00:00Previously on the Grade 8.
00:04We were at New England Dragway, and Kai Kelly got off to a fast start.
00:09He beat Giuseppe in round one.
00:11Kai Kelly going to take the win. Great pass.
00:14Took down Dan Merchant in round two to advance to the finals.
00:21Finally got a good race.
00:22I know. Now we know. Now we know. Good job, baby.
00:24And went up against first-time Grade 8 driver, Callie Mills.
00:28She's making good runs. I watched every pass she made last night.
00:31He's fast.
00:35Kai won the race in his first Grade 8 of the season.
00:39And Kai Kelly will take the win.
00:42He took home $10,000 and has a seven-point lead over the rest of the field in the individual championship.
00:48I was looking up at the scoreboard. They were like, no way you could tell who won.
00:51It looked close from the start.
00:52She was in front of me almost the whole way.
00:54Now, on a scorching hot day in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the current top eight in points will battle it out for another $10,000
01:02and valuable points towards the individual championship.
01:06Holy ****. What a rush.
01:11Ow!
01:12Put your hands together for the Grade 8 drivers.
01:14Grade 8 drivers meeting, so y'all are in the top eight.
01:29If we're talking about the Grade 8 points, Kai Kelly, number one right now, man.
01:34Holding it down.
01:34Don't forget, this is the individual championship, $100,000, to the person with the most points in the Grade 8 at the end of the season.
01:42Here's how it works.
01:43If you win the Grade 8, you get 10 points.
01:45Plus, you also get $10,000.
01:48If you're runner-up, you get seven.
01:49And if you make it to the semifinals, you will get three.
01:52Those points go towards an individual championship that will be worth $100,000 at the end of the season.
01:57As of now, Kai Kelly has a seven-point lead over Axeman, who didn't qualify for the Grade 8 today.
02:04There's a four-way tie for third between Ryan Martin, David Gates, Caleb Orton, and Giuseppe Gentile.
02:10Gates and Ryan are both watching from the sidelines also because they haven't been doing well in the Saturday races,
02:16which means Kai can really open up his lead today.
02:20Are y'all ready to draw to see who you're going to race in the first round?
02:23It's hot, in case you didn't notice.
02:24Yes, Bodie.
02:25I want to throw a dilemma here, man.
02:26I'm feeling confident.
02:27I feel like I'm like Don King.
02:29I've been drafting good.
02:30I got the first-place guy, second place in the team.
02:32I want to take a bet right now.
02:34A thousand bucks.
02:35Whoever Damon draws in the first round, I'll put a thousand bucks on him.
02:37I mean, Nathan.
02:39Wait.
02:40Nathan.
02:40Nathan.
02:40Nathan.
02:41Nathan.
02:41Nathan.
02:41Nathan.
02:41Nathan.
02:41You didn't confuse yourself.
02:42How'd you?
02:43You broke the rear end right now.
02:44Wait a minute.
02:45You broke the rear end.
02:46If Damon draws Nate, you get a thousand.
02:46They haven't got a broke rear end right now, so I want to wait.
02:49I got a thousand bucks.
02:50He'll outrun anybody first pass down.
02:52All right.
02:53Let's go ahead and draw chips.
02:54We're a whole bunch of weight.
02:59I don't think y'all will.
03:00All right.
03:01Where are my number ones at?
03:05All right.
03:05Pick up right where we left off.
03:06Kayla versus Damon.
03:08That's a good rear end.
03:09First pair.
03:10Damon's car is really consistent on Saturdays.
03:13He seems to struggle on Fridays, which might play to my advantage.
03:16But we're not thinking about that going into round one.
03:19We're thinking about what this one can do.
03:21It doesn't matter who's in the other lane.
03:23She needs to perform to the most potential she can.
03:26So we'll be ready for round two.
03:27Number twos.
03:29Nate and Lizzie.
03:32We got Lizzie Musi.
03:33We feel pretty good about it.
03:35We got a fast car.
03:36We tested here.
03:37I'm pretty familiar with the track.
03:39I ain't doing a thousand.
03:40She ain't doing a thousand.
03:41She got all that money.
03:42Hey, she'll do $10.
03:44She got all that money.
03:45She sent my money back.
03:46Tell them.
03:47Lock in $10.
03:47I bet $10.
03:49Bet $10.
03:49Bet $100.
03:50Bet $100.
03:50Bet $100.
03:51I'll do it.
03:51All right, you do $100.
03:52Freeze.
03:53Swanstrom versus father versus son.
03:56Oh, that ain't how it was last year.
03:58That's a rivalry right there.
04:00I drew Kai Kelly.
04:01This is the same race that I had a year ago here.
04:04I drew Kai Kelly first round.
04:06I was able to beat him.
04:07So I know he owes me an ass whooping.
04:09But let's see if we can go ahead and pull it off 2-0.
04:11And if it plays like it did last year, if we win this first race,
04:14we went on to win the event.
04:15So let's just see how it plays out.
04:17Which means our fourth and final pair will be Giuseppe and Scott Taylor.
04:23Grade 8, we drew Giuseppe.
04:25Last time I run him, he knows me out.
04:26So I know we got a battle coming ahead of us.
04:29And as much as I want to put power in it, I got to know that that racetrack's hot.
04:33So that's going to be the kicker right there.
04:35Trying to figure out how much it'll take.
04:37But he's got the same battle ahead of him.
04:39All right, guys and ladies.
04:40Here we go.
04:41Grade 8 starts now.
04:43The matchups are set.
04:47And it's a hot and humid day with temperatures over 100 degrees, which will make the track
04:51very slick.
04:53Eyes will be on Kai to see how he responds after tapping the wall last race in New England.
04:57Also, Lizzie Musi will be debuting a new race car today, Bonnie II, that her team just finished building.
05:04I don't know where that oil is coming from.
05:13It's everywhere.
05:18Look at this.
05:24I don't have a clue.
05:26I mean, but it's up here, too.
05:32Hey, it's spraying oil everywhere again.
05:37Yeah, it's just as bad as it was the other night.
05:39We had some gremlins from testing the other day.
05:42Like a little leak on the engine that we cannot find that's spraying.
05:46All right.
05:47I still think it's coming out of that damn plug.
05:49Because there's a line that goes from that plug straight down the sidewalk.
05:52Come look at it.
05:53Yeah.
05:54We're going to start cooling it down.
05:57No, no.
05:57We're just going to have to, like, kind of go over a few things.
06:00Hopefully, we find something and get that thing mopped up and get it fixed.
06:04Because, you know, like I said, these oil leaks are never a good thing out here on this track.
06:10What's this?
06:11What did you get me?
06:12Well, we got a little something new to play with this week.
06:15We have a brand new MH7 rolling engine.
06:19It's supposed to make about 200 more horsepower.
06:21What?
06:21What we're up against is this 100-degree temperature.
06:23Yes.
06:25So it's never bad to have more power.
06:28But it's not really an optimal time to be trying new stuff.
06:31Right.
06:31We are in Tulsa, my home track.
06:33I'm super comfortable here.
06:35What is not comfortable is these weather conditions.
06:38It is 109.
06:39The chances of looking pretty after getting out of a race car today are slim to none.
06:44But that's not what we're here for.
06:45I'm in the grade 8 tonight, which is super exciting.
06:48We're up against a lot of different stuff.
06:50I know.
06:50This engine burns more fuel.
06:52It makes more power.
06:53We went and tested.
06:55And we didn't get to use any of it.
06:56Right.
06:57And then today, as hot as it is, it's greasy as the track's going to be.
06:59We're not going to get to use any of it either.
07:01Yeah.
07:01Let me tell you, we got a lot of extra horsies, but right now we cannot use them.
07:05It's a hot Simon gun out here.
07:07Horsepower is not going to come into play.
07:10It's going to be tuner, driver, race, and I feel like we got the right combo for that.
07:14I'm super close in that third and fourth spot.
07:24So it's super important to do well in the grade 8 tonight and keep accumulating points
07:29so I can climb my way out of the middle of the field and towards the top.
07:32And Damon Merchant is going to get the win.
07:53Nice drag race there.
07:55Damon Merchant turns on the win light.
07:57Nice job.
07:57It was a wild ride.
08:00I stayed in it as best as I could.
08:03I feel like we've left together.
08:05And we'll just try again tomorrow.
08:08You know, this is the fourth pass on a brand new combo, so no shame in our game.
08:12We'll make another test pass and come out swinging tomorrow.
08:16That was just a good drag race.
08:18I thought, I mean, you did your job.
08:20It was like one of those things where you just looked up at the board and it could have
08:25went either way.
08:27They won't take the tune.
08:35Conditions out here are insane.
08:37It's hot.
08:38The track is greasy.
08:39What that does to these high horsepower cars is the starting line is pretty decent because
08:43everybody's leaving some fresh rubber there.
08:44You get out probably 330, 400 feet and the car wants to start rattling the tires or hazing
08:49the tires.
08:50That then in turn is where we have to figure out.
08:53That's the tuner's game here.
08:54Yeah, it's acting super funny.
08:56Like when I plug the laptop into it now, the screen turns on, but it won't open fuel tech
09:00on its own anymore.
09:01We have to figure out where to turn it up and where to turn it down so that we can make
09:05a clean pass A to B and a fast pass so that we beat our competitor.
09:09Well, this is why my car wouldn't start in the staging lane thing.
09:11Right, right.
09:12I had the same problem.
09:14You guys didn't start before you went to the...
09:16Okay, always start the car after you load something.
09:19Yeah.
09:20I think the hardest part is going to be getting out of our own way.
09:23I'm used to clicking the up button and wanting more power and in this situation, we're not
09:27going to be able to do that.
09:28But this is going to be a who can turn it down and not down too much.
09:34Oh, we got to race each other first round.
09:37I know.
09:37Good luck.
09:38Be safe.
09:39She got a brand new Bonnie 2.0.
09:42So we're hoping...
09:43I mean, I hate to hope anything, but I'm hoping she's struggling with that thing a little
09:46bit until we get this racetrack figured out.
09:48At least the sun went down, thank God.
09:51I'm like, it was freaking too hot earlier.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:55The wind coming in is what scares me.
09:57It scares me what's blowing in.
09:59Oh, you think it's stormed?
10:00Probably.
10:01It looks like all the rain's hitting...
10:02Around?
10:03Really?
10:04Yeah, that's what I was worried about.
10:06Yeah.
10:06There's so much humidity in the air already.
10:08I know, I know.
10:09We're what, second pair?
10:10Yeah, second pair.
10:11We're in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it's freaking hot as hell.
10:15We got a new car.
10:16It was in the works.
10:18In the beginning of the season, we decided to build a new car.
10:20Reasons being is because we want to try to get down to weight.
10:23I think the biggest advantage for a nitrous car right now is weight, getting down the
10:27weight, and it's so hard to do that with steel roots, steel quarters.
10:30So, my chassis guy, I mean, he freaking nitpicked everything in that car to get it down the weight.
10:35I'm going to just throw it out there.
10:36It was like literally 90 pounds lighter than the other car, and that is a huge jump.
10:41So, she looks identical to the other Bonnie car, so I feel good about it.
10:45A lot of people say new car blues, but I'm positive, and we're ready to go.
10:49We're ready to rock this race.
10:50Going over in the right lane.
11:12That is going to be Nate Saylor.
11:14Nate Saylor in the right lane.
11:16Going up against Lizzie Musi.
11:18Lizzie Musi.
11:19Lizzie Musi in the left lane.
11:20Brand new Camaro for Lizzie.
11:40Over in the right lane.
11:42That is going to be Nate Saylor.
11:44Going up against Lizzie Musi.
11:46And Nate Saylor will get the win.
12:12And that was another great drag race there between both those cars.
12:21What the hell happened on that run?
12:23What the f***?
12:25Ah!
12:26It's f***ing making a run.
12:28Keep your headlights on.
12:30Ah, thanks.
12:32Damn it!
12:33I feel like I laughed pretty good on him.
12:48I didn't see him for a while.
12:49And then all of a sudden it felt like someone just cut the throttle cable.
12:52Everything just shut off completely.
12:54Mine just shut off.
12:58Like in the middle of the run.
12:59I'm so sorry to monitor all this stuff.
13:00Hey, you're a gamer.
13:01I'm pulling through it.
13:02That's all that matters.
13:03Hell yeah.
13:04People that are supporting me, I appreciate it.
13:06And that's, you're one of them, so.
13:07I got you.
13:08I got you.
13:08I know.
13:09And I appreciate you very much.
13:10You made a clean run?
13:12Yeah, I made it.
13:13And then it like, it sounded like it should just shut the motor off.
13:15Like it just shut off.
13:17Mine shook the tires about 400 feet, but.
13:19Really?
13:20I drove right through it.
13:21I wasn't letting off.
13:21Yeah, it went through it.
13:22No, I know.
13:23I don't blame you.
13:23I can hear you.
13:24Yeah, you heard me.
13:25I don't know what happened.
13:27I have no idea.
13:28I owed her one.
13:29She got me the first time and we owed her one.
13:32So we put a tune up in the car we knew would go down.
13:35Shook the tires still a little bit.
13:36I think the middle of the track's a little greasy.
13:39But she had enough and we went around her.
13:41So grateful to go on a round two of the grade eight and hopefully earn some individual points.
13:46Too.
13:49Dad, we would have had that so bad.
13:52It's like the worst feeling when you're ahead of someone and like all of a sudden just your car completely just shuts off like and here they come just blow past you like it was a sickening feeling.
14:02I was pretty, pretty aggravated.
14:03I'm not going to lie.
14:04You didn't rattle nothing, right?
14:07No, I was ahead of him.
14:09Bad.
14:10I felt, I had it.
14:11And then all of a sudden it just like, oh, I'm like.
14:14Yeah, it shut the nitrous off.
14:15Everything.
14:16Like, like, I still stayed in it because I was like, just, I wanted to like bust it through the firewalls.
14:22That's what I wanted to do.
14:23I swear.
14:25Yeah.
14:26So there is no freaking way.
14:29Oh, that was a very sickening feeling.
14:39Get your fingers out of the way.
14:40Just put that right back on and tighten it up.
14:55I had way too much oil in it.
14:56I still got way too much in it.
14:57Yeah.
14:57So we're out here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa Raceway Park, and it is hot.
15:02It is very hot.
15:03You can't even walk outside without breaking a sweat.
15:05We were ready to get back in the race car, so this heat wasn't going to stop us.
15:07So I fixed the car because I hit the wall on my last pass.
15:10I couldn't save it from scratching the wall.
15:12I held it as long as I could.
15:15It was going to be a life or death situation.
15:17Let out of it.
15:18Gave it a win.
15:18Ain't nobody in them stands say that I didn't push my car to the limits trying to get that
15:21win.
15:22We got the quarter panel looking good, but the way it worked out, we didn't get the test.
15:26So we got a few changes to the car, no test passes, and we're here in Tulsa.
15:33Broke the plug.
15:33All right, so that means that plug.
15:38All right, see if you can get that plug out.
15:40You got this hole.
15:42Is it bad?
15:43Which, which, which cylinder is at?
15:46Number seven.
15:48You got number seven.
15:49What'd you do?
15:50Turn it up?
15:52Took fuel off it.
15:53That's what Lee kept saying.
15:54I took fuel off motor.
15:55Y'all kept saying I wasn't running hard enough, so I did it.
15:57I took fuel off it.
15:58So I, I probably, I took a sling.
16:00I took five percent fuel off it, like, seven percent, and now that's the result of it.
16:06Isn't that a pretty big swing?
16:07What?
16:08I said, is that a pretty big swing or no?
16:10I mean, I think so, but apparently it was.
16:14Yeah, I'm going to up, I guess.
16:16It looks like one of our spark plugs broke.
16:18Oh, my God.
16:19And when it broke, that's what allowed the motor to basically put a load on it.
16:24And when it put a load on it, everything else was trying to work harder.
16:27It finally just backfired and popped.
16:29That's what popped it, so.
16:30Yeah, see how it blew the burst panel?
16:36So it's kind of a protecting deal.
16:38Okay, so it doesn't blow this off the top.
16:40It blows the burst panel, so.
16:42See, that's not supposed to look like that.
16:45Yeah, we're going to put in a new burst panel.
16:46Okay.
16:48And then put it back on the car.
16:51Hey, man, we're going to need probably about another 15, 20 minutes.
16:54I don't know if you are okay with that.
16:56If you're not, you got to finish good.
16:57I'll wait.
16:57I'll stay later.
16:58Okay.
16:58I just want to be a sponsor because I like being a sponsor.
17:00It pisses him off.
17:01He has a real long face on the big end.
17:03He tries to cuss at his daddy, and his daddy threatens to whoop his ass.
17:07It's just a funny case scenario down there on the big end.
17:10We can put that blower belt back on.
17:12I'll do this.
17:12Put that blower belt back on.
17:14I think we're good.
17:14I'm just going to fire it up.
17:15Hopefully it don't leak.
17:16My luck.
17:18I know usually when you do this, the ring leaks on the blower.
17:21Ready?
17:22This is hard.
17:23Yeah.
17:23Yeah.
17:24So going up, we're racing against Kai Kelly.
17:38You know, he's got this new combo screw blower, and he's doing extremely well.
17:44Let's get it down.
17:46I think we kind of found the issue.
17:49It looks like, you know, we missed a gear change in the car.
17:52Luckily, I have parts here to be able to get this fixed.
17:55What sucks about it is I am going to be basically throwing darts at the wall and hopefully get
18:00past first round and try to get a better handle on what we got going on.
18:03Coming into the night, I'm number one in points in a grade eight, and we really need
18:15to do good.
18:16Pretty much leaving it all in the tuner's hands to make sure my car goes on the racetrack.
18:33And Kai Kelly, Kai Kelly takes the win.
18:41On fire, on fire.
18:45Justin Swanstrom, another pop down there at the finish line.
18:57All right, give me one second.
18:58Okay.
18:59Is this on fire or no?
19:00I don't think so.
19:01I don't think so.
19:03I don't think so.
19:06Ow, f**k.
19:08I'm tired of f**k in here.
19:10And we are struggling right now, and we have backfired to blower twice.
19:14We are running into issues.
19:16We lost first round of grade eight, and now we have f**king up a lot of stuff inside the
19:21motor.
19:22Bitch had a pretty blue flame coming right out the back of that chimney.
19:24It was just over here, and it was growing.
19:26I bet y'all couldn't see up there?
19:27That bitch was over the windshield screaming.
19:30Over here, it started out like this, and it went.
19:33And I was trying to get the car shut off.
19:38We are going to be able to extremely late tonight, get everything done.
19:41We're going to put a set of heads on it tonight, so we got new valves and everything, and we're
19:44going to put a set of rods in the motor.
19:45We're also going to check the transmission and converter, just to make sure everything's
19:48good, so we can get prepared for tomorrow.
19:55We're in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the last round one race for tonight's grade eight is between
20:00Scott Taylor and Giuseppe Gentile.
20:02What do you think the heat's going to do compared to New Hampshire?
20:07Obviously, the car ran sweet in New Hampshire.
20:09The humidity here is terrible.
20:11Water grains are higher.
20:12150, Ryan said.
20:14150 elevations over 4,000.
20:16Well, it's going to be slow.
20:17The track's going to be s**t.
20:18It's going to hurt anybody with a blower.
20:19Really getting into weather like this, hot, greasy, a good car is going to really show,
20:23a car that has a little bit more room for air, won't shake the tires.
20:27We've been fortunate so far that this car's got a pretty big window where I can go ahead
20:30and control the power and get away with a little bit if we miss a little bit.
20:34We'll have to see because this is the worst condition so far, so I don't want to get too
20:38far ahead of ourselves, try to keep it something we can make it, and then you still got to be
20:42fast.
20:43That's it.
20:45That's all we can do.
20:46Yeah, we're going to put time-based.
20:51We're going to do it right now.
20:53With Scott Taylor, I think it's going to take really a good run.
20:56I've got to cut a good light and almost make a near-perfect run, I believe.
20:59I mean, Scott's fast.
21:01I think when we raced him, it was within half a car or something like that, so I feel
21:05like this is going to be a tough round for us.
21:06Yeah, this guy's fast.
21:08I ain't going to bull s**t.
21:09He's fast.
21:10As long as I don't lose a tire at 1.4, I'll be fine.
21:13The weather is changing a lot, so I've got the laptop in the car.
21:18I'm trying to stay on top of it.
21:32In the last 10 minutes, we've come from what felt like 100 degrees down to what feels like
21:3675.
21:37I don't know what it is right now, but it's dropping by the way, and hopefully we've got
21:42the tune-up right, that's all I can say.
21:43Last pair of the great eight in the first round, going to be a good one here, over in
22:02the left lane, backing up that beautiful Nova.
22:05That is going to be Giuseppe.
22:08He is going up against Scott Taylor.
22:10Scott Taylor in that right lane.
22:12And Giuseppe gets the win.
22:40What grade eight's rough, y'all.
22:48Leaving the starting line, I felt like I was out front, maybe eighth of a car or so.
22:52You know, I think I led to the 330, and then 330 to finish line, he just got more mile an
22:56hour than I do, so.
22:57But, man, I just don't know what I'm exactly doing wrong, but it's just a few inches there.
23:05I think me and Giuseppe's had a race, that same race, separated by a few inches a couple
23:11times now, and ain't even one thing to say.
23:14I just, I'm a couple inches too slow, and I don't know what to do to figure it out, but
23:19like I always say, my famous saying, we're too dumb to quit, so we're going to keep on
23:25digging, man.
23:25We just, it's inches down there, but all these cars are running within inches, so ain't
23:29nothing new.
23:37We're all happy here.
23:38We got two more rounds to go.
23:39We want to win this tonight.
23:40These next guys, Kai Kelly, Nate Saylor, and Damon.
23:45Everybody's fast.
23:46All those top guys going right now, so it's going to be a tough round here.
23:48We're going to see where we stand up to these guys right now.
23:50Here we go.
23:52We're going to go ahead and start our grade eight semifinals driver's meeting.
23:56We started with eight racers.
23:58We are down to four.
24:00Currently, Kai Kelly, you are sitting in first place in the grade eight points.
24:05Way to go.
24:06But you've got some tough competition.
24:08You've got Giuseppe, who as you know, has won an imitation race, right?
24:12You also have Nate Saylor, who is hauling some serious butt this year.
24:17And you also have the current number one points guy in the Invitational class, Damon Merchant.
24:25Big D, big D.
24:27All right.
24:28Well, let's go ahead and draw chips and see who's racing who.
24:35Here we go.
24:36Where are my number ones?
24:41Number ones.
24:42Well, Damon Merchant, who are you racing?
24:44Oh, racing Nate Saylor.
24:47Wow.
24:48What the f***?
24:49Which means our second pair will be Giuseppe versus Kai Kelly.
24:55All right, y'all.
24:56Hey, you're f***ing.
24:57Will?
24:58He's got me two times already.
24:59What's that, Giuseppe?
25:00He's beat me two times already, so hopefully it turns our way right now.
25:03Now it's your turn, right?
25:04Yes.
25:05Is that right, Kai?
25:05I don't feel like I've got to run the car that everybody else has yet, so we still got him on our list.
25:10We're faster.
25:10We're a little faster.
25:11Okay, got it.
25:13Thanks for that, Kai.
25:13All right, y'all.
25:14Go get your cars turned around.
25:15Bring them in the staging lanes.
25:17Let's get back to racing.
25:26I turned your flight on.
25:27Give me your phone.
25:28Is that mine or yours?
25:31I just need to look in the pro charger.
25:33We're going to have to face Nate this round, and he's been super fast.
25:37He's been getting a lot more consistent, so that's a recipe for a good race any time.
25:43I don't know where the f*** be coming out at, dude, because that thing was- that thing's spraying.
25:47Went up this round, still had the oil leak.
25:49Sensors could be prone to leaking.
25:50You know, I've seen them on other vehicles where once the sensor goes out, it creates a leak.
25:57Kind of narrowed it down to that, so we're going to try that now.
26:00Put a little thread sealant on this one, and then cram it in there, make sure it reads right,
26:07and see if we- it's doing it under pressure, because when we start it here in the pits,
26:11it's not doing anything.
26:13It's not showing that it's leaking anywhere, so once we're in a pass,
26:17it's creating a lot of pressure, and it's pushing it back out, so hopefully it's fixed.
26:26I don't need oil going everywhere, and I damn sure don't need it on the back tires,
26:29so there's no telling, and hopefully we got our stuff together here, got things fixed up.
26:34Just go up there and kick his ass, and we'll play the teammate thing tomorrow.
26:43Damon and I ended up drawing each other.
26:44We really wanted to save that for the final, and we want to get as many individual points as we can,
26:49so we both got three points last round.
26:52Obviously, I want that 100 grand, so I want this win bad, which will give us three more points,
26:56and then 10 for the win, and 7 for the semis, so hopefully we get this win.
27:01But I say this from the start of all this, it really doesn't matter who's in the other lane for us.
27:04We're going to do everything we can do to make sure we put this Nova in the winner's circle,
27:09and that's exactly what we're going to do.
27:10Winner of this round, we'll move on to the finals and race for $10,000.
27:26Let's see who it'll be.
27:27Let's go!
27:29Your first pair of grade 8 semifinals is here.
27:47Nate Saylor, he is going up against his teammate, Damon Merchant.
27:51Let's go!
27:52Let's go!
27:53Let's go!
27:54Let's go!
27:55Let's go!
27:56Let's go!
27:57Let's go!
27:58Let's go!
27:59Let's go!
28:00Let's go!
28:01Let's go!
28:02Let's go!
28:03Let's go!
28:04Let's go!
28:05Whoa!
28:06And Damon Merchant turns on that win like what a drag race.
28:11Damon Merchant heading to the finals.
28:13I told you!
28:14Nice job.
28:15Hey, that was a bad-ass pass.
28:17Both of my guys, they went down there.
28:19That was a bad-ass pass right there.
28:21Hey, Weezy!
28:22Golly!
28:23I told you!
28:25Hell yeah!
28:27I owe Nate one from Bowling Green.
28:30He stuck me on the tree real hard.
28:32I've been watching him week after week be a little more consistent, a little more consistent.
28:36So...
28:38Pulled on him before the 60 foot.
28:40I could hear him.
28:41He was coming.
28:42But the race went our way.
28:43Felt like I got it early and he'd get it around me, so...
28:46Ah!
28:47Holy , what a rush.
28:50When they left together, I thought for sure Damon was...
28:53No, .
28:54I've seen the 60.
28:55They're .
28:56Why?
28:57I mean, they...
28:58.
28:59It doesn't matter who's in that other lane.
29:01I'm always going to try to win that race regardless.
29:04You good?
29:05Yep, good.
29:06Just making sure.
29:07It's a big win for us, because Nate's a killer.
29:10He's got the best of the best, everything over there.
29:12And he's been bringing people in.
29:14He's smart.
29:15And it just felt good to get that win against him.
29:18Yeah, this thing 60 foot's like a son of a bitch.
29:20Oh, my God.
29:23That car's fast out of the hole, man.
29:25It is.
29:26He...
29:27We put a tune-up in the car we thought would handle.
29:31It did.
29:32Our car handled it great.
29:33We went A to B.
29:34Just not fast enough.
29:35He's got a quick car.
29:37This car's so fast early that by the time you have to try and get around him, there's
29:41not enough real estate left.
29:43And kudos to him, man.
29:44They got that thing running good.
29:46Nice job.
29:47Hold on.
29:48Good job, man.
30:06I drew Giuseppe.
30:07I knew that going to happen.
30:08But at the end of the day, two of the team Bode's people has to race each other.
30:11So that means one of them is not going to the finals or the runner-up.
30:14So that's a good thing for us, points-wise.
30:16The only thing is, I got to go ahead and beat the pair.
30:19You just tickle it right there in the middle where it's happy.
30:22Then they'll take it.
30:23Oh, I ain't gonna have a problem.
30:24It ain't gonna have a problem.
30:25It just needs more.
30:26As long as it's past that one spot.
30:28As long as it's past 160 out, there'll be no issue.
30:32Right now, it's been unbelievable.
30:34Doing everything we want it to do.
30:36It responds good.
30:37We make changes.
30:38The car gets faster every round.
30:39We've been picking up.
30:40Couldn't ask for a better car.
30:42So, Kai Kelly, we've raced already a couple times, and he's got me both times.
30:46We've made the car a little faster.
30:47I just don't know if it's fast enough yet.
30:49Now we've picked it up enough where if he didn't pick up anything,
30:52it should be a really, really good race this time.
30:54Me and Giuseppe's raced before.
31:09One time, he burned a push ride up on the big end, and I came around him.
31:12He was beating me.
31:13Second time, this car just kind of laid over about mid-track, and I came around him.
31:16So, I hadn't really got to race side by side with him yet.
31:18I'm not taking anything away from him because I know he's fast,
31:20because he's always been in front of me to the 330.
31:22And Kai Kelly takes the win.
31:45Nice job.
31:46Kai Kelly all up on the center.
31:49What happened?
31:51I had Jamie a lot.
31:52Oh, really?
31:53I kept looking at that wall.
31:54I was like, I don't want to go that way.
31:56I looked and I seen that I could make it to the cone before I touch the center line.
32:00So, I just held it.
32:02Giuseppe, he's a fast car, so you get a win against him.
32:05It's always a good thing.
32:06Going to the finals against, damn, Damon Merchant again.
32:09That dude, he ain't playing.
32:10He's here, and he's always in the semis or always in the finals.
32:13So, hopefully we can keep our record up and beat him again.
32:15He got us.
32:19It was close.
32:20We have to look at the camera, but it was close.
32:22Put a pretty good tune-up in the car.
32:25Let go of the trans brake.
32:27He was there, there, there.
32:29All the way to the finish line.
32:32And, I mean, 18 inches, he beat us.
32:35Every time it's been close, he got us on the other end.
32:38Guys are saying, I left a little late.
32:39We'll have to find out.
32:40But, you know, it was a great race, and we'll just keep working on it.
32:43We'll get him next time.
32:44They said he got me a little bit on the tree, but I don't know.
32:47He said it was close.
32:54I can't get it.
32:55I don't know what happened.
32:56I've got to lean on it, and I've got to lean on it harder.
33:06Call it now?
33:08Look, I don't want to tell you all about odds,
33:10but I just threw three heads in a row.
33:12Okay.
33:13All right, here we go.
33:14We're going to do our grade eight final driver's meeting
33:18while we wait for the official word on the track down there.
33:21Grade eight finals will be Damon Merchant versus Kai Kelly.
33:27You're racing for $10,000 and 10 points, right?
33:31So whoever wins gets 10 points towards the grade eight points championship.
33:37All right?
33:38Who's going to call this in the air?
33:40He said that good.
33:41All right, here we go.
33:43.
33:44Heads is the call.
33:45.
33:46And it is tails.
33:48Damon Merchant, your lane, my friend.
33:50I told you, I cannot win a coin toss.
33:52I'll let you know.
33:53He's going to let you know, too.
33:54All right, y'all.
33:55Well, go back in your cars, get suited up,
33:56because your final race is coming up here shortly.
33:59You're out of disaster, man.
34:00Oh, yeah.
34:01Hey, I'm Damon Merchant.
34:14This is my pit.
34:15Let me take you on a tour.
34:17We got the kitchen back here going on.
34:19Quincy's makes a killer pork chop.
34:21Got a pretty good display of tools.
34:24If there's one thing I learned from running with Dave last year, it doesn't matter how big your rig is and all that stuff, you don't have tools in it.
34:31This is where I change and get ready.
34:34This is my little corner here.
34:36I got my closet, my pants and helmet.
34:39Keep all my stuff in there.
34:40You kind of see how the floor is all broke down and it's starting to pull up.
34:44Well, when I put a big car in here and start pulling up off the floor to anchor it down, it tears the floor up pretty bad.
34:52So I appreciate you guys coming by, seeing how we've been doing things.
34:55We've got some work to do to the car, so you guys get the hell out of here.
35:05That's a .
35:06It's coming.
35:07The bottom of that rag on that corner is covered.
35:09Holy .
35:10It's right here.
35:11Yeah, there's one on this side, too.
35:13Yeah, there's a puddle on this side.
35:15There's something that's not tight.
35:18That's a lot of wool, but we have no idea where it's coming from.
35:21This is not good.
35:22We're right now.
35:24We were dealing with a little bit on a firewall and kind of back around the back china rail.
35:30This time, soaked the entire intake and everything around it on the blower.
35:35Like, honestly, probably lucky I didn't quad the car up out there and die.
35:40That'll be a big splash back here.
35:42Oh, we sure do.
35:43Yeah.
35:44We've got a wool all over the bottom of the elbow on that side.
35:47We've got a wool right up here.
35:49Looks like it came right up here.
35:50Oh, OK.
35:51OK.
35:52.
35:53We've been constantly chasing this oil leak that just keeps coming up.
35:57We don't find it exactly what it is and take care of it.
36:01It's going to be hard to let go of that button, I'm going to tell you that, because we put everything into that car.
36:06So, you know, I can't take the chance of, you know, wadding it up or hurting myself or killing myself out there.
36:12So, we've got to find this issue before we can go any further.
36:15That taps into the oil passage out of the head.
36:17All right.
36:18Let's see what we got.
36:19You ready?
36:20There it is.
36:21Oh, wow.
36:22Yeah.
36:23OK.
36:24All right.
36:25Let's get it up in the air so we can get the, so we can start cleaning it up.
36:29Right out in plain sight, there's a bolt missing in the intake, which goes down into the oil galley in the head.
36:41So, it looks like that might be it.
36:44We're going to throw a bolt in it, re-pressurize it, make sure we don't hear anything funny, and go with it from there, I guess.
36:51All right.
36:52Let's see what we got.
36:53You ready?
36:54Yeah.
36:55OK.
36:56We're going to put some air to it.
36:57Ready?
37:02See nothing.
37:04See no bubbles.
37:09I think we're good.
37:10I think we're good.
37:11All righty, guys.
37:12Since we found the issue, got it fixed, checked everything out, everything's good to go.
37:16The car's been giving us a lot of trouble, but to be honest, I've felt confident every round.
37:21The car's been running a little bit better and a little bit better, kind of getting our heads wrapped around the combination, what it wants, what it needs.
37:27This is our time, and no better place to kick guy's ass than right here in Oklahoma.
37:31Going into the finals, I got Damon Merchant.
37:34He's a familiar face.
37:35I've been to two or three finals with him this year already, so he's a newcomer.
37:41You know, he don't really race with a big budget.
37:44I think he's really only got one motor, so the last four times we raced, he had technical difficulties three times, and we actually got the race once, head up.
37:51And his car's fast, and he's in the semis or the finals every week, week in and week out.
37:56All right, here we go.
37:58Grade 8 finals for $10,000 headed your way.
38:04So this is your Grade 8 finals, $10,000 to win over in the left lane.
38:19David Merchant going up against Kai Kelly, the winner.
38:24We'll get the $10,000 and the 10 points for the Grade 8 championship.
38:34And Damon Merchant will get the win.
38:59Kai Kelly has the shootout early.
39:02Damon Merchant with the drive-by gets the win.
39:09.
39:11.
39:13.
39:14.
39:15That's my time, baby.
39:16That's my time.
39:19Whoo!
39:22He went right in like I figured he would.
39:24Followed him right in, and pretty sure I got him on the line.
39:29I've never seen him after that.
39:35I knew once we had him then that it was going to take him running us down, and I just didn't think he was going to get it done this time.
39:41Was it a good race?
39:42Uh-uh.
39:43Did you get to see it?
39:44Yeah.
39:45Did you get to see all of it?
39:46How'd it go?
39:47Good.
39:48Did it look good from your view?
39:49Yeah.
39:50See that wind light come on?
39:51Yeah.
39:52I got to stand on an ice chest in the middle.
39:54Ah, cool.
39:55Hell yeah.
39:56The game plan worked.
39:59I mean, we just worked our ass off all day in the heat trying to get this done, and we made it happen tonight.
40:04That's what hometown looks like.
40:21Like homegrown hometown.
40:23This is what you get.
40:25That's it for the great eight here in Tulsa, and Damon comes away with his first great eight win.
40:34He's pocketing $10,000 and gains 10 points to his individual championship points total.
40:40But Kai still has a commanding lead with 27 points, while there's a three-way tie for second place with 13 points.
40:51Next week.
40:52It's broken two places.
40:54All that was a shot.
40:55I carry none of that.
40:57Damon goes for another great eight win.
41:00Kai Kelly is behind nobody in the great eight right now.
41:03Can we start calling me gold medal?
41:05While Kai looks to extend his points lead even more.
