00:00:00The winners on Team Kai were out by round two.
00:00:03Here's your chance to make a comeback.
00:00:06That gave other teams the chance to go some rounds
00:00:09and close the gap.
00:00:10And boy, did they.
00:00:13The biggest win went to Ryan Martin,
00:00:15who won his first invitational race of the season.
00:00:19Woo!
00:00:21Congratulations, Ryan Martin and his team.
00:00:25There you go, brother. You earned it.
00:00:27He moved his team back into third place,
00:00:29just 140 points out of first.
00:00:31But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.
00:00:38Here we go.
00:00:50Michigan.
00:00:51How y'all doing today?
00:00:53A little damp.
00:00:56A little damp.
00:00:57Yeah.
00:00:58Hey, look, we're going to be dodging this stuff all day long, y'all.
00:01:01But look, I will tell you one thing.
00:01:03We're going to try our best to get this track dry.
00:01:06If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around
00:01:08and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.
00:01:11But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started,
00:01:13get some racing in, and try to beat this weather.
00:01:17We are here today at US 131 in Michigan.
00:01:21This is the first time for us at this track.
00:01:23With the weather being kind of weird, cold and wet,
00:01:26what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass,
00:01:30and they get data, and then the track conditions
00:01:32can change completely.
00:01:34When it rains, they have to come back,
00:01:36wait for the track to dry.
00:01:37All that data they got is now gone.
00:01:40It's useless.
00:01:41We're getting a late start today because of the rain,
00:01:44which may mean we only get through
00:01:46the first round of racing tonight,
00:01:48and we'll have to come back and finish tomorrow.
00:01:51Yeah, Ryan Martin, winner of last week's event,
00:01:56got his first invitational win of the season.
00:01:59Comeback starts now.
00:02:01That's right.
00:02:02That's right.
00:02:03Right now.
00:02:04Right now.
00:02:05Coming into this race,
00:02:06Kai Kelly is still sitting number one in points,
00:02:08but for the last three weeks,
00:02:10they have struggled.
00:02:12And as we're getting closer to the end of the season,
00:02:14it sounds like all of the captains
00:02:16have spent a lot of time on the phone this week
00:02:18working out potential trades and deals of all kinds.
00:02:23There's a couple of teams that know
00:02:26they don't have a shot at winning.
00:02:28Yep.
00:02:29And, you know, every team's got a couple
00:02:30of decent guys in it.
00:02:31You know?
00:02:32And then after that, it goes, you know?
00:02:33Yep.
00:02:34You know?
00:02:35And so they're talking about getting rid
00:02:36of their number one and number two picks
00:02:39who hire up teams for money.
00:02:42Politicking.
00:02:43Politicking.
00:02:44Politicking.
00:02:45We made some decisions to make some trades
00:02:47due to the performance of our team.
00:02:49Our team has been on a spiral going down.
00:02:52We got two guys who've been killing it for us all year.
00:02:55Nathan and Damon.
00:02:56These guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship,
00:02:59but a hot commodity right now, man.
00:03:01I'm auctioning them off.
00:03:02We got the deal pretty close.
00:03:03These guys want an opportunity to win,
00:03:05and I gave them an opportunity to pick the team
00:03:06they wanted to go to.
00:03:09All right, fellas.
00:03:10So I got some pretty good news.
00:03:11Buddy called me and said that he realizes
00:03:13that his team ain't got a shot at the championship,
00:03:16and he wanted to sell us Damon Merchant.
00:03:20What's the bid?
00:03:21Are we bidding or what?
00:03:22What's the bid?
00:03:2310 grand and ranking.
00:03:24Worked his ass off the whole year.
00:03:26The guy's put in the work.
00:03:27He's done a lot, but he just couldn't get off
00:03:29that struggle bus right now.
00:03:31No.
00:03:32Man, this ain't friendship.
00:03:33It's business.
00:03:34We got to do what we got to do.
00:03:35Pretty much halfway through this season already,
00:03:38I was already talking to Buddy
00:03:40about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.
00:03:42I hope you all are in,
00:03:43because I already told him yes.
00:03:45He named the price.
00:03:46It was $10,000,
00:03:47and I immediately told him,
00:03:49hell yeah, we want to do it.
00:03:50I did hear some more things.
00:03:51I don't know if they're true,
00:03:52but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor,
00:03:56which is a weapon right now.
00:03:59Hey, are you buying anybody?
00:04:01I might.
00:04:02I mean, you might as well.
00:04:03I might buy somebody today.
00:04:04Must be the thing to do here.
00:04:05I might buy somebody today.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07This is the last event before the points and a half starts,
00:04:10and if there's any moves to be made,
00:04:12now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.
00:04:15That being said,
00:04:16I've got to make smart moves for my team
00:04:18to try to strategically get at this championship.
00:04:20And so I got a phone call from Bodhi.
00:04:22Bodhi's got two hockey players.
00:04:23He's got two hockey players.
00:04:24He's got two hockey players.
00:04:25He's got two hockey players.
00:04:26He's got two hockey players.
00:04:27I got a phone call from Bodhi.
00:04:28Bodhi's got two hot commodities.
00:04:29Nate's car's fast.
00:04:30He wants to be on our team.
00:04:31It's going to take a little bit of money.
00:04:33It's going to be interesting today.
00:04:34Let's see how I'm going to get .
00:04:36Yeah, you know .
00:04:39You know how .
00:04:40Everybody got knives.
00:04:42Shot, shot, shot, shot.
00:04:45Yeah.
00:04:46So last week when Bodhi called me wanting to sell Nate and Damon,
00:04:51I actually had told him that I would take both of them
00:04:53for the money he was asking for them.
00:04:55Nate, he called Ryan, actually got Ryan to buy him.
00:05:00Damon, we went back and forth, back and forth.
00:05:03And I thought all was good.
00:05:04Like I thought Damon was coming out of my team
00:05:06and it was going to be great.
00:05:07I almost feel like I got a knife in my back.
00:05:09Hey, you got to take the best shot at winning this championship.
00:05:15I think coming up, you look at the coming up races.
00:05:18Galat, Lizzy's going to run good there.
00:05:20Kyle's going to run .
00:05:22Test there a lot.
00:05:23It's going to be a good race for them.
00:05:24Steel Alabama's going to be a good race for Ryan.
00:05:26Texas is where it's like, it's any man's game at Texas, I think.
00:05:31Was Ryan trying to get you too?
00:05:33Uh, we talked, he talked a little bit.
00:05:36He got, I think he got Nate.
00:05:38Huh?
00:05:39He got Nate.
00:05:43What's up?
00:05:44That's why I'm glad I'm on the bottom of the ladder.
00:05:46What's the matter there?
00:05:47There's nothing wrong with me.
00:05:48You look like you're upset.
00:05:49I'm not upset.
00:05:50Are you okay?
00:05:51Are you upset?
00:05:52No.
00:05:53Do I have a reason to be upset?
00:05:54That could be, I guess.
00:05:55I don't know.
00:05:56Should I be upset?
00:05:57You should wake up in a happy mood.
00:05:58Why?
00:05:59You should.
00:06:00I know you're waking up angry.
00:06:02No.
00:06:03You just look like you had a face frown.
00:06:06Uh-uh.
00:06:07I'm good.
00:06:11All right, guys.
00:06:12This is the captain's meeting.
00:06:13As you know, this is where you can make changes to your team.
00:06:15So we're gonna start at the bottom.
00:06:16I mean, not the bottom.
00:06:17Sorry.
00:06:18We're gonna start with the team that has the most opportunity to do well.
00:06:22Yes.
00:06:23Dean.
00:06:24Yeah.
00:06:25No change.
00:06:26Really?
00:06:27No change.
00:06:28Okay, I like it.
00:06:29Yes.
00:06:30Any changes?
00:06:31Man, you know what?
00:06:32We're doing so good right now, I'd hate to mess it up.
00:06:36Y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there.
00:06:38So no changes.
00:06:39Yeah, we're good.
00:06:40Keeping it where it's at.
00:06:41Status quo.
00:06:42Yes, sir.
00:06:43Swanstrom.
00:06:44Changes.
00:06:45I found out this week my money doesn't go as long as some others, so.
00:06:47Oh.
00:06:48Oh.
00:06:49What happened?
00:06:50I don't know.
00:06:51I'm gonna stay because there's no trade there.
00:06:54Uh, Bodie.
00:06:55I'll tell you what.
00:06:57We're gonna make a lot of changes over here today.
00:06:59First.
00:07:00What?
00:07:01Yeah, the first change I'm gonna make is I'm gonna put myself back in for Tim Brown.
00:07:05Like it.
00:07:06I'm also gonna make, uh, a major trade with my two top guys.
00:07:10Okay.
00:07:13So who are you starting with?
00:07:15First, uh, I'll start here with Kai Kelly.
00:07:18What's going on here?
00:07:20Uh, we was talking about negotiating, uh,
00:07:23I got Damon.
00:07:25He wanted to go to your team.
00:07:27He was gonna, uh, bring me back over Rankin and a couple extra dollars.
00:07:32Ooh!
00:07:34Say no more.
00:07:36$10,000.
00:07:37Wait a minute.
00:07:38Time out.
00:07:39Wait, time out.
00:07:40$10,000.
00:07:41Trading Damon for Rankin was huge for us because Rankin's been struggling.
00:07:43When it does make a pass, it's fast.
00:07:45But to win these deals, you gotta be consistent.
00:07:47And you gotta be consistent every single week with no breaks.
00:07:49For now, he's just not consistent enough for us to win a championship,
00:07:52and Damon is.
00:07:53It's business, and it's $200,000.
00:07:55I hate it for Rankin, but I gotta do it.
00:07:58Rankin, please do not take offense to this,
00:08:00but you just traded Damon Merchant for Chris Rankin.
00:08:04And $10,000.
00:08:05I get a lot of credit.
00:08:06I'm the great GM because everybody had the opportunity to pick these guys,
00:08:09and they didn't.
00:08:10Yeah, that's right.
00:08:11So I-I-I GMed these guys, and I got them here,
00:08:13and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it,
00:08:15so this is what I get in return.
00:08:16And we're not done.
00:08:17We're not done.
00:08:18Oh, you're not?
00:08:19You got more trades.
00:08:20Wow.
00:08:21Okay.
00:08:22What else you got?
00:08:23The next trade we got-
00:08:24Blockbuster trade.
00:08:25Is Nate Taylor.
00:08:26We working a deal with Ryan Martin.
00:08:27Yeah.
00:08:29For who?
00:08:30For Jerry, unfortunately.
00:08:32The Bird Boys.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35Oh, that's what you think.
00:08:36Y'all be in my heart.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:38And you know, I wasn't gonna do this,
00:08:39but then I heard Kai was gonna do it.
00:08:41Damon's a heavy hitter.
00:08:42He's one of the fastest cars here.
00:08:43Obviously, top five for sure.
00:08:44So to go get this championship,
00:08:47it's gonna be tough to try to get there
00:08:48without having an equal team.
00:08:50I need people that are gonna be heavy hitters.
00:08:53Odie put up Nate Saylor.
00:08:55It was a $10,000 purchase.
00:08:56I talked it out with my team.
00:08:58We split it up four ways.
00:08:59It was $2,500 bucks a piece.
00:09:01We thought of it as a very cheap investment
00:09:03to possibly guarantee us another driver
00:09:06to collect points for us to go get that championship.
00:09:09Did you already have the money wired to you?
00:09:11Or is it in cash?
00:09:12Or what's going on with that?
00:09:13You know I'm good for it.
00:09:14Yeah, yeah.
00:09:15Ryan's murder.
00:09:16I'm good for it.
00:09:17I'd also like to point out
00:09:18that I'm sure Team Dave and Murder Nova
00:09:20maybe are not exactly happy with the trades,
00:09:22because that just kind of sets them back as well.
00:09:24It makes it harder for them
00:09:25to win the championship as well.
00:09:27Kind of stacking the teams, you know?
00:09:28Set me back.
00:09:31All right. Is that it?
00:09:32Yes, sir.
00:09:33All right. Murder Nova, thank you.
00:09:34Yes.
00:09:35I ain't got $10,000, so...
00:09:36It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.
00:09:40Yeah.
00:09:42Okay.
00:09:43All right, guys.
00:09:44Well, there you have it.
00:09:45That's the captain's meeting.
00:09:46All right.
00:09:47Let's do it.
00:09:48Know what you gotta do.
00:09:49Good deal.
00:09:50All right.
00:09:51Team Kai getting another heavy hitter
00:09:52onto a team that is already sitting in first place.
00:09:55And then you've got Team Ryan Martin,
00:09:58who is also getting an extremely fast driver.
00:10:01Moving up, huh?
00:10:03I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing.
00:10:06That's right.
00:10:07Oh!
00:10:08This will put a lot of pressure on Damon and Nate
00:10:11to really perform for their teams,
00:10:13because these captains made these moves
00:10:16to try to win that team championship.
00:10:20What do you think about the team deal?
00:10:25I don't mind it.
00:10:26It helps y'all.
00:10:27But at the same time, the way he did it...
00:10:28Yeah.
00:10:29You know?
00:10:30I got to him last night.
00:10:32I said, I'll probably be the next one to go.
00:10:34I said, but I'd rather kind of be anywhere
00:10:37than with a snake.
00:10:38Uh-huh.
00:10:39We still had a chance.
00:10:41We wasn't out.
00:10:42You know what I'm saying?
00:10:43That's what I kind of said, too.
00:10:44Me and Nate talked about that.
00:10:45We still had a chance for the championship.
00:10:47We wasn't out.
00:10:48But all that benefited was his pocket.
00:10:51That's it.
00:10:52And then he threw up in my face.
00:10:53Oh, well, I didn't have to pick you.
00:10:56You ain't done for the team.
00:10:59You ain't got a point.
00:11:00You ain't went a round.
00:11:02But you want to stick all the money in your pocket
00:11:04and sell out on your people?
00:11:06That ain't no captain.
00:11:07That's chicken .
00:11:14All right.
00:11:15Well, folks, we are now going to move into the
00:11:19invitational round one driver's meeting, folks.
00:11:22This is the main event for the weekend.
00:11:25This is the class where 32 drivers battle it out
00:11:28for $40,000.
00:11:31It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates
00:11:33for other team captains to try to make some moves.
00:11:36I said no.
00:11:37I said you're worth more than five.
00:11:38He just don't like you, man.
00:11:39Nah, he don't like you.
00:11:40He thinks he can't win a championship.
00:11:43He don't want you to.
00:11:44He can't either.
00:11:45You know?
00:11:46That's where we're at with Mike right now.
00:11:47That's the type of guy Mike is.
00:11:49You had Sean trying to get Mike Murillo
00:11:52to trade Scott Taylor for $5,000.
00:11:55But for some reason, Murillo is not down with that.
00:11:58He's trying to go from fourth to third.
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01But he's not getting his paper right.
00:12:02How much paper is it going to take?
00:12:0310,000.
00:12:0410,000.
00:12:05You're good for it, right?
00:12:06Hell no.
00:12:07That's what the going for is for me.
00:12:08That's what top-tier people go for.
00:12:10Are you talking about Ryan?
00:12:11Oh, wow!
00:12:13Damn!
00:12:14Hey!
00:12:15Wow!
00:12:16Damn!
00:12:17We just recovered.
00:12:18I love you, man.
00:12:19I love you, man.
00:12:20All right.
00:12:21Well, look, Sean.
00:12:22It looks like Murillo is not going to crack yet.
00:12:23We'll try next week, buddy.
00:12:24Sorry.
00:12:25And now, after all the successful and unsuccessful trading, plus our race your way in, the 32 car
00:12:38field is set.
00:12:39Since he auctioned off two of his team members, Bodie only has two drivers in the Invitational
00:12:44today.
00:12:45But Kai's and Ryan's investments are really paying off, as they each have all five racers
00:12:50in, unlike Dave, who only has four.
00:12:53We'll go ahead and get the bucket here.
00:12:55We'll draw out of this bucket real quick.
00:12:57All right.
00:12:58All right.
00:12:59Look at me, son of the .
00:13:01You were looking at me.
00:13:02I was trying to get them mixed up.
00:13:05If anyone ask me, I think you're worth 10,000.
00:13:07Thank you, bud.
00:13:08You're welcome.
00:13:09There ain't no chips in there.
00:13:10No, here it is.
00:13:11In the first round here in Michigan, eight teammates drew each other.
00:13:14You got Chuck 55 going up against B-Rad.
00:13:17Sean had four racers coming into this race.
00:13:19Unfortunately, this guarantees that he'll have, at the most, three racers continuing on
00:13:24after this first round.
00:13:25Then, the race that everyone's got their eye on.
00:13:28It is a rematch between Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi.
00:13:32Those two are the heaviest hitters on their team.
00:13:35Plus, you factor in the history they have between each other.
00:13:39This is going to be a good one.
00:13:40Then, you have Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.
00:13:43Again, two of the heaviest hitters on their team.
00:13:47And for Ryan Martin, who's trying to get to the top, he needs all of his strongest racers
00:13:53to stay in as long as possible.
00:13:55Finally, you have Dave himself going up against Paige Coughlin.
00:13:58Paige has been trying to prove herself all season long.
00:14:01And Dave is the captain of the team.
00:14:04Which means there'll be a lot of pressure for Paige and Dave to get the win.
00:14:09I think you're in a better position now.
00:14:11I do, too.
00:14:12I mean, for sure, now.
00:14:14But Dave was really wanting to make a run.
00:14:18All right, folks.
00:14:19First pair here in the Invitational first round.
00:14:22You got Rich Bruder going up against Jim Howe.
00:14:25It's a rematch from last weekend.
00:14:28Here we are, US 131.
00:14:30What a crazy day.
00:14:31Rain on and off, getting cold out.
00:14:34Go up there for Invitational chip draw.
00:14:36We draw Jim Howe.
00:14:37It's going to be a rematch from the last race.
00:14:39We went up there third round last race.
00:14:41Went up there.
00:14:42We had a problem with the car.
00:14:43After that race, we went to a dyno.
00:14:46Dynoed the car a little bit.
00:14:47Got it back where it should be.
00:14:49It's running strong tonight.
00:15:01Damn, somebody's on some sticker tires.
00:15:03Holy.
00:15:07So we're here in basically my hometown.
00:15:09We're in Martin, Michigan.
00:15:10I grew up racing here for two days.
00:15:12That's all it's done is rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
00:15:14The sun finally came out this afternoon.
00:15:16I do not like racing in the winter weather,
00:15:18and that's what this is.
00:15:19You know, it's no prep racing, and this is what it is.
00:15:21It's what makes this sport and this particular series
00:15:25such an interesting deal.
00:15:26That's why we've seen so many different winters all year.
00:15:28And Rich Bruder takes the win.
00:15:42Rich Bruder moving on to the next round of the Invitational Class.
00:15:59All right, next pair coming at you right now.
00:16:01We got Brandon James going up against Kayla Morton.
00:16:04We are getting ready for today, and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon,
00:16:22and he chose to go with Kai.
00:16:23So we just need to use that as drive and, you know, a fire lit under our ass to do better.
00:16:29If you don't want to be on our team, then we're going to show you that you made a mistake.
00:16:34And Kayla Morton takes the win there.
00:16:51Brandon James getting all kinds of sideways over there in the left lane.
00:16:58Whoo!
00:16:59The right lane was a little more sketch.
00:17:01Up top, man, it was a little shaky.
00:17:03It was all over the place.
00:17:04But I am glad that we drew that lane, and now we have some data in both lanes.
00:17:07And I'm just hoping to keep this momentum going.
00:17:09There's something to be said about winning five times in a row,
00:17:13and hopefully we can just keep that up.
00:17:15I was driving.
00:17:16Mine drove to the center upheld, and I'm about wrecking .
00:17:19Did you really?
00:17:20Yeah.
00:17:21Damn.
00:17:22That track is just so cold now.
00:17:23Yeah, it is.
00:17:24Good job.
00:17:25Thanks, Brandon.
00:17:26Good luck, Ma.
00:17:27Thanks, Barry.
00:17:28Coming at you right now, we've got Clay Cole going up against Scott.
00:17:31Scooter.
00:17:32Taylor.
00:17:39So I went up and drew chips today for round one of the Invitational.
00:17:42I drew Scott Taylor.
00:17:43I've not raced Scott yet, so it ought to be an interesting race.
00:17:47So round one's a little bit different today.
00:17:50We've had Mother Nature against us all weekend, unfortunately.
00:17:58It's a little cooler out, so it's definitely going to be tricky,
00:18:01and you're going to have to be on your A game for sure
00:18:03to get down this track.
00:18:09Hey, hey!
00:18:15What's wrong?
00:18:16It's a transformation.
00:18:18It ain't clicking.
00:18:21Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck,
00:18:23not packing up.
00:18:24Jiggle right there.
00:18:25Right here?
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:27Mike Murillo, team captain, needs to get out there
00:18:29and figure out what's going on.
00:18:30with his teammate, Scott Taylor.
00:18:33Put him on the clock.
00:18:34He's on the clock.
00:18:35He's on the clock.
00:18:36He's got it.
00:18:37Are you going to put him on the clock?
00:18:38Yeah.
00:18:39All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor
00:18:40on a two-minute clock.
00:18:41Oh, my.
00:18:43See it broke anywhere?
00:18:44I don't see anything.
00:18:46Oh, yep, right there.
00:18:47Can you shove it back?
00:18:53You don't get it?
00:18:54Oh, it ain't my team.
00:18:55I don't give a .
00:18:56One minute has surpassed.
00:19:00Y'all push me back.
00:19:01I'm going to try it.
00:19:02Maybe it goes red or something.
00:19:06Man, Clay, if you don't give him extra time,
00:19:08that's sorry.
00:19:09All right, so got about 10 seconds.
00:19:16Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:19:24We almost got it.
00:19:25We almost got it.
00:19:26We almost got it.
00:19:27That is two minutes.
00:19:29Two minutes has surpassed.
00:19:54All right, so Clay Cole taking the win and pedaling over there in that right lane.
00:20:06Scott Taylor has something happen there right on the hit.
00:20:09Damn.
00:20:10Does not make the pass.
00:20:11We had a wire brake on the trans brake on the dash, and we just needed a few minutes to fix it.
00:20:18He didn't want to give no extra time.
00:20:19I know that Clay Cole is not going to give anybody one second to actually get a drag race.
00:20:24We know that.
00:20:25We established that.
00:20:26So in the future, anybody, you know, goes up against Clay and he has a problem,
00:20:30he ain't going to give you time.
00:20:31So you got that stuck in the back of your mind.
00:20:33What happened, brother?
00:20:35The trans brake wouldn't work.
00:20:36It just ain't meant to be right now.
00:20:38Oh, man, I'm sorry.
00:20:39All good, man.
00:20:40I didn't put you on the clock.
00:20:41My guy did. I'm sorry.
00:20:42No, you're fine.
00:20:43I don't know if you could have got it fixed or not.
00:20:44It's all good.
00:20:45We good?
00:20:46Yep.
00:20:47I think we had one of the fastest cars on the property tonight, and a wire.
00:20:50You know, one wire broke, and I thought that maybe, you know, the testing and stuff
00:20:55had paid off.
00:20:56We do really good when the track's not great.
00:20:58That's our specialty.
00:21:00We're in the biggest slump we've ever been in, but there ain't but one way to get out of it
00:21:03is to keep digging.
00:21:04You lay down in a slump, you get covered up.
00:21:07We ain't gonna lay down.
00:21:10All right, folks, next pair.
00:21:12That is gonna be David Gates going up against Murder Nova.
00:21:16Man, I'm gonna have to go up here and race my buddy Sean Murder Nova.
00:21:21I'm gonna try to get that wind and put him on the trailer.
00:21:26Man, I'm just starting to go into these two points and a half.
00:21:30We got a shot.
00:21:32We're not that far behind.
00:21:34No, y'all are in a good spot for sure.
00:21:37Yeah.
00:21:38Y'all are in a, it's achievable where you're at.
00:21:41Yes, yes.
00:21:42Pretty tight.
00:21:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:44Yeah.
00:21:45But now it's gonna start doing this because they all got five guys in.
00:21:50So normally we race first round during the day and you have to worry about a tricky track
00:21:56that's hot.
00:21:57Well, this is a little bit different.
00:21:59We're really far north.
00:22:00It's cold.
00:22:01And a cold track could be worse than a hot and greasy track.
00:22:05David Gates' car has the capabilities of being one of the fastest cars on the property.
00:22:21I know he's been struggling a little bit, but I can't look at it that way.
00:22:26I have to look at it like, how much power is this lane gonna take whenever I try to put it down?
00:22:31And that's the route we're gonna go.
00:22:50Now Murder Nova takes the win.
00:22:54He'll move on the next round.
00:22:57Next pair coming at you is gonna be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.
00:23:03Good luck.
00:23:04Be careful.
00:23:05Good luck, guys.
00:23:06Good job.
00:23:07We just drew a teammate.
00:23:08We drew Chuck Parker.
00:23:09It sucks.
00:23:10They're fans.
00:23:11But I really won and won first round.
00:23:13That's my simple goal for the week.
00:23:14Win first round.
00:23:24The next pair coming at you is gonna be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.
00:23:44And Chuck 55 takes the win.
00:23:47All right, coming at you right now.
00:23:49That's gonna be Disco Dean going up against Nate Sailor.
00:23:56At the end of the day, it's the captain's choice to do what they want.
00:23:59They can put us down in the reserve pool, trade us, swap us.
00:24:02Nothing we can do about it.
00:24:03But Bode gave me the choice.
00:24:05He said, you pick where you want to go.
00:24:07That's where you can go.
00:24:08And to be honest, I didn't want to go to the first place team.
00:24:13Kai's team.
00:24:14I want to earn this championship.
00:24:16Like, if we win, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you got traded at the last minute onto Kai's team and he was in first place.
00:24:22I want to go to a team that's gonna work their ass off and make it happen.
00:24:27Now it's crunch time.
00:24:37After this race, then it's points and a half, points and a half, and then double points.
00:24:41Like, if you don't have your group and your together before then, people are gonna go flying by you.
00:24:46I'm just looking for the opportunity to go win a championship.
00:24:57Woo!
00:24:58Let's go, brother!
00:24:59You look close to me.
00:25:00You look close to me.
00:25:01Good lap, mate.
00:25:02Thanks, brother.
00:25:03Good run.
00:25:04Did you make a clean head?
00:25:05Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time.
00:25:06Just getting loose down there like that.
00:25:20I lifted about the mon-hour cone just to be safe, because it's getting wish-washy.
00:25:24I hear you.
00:25:25Good lap!
00:25:26Thanks, brother.
00:25:27Yeah.
00:25:28Next pair, that is gonna be Damon Merchant and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.
00:25:33Ugh.
00:25:34What's wrong?
00:25:35Number one, sitting at around 700.
00:25:37We got your belt.
00:25:38Huh?
00:25:39We got your belt.
00:25:41Check it.
00:25:42We've just been fighting little gremlins all day, really.
00:25:45Got a blower.
00:25:47We keep having cylinder one shut off randomly, so we got the coil swapped and a new spark plug wire on it,
00:25:55so we're just gonna, I mean, it's time to go up, so we're gonna give her hell.
00:26:00We drew Jeff Lutz for the first time this year.
00:26:03In all honesty, I haven't got to race very many 405 guys this season.
00:26:07He's another big block Chevy out here.
00:26:09There's not too many of us out here, so just gonna have to find out if his big block's faster than my big block.
00:26:16What do you think?
00:26:17I don't know.
00:26:18I didn't get to see Damon's earlier pass.
00:26:20I'm not worried about him.
00:26:21I'm just worried about the cold track.
00:26:23And I went over and asked Ryan.
00:26:24I said, what's your plan?
00:26:25He goes, man, I think I'm gonna leave it alone.
00:26:27I said, yeah, I think we're gonna too.
00:26:29He's 12th.
00:26:30I said, well, pay attention to us, because we're gonna leave it alone.
00:26:34Don't you know I draw Damon Merchant?
00:26:36You know, it's been cold all day.
00:26:37It's been raining.
00:26:38It is what it is.
00:26:39Let's give it what we got, you know?
00:26:41So our test pass earlier today went really well.
00:26:44We ran pretty close against Ryan, and I said, let's just rerun that run.
00:27:06Damon Merchant takes the win.
00:27:09Great pass there.
00:27:16Damon won his race.
00:27:17So, so far, my trade is going exactly the direction I needed it to go.
00:27:21His test passes, they sucked.
00:27:23Broke a blower, burned up a spark plug, but he showed up for an invitation in round one.
00:27:28And that's exactly why we paid the money for him, because he's worth it.
00:27:33Had to do a little driving that time.
00:27:35All right, folks, this next pair, that's gonna be Larry Larson going up again.
00:27:38Going up against Axeman.
00:27:41Larry lost.
00:27:46Larry.
00:27:48Shoot, I don't know how many times I've raced Larry.
00:27:50I got him the last time we raced.
00:27:52But it was nose-to-nose that tossed him.
00:27:55Larry has stepped his game up a lot.
00:27:58A lot.
00:27:59So, this is not gonna be easy.
00:28:04I'm putting my mittens on now.
00:28:06What's that?
00:28:07I'm gonna put my mittens on.
00:28:09You're all set.
00:28:11Cold out here.
00:28:13Yes, it is.
00:28:15Pulled Larry, Roach, Axeman.
00:28:17Same guy tunes his.
00:28:18It tunes Kayla's and a couple other ones.
00:28:20So, I know about how fast they are.
00:28:22I think we're fully capable of outrunning them.
00:28:24You're gonna have to be good on the light and make a nice clean run.
00:28:27The track's really cold right now.
00:28:39Sun's went down.
00:28:40It hasn't rained this afternoon, which is great.
00:28:42But the track conditions are gonna start to get a little treacherous down there from half-track on.
00:28:46All right, folks, this next pair, that's gonna be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.
00:29:16Good job, baby.
00:29:17Good job.
00:29:18So, Axeman moving on to the next round.
00:29:22We rolled in.
00:29:23When that light turned green, I come off that button.
00:29:24I've never seen him again.
00:29:26Like, this thing is walking up on the center line.
00:29:28I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.
00:29:29I kept telling myself, I'm not gonna let off.
00:29:31My light come on.
00:29:32I said, whew!
00:29:33I said, whew!
00:29:34I said, whew!
00:29:35I said, whew!
00:29:36I said, whew!
00:29:37I said, whew!
00:29:38I said, whew!
00:29:39I said, whew!
00:29:40I said, whew!
00:29:41I said, whew!
00:29:42I said, whew!
00:29:43I said, whew!
00:29:44I'm glad to get past that first round.
00:29:45Next pair, that's gonna be Giuseppe going up against Tony McKinnon.
00:29:49So, in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.
00:29:50He's fast.
00:29:51Obviously, he was coming off a win.
00:29:52Yeah, he's been moving lately.
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:54So, he got us by a fender.
00:29:55But we made a good run.
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:57The car's fast.
00:29:58We made some changes.
00:29:59We changed the combination up.
00:30:00Yeah.
00:30:01So, I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.
00:30:02I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:03I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:04I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:05I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:06I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:07I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:08I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:09The car's fast.
00:30:10We made some changes.
00:30:11We changed the combination up.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13So, I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.
00:30:14I thought I wrote a good run.
00:30:15Yeah, I'm feeling good.
00:30:16Real good.
00:30:17Going in, we got the chip draw, and we drew Tony McKinney for first round here.
00:30:19I haven't raced Tony McKinney this year, so not sure how fast he is or not.
00:30:24I haven't really gauged him yet, but we're about to find out here in a little bit.
00:30:27The car's really fast.
00:30:35It's flying.
00:30:36But we got to make it to the finish line.
00:30:38We tried a couple more things.
00:30:42We'll see if it makes it to the finish line this next run here.
00:30:44With the wind, that car was out of it.
00:31:13It was fast.
00:31:16Fast.
00:31:17Right through the stripe.
00:31:18Didn't see Tony McKinney that whole run.
00:31:20And we pulled off a wind.
00:31:22I just had to cut gas.
00:31:23Yeah.
00:31:24I knew I had to.
00:31:25I know how fast you are.
00:31:26No, yeah.
00:31:27Yeah, that was a good run probably right there.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:29Yeah, wheels up.
00:31:30It was moving around a little bit, but.
00:31:31Was it?
00:31:32Yeah.
00:31:33Man, we packed the wheels, and then they still had the wheels packed.
00:31:36And the 1-2 ship, and then I felt it.
00:31:38As soon as I felt it wiggle, I was like, oh, and I cut gas, and I almost went over into your lane.
00:31:41Oh, .
00:31:42So I was able to save it.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45Hey.
00:31:46All right, buddy.
00:31:47Congratulations.
00:31:48All right, man, thank you.
00:31:49All right, next pair coming out.
00:31:50We got Kali Mills going up against Mike Murillo.
00:31:52Got $100 on the left lane.
00:31:54Going into the first round of Race Your Way In against Jerry Bird, and had just a killer
00:31:59pass, and broke a rod.
00:32:01We're applying, you know, 5,000 horsepower at, you know, 2.2 seconds in.
00:32:06Have we reached a threshold, a limit?
00:32:08You know, I don't know.
00:32:09What does this mean?
00:32:10It means we're broke.
00:32:11That's what it means, we're broke.
00:32:13I draw none other than Mike Murillo.
00:32:23Unfortunately, he broke his motor.
00:32:26Like, it's, I guess, in pieces.
00:32:27Not good.
00:32:28I hate that for them.
00:32:29Very unfortunate luck.
00:32:30But on our end, we got lucky.
00:32:49Yeah!
00:32:50All right, so Kali Mills pulls and shoots, gets it back straight.
00:32:52Nice job.
00:32:56I got out there, got loose on the 2-3 shift.
00:32:59It had the wheels up and just got sideways.
00:33:01I needed to have the shootout a little bit sooner, because it was .
00:33:05And that was not good.
00:33:06So, just had it too hopped up.
00:33:08Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:33:14You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing you can do about it.
00:33:18I honestly, like, standing, like, I feel like I could throw up anything.
00:33:22That's how I feel like.
00:33:23Really?
00:33:24I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.
00:33:27I'm trying the best I can.
00:33:28So, I'm pushing through it.
00:33:30And guess what?
00:33:31I draw a freaking Kai first round again.
00:33:33Definitely didn't want to freaking race him again.
00:33:35No matter what, one of us is going on to the next round for the team.
00:33:38So, that's the way I kind of look at it.
00:33:40Let me win one.
00:33:45Round one, I drew Lizzie.
00:33:46I don't like racing my own team.
00:33:48I definitely don't like racing Lizzie.
00:33:49It seems like every time I get beside her, I get emotional.
00:33:51And I don't like the feeling.
00:33:53And I'd rather her just draw somebody else, because her car is fast.
00:33:57And we've got to run the hell out of my car to try to outrun her.
00:34:00So, it just sucks, because there's two fast people.
00:34:02And one of us has got to go home first round when we draw each other.
00:34:05We've got to be on top of our game.
00:34:21We've got to go as fast as we've possibly ever been.
00:34:24Right here, today, if we want to get out of first round.
00:34:27It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.
00:34:35Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:35:05Kai Kelly gets the redemption there, takes the win.
00:35:14Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane.
00:35:17At the very end of the track.
00:35:19I couldn't imagine having more than one motor.
00:35:22Where you're cool with just burning it down.
00:35:24Every lap.
00:35:25Yeah, yeah.
00:35:27I don't get it.
00:35:29They said he was up against the wall, was you?
00:35:31I don't think so.
00:35:33No, I can't.
00:35:36But a good thing about it, Sean.
00:35:37It ate itself up before the finish line, but you had me anyway.
00:35:40Good job.
00:35:41At least we're one and one for today.
00:35:43Oh, what a shit.
00:35:45If they ain't blowing the motor up, they ain't trying to win.
00:35:47And that's exactly what I want my team to do when they draw me.
00:35:49I want them to win, because I want the fastest car to go to the next round.
00:35:52Because at the end of the day, that gets us more points.
00:35:54I'm still proud of you, though. You're my hero.
00:35:56Why?
00:35:57You're fighting once you're fighting.
00:35:59Just stop.
00:36:00Hard on me this weekend, so...
00:36:03I love you.
00:36:05Always.
00:36:06Okay, good job.
00:36:08Sorry, don't.
00:36:10Go kick ass, okay?
00:36:11Thanks.
00:36:12Okay.
00:36:13Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.
00:36:20Here we are now, it's night time.
00:36:25It is really cold out here.
00:36:28The track surface is good for about 100 foot, but after that it's not great.
00:36:32You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?
00:36:34So we won the last race.
00:36:35We're trying to do well.
00:36:36And all the guys have all talked like, hey, we just need a couple of good draws.
00:36:41And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.
00:36:44He's safe, man.
00:36:45Good luck.
00:36:46Good luck.
00:36:47Good luck.
00:36:51Good luck, homie.
00:36:52You too, man.
00:36:53Be safe.
00:36:54He has one of the fastest cars here.
00:36:56Very similar combination to mine.
00:36:58I mean, not who I wanted.
00:37:00We're pulling out all the stops.
00:37:02We'll see if it's enough.
00:37:05You know, I hate drawing Ryan.
00:37:07One, he's my buddy.
00:37:08Two, like, he's my team captain.
00:37:17But we got Ryan.
00:37:18We're gonna have to make it work.
00:37:34Ryan, Martin.
00:37:35Hey, that didn't even really look close, did it?
00:37:42Rolling in the lights, and I know he likes to do the double bulbs real fast, so I tried to light mine real quick behind him.
00:37:48The build left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track.
00:37:51He just pulled the fender on me.
00:37:53You know, I hate to lose in the sucks, but the team, four out of five, are moving on to the next round.
00:37:58Keep gaining points for team Ryan Martin.
00:37:59You know what?
00:38:00I've drawn my teammate four times in a row.
00:38:02Started with him, then I drew Giuseppe, then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.
00:38:07What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?
00:38:09Yeah, no .
00:38:10A great eight in there.
00:38:11Good job.
00:38:12And then I hugged her and started crying.
00:38:13It's still in there somewhere.
00:38:14You did?
00:38:15Yeah.
00:38:17This pair here, I've got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate and team captain, Daddy Dave.
00:38:27The car just needs to do what it did earlier.
00:38:29What's that?
00:38:30It needs to do what it did earlier.
00:38:31Yeah, it will.
00:38:33You'll be nice.
00:38:34It was a nice, smooth run and pretty similar.
00:38:38Alrighty.
00:38:39Oh, .
00:38:40We're here at US 131 Dragway.
00:38:42We finally get to go some rounds.
00:38:44You know, we were able to make a test pass.
00:38:46We're going up for first round.
00:38:47We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds.
00:38:51But finally, we're able to hit the track.
00:38:53We're ready to rock and roll.
00:38:54We went up for chip draw and we drew Daddy Dave.
00:38:56But you know what?
00:38:57Positive outlook on this.
00:38:58One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.
00:39:02We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.
00:39:03We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.
00:39:09This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.
00:39:10We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go on round two.
00:39:14.
00:39:17We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.
00:39:20We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.
00:39:22.
00:39:29.
00:39:31This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.
00:39:33We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go onto round two.
00:39:37.
00:39:42and daddy day takes the wind look like page coffin was out in front pulled the
00:40:03shoots a little early oh my god you freaking scared why what happened oh it was going everywhere
00:40:10but straight for a minute oh my god no no no hey good job oh my god knocked my head up at the tree
00:40:17i got where is she going you know what you took yeah it was i gotta keep you in line at least on
00:40:23the top part you know that's the second time i've left before you yeah all right next pair coming
00:40:30after we got john otis then go up against bobby dakote
00:40:45which i get the points we kind of got our whole team like just smashed out from under us and our
00:40:50great captain decided to just sell everybody to pat his own pockets to hell with everybody else
00:40:54his ass still ain't racing he ain't got a single point this year went a single round this year
00:40:59but he put all that money in his pocket to help the rest of the team whatever it is what it is
00:41:06i'll probably be traded next week i don't really know where i'm going don't really care i'd rather
00:41:11be anywhere than with a snake like that
00:41:19and john otan will take the win there
00:41:32yeah john we got the win at least that one's moving on i was pulling back to you i saw you the
00:41:39whole time dude the whole time brother were you like there was a point i didn't did you see me the
00:41:46whole time i can see your nose right here yeah the whole time battle of the turtle cars coming at you
00:41:52right now got chris rankin over in the left lane in the conquest going up against chuck seitzinger
00:41:58in the right lane
00:42:06we drew chuck and uh him and i are usually door to door so it could be anybody's race
00:42:11him and i are both hot strong as hell so you know hopefully we can both have a good drag race and uh
00:42:15uh and i come out on top and i go in round two so that's it so chris rankin in the left lane
00:42:21twin turbo congress going up against chuck seitzinger twin turbo must stay in the right lane
00:42:32this is the first time i've been in the invitation in three or four weeks so i need to go to the
00:42:36semi-finals so when i go to uh galat i'm not in the race your way in so but right now i just can't give
00:42:44up so i'm gonna do the best i can
00:43:06all right chris rankin will get the win chuck seitzinger has problems on the hit
00:43:14all right folks we got jimmy taylor going up against justin swanstrom
00:43:34it's being so cold here it's pretty rough we'll see how it plays out i know the tracks are going to be
00:43:39very tricky um for everybody today too but everybody's got to go down the same surface
00:43:58all right folks we got jimmy taylor going up against justin swanstrom
00:44:09going into round two ryan martin has four racers moving on meanwhile dave and kai only have three it
00:44:29does feel like ryan is picking up some momentum in his program but he came off his first invitational
00:44:35win last week now he's picked up nate sailor and he's looking to continue that forward movement
00:44:41nate sailor and damon merchant are moving on to round two it really seems like they're trying to prove
00:44:46that they are worth the investment that was made all right folks i'm gonna have my drivers draw chips
00:44:51all righty where are my number ones kelly mills versus kayla morton chuck 55 and giuseppe yes
00:45:10giuseppe that is a two oh axeman versus ryan martin oh wow daddy day versus murder nova
00:45:23chris rankin versus nate sailor it's gonna be john odom versus damon merchant jimmy taylor and kai kelly
00:45:34whoo all right so my eighth and final pair will be rich bruder versus clay cole all right drivers
00:45:45well y'all got some time to think about what you got to do to your cars because this round will be
00:45:48run tomorrow we appreciate you coming see you tomorrow unfortunately the rain yesterday set us
00:45:56back late enough that we were only able to get the first round of racing in that means we will have
00:46:01to be spending one more day here in michigan to finish up the rounds and determine who will be
00:46:06walking away with the forty thousand dollar invitational prize mode how are you what's up how's
00:46:11everybody doing today good all right folks gonna go ahead and get started on racing for those that were
00:46:22here last night you know that we made it through our first round of the invitational class we're gonna
00:46:29finish it up today on a beautiful sunday here in michigan first pair here in this second round
00:46:36the invitational class cali mills going up against caleb orton you ready yeah i think so last night um so
00:46:44we changed the cam you know to make more horsepower out in the back and so they didn't have the drive
00:46:49shaft curve close enough to it because they were trying to see what it would do since we had that fight
00:46:54against mike and oh it went out there and it was like i was like no you did a hell of a job last
00:46:58night yeah i'm like so i just hope we can make it down and if i can do my job on the tree i think we'll
00:47:03be okay today's a new day second round of invitational we drew kayla morton i'm gonna have my work cut
00:47:09out for me because my car is not been happy but last night we made a good pass to like the 330 and then
00:47:16when it shifted into high gear it just got sideways and did not go well so hopefully we can get it to
00:47:26go a to b and i can do my job on the tree because i think i'm gonna have to have a really good light
00:47:33perfect nailed it started off the day good guys cali is not one to take lightly she's getting better and
00:47:41better faster and faster each race she's been to a semi-final this year we are first pair so that is
00:47:47another factor to kind of take into account but we have momentum we've made pass after pass and just
00:48:06looking to get six round wins here in a row which is super exciting
00:48:20and kayla morton gonna take the win there cali mills car makes a hard move out there
00:48:39we both be driving all right next pair you got chuck 55 going up against giuseppe
00:48:45we just need to figure out we got a giuseppe he's uh he's got a he's got a good setup fast car but
00:48:56he's been struggling a little bit i'm gonna try to tear their head off on the light and uh if i can
00:49:01leave with them it gets game over because i'm i'm telling you i'll pull them on the big end we hold
00:49:06things together i'll make more power on the big end just need to make it to the finals that's it i know
00:49:11we need to get to the finals let me know all right you guys good over there right now i just put a
00:49:19bunch of fuel the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run at which has just changed i the weather
00:49:24whatever don't know but now it's it needs a lot more fuel in the car so we put more fuel in it
00:49:29chuck 55 i know he made it to the finals a few races back there we're really going to just try to run our
00:49:34own race try to go as fast as we can what the track will take but i'm going to just worry about our
00:49:38program right now and try to push the limits of the track and see if we can pull it off
00:49:56right now we got four guys in we got the most guys still going rounds right now we're the only ones
00:50:01who have four in so we're going to try to close that gap this weekend hopefully we can get two of
00:50:05our guys in the finals and i'm hoping for all four of our guys for the semi-finals left then two of
00:50:10our guys in the finals to get max points out of this weekend and close that gap against kai there
00:50:19and giuseppe gonna take the win there nice pass from him it was loose out there
00:50:38man i did what i didn't want to do shook no we uh we took power out of it on the hit
00:50:44not knowing what to take yeah and uh plus you left on me oh yeah and so that didn't help yeah but
00:50:50man i mean as a when i felt the power ramp in and i started reeling you up but yeah it's too late too
00:50:56late all right folks this right here gonna be a good one that is gonna be max man going up against
00:51:01ryan martin better make a straight hit we'll have something for him definitely can't pedal against ryan
00:51:06so you're gonna have to drive no no got a tough competitor brian martin the baddest man on the
00:51:12planet as far as i'm concerned like i mean he's tough he's got a couple advantages he's changed his
00:51:17new car over he went to that new blower but i'm gonna figure out some way to get around here
00:51:23i've got axman first round they got a new motor in the car i expect them to be a handful so
00:51:28we're not gonna turn this car down i'm gonna bank on the track holding what i'm gonna put in it
00:51:32and hopefully it does my team has done really good we've got four cars in right now which is
00:51:48what we hope for nobody else has that many in the trade move that we did nate's still in and it was
00:51:53a smart move i need all four of my guys to advance to next round because we didn't draw each other and
00:51:58it would be fantastic if we could get there
00:52:12it's just a light what's that a spike no i don't know hey super good yes super good yeah he can't be
00:52:26mad he did last week i told that i said you can't be mad ever again you did it last week he did it last
00:52:34week so unfortunately we had a car tuned up and a good car for the weekend and uh from a guest and
00:52:47put us on the trailer we all got the same opportunity that's just not the way i raced he's a guest of
00:52:53hey hey hey one day you're gonna have a car fast enough you ain't gotta do that let me tell you
00:52:58that blower is 600s faster and you know it it's all good hey i know you're gonna hit some of those
00:53:03and some of them some of them you ain't that one you hit i had to make up 600 brother i get it
00:53:07axeman ended up guessing on the tree and as we know ryan martin absolutely hates that but it just
00:53:13goes to show that these racers will do whatever it takes to get the win oh we everybody knew you were
00:53:19gonna do it next pair that's gonna be daddy dave going up against murder nova it sucks because
00:53:27what do you do here you know what i mean like you can't turn it down because you'll get out ran
00:53:31you can't turn it up anymore because the track ain't gonna take it you know what i mean
00:53:37yeah that's gonna be a drag race we finally don't suck so don't turn it down
00:53:42this is where your tune-ups get tricky uh i drew daddy dave and we're the fourth pair
00:53:47it's not a whole lot of heat in the track uh this might be one of those days where a later round
00:53:53probably would have been better dave's a tough draw no matter what even if you have dave outgunned which i
00:53:58truly believe i do dave is dave and dave tends to win races sean's been hauling ass lately going
00:54:15rounds and i couldn't be happier for the guy but when we pull the start line the friendship's over
00:54:19right there next pair that's going to be daddy dave going up against murder nova
00:54:37that was a drag race folks but murder nova gets there first turns on the wind light nice job
00:54:55side by side so we take the light we left together he got me a little bit in the middle i put about
00:55:03half of our ambience finish line side by side it was it was a good race man this next pair that's
00:55:10going to be chris rankin going up against nate sailor okay we can go up second round we have chris
00:55:18rankin he can make a stupid fast pass but it's one here or there our car is like more consistent i
00:55:24would think so as far as the match-up goes he's gonna have to treat me and i'm just gonna make it
00:55:28impossible for him to do that he got traded to team bode which is where i came from i love my old team
00:55:45still in fact i'd go back to him if i had to but now we're team ryan and we're gonna do everything we
00:55:51can to chop their heads off
00:56:05and i still almost drove around him he guessed i knew he knew he had to he ain't got nothing for
00:56:24this car let's be honest man i went red dude i knew i was gonna take a shot at with your ass dude i just
00:56:28i'm sorry man we're moving on you ain't sorry don't lie you're moving on anyway yep all right
00:56:34next fair coming up right here it's going to be jon odom going up against damon merchant did you see
00:56:40jon make a pass yesterday no i didn't his test pass wasn't very good but they said he ran pretty good
00:56:44in his first e1 pass i don't know who he raced though he raced bobby to go to talk to bobby and see
00:56:51how it went we know how bobby runs bobby's not shy we got our draw last night and john odom i raced
00:56:57that car twice this year once with jim driving it once with john driving it we've outran them both
00:57:02times but after the problems that we've been having this weekend you can't count anybody out i don't know
00:57:07if it's a deal where you know his tuner's gonna have all the confidence in him to get it down that
00:57:11cold racetrack today so as long as vinyl hit on all eight cylinders i'm pretty sure we can outrun that
00:57:16car again jim we throwing in the kick ass tune i got david merchant today you know him and jim
00:57:24have had a little drama now he's on kai kelly's team as you guys know kai kelly's number one he is
00:57:29fast so that just makes it a little bit harder for team swanstrom just to get to that spot but we're
00:57:35working really hard jim had a problem with his car it went right last night so he's out already
00:57:46justin's out he had a problem with his car so let's just see if we can go out and get us in
00:57:49the finals and we'll help team swanstrom team wise i still got three in uh we lost david and lizzie
00:57:56ron martin's got three just like we got three if we can just make it to the next round and they all
00:58:00win we'll be tied up with him we'll keep points in between us he can't catch us
00:58:19and david merchant gets the win great pass here in the left lane for david takes the win there move
00:58:30on to the next round whoa baby that's a good race it was a good one oh i didn't think he was coming

00:59:03let go of the button on time we're back we're in michigan we're starting round two an invitational
00:59:10we won last night we got that monkey off our back we got jimmy taylor he took out justin
00:59:15swanstrom yesterday so he must be fast but we're ready for him
00:59:33jimmy's also another pro charger car pro chargers are hard to beat some guys just bouncing data off
00:59:42each other and hooking each other's computers to their cars and they're all getting faster and faster
01:00:03and kai kelly gets there first with a great pass there down the track
01:00:14we just got through round two which felt like round one because it was the first race of the day
01:00:18and our car went really fast adam nailed the tune up i think i did pretty good on the tree
01:00:24jimmy taylor he pulled on me in the middle a little bit and then my car shifted into high i just went around
01:00:29it was a lot faster and i thought i was about to go i'm real happy with it and uh i think we got a hot
01:00:35ride i think uh as long as i do my job i think they got their hands full today all right last pair
01:00:41here in the invitational class rich brooder gonna go up against clay cole we double checked all the
01:00:46wiring and the fittings on the front of the car over there yes sir and then suspension's good up front
01:00:50yep yep okay how do you feel about it i feel good i feel really good we got a good driver yeah yeah
01:00:56i got rich brooder i've not faced off against him yet i know he's got a fast hot rod but i feel like
01:01:01we're probably a little bit faster on the uh on the big end we're uh we're gonna go up there see what
01:01:06we got for rich brooder and and hopefully we'll go on with the third round so last night it was really
01:01:11cold the track temp was really really down it was it was bottom 40s so we had to pull a lot out of
01:01:16our tune up just to get down the track and if you've seen the past it was pretty sketchy already
01:01:20so today being the complete opposite we're going to be able to put all that power back in the car
01:01:24and we're going to go a lot faster today down the track and we're going to make a good a to b pass
01:01:36we got clay cole i haven't raced him this year yet he's been doing good but um like i said we got
01:01:47our hot rod back and i'm not even worried who's in the next lane we're going to race our race our lane

01:05:47gosh
01:05:49let's go
01:05:52go
01:05:53me
01:05:54i said at the very beginning if we finish in the final eight at every race consistency wins over
01:06:02just a win here and a win there so i can't be mad about that i'm not pouting over the top eight ever so
01:06:10We are officially in the bad-ass group of people here.
01:06:13And Mama Shark is coming for a glock, man.
01:06:16Pretty pass.
01:06:17Ugh.
01:06:18Huh?
01:06:19It was rough.
01:06:19It was pretty.
01:06:20I figured you was coming.
01:06:21I was.
01:06:22I figured.
01:06:26All right, next pair coming up,
01:06:27going to be Giuseppe.
01:06:29Going up against Kai.
01:06:30Hella.
01:06:33Around three, I went up, I drew Giuseppe.
01:06:36He's been struggling the last couple of weeks,
01:06:37but he's going around, so he's probably
01:06:38got it back figured out.
01:06:40We're just not going to take Giuseppe lightly.
01:06:41We're going to go out there and go as fast as we think
01:06:43we can go on this race track.
01:06:44There's $200,000 on the line.
01:06:45We've got to keep clicking that 10 points towards our pot.
01:06:59We drew Kai Kelly.
01:07:01We haven't been able to beat him this year.
01:07:02I'm feeling pretty good, though.
01:07:03The car is running really good.
01:07:04I feel like we're back to where we used to be.
01:07:06The car's making great runs again,
01:07:08so I'm feeling like we're going to go rounds,
01:07:09and we've got a chance to win this this weekend.
01:07:11.
01:07:36So we got past Giuseppe in round three.
01:07:40It was a good side-by-side race.
01:07:42Got about a fender on him, I think.
01:07:45You got me on the tree, I think.
01:07:47I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.
01:07:49In the middle, I think I did.
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:51You got me a little early, I think, in the middle.
01:07:53It was a good race.
01:07:54Man, you going so fast, you blew the wind out.
01:07:56We're going to have to watch out for you again.
01:07:57I know, I know.
01:07:58Good race, man.
01:07:59Me too, bud.
01:08:00Coming at you right here, that's going to be Rich Bruder
01:08:03going up against Axeman.
01:08:06So he agreed we raced straight up.
01:08:09I hope so.
01:08:10After the last pass.
01:08:11You trust him?
01:08:12After the last pass, you did.
01:08:13I hope you're straight up.
01:08:14I mean, if we ain't going to race straight up,
01:08:15I don't mind not racing straight up.
01:08:16We can do a...
01:08:17If you jump, something up.
01:08:18He played a game with me last week.
01:08:19I'll play it again this week.
01:08:20But if you want straight up, we got straight up.
01:08:22I'm fine, man.
01:08:23Round three, I drew Rich Bruder driving the Jackal.
01:08:26He jumped on me last weekend.
01:08:28I just showed him I can do it, too.
01:08:30I don't tell you, it brings a pair of medics if he jumped.
01:08:32So I went over, I told him, I said, I'll race you straight up.
01:08:37I said, you jumped last week, you know why I do it.
01:08:39I said, if you don't play games, I'm good with it.
01:08:41But if you don't race straight up, we'll shake on it.
01:08:43Is he going to guess on him?
01:08:44What?
01:08:45Is he going to guess on him?
01:08:46I would.
01:08:47I won't.
01:08:48I won't.
01:08:50I'll see.
01:09:05And Rich Bruder!
01:09:08Wow!
01:09:09Well, that thing's fast.
01:09:11Hey.
01:09:12That's fast.
01:09:13Damn, where did that come from?
01:09:14Hey, at the big end, it's like, oh!
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:19Good race, Larry.
01:09:20Damn, it cut off on me.
01:09:21Did it?
01:09:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09:23Our front end.
01:09:24I hate it.
01:09:25We have our hot rod back, and we can go rounds.
01:09:27And it's showing.
01:09:28Good job, bro.
01:09:29Oh, yeah, bro.
01:09:30It's always fun racing.
01:09:31Oh, man.
01:09:32All right, folks.
01:09:33Last pair here in the third round.
01:09:35That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova.
01:09:39It does not check out.
01:09:42I guarantee it doesn't.
01:09:43I got data that shows how high it is.
01:09:46It's about eight inches off the ground.
01:09:48All right.
01:09:49It's about eight inches off the ground.
01:09:50The beam's only seven.
01:09:52The beam's between five and seven.
01:09:55Seven tops.
01:09:56I think you're crazy.
01:09:57I don't think it does anything anyways.
01:10:00OK.
01:10:01I'll get it fixed before the next one.
01:10:02I think it does.
01:10:03And I would have it on him.
01:10:05We draw Nate Saylor, who is at the top of his game right now.
01:10:08He's killing it.
01:10:09His car's really fast.
01:10:11And right now, he's in the top three out here.
01:10:13We've outran him before.
01:10:14He's outran us before.
01:10:15So it can go either way.
01:10:16It just matters on who gets more aggressive with their tune-up.
01:10:17If the track holds it, I'm not real sure he can get more aggressive than what we're going to.
01:10:32And Nate Saylor will get the win.
01:11:01He's outran murder.
01:11:02Nova has problems over there in that right lane.
01:11:03He's out of the gas way early in the past.
01:11:05So Nate Saylor will move on to the semifinals.
01:11:08I told the tuner, I was like, if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling,
01:11:16now is it, because we're going to need it.
01:11:18And I think it carried the tires so damn far, I couldn't steer the car.
01:11:22So when the tires came down, I had to bring her back to the groove.
01:11:24So he put a tune-up in it.
01:11:26I wanted to win, and we won.
01:11:27And now we're going to the next round.
01:11:28We've got two Brian Martin cars in the next round.
01:11:30So we're collecting those team points.
01:11:31I let go of the button, and it just shook instantly.
01:11:34Dude, I carried the tires so damn far, I couldn't steer.
01:11:38Nice job.
01:11:39Nice job, man.
01:11:40Thanks, brother.
01:11:41Yeah, I don't know.
01:11:42I don't know if it broke the gears, but they're howling the whole way.
01:11:45So I didn't even make it to the 60 foot.
01:11:48Well, I'm not going to bull you.
01:11:49If you lost, I just assumed it'd be for me.
01:11:50Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:11:51And if I lost, I just...
01:11:52For sure, for sure.
01:11:53I'm good with it.
01:11:54So there you have it, folks.
01:11:55Damon Merchant, Kai Kelly, Rich Bruder, and Nate Saylor moving on.
01:12:00All right, we're going to go and get started with our invitational semifinals drivers meeting.
01:12:08Folks, we started with 32 drivers.
01:12:10We are now down to four.
01:12:12Four drivers.
01:12:13Man, we are close.
01:12:15All the teams have been knocked out except for Team Kai Kelly and Team Ryan Martin.
01:12:19Kai, they're kind of catching up on you.
01:12:21Yeah.
01:12:22Look, man, do you just not like number one?
01:12:24You prefer number two?
01:12:28No, you know, all year, Damon's been, like, really close to me.
01:12:31So I went ahead and bought him, Ryan, to worry about that.
01:12:35There you go.
01:12:36I like the strategy.
01:12:37All right.
01:12:38All right, look.
01:12:39Kai's nothing but honest over here.
01:12:40He has a plan.
01:12:41I like it.
01:12:42All right, let's draw chips, y'all.
01:12:48Where are my number ones?
01:12:52Y'all want to trade?
01:12:53Oh, wow.
01:12:54The teammates drew each other.
01:12:56Damon Merchant versus Kai Kelly, which means the other teammates drew each other.
01:13:00Rich Bruder versus Nate Saylor.
01:13:03But what that does guarantee is it'll be a Team Kai Kelly, Team Ryan Martin Finals.
01:13:08All right, y'all.
01:13:09Go back to the pits.
01:13:10Get your cars turned around.
01:13:11Now, I'll tell you, $10,000 does sound good right about now.
01:13:14Invitational semi-finals coming at you right now.
01:13:25Hey, take it easy on me.
01:13:27Make it look like a good race, man.
01:13:28You hope you won.
01:13:29So chip draw did not go our way going into the semi-finals here.
01:13:33Ryan's got two guys in.
01:13:35Kai and myself are in.
01:13:37It would have been great for points if we could have drew them two, put them out, went in the finals together.
01:13:42Chips didn't fall that way, so we got Kai.
01:13:45Any time you throw me in a race to race for $40,000, I'm not laying down for any team captain, teammate, or anything.
01:14:05We're going to give them hell out there, and like I said, the best car is going to go to the finals.
01:14:10Hey, Boosh.
01:14:11Yes.
01:14:12Yes, Axeman.
01:14:13Aren't these two on the same team?
01:14:14Who?
01:14:15Nate and Damon.
01:14:16Ryan paid for Nate and Kai paid for Damon.
01:14:17I don't really watch social media much.
01:14:18What happened?
01:14:19You missed the first day.
01:14:20There was some trading that went on.
01:14:21Nate and Saylor went to Ryan Martin's team, and Damon Merchant went to Kai Kelly's team.
01:14:25You don't even know?
01:14:26So they bought them?
01:14:27No.
01:14:28No.
01:14:29You missed the first day.
01:14:30There was some trading that went on.
01:14:35Nate and Saylor went to Ryan Martin's team, and Damon Merchant went to Kai Kelly's team.
01:14:38You don't even know?
01:14:39They bought them?
01:14:40Yeah.
01:14:41I didn't see it.
01:14:42Man.
01:14:43We got sold.
01:14:44So literally paid money for them?
01:14:45Yeah, there's a little bit of money exchanged.
01:14:46Both sold these two guys.
01:14:47Holy.
01:14:48I was in a bunny.
01:14:49And then I didn't get anything.
01:14:50And Ryan?
01:14:51Ryan done it too?
01:14:52Ryan did it also.
01:14:53No way.
01:14:54Actually, Ryan was the first one that did the trade.
01:14:57But y'all's team, you know, co-captain is the one who started this whole deal.
01:15:02Yeah, your team started the fire.
01:15:03Dave tried to, but he didn't get his money right.
01:15:05Couldn't get his money right.
01:15:06All right.
01:15:07All right.
01:15:08Can we move on?
01:15:09Can we move on now?
01:15:11And rotational semi-finals coming at you right now.
01:15:27Kai Kelly gets the win.
01:15:29Kai left first.
01:15:30Never looked back.
01:15:31Both guys are driving those cars there.
01:15:33Kai Kelly gets the win.
01:15:34He will go to the finals.
01:15:36Picking up Damon, that's probably the best $10,000 I ever spent.
01:15:39He went to the semis with me today.
01:15:41He helped me hold off Ryan's team from getting any points on us.
01:15:44He puts him to work.
01:15:45He's got a bad-ass fast car.
01:15:47I raced side by side with him.
01:15:48It's whoever leaves on the light.
01:15:50And to be able to buy somebody like that and put him on your team,
01:15:52it's just a gift.
01:15:53Appreciate it, bud.
01:15:54Hey, man.
01:15:55You passed me.
01:15:56What happened?
01:15:57Let him loose, man.
01:15:58There he goes.
01:15:59That was a race.
01:16:00Last pair here in the semi-finals for the Invitational Class.
01:16:05Rich Bruder going up against Nate Saylor.
01:16:10Sucks, but at least one of us are moving on to the next round.
01:16:14One team Ryan's going to the next round, period.
01:16:16That's the only thing that's good about this.
01:16:18Semi-finals, we got Rich Bruder.
01:16:20Didn't want that.
01:16:21We were trying to stay away from each other so we could race each other in the final.
01:16:26Stay safe.
01:16:27Have fun.
01:16:28We'll see you on the other side.
01:16:29We're going to put a tune-up in the car.
01:16:30We know it's going to haul ass.
01:16:32He's going to do the same.
01:16:33I guarantee it.
01:16:34And we're going to see if we can go get some money and some points and get into the final.
01:16:48If the track's going to be there, I don't think there's going to be an issue with that.
01:16:51We're hanging more weight on the front end.
01:16:53This is the fastest passes we've been made to date.
01:16:56It's been shown.
01:16:57We're going rounds now.
01:16:58So hopefully we'll be back and be in the final.
01:17:00And Nate Sailor will take the win.
01:17:01That was a drag race.
01:17:02Super close to the other end.
01:17:03But Nate Sailor turns on the win light.
01:17:05So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Sailor for five minutes.
01:17:12And Nate Sailor will take the win.
01:17:14That was a drag race.
01:17:15Super close to the other end.
01:17:16But Nate Sailor turns on the win light.
01:17:18So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Sailor for $40,000.
01:17:25Good race, brother.
01:17:26Thanks, man.
01:17:27Good job.
01:17:28Thanks.
01:17:29We got our front ends high up.
01:17:30We got to make a bar change on this thing now.
01:17:31Oh, man.
01:17:32This thing did a monster wheelie.
01:17:33Yeah, same thing.
01:17:34It was awesome.
01:17:35Good job.
01:17:36Thanks, brother.
01:17:37We're going to go win us the championship.
01:17:38That's it.
01:17:39That's it.
01:17:40We're going to do it.
01:17:41All right, Michigan.
01:17:42This is your invitational final right here, right now.
01:17:43Dude, I want this one so bad.
01:17:44I can't even tell you.
01:17:45Finals here.
01:17:46We're against Kai Kelly, and that is my kryptonite.
01:17:48He has beat me three out of three times.
01:17:49Hello.
01:17:50Hello.
01:17:51Hello.
01:17:52Hello.
01:17:53Hello.
01:17:54Hello.
01:17:55Hello.
01:17:56Hello.

01:17:58Hello.
01:17:59Hello.
01:18:00Hello.
01:18:01Hello.
01:18:02Hello.
01:18:03Hello.
01:18:04Hello.
01:18:05Hello.
01:18:06Hello.
01:18:07Hello.
01:18:08Hello.
01:18:09Hello.
01:18:10Hello.
01:18:11Hello.
01:18:12Everything is ready to go fast?
01:18:13Yep.
01:18:14I know they're going to throw the kitchen sink at it.
01:18:16Because they know when we were running them before, we were right there at his door.
01:18:20Well, this car is faster now.
01:18:23I don't want to think these guys all pooled their money together to buy me, and I'm not doing
01:18:29my job.
01:18:30So I'm out here trying to do the best I can for my team.
01:18:36Well, let's see what happens here.
01:18:37What happens here?
01:18:45These drivers are racing for $40,000.
01:18:49Win or lose, we'll be at least 100 points ahead of Dave's team.
01:18:52Not to mention, we're about to go up there and race for $40,000.
01:18:56This right here will be a drag race between these two extremely fast cars.
01:19:02When Nate Sailor first came into the MPK,
01:19:04you know, everybody was saying he had a lot of money,
01:19:06he was going to be fast, going to be hard to deal with,
01:19:08and he's done one thing that most of the rich guys don't do.
01:19:11He's putting in the work. He's out testing.
01:19:13He knows his car. He's got a good tuner.
01:19:15Let's see who will win the bag of money.
01:19:19So if there was any time that we needed to bring our best game up there, it's now.
01:19:36Oh, and Nate Sailor gets the win.
01:19:47What a drag race.
01:19:51Kai Kelly was right there.
01:19:53But Nate Sailor is your $40,000 winner.
01:19:58I'm on cloud nine, dude.
01:20:03We made some changes on the car to go fast, quicker, let go of the button.
01:20:08He left right with me, and it was door to door.
01:20:12And then my car was coming in his lane, his car was going to hit the wall, but we got the win.
01:20:18Nate Sailor and crew, Michigan.
01:20:21Whoo!
01:20:23We got a fast race car. We're on a good team.
01:20:25We're going to come for that championship.
01:20:27About to hit some wall, buddy.
01:20:28Wow, dude, I about to hit you.
01:20:29Yeah, good race, man. You deserve it, for real.
01:20:31Thanks, brother.
01:20:32I told him, I said if he beats me, I ain't going to be mad,
01:20:34because I beat him several times this year.
01:20:35Three out of three, you beat me.
01:20:36It was a good race, though.
01:20:38Believe it or not, I feel pretty good coming out of the final race.
01:20:40I did get my ass kicked, but I beat on Nate Sailor all year.
01:20:43It was due. He beat me today, but what we did do is me and Damon went to the semis with him.
01:20:48We made sure they didn't make up any ground on us in the championship.
01:20:50And that's what it's all about right now.
01:20:52We're racing for $200,000.
01:20:54I'm going home. I'm safe.
01:20:55My car don't have no scratches on it.
01:20:57And Nate Sailor got a win.
01:20:59All right. Nate Sailor, it is payday, sir.
01:21:02Look, you battled all weekend and steamrolled through the Invitational Class.
01:21:08Two in one season.
01:21:10Nate Sailor, congratulations, man.
01:21:13What are you thinking?
01:21:14Man, I'm just, I can't tell you how excited we are.
01:21:17We're on a new team.
01:21:18Team Ryan Martin Proud right there already paying off.
01:21:23We made a big move for our team.
01:21:25You know, Nate's car is really fast.
01:21:27He's won two events now.
01:21:28Me picking him up paid off dramatically for me.
01:21:31He won the race.
01:21:32He took our team to 110 off first place.
01:21:35And while that might seem like a lot, with the points and a half and the points and a half and the double points, it's very achievable.
01:21:40Woo!
01:21:41Woo!
01:21:42Woo!
01:21:43Look at that, Nate Sailor, man.
01:21:45Hey!
01:21:46Congratulations, sir.
01:21:47$40,000.
01:21:48Nate Sailor!
01:21:49Woo!
01:21:50Woo!
01:21:51Woo!
01:21:52Woo!
01:21:53Nate Sailor has won his second Invitational of the season.
01:21:56You gotta ask yourself, where did this guy come from? And how did the other teams miss him?
01:22:03With that being said, Ryan Martin has to be pleased with himself, his team, and his decisions, as he is now within 10 points of Team Dave.
01:22:11He's gotta be feeling pretty good about himself.
01:22:14There's only three events left, and at this point, it is anyone's championship.
01:22:19Next week.
01:22:20All right, Galant Learn Sports Park, how y'all doing today?
01:22:23I think we got the most solid team there is here, as long as we can keep things together.
01:22:28He got Ryan with a lot of momentum.
01:22:33Kai's team might be holding the lead in points.
01:22:36Kai's been running away with this deal. We need to go get him, and this is our chance to make a big move.
01:22:42Ah!
01:22:45But, the fight for the championship is far from being over.
01:22:48Bodhi, you still have a couple guys on your team you have not sold.
01:22:51Points and a half, and then the double.
01:22:52Yeah, three races to either catch up or forget it.
01:22:54And at this point right now, we're getting left behind.
01:22:56Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship, we are not.
01:22:59So, we're gonna do whatever we can to get Scott Taylor on our team.
01:23:02Oh my God!
01:23:03Is it gonna happen?
01:23:11Or just.
01:23:12Well done?
01:23:13There was a team...
01:23:14I know I know.
01:23:15I did a team, but and eleven stars...
01:23:16...You see...
01:23:16I see there, a team now,
01:23:17and they just follow him...
01:23:18summer, but I wasn't too lucky enough to get them.
01:23:20Music is the teamřiperster, had their teams действ욱 that they were the week...
01:23:22Are covered...
01:23:23I know he is a great team, a team,
01:23:24That is kinda expensive, isn't that, itachi?
01:23:26Yeah?!
