00:00Racing is an American identity.
00:05I've been racing all my life.
00:07Let's go!
00:09It's in our blood.
00:12Racing is everything to me.
00:15And across the country there are amazing historic racetracks,
00:19featuring some of the best local racers.
00:23One of the fastest cars in Kentucky,
00:25and I just feel like it's my time to shine.
00:27I feel like I could bust somebody's ass.
00:29Every weekend, we're heading to a new track
00:33where eight of the area's best will compete head-to-head.
00:37I'm here to beat all of them. We're here to win.
00:39Let's go, Colorado!
00:42This is as real as it gets.
00:45Regular guys.
00:47Driving cars they put their hearts.
00:49Building it from scratch, it holds a special sentimental value to me.
00:53Their souls.
00:54That is my father.
00:56He passed away in the middle of the building.
00:58No, we're glad to see you.
00:59And their paychecks in two.
01:00All budget.
01:01I see it.
01:02Bumper to bumper.
01:03Okay.
01:04All for a shot to win $10,000.
01:06I hope your pocket just like that attitude, brother.
01:08We'll see.
01:09Here we go, here we go.
01:10And a chance to take down a surprise street outlaw.
01:13Everybody make some noise.
01:15Damon, number one no-prepper in the country right now.
01:19I feel real good about my chances.
01:22I think that they might have underestimated the blue cheese.
01:26This is Locals Only.
01:32Do I need help with a 50 pound box at Spuds?
01:44We went on a Idaho shopping spree.
01:47Yep.
01:48And we came back with Idaho Golds.
01:51Yep.
01:52And we met the locals, and now it's time to meet the locals.
01:56We're bringing these to the East Coast.
01:58We're going to sell them.
01:59You got all that?
02:00Yeah, I got it.
02:01I got the...
02:02I don't have to go to the gym.
02:03I got the hustle.
02:04Okay.
02:05Today, we're at Firebird Raceway near Eagle, Idaho at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
02:10All right, Idaho!
02:13Thank you very much!
02:15This drag strip opened its gates in 1968.
02:18As the only surviving quarter-mile drag strip in Idaho, Firebird Raceway remains a major racing
02:24facility for the entire Pacific Northwest.
02:28It hosts nearly 50 days of racing each season.
02:33Firebird Raceway has deep roots in the history of American racing.
02:37They continue to ensure the future of the sport by hosting one of the country's longest-running
02:42high school drag racing programs.
02:44Firebird Raceway has been nominated in the National Register of Historic Places because
02:49of its significance to the sport of drag racing.
02:53So, we got locals only here.
02:55These guys are going to be racing out for $5,000, and if they beat each other up and there's
03:00one left over, they get to race a big tire street outlaw for another $5,000 for a total
03:06of $10,000.
03:07What do you guys think about that?
03:09These drivers are truly some of the fastest and baddest this area has to offer.
03:15And let's not forget, the last local standing takes home $5,000, and that's a once-in-a-lifetime
03:21opportunity.
03:22So, the lucky local will get a chance to race an outlaw for another $5,000 makes it a total
03:27of $10,000.
03:28The locals don't know who they're racing yet, but we do.
03:32It's one of the biggest surprises in this NPK season.
03:36Damon Merchant.
03:37You get a shot at the 405 list, that's right.
03:42The Oklahoma native burst on the scene with Rogue as 1968 Camaro.
03:50Now racing with No Prep Kings, Damon has been a fixture at the top of the pile, winning
03:56invitational events and constantly competing in the Grade 8 with other top racers.
04:00That's my time, baby!
04:05That's my time!
04:07Make some noise for your locals.
04:09Next time you see them, they'll be battling it out for $5,000 first round coming up.
04:14All right.
04:15Thank you, Idaho.
04:17Yeah!
04:27Wow.
04:28I've never been closer to the Lord.
04:29Holy crap.
04:30I'm the Pope.
04:31You're the driver.
04:32I'm the Pope, yep.
04:33I'm Terry Pope.
04:34I'm from Lewiston, Idaho.
04:35I have a 1992 Camaro RS.
04:37It's got a Dart Block Nitrous Express, two stages of nitrous.
04:41This is a home-built car.
04:43I built the motor.
04:44I built the transmission.
04:45I built the cage in the car.
04:46There's nothing that anybody else has done but me to this car.
04:49I'm Terry Pope.
04:50That's my wife over there, Dean Pope.
04:52Hi!
04:53And that's our road captain back there, Coco.
04:55Changing the nitrous jets, getting ready to do the locals only.
04:58Go racing this weekend.
05:00When I was a teenager, I raced on the street a lot.
05:03Lost my license.
05:04Didn't have a license for eight to ten years over street racing.
05:07And now we just race at the track and that way we keep our driver's license.
05:11Built in my garage at home.
05:13I built the motor.
05:14I built the tranny.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Mad, you've got some good parts on him.
05:17He's got a good car.
05:18He's got a good crew.
05:19And he's got confidence.
05:21Good luck out there, man.
05:23Thank you, guys.
05:24We'll see ya.
05:25We'll see ya.
05:26He actually will do very well out here.
05:27So I have confidence in him.
05:29But at the end of the day, his crew will help him along the progress.
05:33All right.
05:37Dude, when I saw this truck, I was hoping that he was going to be one of the locals.
05:41And he is.
05:42Hey.
05:43What's up?
05:44My name's Sam Thomas from Kettle Falls, Washington.
05:47And I have a 72 C10.
05:48It's a 408 LS motor, twin turbo, intercooled.
05:52Runs on E85.
05:53And it makes a lot of power.
05:55Top trucks have been around for a long time.
05:57Been kicking ass and taking names forever.
05:59It's got everything he needs to be on the street.
06:01Mirrors, lights, turn signals, all that stuff.
06:04My dad was very passionate about cars.
06:06And that's what got me into it.
06:07My dad used to take me to drag races.
06:10He definitely opened my eyes to it.
06:12Right now, it's pretty much a bare bones race vehicle.
06:15It is street legal.
06:16We do drive it a lot.
06:17But it'd be nice to have carpet and a nice sound system and air conditioning
06:21and make it to where my wife actually wants to ride around with me in the hot days.
06:24Definitely think I can whoop up on these guys.
06:27I'm going to make a personal best today.
06:29I'm going to take that money, Boise.
06:30Look out.
06:31Wow.
06:32Who'd you hire to do all this work?
06:34We did most of it ourselves.
06:36We were driving this every day back and forth to work.
06:38And then we saw you guys, and you really inspired us to get going and do it ourselves.
06:41Really?
06:42Yeah.
06:43Okay.
06:44It really got us going.
06:45So this is our fault.
06:46Yeah, it's absolutely your fault.
06:47All right.
06:48I'll take the blank.
06:50How much does this weigh?
06:51It's right at 4,000.
06:52The farm truck, we've got about 1,000 pounds on you.
06:54We've done nothing to shred weight.
06:56Yeah.
06:57And if you looked it over, you know.
06:58Yeah, it's heavy.
06:59It's still a real truck.
07:00Oh, yeah.
07:01I'm not joking.
07:02I drive this a lot on the street.
07:03Yeah, we drive it all over.
07:04It does have turn signals.
07:05All the lights work.
07:06Everything works on it.
07:07We just met Sam.
07:08Yep.
07:09He's a truck guy.
07:10He's got a C-10.
07:11He's kind of taking some pages out of your experience, your book.
07:14He's taking a good look at the farm truck and said, okay.
07:17But he's added his own herbs and spices.
07:19But out here, these racers are going to know him.
07:22And he's not going to be able to fool as many people as he could on the street.
07:27All right.
07:28Locals only.
07:29Round one.
07:30Coming at you, Idaho.
07:31This is Sam in the C-10 pickup truck.
07:34One of farm truck's favorites.
07:36As you can already tell, farm truck style.
07:39Versus this Camaro.
07:40Pretty cocky guy here in this Camaro.
07:42Looks like he's an index racer.
07:44He's going to be deadly on that tree.
07:46All right.
07:47Nice burnout.
07:48I'm feeling good.
07:49We're very, very similar in the speeds we run.
07:50We should be pretty dang good.
07:51We're a little faster than he is.
07:52So we think we can take him as long as the car runs good.
07:53Here we go.
07:54Locals only.
07:55Locals only.
07:56This is Camaro in the riding lane.
07:57The truck that didn't get it done.
07:59No, no, no.
08:00I'm feeling good.
08:01We're very, very similar in the speeds we run.
08:02We should be pretty dang good.
08:03We're a little faster than he is.
08:04So we think we can take him as long as the car runs good.
08:07Here we go.
08:08Locals only.
08:09It's the Camaro in the riding lane.
08:22The truck didn't get it done.
08:24It's broken.
08:28What's up?
08:29Something happened.
08:33You start cooling it down?
08:34Yeah, start cooling it down.
08:35Let's get that scoop off.
08:37Okay.
08:37Half-inch wrench.
08:38It backfired down there when I started.
08:40I think it bent a throttle blade.
08:41We did good.
08:42At the other end, we stopped, turned the car off.
08:44I think there was still some nitrous in the manifold.
08:46When I started back up to come back up here, it backfired,
08:48and it bent the throttle blades in my other carburetor.
08:51So we're just swapping the carb out to get back out there for a second round.
08:55Hell yeah!
09:06Hell yeah, dude.
09:07I'm not familiar with the body style.
09:10It's like a baby Chevelle is what I kind of refer to it as.
09:13But it's a 1978 Buick Skyline.
09:15Kick-ass, man.
09:16Wow.
09:17It's unique.
09:17Okay.
09:18Yeah, I've had it since I was 18,
09:20and it's gone through, like, four different motors.
09:23My name is Landon Lee.
09:25I'm from Twin Falls, Idaho, just a couple hours from here.
09:28My car is a 1978 Buick Skylark.
09:31There's not very many of them floating around.
09:33This car is surprisingly quick.
09:36I've won a couple events local.
09:38This is my first no-prep track event.
09:42A little bit of pressure for the 10 grand.
09:45I'm going to have to make my wife happy with some of it,
09:48but I think the car is going to end up a little bit faster
09:50if we get our hands on that cab.
09:52Well, this is a total street car.
09:55Yeah, I drive it.
09:55You even got stock exhaust manifolds on this thing.
09:58I drive it on the street still.
09:59Right.
10:00But hell yeah, man.
10:01This is a cool build.
10:03Very unique car.
10:04I agree.
10:04Built late in the 70s.
10:06Looks like a Nova, but it's a Buick Skylark.
10:09I think the car's equipped.
10:10It's making close to 900 horsepower.
10:12It's enough for this track.
10:13Except for he's got that Viking blood.
10:15He does.
10:16I feel sorry for the other locals.
10:19Intimidating.
10:22Okay.
10:23What's up, guys?
10:24Who drives the red Mustang?
10:26No, this one's mine.
10:27You drive the red Mustang?
10:28I drive the red Mustang.
10:29Okay, and you are?
10:30I thought you drove the red Mustang.
10:31This is Mike.
10:34My name is Michael Levitt.
10:35I am out of Eagle Mountain, Utah.
10:37I have a 94 Mustang Cobra.
10:40Twin turbo, 69 73s.
10:42This thing is fast as hell.
10:45I'm ready to come to Idaho and show you guys how fast I am
10:48and win this thing.
10:50You ready, Adler?
10:51Yep.
10:52Give me some knuckles.
10:53I have always been into racing.
10:55From the time I got my first dirt bike,
10:57I just wanted to always go fast.
10:59In high school, I started racing cars.
11:01Obviously, they were slow.
11:02I'd get out to my local track anytime I could,
11:05and it's just progressed.
11:08I'm pretty confident in my car.
11:09I think it's going to do well.
11:12They're really going to have to be on their game to beat me.
11:15Okay, we got coilovers in the front.
11:17Okay.
11:18Right here.
11:18Street legal over here, bro.
11:20Do you think you're the fastest guy here?
11:22Oh, I am the fastest guy.
11:23Yeah, that feels good.
11:24He says it with more arrogance, I feel like.
11:26Well, I don't need to say it.
11:27Well, hey, Mike.
11:29Thank you so much.
11:30I trust that you're going to win this.
11:31You know, don't let me down.
11:32Mike, he got a lot of mediocre leftover parts.
11:35I got a Ford motor.
11:36I got a Ford motor.
11:37Is that like a coyote motor?
11:39But no.
11:40No?
11:40That's like 1992 over there.
11:42Oh, okay.
11:42Yeah, pretty sure the good failed.
11:45He had to put the stock back on it.
11:54Laying down the burnouts.
11:57Nice.
11:57Got a little sloppy in the right lane.
11:59We'll see if he got those tires hot enough.
12:02Got that back in a little sideways.
12:06All right.
12:12Single turbo, right lane.
12:19Twins in the left.
12:23Skylark, get him from the tree.
12:26Go!
12:34But he can't get around that Mustang.
12:36Left lane, Mustang wins.
12:39Man, round one went just how I wanted it to.
12:41I called out the guy I wanted.
12:43He accepted.
12:45And I'm moving on.
12:46All right.
12:47One down.
12:49Two to go.
12:58Good, Kyle?
12:59Yeah, we saw your car, man.
13:00Old school, hot rod.
13:01Dude, from back here.
13:03It looks really, it looks stock back here.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Yeah, it's pretty stock.
13:06Mind if we look at it?
13:07Oh, we better.
13:08My name's Kyle Fulmer.
13:09I do masonry work for a living.
13:11I'm from Heber, and I drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
13:15I call it the white junk.
13:16I shot a 493-inch motor, and it has three different nitrous kits on it.
13:22The car's super cool.
13:23It's definitely a showstopper.
13:26I did like the high school drag stuff.
13:28I was always at the drag strip.
13:30My dad raced.
13:31My brothers raced.
13:32Like, it's huge in my family.
13:34My stepdad raced.
13:35Everyone races.
13:36And I just like to go fast.
13:37I always have.
13:38Nothing, it makes me happy to haul ass.
13:40It does.
13:40What's going to be your strategy to where you can take home five grand?
13:46I think I need to cut a good light, and I think this thing needs to work, and it should.
13:51He's such a nice guy.
13:52This guy should read children's books for a living.
13:55He's so soft-spoken, kind.
13:57You almost just want to sit down and have a meal with him and talk about life.
14:02I like this guy.
14:03He's got a good attitude.
14:05We had a race or a car show?
14:07Yes, sir.
14:07This is a nice car.
14:09Yes.
14:09Absolutely.
14:10Wow, look at the motor.
14:11Hey.
14:12Wow.
14:12What's up, man?
14:14My name is James Ferguson.
14:15I'm from Meridian, Idaho, and I am driving a 1966 Chevy Chevelle.
14:20I've had it for, like, 20 years, and it started off as just a fun little street car.
14:25We put an LS engine in there with a little turbo and just had fun with it, and it's been
14:30kind of exceeding our expectations.
14:32I take my kiddo in this car.
14:34We drive it quite a bit to the car shows and stuff like that, as you can see.
14:39It's got his car seat over here.
14:41What do you think about riding in the Chevelle from school?
14:44Really?
14:44Yeah, you like it?
14:45Yeah.
14:46I got a chance to kind of walk the pit area and see some of the other competitors
14:50in our class.
14:51There's some bad machinery there.
14:52It's going to be an all-out, you know, battle.
14:54Everybody's hungry.
14:55Everybody wants to win.
14:56We'll see what the race brings, you know?
14:59You never know what's going to happen.
15:00Man, what a nice car.
15:02Yeah, I've had this car, oh, man, probably about 20 years.
15:05Okay.
15:05Bought it from a good friend of mine.
15:07Yeah.
15:07It had this big, crazy engine in there, and then I wanted to be able to take my young
15:10son out to car shows and whatnot, so we sold all that, and now we got an engine
15:14that we can drive on the street, go racing, take him to school.
15:19That's where it's at.
15:20Get groceries.
15:21Yes.
15:21You know?
15:21That's the real hot rod experience.
15:23Well, it's a group effort, I tell you.
15:24You know what I mean?
15:25We got good guys on our crew that are a tremendous help.
15:28Yeah, let's meet your crew.
15:29Yeah, let's do it.
15:30All right.
15:30Where are they at?
15:31All right, here's the crew.
15:32So, Mr. Joel Road.
15:34How you doing, Joel?
15:35Yeah.
15:35Yes, sir.
15:36Here's our crew.
15:37We got Kevin.
15:37Come on over here, Kev.
15:38What about these two?
15:39Yeah.
15:40No, that's Kevin's sons.
15:41Okay.
15:42Blake.
15:42Yeah, come on in.
15:43Let's do it.
15:44Yeah.
15:44Nice to meet you.
15:44All right, Kev.
15:45Yeah, nice to meet you.
15:46Kevin, how you doing?
15:47Hey.
15:47Yeah?
15:48Hi, Kev.
15:48Hey, hey, man.
15:50Yeah, I didn't most of the work.
15:52Get off.
15:54You're not a crew member.
15:55I'm sorry.
15:55You're my crew member.
15:56I just like the car.
15:58I'm just going to call that guy good hair.
16:01Oh, good hair.
16:01He had some good hair.
16:03Yeah, James good hair.
16:03And that's how he'll be remembered.
16:05Well, his hair matches his car.
16:07Oh, yes.
16:08You know what I'm saying?
16:08Yes.
16:08They were clean.
16:09I think this is a great opportunity for him to show off his craftsmanship.
16:13His team gets to be involved.
16:15It gives the family something to do.
16:17I think he's going to make everybody proud here at Locals Only.
16:30All right.
16:32Next up, we got a couple of old school muscle cars.
16:36I'm really excited about this matchup.
16:38Let's see what happens.
16:44Nitrous in the right lane.
16:45Couple of kits.
16:46Turbo in the left.
17:02It's all in the right lane.
17:04The Mopar gets him on the tree and all the way out the back door.
17:13Round one's good.
17:14Car went.
17:15It ate.
17:15It popped a little.
17:16But we made it.
17:18A little slow.
17:19The nitrous bottle was leaking pretty bad.
17:21So it wasn't full power.
17:24But we made it.
17:25It ran good.
17:26Maybe just a little more power.
17:28You know what I mean?
17:29Like I think it can take quite a bit more.
17:30I don't know if you draw any of those other guys.
17:33Next round, we're going to need all three kids.
17:35Yeah.
17:35Wow.
17:47Everything all right, man?
17:48I saw you scrambling a little bit there.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Yeah.
17:51I was, uh, we went up for our first hit in small tire and it annihilated the tires.
17:56Okay.
17:57And I wanted to get another test hit just to make sure we had something.
18:00Okay.
18:00And we do.
18:02Hi, I'm Clint Stoneham.
18:04I'm from Clinton, Utah.
18:05I have a Datsun.
18:07It's a 1974 260Z.
18:09It's got a stock block six liter truck motor in it with a twin turbo.
18:13Car's called Unnatural Aspiration because it's turbocharged and it's going to go fast.
18:18I'm a retired Air Force veteran.
18:2126 years.
18:21The car with a twin turbo LS making upwards of 1,300, 1,400 horsepower.
18:29But overall, the car from the windshield forward is stock.
18:33So I got my racing starts in the streets of Japan.
18:37I came back to the States, did a little bit of street racing, but that's when I really started
18:40hitting the tracks because in the States, the cops aren't as friendly as they are in
18:45Japan.
18:46I want to show you guys that this is the car to beat.
18:48Right on.
18:49And I'm going to take home the money from the street outlaw too.
18:51Right on.
18:51Right on, man.
18:52Yeah, that's right.
18:53Okay.
18:53Well, I think you have one of the most put together race cars here.
18:59And you have one of the best crew chiefs on the property.
19:03My wife, Kimberly.
19:04Yeah.
19:04My entire pit crew is my wife.
19:07She'll be lining me up.
19:08She's awesome.
19:09She supports every aspect of our racing program.
19:12We raced last weekend.
19:13We're racing this weekend.
19:14We've got two more to go.
19:15And then we go on vacation.
19:16All right.
19:16Appreciate it.
19:17All right, man.
19:18All right.
19:18All right.
19:18This car is awesome.
19:20Straight out of Japan.
19:21All right.
19:22He's even got the mirrors and the fenders.
19:24I'm just going to let you go on this one.
19:25You know what I'm saying?
19:26The Japanese said, you know what?
19:27If you're going to take this car, I want you to put a big American muscle.
19:31And that's what he did?
19:33And then the next thing you know, he's on locals only.
19:36This is my guy right here.
19:40You chose the right corner.
19:41All right.
19:42My name is Evan Blargen.
19:44I'm coming from West Road, Utah.
19:46I drive a 94 Mustang Cobra.
19:49The engine that's in my hood right now, it's an LS swap.
19:52Just like about every other Mustang out here, probably.
19:54This is what I call the Mudblood Cobra.
19:57Feared by many, beat by a few.
20:00It's a real street car.
20:01See that?
20:03See no parachute?
20:04Street cars aren't any parachutes.
20:05This is it.
20:07This is how it's going to win.
20:09Pay up, suckas.
20:11As a kid, Mustangs were always my favorite car.
20:13And so naturally, that's what I chose for my platform.
20:16I'm here with my wife and two kids.
20:17And they're my pit crew here today.
20:18So it's definitely a competitive field.
20:20But I don't think I'm too worried.
20:22I'm confident in my car and what it can do.
20:25I've sold this car three times and bought it back twice.
20:28Okay.
20:29Oh, three times?
20:29This car is called the Yo-Yo.
20:31It keeps coming back.
20:33Okay.
20:33All right.
20:34Sold it three times.
20:35Do you think you're the fastest guy here?
20:37I have to say that, don't I?
20:39You can't do it.
20:39No.
20:39Well, it feels good.
20:41You can say that with confidence.
20:42If I send that energy out there, it might come true.
20:45There you go.
20:47Thank you very much.
20:48Nice to meet you guys.
20:49I appreciate it, man.
20:50Evan's got the best of the best.
20:53You're right.
20:53Right?
20:53Yeah.
20:54That LS Power, man, in a Mustang is unstoppable.
20:59Mustang versus 260Z.
21:02This will be a good matchup.
21:05Clint in the little 260's got something to prove.
21:07Me and Evan go back a ways about 50-50 on wins, so that was the one guy I didn't want to race.
21:18And I think I've got him covered, but it's still, he's a wild card.
21:23All the way up.
21:53And down, it's the right lane.
21:56The little 260 takes the win.
22:00Post-race, adrenaline is flowing right now.
22:03Just shaking and happens every race.
22:06We're gonna go all the way.
22:07I feel it.
22:08The car is spot on.
22:10It's going straight as an arrow.
22:13I think we got this.
22:23All right, Idaho.
22:26We're gonna figure out which hometown hero
22:28is gonna represent the great state of Idaho.
22:31All right.
22:32Our number one, step up, please.
22:35Ah, it's sad.
22:37Here we go.
22:39That's out there, man.
22:41Now number twos.
22:43Step up.
22:44This is us.
22:46Mopar versus JD.
22:47So you want to give me anything?
22:50What do you want?
22:51He might give you a heads up, race.
22:53I give you the head.
22:54I give you the head.
22:56I give you the head.
22:56You give me the head?
22:57Yeah.
22:57All right, 240s.
22:58Don't hang me out.
22:59All right, here we go.
23:02And now we're one step closer to seeing which local
23:07is gonna be the owner of a $5,000.
23:12All right, give me some toys for these toys.
23:15All right.
23:21I hang back, do a little recon, nonchalant, you know?
23:27Here in Idaho, we've been chosen to be the outlaw
23:30that takes on the winner of the locals only.
23:32We're gonna find that 240.
23:35Craig and I came up doing a lot of backyard,
23:37street racing, ma and posh, you know, no preps and stuff.
23:42It's kind of our game.
23:43It's all turbo .
23:43I don't know nothing about turbos.
23:47I mean, I think he's the favorite to win it.
23:50This sucker's fast.
23:51They look fast, so let's bounce.
23:54These guys, local, they know these conditions really well.
23:58They probably know the track really well.
23:59So we're gonna keep an eye on them round by round here
24:02and, you know, win that money.
24:05I mean, it should have a big block in it, but,
24:10you know, beat you.
24:14Woo!
24:15The last round, the car ran really good.
24:17We definitely have something to hurt.
24:18We ended up backfiring at the other end of the track
24:20and bent the throttle blades in the carburetor.
24:22It's broken!
24:24It bent the throttle blades in my other carburetor,
24:26so we're just swapping the carb out.
24:28Luckily, Sean, my crew chief, brought the carburetor with him
24:30and we got that sucker on there
24:32and we're gonna go out there and see what we can do.
24:34I'm super proud of where we've gotten today.
24:38The pressure hasn't been too much,
24:39even with the family being here.
24:41They're just, they're motivation for me to do better.
24:43You ready for this?
24:45Second round, we got it.
24:47You just do your job.
24:47It's like last round, you got it.
24:51Good.
24:53I feel good about Terry and the Camaro.
24:55It looked like he was hurt in his last pass.
24:59I've opened the CO2,
25:00so there's gonna be a lot more power there
25:02and I've given it a little more on the hit,
25:04so it should be faster.
25:06All right, Idaho, semi-finals, locals only, coming at you.
25:14I heard the purple one's fast, but we didn't see yet.
25:16Right.
25:17And then the 240's definitely fast.
25:19All right.
25:20All right.
25:26Mr. Mike's moving on.
25:28Here's the left lane with this Mustang, little turbo action.
25:32Up against the Pope.
25:33It's a Terry Pope.
25:34He got God on his side with that nitrous.
25:37I think he's got what it takes.
25:42I think he's got what it takes.
25:47It's going red.
25:49The nerves getting the best of the race car in the right lane.
25:53The Mustang takes the win light.
25:56I guess we're giving stuff away, all right?
25:58He is charitable, being the Pope.
25:59So he just gave him that win.
26:01That's what happens, man.
26:04Well, that sucked.
26:07Disappointed.
26:08I sat on the starting line running so long,
26:09my transbrake got hot and didn't hold,
26:11and so we rolled through the beams,
26:12and so we just sent it.
26:14And it's really hurt now.
26:16It's coming apart.
26:18Yeah.
26:19Well, it's still running, so that's good.
26:21It was an awesome experience.
26:22We're proud where we got,
26:23just a little disappointed in the results.
26:26Yeah, I'm in the finals.
26:27That round was awesome.
26:29I just keep putting a little more in it.
26:31Obviously, he red-lit pretty bad,
26:33so I got the win right off the line.
26:35So I didn't risk anything.
26:36Just took it out to the 330 and shut her down.
26:39Woo!
26:41Finals, baby.
26:42We're going to the finals.
26:44Woo!
26:49I'm pretty excited.
26:50The car is actually working really well.
26:51I'm excited to get into this next round.
26:53So I drew Kyle.
26:54He's a fellow Utah racer.
26:56I gave him the hit.
26:58Do you want to give me anything?
27:01What do you want?
27:02He might give you a heads up race.
27:04I'll give you the hit.
27:05I'll give you the hit.
27:06I'll give you the hit.
27:07I think I'll be able to make it up on him really quick,
27:09and I'd rather watch him leave than concentrate on the light.
27:12So that's my approach to that, is I'm just going to watch for him
27:15to move, and then I'll move.
27:17Love you.
27:17You got this.
27:19I'm going to move.
27:20Tony McKinney gets the wind.
27:21It's time to move and go.
27:22If I can get out a car on him, he's going to have to run me down.
27:26I race with Clint a lot, and his car is super fast.
27:29So he's not going to go until I go.
27:32I'm going to get out on him, and he's going to have to run me down.
27:35I need to be focused, and I need to be on my game to make it happen.
27:38Last pair up until meet in the final.
27:41We got Clint, it's 2-4 to JDN.
27:43Dots it up against Kyle Fulmer in this Mopar Mopar.
27:47Don't go far without Tobar.
27:48Let's see if he can pass this around and move on to the final.
28:00All right, right lane gets the hit.
28:08Right lane gets the hit.
28:14Right lane, pop it and bang it all the way down, cannot get it done.
28:29The little 260 takes the wind light.
28:33Mr. Kyle didn't have what it takes, but that 240 moves on to the finals.
28:37It'll be fun.
28:39It'll be fun.
28:40Just can't let them get too greedy with what they want.
28:44I went in, I put my bulb on, I waited for his.
28:47I put my second one on, I watched his, and I literally turned my head.
28:50I didn't even look at the tree.
28:52And I didn't let go of the button until he left.
28:54I've never had to race like that before.
28:56My wife, crew chief, she's a little upset with me
28:59that I gave him the hit.
29:00I'm out of the doghouse now that I won.
29:02Was that one better than the last one?
29:03Yeah.
29:05Yeah, 60 foot was a lot better.
29:06The top end was better, mile an hour was better.
29:09It shook me.
29:11I think it's the tire pressure.
29:12I think we go down about another half a pound.
29:15We're good, right?
29:16It was a good race?
29:18Yeah, no, it was a good race.
29:19I do believe that I didn't get a whole lot of the hit.
29:22I believe that we were both pretty out there,
29:24but I left a little late as well.
29:28Well, that was the thing, right?
29:29I was watching here.
29:31Regardless of it all, I had nothing for a 520 pass.
29:34You know what I mean?
29:35It is what it is.
29:36Sucks we lost.
29:38I just got out round on the big end.
29:39So yeah, he had more than I had.
29:42So we turned it up.
29:44We thought we were going to run with him.
29:45It was close in the end, but I just couldn't stay out on him.
29:49If I had got the hit and I could have got out on you,
29:51it would have been harder to run me down.
29:53Yeah.
29:53You got this.
29:54You want to see the 5 grand on your hood.
29:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:56A little bit, for sure.
29:57See you.
30:01Hey, buddy.
30:01Holy cow.
30:02How you doing, man?
30:03How you doing, Scott?
30:04What's up, bro?
30:05Good.
30:05How are you?
30:06Got this hot rod rolling.
30:07Oh, yeah.
30:07Yeah, it's running good.
30:08Who are you going up against in the final?
30:10Actually, my buddy, Mike.
30:11OK.
30:12He's down on the end.
30:13He's got a Cobra.
30:14Think you got enough now running?
30:16I probably at least two tenths on him.
30:18Oh, wow.
30:18So you just got to make the trip.
30:19Yeah.
30:20That's a good feeling when you just
30:21got to make the trip.
30:22I got the scramble button as a backup, too.
30:24There you go.
30:25I'll be up there pulling for you.
30:26OK, cool, man.
30:27Good luck, man.
30:28Thanks for coming by.
30:29Yes, sir.
30:29Good luck, y'all.
30:30How are you?
30:31Mike, congratulations.
30:32That's badass, dude.
30:35Congratulating you guys.
30:36You excited?
30:37I'm so excited.
30:38You're about ready to go to the finals here, if you want?
30:40Yeah.
30:40What is this?
30:41Twin turbo?
30:42Twin turbo coyote.
30:43Oh, .
30:44Oh, my.
30:44That's fast.
30:45Yeah.
30:46Well, I just want to congratulate you.
30:48Thank you so much.
30:49Do your job, man.
30:49Yeah.
30:50Hey, get the win.
30:51That'd be badass.
30:51Local's the only winner?
30:52Sure.
30:53Didn't you get the Rachel Street Outlaw?
30:55Oh, man.
30:56It ain't going to be me.
30:56I probably do.
30:59But hey, good luck.
31:01Be safe.
31:01Thank you so much.
31:02Congratulations.
31:07How cool is that?
31:08Dang, dude.
31:09So cool.
31:11He's like one of your favorites, huh?
31:13Uh, yeah.
31:14I really like him.
31:15I mean, yellow GTO, you used to own a yellow GTO.
31:17I used to own a yellow GTO, yeah.
31:19A little brother ship there.
31:20Yeah, we saw Clint's last pass.
31:22We've got Evan's data from when he ran him.
31:24We know what I have to do.
31:25And what I just did to the 330 was, it was up there.
31:28So I think I got enough.
31:31I'm going to go get $5,000.
31:33I'm going to do it.
31:35Oh, here we go.
31:36Cars are started.
31:38Locals only.
31:40Finals.
31:41Coming at you.
31:43Here we go.
31:44Twin turbo versus twin turbo.
31:45Nice.
31:46A little Mustang here.
31:47Oh, yeah.
31:47A lot more of a street car than what we have here in the 260.
31:49Yeah.
31:50You know the adrenaline's going.
31:52Five grand and a chance to race a street outlaw.
31:54Leaving door to door.
31:56Running it all the way up.
31:57Leaving door to door.
31:58Running it all the way up.
31:59Oh, yeah.
32:00And this thing here, a lot more of a street car.
32:01Oh, yeah.
32:02Hey, you know the adrenaline's going.
32:04Five grand and a chance to race a street outlaw.
32:13Leaving door to door.
32:22Running it all the way out the back door.
32:26The 260 turns on the wind light.
32:30He is the winner of the $5,000.
32:33Yeah, yeah, yeah!
32:36I was on the trans break a little bit long.
32:37I was a little bit worried it was going to blow the tires off.
32:39But it shook a little bit at the top.
32:41I grabbed the scramble button just to see what would happen
32:43and released the scramble button because it was shaking.
32:46But yeah, it was an awesome race.
32:49Really happy with the way the car is working.
32:51We're excited, glad to win the $5,000
32:55and excited to go up and see what I can work out
32:59with the, yeah, take another $5,000 for one of the outlaws.
33:03Awesome.
33:04I know, this is really good.
33:06I'm so proud of you.
33:08A lot of our fish here.
33:10Huh? Yeah.
33:11A lot of our fish here.
33:12Yes.
33:13Love you.
33:14Love you.
33:20Dude, man, you killed it.
33:22Thanks, that was a good pass.
33:23Good job.
33:24Good job.
33:25Any idea who you're going to run?
33:27No idea.
33:28Gotcha.
33:29My wife saw Ryan walk in the pitch.
33:31Gotcha.
33:32I think you guys are throwing us a bunch of curveballs.
33:34So no clues, really.
33:35Yeah, no clues.
33:36Clues, but no real numbers.
33:37Well, good deal.
33:38I'll be up there.
33:39Okay.
33:40If you need some assistance, just turn around.
33:41I'll be there.
33:42Okay.
33:43Cool deal.
33:45Good luck, y'all.
33:46Yeah.
33:47Man, what do you think?
33:48What do you think that 240 round?
33:50Low five.
33:51Low five.
33:52Like 20, probably.
33:53Yeah.
33:54I mean, he was going towards the wall.
33:56Drifting.
33:57Yeah, he actually did a little bit.
33:58And he's probably going to get after it pretty hard.
34:00But he didn't want to get us sent out.
34:01And now he's done good rubber.
34:02He goes really good rubber to okay rubber to .
34:05Yeah.
34:06The further he wants, the more we got a game, the less he can get after.
34:09I don't know.
34:10Sneaking around doing some recon has been kind of fun.
34:13Me and Craig's enjoyed it.
34:15Kind of the suspense and just doing things a little bit different.
34:20We've had some fun with it.
34:21So hopefully we can get in here and do these negotiations.
34:25Have a good time with it.
34:26And maybe win some money.
34:28We got to give a little, but still, like, he's got it dialed in.
34:31Yeah, he's got data all day.
34:33And he's all on us.
34:34Yeah.
34:35Then it's a little fast.
34:37This will be fun.
34:38I'm excited.
34:39Okay.
34:40Okay.
34:41Well, all right.
34:44So this is as far as I'm going, right?
34:46That's good.
34:47I appreciate it.
34:48Yeah.
34:49Wait a second.
34:50What?
34:51All right.
34:52Yeah.
34:53See you later.
34:54Oh, you want that?
35:02He got him.
35:03He got him here.
35:04Uh-oh.
35:05Brr, brr, brr.
35:08Cheers to me.
35:09Cheers to me.
35:12I'm sorry.
35:13You up, dude.
35:15I did.
35:19All right.
35:20We don't even have our hot rod golf cart.
35:25You got Idaho at your back right now.
35:27I mean, they stuck around for this.
35:29You know what I'm saying?
35:30That's right.
35:31It's Clint.
35:32Feels good.
35:33It feels good.
35:34Representing the great state of Idaho.
35:35Yeah.
35:36And you're $5,000 richer.
35:37What does the crew chief think about that?
35:38Do you think that he's going to be successful in completing the mission here tonight and taking
35:44home the full 10?
35:45Absolutely.
35:46Okay.
35:47Well, I'll tell you what.
35:48If you win, it's going to be a good night for Clint.
35:50Let's not wait.
35:51Take a look to your right and let's reveal the secret outlaw.
35:54Mr. Damon Merchant and Roll.
35:55All right.
35:56You got a top contender here tonight.
35:57That's right.
35:58He's a fan favorite.
35:59This is tough competition.
36:00What are you doing, man?
36:01All right.
36:02We'll just get right down to it.
36:03What are you looking for?
36:04Three-second head start to the finish line.
36:05You want a bracket tree and a three-second head start, okay?
36:07Sounds fair.
36:08I know.
36:09Scott Taylor said it sounds fair.
36:10Number one.
36:11Absolutely not.
36:12I'll just start by saying that, so.
36:13We'd be willing to set you out a little bit and give you the hit.
36:14Outside the starting line, it's too sketchy out there.
36:15All right.
36:16All right.
36:17All right.
36:18All right.
36:19All right.
36:20All right.
36:21All right.
36:22All right.
36:23All right.
36:24All right.
36:25All right.
36:26All right.
36:27All right.
36:28All right.
36:29All right.
36:30All right.
36:31All right.
36:32All right.
36:33All right.
36:34That's a good point.
36:35That's a good point.
36:36Let's do a second.
36:37Okay.
36:38One seven.
36:39I'll go one seven.
36:40One point seven.
36:43One point.
36:44They're saying one point three?
36:45One and a half.
36:46One point three.
36:47One and a half.
36:48Lock it in.
36:49One and a half.
36:50One point five.
36:51You want to lock in one point five seconds.
36:52Let's lock it in.
36:53All right.
36:54One point five.
36:55Lock it in.
36:56Listen to him.
36:57He's a pro.
36:58All right.
36:59All right.
37:00Lock it up.
37:01There we go.
37:02All right.
37:03We have our son.
37:04An automobile.
37:05We're inside of home.
37:10Scott.
37:11Sir.
37:12Is the starting line better than it's been?
37:14I'm going to say about equal.
37:16I wouldn't change any power.
37:18I wouldn't try to go faster.
37:19I think that the negotiation went well for Clint.
37:22He has been laying down some passes.
37:24And from what I've seen so far out of Clint, I think with a 1.5 seconds, he will pull off a win.
37:29He was generous.
37:421.5 seconds.
37:44What the was you thinking?
37:46Negotiations went all right.
37:48The tree is going to be a little funny.
37:49It's going to fall green on his side.
37:511.5 seconds.
37:52Then I get to go.
37:53And I got to run him down.
37:54He's a fast car.
37:55And, you know, we have been running great.
37:56But we're just going to do what we do.
37:57And, you know, hopefully it's going to be enough.
37:58It's going to be a weird race.
37:59That's for sure.
38:00Safety first.
38:01Love you.
38:02Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for, the Grand Finale, locals only
38:21Idaho.
38:22We're going to get it done.
38:24We're going to get it done.
38:37A couple of really nice burnouts.
38:40The little 260 gets a second and a half.
38:49Outlaw Pro versus Average Joe.
38:53All eyes on the prize.
39:17Oh, no.
39:18He's getting out.
39:23He hit hard.
39:30That one just was straight.
39:32And all of a sudden, it wasn't.
39:33The car made a move to the right, and the first thing I thought of was, he's coming.
39:38And I think I may have over-corrected.
39:41I said, oh , here it comes.
39:44Yeah.
39:45It was a hard hit.
39:46I wish I could say I turned it up, and I shouldn't have turned it up, but I didn't.
39:50It was the same pass that we had all night.
39:51Damon gave me what I wanted.
39:52Second and a half.
39:53There was no way he was going to beat me.
39:57Oh, .
39:58I hope he's all right.
39:59I don't want to see anybody get hurt doing this stuff out here.
40:00We're out here having a good time, put on a show.
40:04Hopefully, he's good.
40:05Hope his car ain't too bad.
40:06And he'll race another day.
40:11How bad is it?
40:12I ain't even looking at the car here.
40:13It's done.
40:14I'd be able to cut the body off and maybe save the chassis, but the car's done.
40:18That's the risk we take, right, when we do this kind of stuff.
40:21Winning the locals-only class, that was awesome.
40:24I definitely think I was the guy to beat.
40:26I think I was the guy to beat.
40:28I think I was the guy to beat.
40:31I think that's the guy to beat.
40:33I think that's the guy to beat.
40:36I think that's the guy to beat.
40:38I think that's the guy to beat.
40:40I think that's the guy to beat.
40:41We left with a win, but we also left with a loss, a big loss.
40:44So we put a lot of money and a lot of effort into the program,
40:47and it's a shame to see it end this way.
40:55That wheel's still good.
40:58Next week...
41:00What's up, Colorado?
41:04Here's our crew chief right here.
41:06Oh, the crew chief? Step in here a second.
41:09Out with the old, in with the new.
41:11This is my first year as a driver.
41:12That is awesome.
41:14I've raced some stuff, but not this level.
41:19What do you mean, out with the old?
41:21Now it's time to see if your local can beat
41:24one of the fastest men on the planet Earth.
41:27Yeah!
41:28Yeah!
