03:15 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

03:43 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

03:54 Trees down, they're off.

03:55 175 to a 56.

03:56 Reaction time advantage for the big Mopar.

04:00 Let's see if he can keep that advantage.

04:02 Nope, he's already giving it up at the eighth.

04:04 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

04:07 1195 to a 1229.

04:10 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

04:20 Woo!

04:23 Sir, not for the Corvette today.

04:25 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

04:29 Jesus.

04:30 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

04:33 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

05:51 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

05:55 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

06:08 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

06:22 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

06:37 Car number 109B, that's Dennis Klein, 1971 Maroon Monte Carlo.

06:43 Man, that is a big car.

06:45 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

06:49 Well, race is a race, folks.

06:53 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

06:56 That Monte Carlo is making some hoop.

06:59 796, but officially, the Pinto won.

07:02 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

07:05 Coming up next, what we like to refer to as a hoodless wonder.

07:10 Old against new.

07:12 Oh, well.

07:14 Ought to catch it up to do.

07:15 It's going to be hard to catch that Corvette.

07:19 That's a lot of mile an hour on that.

07:21 Wait, there's something going on.

07:23 No, pulls it out.

07:25 Terrible reaction time.

07:27 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

07:30 Oh, what do you talk about at classic?

07:32 The Buick Regal coming at you.

07:35 Let's see if the turbo can outdo the muscle.

07:37 Whoa!

07:38 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

07:41 Going to be very hard to catch that T-Type.

07:44 Maybe not.

07:45 The T-Type is off the gas.

07:46 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

07:51 11.44 seconds.

07:53 Tree's down.

07:54 Oh.

07:55 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

07:59 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

08:05 Boy, it's a race down there, folks.

08:07 It's a good one.

08:08 I think the Chevy's out a little ahead.

08:10 Beautiful, 11.45.

08:12 Let's see how it turns out.

08:13 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

08:16 That Camaro is gone.

08:19 Camaro runs a 6.16.

08:21 It's going to be a low 10-second pass.

08:24 Ooh, or a 9.65.

08:25 140 miles an hour.

08:27 Tranny brakes are hitting.

08:29 They're out.

08:30 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

08:39 9.92, 133, 11.55.

08:43 114, very nice for the big Pontiac.

08:45 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

08:48 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

09:03 Another little Fox Body Mustang.

09:05 Very nice, going against the classic Chevy truck.

09:09 Chevy truck is Nick Robinson, 79 pickup.

09:14 Goes in deep with a double stage.

09:17 Here comes the Mustang in.

09:19 Mustang's setting on some wheelie bars.

09:21 Whoa, my lord.

09:24 It's a smoke show, but it's out of there.

09:27 5.48, looks like he may be off the gas.

09:30 8.58.

09:32 Beautiful run out of that Mustang.

09:35 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

09:56 It's not supposed to leave like that.

09:59 Never has before.

10:00 Usually pulls about a six inch wheelie, maybe a foot.

10:05 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

10:10 Here we go.

10:11 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

10:15 Malibu is out.

10:17 And it is humping.

10:18 5.24 in the eighth.

10:20 7.88.

10:21 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

10:50 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

11:05 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

11:18 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

11:32 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

11:37 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

11:40 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

12:09 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

12:23 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

12:36 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

13:05 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

13:15 Oh!

13:16 Ho, ho!

13:17 Well, that's what we're talking about.

13:19 That's what Tulsa Raceway Park does to your little skinny tire cars.

13:23 I bet he was not expecting that.

13:25 In fact, he's just coasting down through there.

13:27 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

13:34 He's out.

13:35 Look at the lights.

13:36 7.10 for the Nova.

13:38 He's got a lot of making up to do just off the tree.

13:40 Not going to be enough.

13:41 Corvette is just going to outpower him down at the big end.

13:44 11.98 to a 12.98.

13:47 Exactly one second.

13:49 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

13:52 They're out.

13:55 Mopar pumping the 4-speed.

13:57 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

14:00 Yeah.

14:01 Going to have to do a little water cleanup here.

14:04 The Continental sprayed water out of its exhaust.

14:08 Hey, we got a racer in need.

14:12 Racer in need.

14:17 We're going to be looking for some 9-inch rear end parts, gear set, pinion,

14:21 whatever you got.

14:22 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

14:34 He's going.

14:37 Is he going to catch the Mopar?

14:40 Is he going to catch him?

14:42 He does.

14:43 Go around him.

14:45 Oh, they're out good.

14:48 That's a pretty good race.

14:50 Identical 60 foot.

14:53 Looks like the Corvette has pulled away, though, in the big end, folks.

14:58 A 19 to a 68.

14:59 That's a good racer.

15:00 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

15:10 Corvette jumps hard this time.

15:13 Having an issue down there driving it.

15:17 Going to lay out a beautiful 914.

15:20 1080 out of the Nova.

15:21 That's a good number.

15:22 121.

15:23 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

15:36 Well, you're going to see why you're the only one that voted that way.

15:41 That little blue Omni is up and gone.

15:44 767 in the eighth mile.

15:48 1197, folks.

15:50 That little thing moves.

15:51 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

16:12 You can tell, but it's even laying down pretty easy, folks.

16:15 He's out of it.

16:16 Had a 116 60 foot, though.

16:19 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

16:32 The jig is up.

16:35 That car is gone.

16:38 775 to a 1208.

16:42 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

16:48 Short time.

16:51 What's it going to be?

16:53 811.

16:54 Didn't do it.

16:55 Had a 791 earlier.

16:56 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

17:10 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

17:37 Beautiful.

17:38 802.

17:40 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

18:09 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

18:11 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

18:13 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

18:16 [CAR ENGINE REVVING]

18:17 That was nice.

18:19 138's a short time.

18:21 515.

18:22 It's going to be a good one.

18:24 788, 176 miles an hour.

18:26 Well, that's it, folks.

18:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

18:44 We broke a turbo, basically.

18:47 You look on the car from the turbo up to the union, there's

18:53 basically no flat car.

18:55 Union, there's basically no flex.

18:57 It's all solid.

18:58 So as it tried to make boost, as we finally tried to make a

19:01 little bit of power to run down Larry, it flexed.

19:03 The chassis flexed.

19:04 Everything flexed.

19:05 And it winds up touching down our turbo and losing all the

19:07 boost pressure.

19:08 And here we are.

19:09 So just another challenge in drag week.
