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

34:36okay well all right so this is as far as I'm going right yeah wait a second what all right yeah see you
34:48later oh you want that
34:57he got him he got him

35:26clint feels good representing the great state of idaho uh and you're five thousand dollars richer what
35:33does the crew chief think about that do you think that he's going to be successful in completing the
35:38mission here tonight and taking home the full ten absolutely okay well i'll tell you what if you win
35:43it's going to be a good night let's not wait take a look to your right and let's reveal the secret
35:48outlaw mr damon merchant and roll all right you got a top contender here tonight that's right he's a fan
35:59favorite this is tough competition how are you doing man all right we'll just get right down to it
36:06what are you looking for three second head start to the finish line you want a bracket tree
36:12and a three second head start okay sounds fair i don't know scott taylor said it sounds fair
36:19number one absolutely not i'll just start by saying that so we'd be willing to set you out a
36:25little bit and give you the hit outside the starting line it's it's too sketchy out there
36:29that's a good point that's a good point let's do a second one one seven i'll go one seven one point seven
36:35one point one point three one and a half one point three one and a half lock it in one and a half
36:44one point five you want to lock in 1.5 seconds let's lock it in all right 1.5 lock it in listen to
36:49he's a pro he's a seven years at 8.5 mpk sure lock it up there we go there we go all right we have
36:58ourselves an automobile range i know
37:06scott sir is the starting line better than it's been uh i'm gonna say about equal i wouldn't change
37:12any power i wouldn't try to go faster i think that the negotiation went well for clint he has been
37:18laying down some passes and from what i've seen so far out of clint i think with the 1.5 seconds he
37:24will pull off a win
37:26he was generous how much you get it 1.5 seconds what the was you thinking negotiations went all right
37:43the tree's gonna be a little funny uh it's gonna fall green on his side 1.5 seconds then i get to go
37:53and i gotta run him down he's a fast car and you know we have been running great but
37:59we're just gonna do what we do and you know hopefully
38:02it's gonna be enough it's gonna be a it's gonna be a weird race that's for sure
