
11:43Oh, that's cool.
11:44Yeah, hey, take your time, bro.
11:46I get it.
11:46It's all good.
11:47I ain't going to go without you.
11:49I mean, he don't make many mistakes.
11:51And if he has one, you need to beat him on those mistakes.
11:55And when you don't take advantage of them,
11:57you know, he's a champ for a reason.
11:59He's been a champ for three years in a row.
12:00He's fast.
12:01He works hard.
12:02Him and his crew over there, man,
12:03I mean, if you've got to learn from somebody, learn from him.
12:17Next pair here in the great eight, coming at you right now over in the left lane,
12:23that's going to be David Gates.
12:25Matt Camaro going up against the returning champ.
12:30That will be Ryan Martin in the right lane.
12:34Ryan Martin versus David Gates here in this first round of the great eight.
12:39And Ryan Martin turns on that wind light.
13:03We will move on to the next round of this great eight.
13:06Green light drops.
13:07We take off.
13:08And boom, I see Gates get out in front of me.
13:10And I'm just slowly starting to pull him back.
13:12And I see him drift towards the middle.
13:14And I clip him at the very end.
13:16It was a very close race.
13:20I had to look up and see who got the wind light just to see myself
13:23because I wasn't sure if I caught him or not.
13:25Yeah, no, y'all, that's a half, bro.
13:28Like, I don't mean this in a way, but that surprised the out of me.
13:32Because we made a good pass.
13:34And so when I made a good pass and you were out in front of me at the 330,
13:37I was like, oh, this is going to be tough.
13:40Man, it's a hell of a race.
13:41And to run that close to Ryan Martin, that's an honor to me.
13:43I mean, I'm basically a rookie out here.
13:46You know what I mean?
13:46I'm out here my second year and first year in this car.
13:50Hey, y'all got a badass hot rod.
13:52Good job.
13:53I'm telling you, if that was that far at the end, I'd be surprised.
13:56I'm curious to see your GoPro.
13:57I want to see it, if you don't mind.
13:58Yeah, no, hey, that was freaking close, dude.
14:01I didn't even know.
14:02Honestly, I had to look up and see that we won.
14:04So good job, boys.
14:05Hey, y'all making some great progress with that.
14:07Good job.
14:07Good job.
14:08Good job, man.
14:09Good job.
14:09Good job, baby.
14:10Good job.
14:10Nice first.
14:11Drag race, man.
14:12It was.
14:12It was very good.
14:13It was very good.
14:15To be full year and to run with that man right there that's a three-time champ that close
14:19and think you got the win or that close locked up and he give you the props he gave me, I
14:24feel like I've done my job.
14:25So we'll go back and tune it up and come back for more.
14:28That was a club.
14:30Like, he was out on me the whole time.
14:33And at one point in time, in the middle of the track, pulling away.
14:36I saw it look like he was way out.
14:37I was like, oh, I don't know if we left even or if he got me on.
14:41I think he left.
14:42Yeah, a little bit.
14:42He was out.
14:43It looked like he left and he was out and then you started slowly reeling in.
14:46We'll see what the video looks like.
14:47We don't have a whole hell of a lot of time before grade eight starts, so we have to fix this
15:00problem.
15:01I'm Mike Bowman from Oak Hills, California, and I have the 68 Chevelle, and I call it resurrection.
15:06We discovered that we've got some loose bolts behind the blower and behind the gearbox to
15:11the hub.
15:11We have to fix that.
15:13We have to fix that.
15:13That's like priority one.
15:15It's tight.
15:17You've got to remember it's on a spline, too.
15:20Spline drive.
15:21That's all it is, right?
15:28Yeah.
15:28For me, this is another chance to put some of these guys on notice that have been looking
15:32past me.
15:33You probably shouldn't look past me because I have a combination to win some races.
15:37I'm excited.
15:37I mean, to me, it didn't really matter who I draw.
15:40I just have to go do my job, and I think the wind lights will turn on.
15:43I feel good about it.
15:44You know, I haven't raced him in a while, and he'll be fast.
15:47He's stepped up this year, no doubt.
15:50We changed that plug out.
15:51Hopefully that fixes it.
15:52Yeah, hopefully that fixes it.
15:53It's all fine.
15:54I know.
15:54Yeah.
15:55I mean, you lose one hole, it's going to fall on its ass.
15:59So when it left the starting line, it faltered, lost boost, picked up timing, and then made
16:05boost again for a split second.
16:07Then when it took off, then it lost boost, and that's why it fell on its ass.
16:10So I don't know if that cylinder just checked out or what, but let's just, yeah, let's
16:16get ready to get fuel, and let's get ready.
16:18We already got it.
16:19Okay.
16:20All right.
16:20Let's get to the ground in.
16:25I just got back from the draw.
16:28We did make it into grade eight, which is good news.
16:30I mean, that's the first time ever for us.
16:33Yeah.
16:33I mean, so we're pumped about that.
16:35Cars running good.
16:37Each pass we make is going to get faster and faster and faster.
16:40We got third pair.
16:42We're right lane again.
16:43That'll work.
16:44I mean, you know, out of the two lanes, I like the left lane better, like you were saying.
16:49The right lane's got a few bald spots in it, but, hey, they're both good.
16:52I'm not going to-
16:53They're going down the track.
16:54Yeah, they're scarring, so it's going to get better.
16:56Who'd we get?
16:57So we got Bowman.
16:57Bowman.
16:58I got you.
16:58He actually went further than we did.
16:59He's tough.
17:00It's going to be a tough race.
17:03I'm going to try to cut him on the light.
17:05Get him on the light, and we'll throw a little bit more-
17:09We got plenty more power to put in this thing.
17:11My name's Chuck 55.
17:13I drive a red and white screw-blown 55 Chevy, and I'm from Oklahoma City.
17:17This is my first time ever in the grade eight.
17:19We're pumped about that.
17:21We get through-
17:22We put Bowman out, and we start gaining points.
17:25Points is what it's going to take to keep us from racing our way in.
17:27I don't even want to be on the radar for racing our way in this year.
17:31If we don't do good this race, it's real easy to slip back.
17:35I don't want to take that chance.
17:37But the grade eight, we're going to go out there and give it what we got.
17:40So we go around as in a grade eight.
17:42Not only do we have a chance of winning 10 grand, but we start gaining points.
17:46So I say we go out, wear them out, and let's do it.
17:53Show them what we're about.
17:54All right.
17:54Let's do it.
17:55Show them we're back.
17:56We're back in the game.
17:57We're back.
17:57Yeah.
18:04I have a gut feeling I think I can take Bowman out.
18:06He's got a fast car, and I'm going to try to tree him and take him out.
18:10That's one thing I can do is get him on the light and see if I can outrun him.
18:24All right.
18:25Track staff gave us the thumbs up.
18:27We're going to send the next pair of cars.
18:28We've got Chuck 55 over there in that right lane going up against Mike Bowman.
18:34We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park for the great eight.
18:35We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park for the great eight.
18:41Two drivers have moved on to the semifinals.
18:42They are Kai Kelly and Ryan Martin.
18:48They are Kai Kelly and Ryan Martin.
18:49We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park for the great eight.
18:55We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park.
18:56We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park for the great eight.
19:02Two drivers have moved on to the semifinals.
19:03They are Kai Kelly and Ryan Martin.
19:10We're here in Virginia Motorsports Park.
19:13We're here in Virginia Means II.
19:17Who are you?
19:18Chuck 55.
19:18No way!
19:20Oh, Chuck, 55, win the win.
19:32Yeah!
19:33Woo!
19:34Woo!
19:35I'll let go of that button.
19:39It went straight as the beat.
19:40I mean, it was pulling the whole thing on a pass.
19:46Woo-hoo-hoo!
19:48Man!
19:50Fred, that was on a pass!
19:52You're not on the struggle bus anymore.
19:53You're on the fast train!
19:54Woo!
19:55That was a pass.
19:56I mean, I was just sitting back.
19:57It was carrying the wheels forever.
19:58I was like, this bitch is on a roll.
19:59That was bad.
20:00Did something happen to him?
20:01He looked like he made a good pass.
20:02I've never seen him.
20:03I let go of the button.
20:04He made a good pass.
20:05We left hard, didn't we?
20:06I think so.
20:07I was, yeah.
20:08When I let go of the button, I never seen him.
20:09So I'm like, go.
20:10Woo!
20:11Woo!
20:12Woo!
20:13Woo!
20:14Woo!
20:15Woo!
20:16Woo!
20:17Woo!
20:18Woo!
20:19Woo!
20:20I didn't know if something happened or if he was, I couldn't tell if he was right.
20:23No, he was right there, but you just pulled away.
20:25Yeah.
20:26That's fun, buddy.
20:29Here we go.
20:30You want to spray or wipe?
20:31Perfect.
20:32All right, come on.
20:36Spray this part.
20:37Right there.
20:38Spray.
20:39Go ahead.
20:40What?
20:41That's perfect.
20:42You think we're gonna win today?
20:43Yeah.
20:44You do?
20:45I'm Kayla Morton, and I drive a 2005 Ford Mustang Pro Charge Pro Line Hemi called the Hot Mess Express,
20:53and she is ready to rock this year.
20:55We are here in beautiful Virginia.
20:57We are coming off a win, which is so important to go six rounds and claw our way through that and make consistent passes with no mistakes.
21:08It's just unbelievable.
21:10It's really hard to do, and I think a lot of people are gonna figure that out this year.
21:15The win at an MPK event is not an easy task.
21:24We are one out of 40 racers that hoisted up a trophy last week.
21:28Thank you so much.
21:30I hope to have the same feeling this weekend.
21:32Just keep it going.
21:33All right, you ready to do it today?
21:35Give me a fist bump.
21:36Fist bump.
21:38Turn the hole.
21:40I'm Scott Taylor, and I drive track, though, a 2021 Camaro.
21:48Round one, we drew Kayla Morton.
21:50I'm not gonna say we're 100% ready for a rematch just yet.
21:53As y'all seen last week, we knocked the rods out of this thing about 200 foot out on the racetrack.
21:59It destroyed everything from front to back.
22:01Good job, Scott.
22:02We tried.
22:03The motor just wouldn't hurt.
22:05I know.
22:06Pro charger, motor, transmission, driveshaft, rear end, and we've replaced all those things,
22:12and here we are trying to make them all work just perfect again.
22:18So you feel good 100% about it?
22:20100%.
22:21Okay.
22:22Making sure it didn't need us to dabble.
22:28All right.
22:29So what does our beam?
22:31Do we have one?
22:32Yeah.
22:33All right, well, you got a tune already?
22:34Wow.
22:35I mean, what did you...
22:36That's what I've said.
22:37This is the game plan.
22:38Yeah.
22:39This is a tough deal when you replace everything front to back.
22:41We don't have a handle on it yet.
22:42We thought we did.
22:43We went out.
22:44We made three test passes.
22:45It did not go.
22:46All we can do is try to get down.
22:48If we don't get down, we can't win.
22:50So right now, I'm not racing Kayla Morton.
22:52I'm racing myself.
22:53I've got to make it down the racetrack right here so the pressure's on.
22:57All we can do is try to read what's out there and make all the moves I know that should help.
23:01All right, folks, this will be the last pair of the Grade 8 first round.
23:10Over in the left lane, we've got Kayla Morton, the winner last week in Ohio, going up against Scott Taylor.
23:17Let's go, Kayla.
23:19In the right lane, you guys can run until it's been down.
23:23Here's the first pair of the Grade 8, we've got to...
23:25Let's go.
23:26Hello.
23:28Whatever.
23:29If you're already racing in the right lane, you can do the same racing.
23:31Oh my god.
23:32I can do that.
23:33Let's get into the race.
23:34I promise you.
23:35Oh my god.
23:36My god.
23:37My god.
23:38My god.
23:39Yeah.
23:40My god.
23:41My god.
23:42My god.
23:43My god.
23:44My god.
23:45My god.
23:46And Kayla Morton will get the win, nice pass, and the left lane look like Scott Taylor might
23:55have got out of it earlier.
23:58Kayla Morton, though, will move on to the semifinals of the grade eight.
24:09So tonight we raced Kayla Morton, did not go as planned.
24:13I think she's got my number for sure.
24:15Every time I run her, something breaks as part of racing.
24:19Not an excuse, just physical parts failure.
24:22I think tonight was a result from blowing the engine up last time we raced.
24:26This was the first time I've raced since then and happened to draw Kayla Morton.
24:31Just a small shaft about this long broke and ended my night.
24:35So Kayla's done an awesome job at winning.
24:38I've definitely got to work on myself and getting everything fixed.
24:42Parts breakage is killing us right now.
24:44And she's doing a better job executing than winning right now.
24:48That was a good time.
24:49That was a really good time.
24:51It was.
24:52I'm glad we got to do that because he was hurt in the final of Ohio.
24:57And I wanted him to feel like he had a fair shot.
25:00So we were both healthy.
25:01I know he put in a fresh motor over the week.
25:03And now there's no excuse.
25:04We had two healthy cars and the best woman won.
25:07We're about to have the very fast final four.
25:10All three of them cars that won in front of me look pretty, pretty bad.
25:14I'm ready for round two and yeah, keep the train going.
25:19Good job.
25:20Was it close?
25:21Me and Kai?
25:22From the back.
25:23Me and Kai is one of those back and forth ones.
25:25I'm like.
25:26Dude.
25:27If you look at the wind line, you're like.
25:29Good race.
25:30Yeah.
25:32Good job.
25:33Appreciate it.
25:34Take it home.
25:35Yeah.
25:36Just carry us on your back again.
25:39All right, here we go.
25:50We're going to do our great eight semifinals drivers meeting.
25:52We started at eight.
25:54Now we are down to four.
25:56Whoever wins this gets 10 points and $10,000.
26:00Runner up gets seven points.
26:02All right.
26:03So keep that in mind.
26:04We're going to go ahead and draw chips now.
26:05We want Kai Kelly.
26:06Hey, man.
26:07Wait.
26:08Maybe I should draw for myself.
26:09I didn't want that.
26:10Dave's drawing first.
26:11Ladies move.
26:12All right.
26:13Next.
26:14Then Kai.
26:15I'm probably going to take this last one.
26:17I'm going to take it.
26:18I'm going to take it.
26:19All right.
26:20Where are my number ones at?
26:21Number one, step forward.
26:22Ryan Martin versus Kayla Morton.
26:25Ryan Martin versus Kayla Morton, which means Kai Kelly and Chuck 55 will be your second pair.
26:32I've been tuned.
26:33Oh, boy.
26:34All right.
26:35I've been tuned.
26:36Drivers.
26:37Go back in the pits.
26:38Get your cars turned around.
26:39We're racing for $10,000 tonight.
26:41All right.
26:42All right.
26:43See you back there.
26:48Now it's time for us to move into the semifinals.
26:50Each of these four drivers is at least guaranteed three points towards the individual championship.
26:55Shark attack, baby.
26:56Time to eat?
26:57Yes.
26:58Time to eat.
26:59She hungry.
27:00Is that tight?
27:01Yep.
27:02Round two, we drew Ryan Martin.
27:03It's bound to happen.
27:04You have the four fastest cars up there.
27:05But that's okay.
27:06He is very beatable.
27:07I'd rather have him second round than the final, to be quite honest.
27:08I would really, really like to go to the final together.
27:09Yeah, that'd be great.
27:10Yeah.
27:11So anyways, if you do your part, I'm really going to give it my best shot here.
27:15I'm going to do the same.
27:33Chip draw round two.
27:35I get Kayla Martin.
27:36It looks like her car is the car to beat.
27:38She won the race in Ohio.
27:40She was making really clean passes.
27:42So we're going to do what we do.
27:43we do we're going to turn our car up a little bit try to make an extra good pass for this semi run
27:49and then maybe if we can get by her we can be on cruise control for the finals
27:53but we're not going to count our chickens before they hatch
28:05all right here we go first pair here in this great eight semi-finals
28:09gonna be a battle of the pro chargers right here this right here should be an extremely
28:15fast and close drag race potentially will come down to who leaves first
28:21winner of this race right here moves on to the final for 10 000. here we go
28:39and ryan martin turns off the wind light nice job ryan martin going to the finals of this great
28:58eight nice job this is the closest field we've had the entire time i've been racing this series
29:04he took in the middle and that was just enough for him to suck me in i know how close i am
29:08i ain't mad to lose like that bottom line is we got to find a little more horsepower whip his ass the
29:13next time one more tonight what do we say one round at a time man one one light at the top hell yeah
29:24guy and i go a long ways back bub i mean a long we was doing no prep when no prep wasn't cool
29:29we're top four we're grade eight first time we've ever been there we draw chips i got chip number
29:34two left lane kai kelly kai and i was been racing since no prep started down in kennendale
29:40the main thing i'm gonna do is i'm gonna try to get him on the tree it's gonna be a good race
29:44kai's car is getting lined out it's getting faster each pass as well as mine we both got
29:47some new setups i'm hoping this is last pass maybe i'll get get this one and one more after that
29:53let me go race chuck 55 you got that you got that hopefully they say he's fast i ain't got to see him make
29:58one pass we didn't either i asked him what he did and they said i had no idea so here we are we're
30:01going against chuck 55. he's always a competitor he's always fast he's good on a tree but uh when
30:06you're in the grade eight there are no ducks
30:28i'm really excited about the new car it is calling ass as we all know it's not a team deal no more on
30:33the grade eight as far as friday nights it's just a dog-eat-dog deal so may the best man win
30:39all right this last pair here in this grade eight semi-final battle of the blowers let's see who will go
30:46go on to face ryan martin in the finals
31:00so
31:06so
31:10so here it is just like last year
31:39me and ryan martin in the finals me and old spirit and ryan martin in that camaro that pass
31:44up there against chuck was unbelievable they picked them tires up out there about 330 feet
31:49and she laid down with the rod i couldn't see i was just holding on i knew my wind light come on

32:07they saw me just picked the tires up to 330 and rode them that way all the way to finish
32:11my last pass was a lot better than this one yeah the dude came in or what i think we need to uh
32:16turn this one down a little bit we probably made one of the fastest passes i felt on no prep against
32:21chuck 55. we're going to the finals i think pretty soon we'll be right there on top where we need to be
32:26good luck bob thank you man so your grade eight finals will be ryan martin versus kai keller

35:03we are down to our last two racers ryan martin and kai kelly one of them will earn ten thousand
35:09dollars but more importantly ten points towards that individual championship i got the left lane we
35:14ain't been there yet oh that's nice good is it yeah one more race uh we always say one round at a
35:20time we got kat kelly we've raced him a bunch of times he got a new car a new combo but they've got
35:25a handle on it quick we know he's going to be fast so we are definitely not going to turn it down
35:33what stop
35:41tell me what is going on what is
35:44what is the deal here it's clanging and banging
35:52listen to it roll he's got to roll
35:56i don't know do something go forward go back do something yeah here move it forward
36:05it's like rub it when we were pushing the car up it started making noise here's a crescent here
36:10yeah take the thing off and see if it just shifted by hand so we all panicked started taking the shifter
36:18cable off the transmission trying to get the thing to force it out of whatever between spot it was in
36:23we just kind of jammed it around to get it loosened up enough that it would have the gears
36:29we adjusted the shifter cable a little and it moved but it did not move all the gears of the training
36:35what happened to ryan they were hooked up i don't know i thought they were coming something weird's
36:40going on ryan was backing out of his pits and now he ain't here yeah all right i guess i'm gonna get in
36:46good luck good luck son good luck baby thank you good luck ron thanks you guys too good luck
37:05all right here we go grade eight finals heading your way right now 10 000 to win folks
37:16this is the first of the season folks brian martin versus kai kelly let's see who will get it tonight
37:46and i think it's going forward first
37:52it's a hot half first
37:54here
38:02hey
38:14And Ryan Martin will take that win.
38:43That was wild.
38:56Ryan was the one having transmission problems coming into the race, and even after the burnout.
39:00He wasn't sure what was going to happen, but he ended up making a pass and it was Kai
39:04Kelly, who broke on the line.
39:14I'm not a very superstitious type of person, but I feel like Ryan's got this little black
39:23cloud over me.
39:24And somehow, someway, I'm about to get it off because I got a high ride and I know I can
39:28outrun him now.
39:29Whatever his buzzard luck is I keep having against him, I'm going to shake it.
39:32Someway, somehow.
39:33If I got to go down to Bourbon Street and get me a voodoo doll made for Ryan Martin to give
39:36him some bad luck, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
39:39I just can't beat that son of a bitch, man.
39:41I got plenty of horsepower to whoop him now.
39:43I left on him.
39:44Still knows.
39:45Me neither, man.
39:46Me neither, Kai.
39:47Show win.
39:48Golly, I don't even know how he pulled that off.
39:49I don't know what to do about this thing because I banged her off the rev limiter for a while.
39:58It wouldn't shift.
39:59I wasn't sure if it didn't have first gear or if the shifter was so off it didn't have
40:04it, but regardless, I had to put it in second to get the car to move.
40:08So we had a second gear leave on the car.
40:10It did leave good, but it ran up about three seconds and then just banged off the rev limiter
40:14for the rest of the pass.
40:16One of the ugliest finals I've seen in a long time, but I'll take the 10,000 bucks.
40:21I take the 10 points for grade eight, and now we got to fix this thing.
40:25He just got hung up in between gears.
40:27Hung up between neutral and first.
40:29So what do we do?
40:30Replace the whole training now?
40:31Yes.
40:32I'm pretty sure we're going to be staying up all night replacing everything.
40:36And there you have it.
40:38Three-time No Prep Kings champ Ryan Martin takes home $10,000 in the grade eight win here
40:44in Virginia.
40:45Not only did he win the cash, but more importantly, he earned 10 points towards the individual championship.
40:50And whatever racer has the most points at the end of the year gets that $100,000 grand prize.
40:55Brainerd International Raceway, the top eight drivers will race for 10,000 tonight.
41:05And at the very end of the season, the person that has the most points in the grade eight will win $100,000 championship.
41:12I'm hoping he underestimates me and doesn't know what we're capable of.
41:18I tried to tell him that that car was fast.
41:22And then they would tell me the .
41:23I tried to tell y'all.
41:24We got one more round.
41:25Let's try to win this thing.
41:27One more round.
41:28One more round.
41:29Let's try to win this thing.
41:30One more round.
41:31Let's try to win this thing.
