00:00Hi.
00:01I know.
00:02We're actually not currently at Hot Rod Garage.
00:04We're actually at Super Street Garage.
00:06Thanks for letting us borrow the shop, guys.
00:08Because we actually did lose the shop.
00:10But the good thing is we did not lose Hot Rod Garage, the show,
00:14and we will be back with you guys for a whole other season.
00:17Good job.
00:18It was easy.
00:19So we have HRG Day, our national holiday, happening at the end of this week.
00:24This is a day where we celebrate our season with our friends and lots of cool cars
00:28and make use of the drag strip.
00:31Last season, we got a couple of people to stop by.
00:33But this time, they didn't say no, so we have a bunch of people stopping by.
00:37So we decided we would take the cars that are new this season and put a time on them.
00:42Yeah, they may need a little track time.
00:43A little track time, which includes the typhoon here.
00:46Right.
00:46The Volkswagen bug.
00:48We know it runs because there's actually a video of me screaming
00:50on the passenger seat of you driving around the freeway.
00:52Hold on, everybody.
00:54The Roadster.
00:55The Roadster is going to be a good time for sure.
00:57He's taking a land speed car.
00:58To the drag strip.
00:59And then we've also got the panel truck.
01:02Taking a push car to the drag strip.
01:06And the Grand National, which is not new, but it has a new lease on life.
01:09There's not really that much work to do except this little beauty right here.
01:14Yeah, we've got to get rid of the special effects generator on this thing.
01:17Yeah.
01:17Otherwise known as a broken turbo.
01:19So when we took the typhoon out, we had a really good time with it.
01:23It drove good.
01:24It had good power.
01:25However, the guy behind us didn't have as good of a time because there was a lot of smoke coming out of this.
01:30We believe that it's probably just some turbo seals or something internally in the turbo that's leaking, causing that smoke.
01:37So we're going to go ahead and replace the turbo on this, which should be a simple job.
01:42Also, you guys hear that?
01:44Sorry about the noise.
01:45Borrowed shop.
01:46Open location.
01:48Share with us.
01:48We're working in a new shop to us where we don't even know where the tools are.
01:52We're working in very close quarters.
01:54So we have a lot of things to work around here.
01:57So who knows how long it's going to take.
01:59But if we do get it done in time, maybe we can pull the bug in and make a little bit of an upgrade.
02:04So for the bug, Cotton and Newbern left a perfectly good engine sitting on a pallet that they pulled out of the Baja bug they built.
02:13So we're going to bring that over and swap that in.
02:15So only three days to work, but the good news is we will have plenty of cars to take and party with at HRG Day at the end of the week.
02:22So I think it's about time to get to work.
02:24Typhoon is up first.
02:30Metric.
02:31Look at this.
02:32Hmm.
02:33Is there any standard stuff here?
02:36Even the chisels are metric.
02:38We're definitely not at our own house here.
02:40We have no idea where anything is.
02:42So we're just taking a little tour, a little peruse.
02:44Lucky light.
02:44I found a nice jackpot drawer of cordless tools.
02:50You don't need that right now.
02:51What are we doing?
02:51You don't need that.
02:52Are you sure?
02:52You don't need it.
02:53There is one specific drawer that says all standard sockets.
02:58And you can tell.
02:59We're super strict.
03:00Love you guys.
03:14There's a lot of work right there.
03:20I don't care who you are.
03:22Turbo's out.
03:23We've got to take a break.
03:24So this is a turbo from Sport Machines.
03:27It has an anti-search compressor and also has a billet wastegate with springs so you can adjust your boost where this one is 14 pounds of boost max.
03:37Now this is a boost management you're always talking about.
03:39Not quite, but one step in that direction, yes.
03:42I'm going to transfer the drain hose and then swap over the fittings to the new turbo.
03:46It should fit right back in there.
03:48When you have smoke like we had, hopefully that is our issue.
03:51There's a couple different things you can check.
03:53We could potentially have rebuilt that turbo, but when we can have an upgrade of some sort, we might as well do it.
04:00Always go for the upgrade.
04:00We love an upgrade.
04:03With this turbo comes an array of boost springs.
04:08And I was taking the other one off with three different size wrenches, a crow's foot, a pickle fork, and a couple different size sockets.
04:16I was thinking, man, if I only had allen bolts holding this thing together, I could use one tool and do it faster.
04:23These guys are really doing their homework.
04:24I appreciate it.
04:27There you go.
04:28All right.
04:29Alex, which spring are we putting into this thing?
04:32The yellow spring that we took out was in the stock boost range, which was max on this turbo is 14 and a half.
04:38We don't do stock at HRG.
04:39We don't.
04:40So we're going to go with the red spring, which is a range of 17 to 20 pounds of boost.
04:45You have to get the combination that's right for your engine combination.
04:49Bigger is not always better.
04:52We are going to go with what?
04:53I'm sorry.
04:54I can't hear you right now.
04:54Sport Machines recommends.
04:55This compressor housing is supposed to help with surge.
05:00So that's the way the air moves on the inside of this.
05:03If you cut a housing open, it's not just a snail shape.
05:06It is.
05:07But there is science behind how the air moves and what that shape looks like inside.
05:13So even though these look very similar, the insides of the housing, they are a little bit different.
05:20Bunch of little imports in here.
05:22Everything echoes off these little cars.
05:23It's just weird.
05:24The only thing that doesn't echo is horsepower.
05:26In your life!
05:34Ah!
05:35Okay, so technically I just installed a muffler.
05:37Well, it's an interesting way to say that.
05:39It makes it quieter.
05:40Yeah.
05:40The upside is it spins and makes pressure.
05:42We've been talking about a boba run in this typhoon since episode one of this season.
05:48You know what we haven't done yet?
05:49A boba run in the typhoon.
05:51And you know what we could do today?
05:53A boba run in the typhoon?
05:54Say it with me.
05:54A boba run in the typhoon, yeah.
05:56It could happen.
05:58Okay, so turbo officially installed.
06:00We need to fire it up and check for leaks, but everything is hooked up.
06:04Have very few extra parts, so that's a step in the right direction.
06:08And we can get out there and take this thing for a test boba.
06:12I mean, drive.
06:13Did you say boba?
06:14Maybe.
06:15Boba.
06:16Hit it, Alex.
06:22Well, we didn't break anything.
06:24Let me put a tire on it.
06:25Hit the streets.
06:32The time has finally come to take the typhoon out for a test drive to see if it's still smoking.
06:37Because once we get this to the track for HRG Day, which is going to be great, we want
06:41to make sure this is ironed out.
06:43And it needs to go to the streets for a little testing.
06:46And then after that, there's a bug and an engine that, once we get this out, do a little
06:50shuffling and move this here and that there, that can come in and we can get ready to pull
06:54it apart.
06:55Ooh, let me check all your information.
06:57Yep, you're absolutely correct.
06:58I'm just ready for boba.
06:59So what the kids are doing now?
07:00Let's go now.
07:00All right, let's go.
07:01Let's go.
07:01Let's go.
07:01Let's go.
07:02Let's go.
07:03Let's go.
07:04Let's go.
07:05Let's go.
07:07Rent a shop.
07:10I want to say right now, this thing's pulled right off.
07:14I think that we could potentially get in a lot of trouble.
07:17That sounds fun.
07:28Never been this good.
07:29Just a little aggressive.
07:40It gets up and it goes.
07:41Yes, it does.
07:44So we got less smoke, more boots.
07:47Exactly.
07:47Hopefully that doesn't lead to more smoke of a different type.
07:50I smoke's okay.
07:51But the transmission's new.
07:53Everything on this thing is new.
07:54Yeah.
07:55I think I'm the oldest part on the car.
07:57It's okay.
08:03That makes cool sound.
08:04This is just recipe for movie violation.
08:13I'm going to go get some bobes.
08:15Okay, bobe it up.
08:17Let's talk boba.
08:18I've had two bobes in my life.
08:21Both of them Alex talked me in too.
08:22Sometimes you just got to say, what the heck?
08:25Bobe me.
08:27We have been bobed.
08:29I see you at Gummy Bears.
08:31What?
08:31Dude.
08:33Messmaker.
08:33Cheers.
08:34Cheers.
08:35Well, that was a good time.
08:37It was.
08:37We didn't smoke everyone out behind us.
08:39We got plenty of boost.
08:41Plenty of boost.
08:42And the car still rides great.
08:44And the whole back of the car is still full of a bunch of extra parts.
08:47So I say we drag that stuff out.
08:48Yep.
08:48Blow it out with an air hose.
08:50Okay.
08:50Move on to the next project.
08:51The next project is the bug.
08:54So we'll get this out.
08:55We're going to play car shuffle.
08:56Pull the bug in.
08:57And then get ready to swap a new bug engine into it.
09:01I'm ready.
09:02Are you ready?
09:02I'm ready.
09:03Boba.
09:03So now that our tight quarters are rearranged and rearranged again, shout out to our crew
09:17for being very flexible in our working situation.
09:20They're like ninjas.
09:21It's time to do a little bug work.
09:24So yeah, on Hot Rod Garage, we've been spending some time slowing you down all season.
09:27That is okay.
09:28This is the best we can do right now is 41 more cc's.
09:31Which came out of Continent New Bern's bug.
09:35That Baja bug.
09:35Yes.
09:36Right.
09:37This is a little bit of an upgrade.
09:38This one has dual carbs.
09:40Have you pulled both of your motors out before?
09:42I have not, but I've seen many videos where it's very simple.
09:45So simple.
09:46Yeah.
09:46A 1600 dual port dual carbs going in.
09:49Mm-hmm.
09:49Mystery motor with single Solex coming out.
09:52Yes.
09:52Ding.
09:53Okay.
09:54Take your meeting.
09:55Ignition 12 volts.
09:56Okay.
09:56This side of the coil.
09:57Yep.
09:57These wires right here power the alternator and the IEL solenoid.
10:00Unplug the oil pressure.
10:01Right.
10:02Center.
10:02Take that off and just wrap some tape around it or we can unhook the battery.
10:05Okay.
10:05That's super irresponsible.
10:06Let's unhook the battery.
10:07Let's unhook the battery.
10:07Okay.
10:08You have a 10 millimeter?
10:09I have a 10 millimeter.
10:11We have a couple of eights.
10:12A flat-handed screwdriver.
10:1317 millimeter or 11 sixties if you don't have metric.
10:15Start the clock.
10:20Teamwork.
10:22Oil pressure center.
10:2412 volts.
10:25Another flathead is on the floor right there.
10:27So where this comes from is there is actual competition for this.
10:31Did you stop the clock?
10:32No.
10:32Anyways, we're just doing this for fun.
10:34You got that on hoax.
10:37Okay.
10:38So up, up, and away.
10:39Going up.
10:40Three minutes and 21 seconds on the clock.
10:43Oh, unhook the fuel line.
10:44Unhook the fuel line, fuel line, fuel line, fuel line, fuel line.
10:46Here we are.
10:47We're going to lose the shot.
10:48Oh, wait.
10:48We already lost the shot.
10:50You know what's holding that motor in right now?
10:51Here.
10:52Nine minutes.
10:55Okay.
10:56Take her up.
10:57Stop right there.
10:58Okay.
10:59I'm going to say that's out.
11:00All right.
11:01And stop.
11:0212 minutes, 13 seconds.
11:04This was out of the car.
11:05Did we beat competition time?
11:06Probably not.
11:07But that's pretty good for hot rod garage time.
11:09Yeah, he's good.
11:10He said that was really good.
11:1112 minutes, 13 seconds.
11:12Is that what she said?
11:14That's what he said.
11:14So this one's out.
11:15This one will be ready to go in.
11:16But we'll probably clean up a little bit before we do that.
11:19And go on a parts run.
11:20That's the most water I've ever seen a lucky drink.
11:32Okay.
11:32So I just hang that up right there.
11:34Yeah.
11:35That's pretty good.
11:36Okay.
11:36We got a stack of motors here.
11:38What's going on over here?
11:39That looks better, right?
11:40Approved, as you were.
11:45So two engines?
11:46Yes.
11:47Two exhaust systems?
11:48Correct.
11:48They both have to come off.
11:49I'll pull off this exhaust.
11:50You pull off the shiny, pretty one.
11:52Okay.
11:53We're going to pull off both these carburetors and the shroud because we have an oil cooler upgrade.
12:11Work.
12:11All right.
12:12So this thing is thoroughly disassembled.
12:15So it's almost time to go on a parts run in our type thing.
12:18You know what?
12:19I concur with your diagnosis.
12:20And then we can revisit this.
12:22Did we actually fix the car yesterday that we're going to use to chase parts today?
12:24Yeah, we did.
12:25What is going on here?
12:26Parts chase it.
12:35Sometimes those parts are fast.
12:37That's true.
12:38So this is good.
12:39You should keep up with some of those parts.
12:47Oh, cool.
12:48So this is our local auto parts store.
12:51Just import parts.
12:53Well, right from the get-go, we need that.
12:54We just got that.
12:56Air clears.
12:57Pre-case ventilation.
12:59Okay.
12:59You need ABS plastic instrument panel cover right here?
13:03Luggage rack with the wood on it.
13:04Yeah.
13:05I'm pretty sure you need a luggage rack.
13:06Thankfully, all of this is very readily available and it's local and it's easy.
13:10So it's great.
13:11So we're adding to our basket and then we're going to stop back there and grab some more stuff.
13:15All right.
13:15So we have a little bit of a list of things that we need to get.
13:19We need battery terminals, too, because mine busted earlier.
13:23Two battery terminals.
13:24Yeah, we're going to have a nice car and this is what happens.
13:26Oh, wait.
13:27You paid for that yourself.
13:30Thanks, buddy.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Have a nice day.
13:32Let it be known that on this day, I'm reminded Alice to put on her seatbelt.
13:46We got the stuff that we needed to go on this.
13:48Time to get this thing back in the shape that it needs to be so that we can go in the bug
13:52and we can time ourselves and finish our competition.
13:55This had some aftermarket tan on it.
13:56It still has aftermarket tan.
13:57However, this was chrome, not feeling the chrome, and we got this nice, clean repop
14:04that has been electroplated.
14:06Normally, the oil cooler is just this component right here and it's just in the middle and
14:10the fan on the back of the alternator blows through it.
14:13It's enough to be efficient, but this is more horsepower, more carburetors.
14:17We want it to look small and simple, this little 36-horse style shroud.
14:21However, on the back of it is the doghouse.
14:24So, an oversized oil cooler slides right up inside there and it's getting much air blown
14:29over it.
14:33Man, it's like it was made for it.
14:36Now, this goes over everything.
14:40It is time to put the fan, which is also mounted to the alternator on, and that should be coming
14:44in right about now.
14:54Okay, alternators install the 36-horse shroud with, allow me to say it one more time, doghouse
15:03oil cooler mounted on the back is all good.
15:05We got all new tin, not just the stuff that you see.
15:08That's kind of cool.
15:09We have to make a couple of small brackets, one of them to hold the coil, and we have
15:14to install an electric fuel pump.
15:15That motor has a mechanical fuel pump.
15:17This one is going to have an electric fuel pump in the front, because you know why?
15:21It's a pump, not a suck.
15:25There was all kinds of glue and gunk and oil and nasty stuff back here, so I went ahead
15:30and cleaned it with brake clean to get all the oil off and things like that.
15:33Scrape what I couldn't.
15:34Is it perfect?
15:35No.
15:36But is it going to look much better than it did?
15:38Yes.
15:38I'm going to spray some paint on it, and then I think we're going to let the paint dry tonight.
15:43You know what I'm saying?
15:43Yeah.
15:47This is actually a truck bed coating, so it's got a little texture to it, that way it covers
15:51up any imperfections.
15:53I do need a couple more coats, because I just like to get it a little bit thicker.
15:56But overall, very happy with it.
15:59I know I should have masked it off, but we're in Super Street Garage, and I don't see stuff
16:03to mask stuff off around here, so forgive me.
16:06I'll clean the overspray off.
16:11Okay, it is a new day here at Hot Rod Garage.
16:13So it is time to put this in, and we can start making some forward progress.
16:18And then we have to do a coil mount, and put the two carbs on, and crankcase ventilation.
16:24It's called a puke box.
16:26Puke box.
16:27Oil splashes into it, and when you stop driving, it drains back into the motor.
16:31So time to go in.
16:32Yeah, I'll push from the back.
16:33So originally, these cars had six-volt generators, and the other engine that came out had an
16:45alternator.
16:46It had been converted, but it was much smaller than this 12-volt alternator that's on here,
16:50so it's just giving us a little bit of clearance room.
16:53It's going to fit.
16:53It just was a little harder to get there.
16:55Oh, it's going to fit.
16:57Oh, yeah.
16:58Whoa.
16:59Pretty close, right?
17:00So the 1641 question mark is officially installed.
17:04Alex is under there tightening up a couple of the bottom bolts, and actually the driver's
17:08side top bolt, because nuts are actually in the case for that.
17:11They don't put a nut on this side.
17:12I think the next bet is going to be to massage those dual, empty carburetors on this thing.
17:20What if they're going to fit without cutting?
17:21All right, we are putting J-tubes on now to go with our exhaust system instead of the
17:35heater box that were on there, so this car will no longer have a heater, but that's okay.
17:45J-tubes installed, exhausts installed.
17:47Drop the car back down, start hooking up the little things, fuel line, puke box, wires.
17:54Getting closer.
17:58Dual carbs?
17:59Something this car has never seen.
18:01How many quarters around this place?
18:04I built all the wire separators, got those on.
18:07Got the vacuum line from left to right, dual carburetors, way to sink them.
18:12Last thing I have to mount on there is going to be crankcase ventilation.
18:14Before I can put this on, I have to make sure the throttle linkage isn't interfering with
18:20anything, the rewiring isn't interfering, the vacuum line, sparkler wires, kind of get
18:25to put it all together at the same time and make sure it all fits.
18:29So it's time to test it out.
18:38I think it is time to test it out.
18:41Mark, give it a crank.
18:49Set it up!
18:51So, can you hear the grinding noise?
18:53Yeah.
18:54So that is the fan inside the shroud, just making a funny noise, so we're going to adjust
18:58that.
18:58Okay.
18:59And the carbs are way out of sync, so.
19:01So, uh, so we can adjust.
19:03Yeah.
19:03I feel good about it.
19:04Okay.
19:05On to the little things.
19:06It starts, though.
19:07Yeah.
19:07We haven't broken anything.
19:11So this is a carb sink tool.
19:13We have two single barrel carbs on here.
19:16I put it on here.
19:16It measures the amount of air that's flowing through this little pinturi right here.
19:20What that does is cause a little float inside there to move.
19:24Gives you a reference to how much air is actually flowing into the carburetor.
19:27And I'm able to move it from this side to that side.
19:30And use the throttle linkage to synchronize each carburetor.
19:34Once it's all synced and calibrated, I lock it down.
19:36The idle basically is set.
19:38Then we just move to the air fuel adjustment screws.
19:41And make it run maybe not quite so fast.
19:44See a little black smoke in there.
19:45The idea of synchronizing the carburetor is that if you were to accelerate and this one
19:49were to open before that one, there'd be a big vibration.
19:52So as you step on the gas pedal, which is what I'm going to do now, it pulls this carburetor
19:56open and that carburetor open at the same time.
20:00Sweet.
20:01So after syncing both carbs, tightening down the throttle linkage.
20:05I feel pretty good about that.
20:08I'm going to mount the foil.
20:09I marked a little spot.
20:09I discussed it with Loose Management.
20:12She said that this is where she likes it.
20:14So this is where it's going to go.
20:15Handled.
20:26Hey, that's good.
20:29That's a whole new engine.
20:34Does it clear the bumper?
20:36There we go.
20:37Okay, so I think we're about done.
20:40Yes, we are.
20:41Should we recap on what exactly we did?
20:43Yes, we should.
20:44Okay, first I had a delicious chocolate bar.
20:46Not that.
20:47And then I had some rice krispies.
20:49No, no, no.
20:50To recap, remember we got kicked out of the shop.
20:52We lost the shop.
20:53We lost the shop.
20:54But we got a new season.
20:55We did get a new season.
20:57So they brought us here to Super Street Garage.
20:59Brought the typhoon in?
21:00Yeah.
21:00Had to get that ready for the track.
21:01Yes, we did.
21:02So all we did was slap a turbo on it.
21:04More boost.
21:05A lot more boost.
21:06And then we backed that out.
21:08We pulled the bug in.
21:09Bug was running fine.
21:10But, well, you know, a little more power.
21:12A little more better.
21:12Yeah, it had a one point nothing in it.
21:14Now it's got one point nothing.
21:16But it has two carburetors.
21:17It does.
21:17It looks cooler.
21:18It sounds good.
21:19It looks cleaner.
21:20It's fresh.
21:21It's fun.
21:21It's hip.
21:22It's cool.
21:23It's edgy.
21:24It's edgy.
21:24I forgot that one.
21:25Now it's done.
21:26It's time to back this out.
21:27And lucky for you guys, it is time for HRG Day.
21:30And we are going to have a party celebrating our friends, a good season, race cars, and having fun in general.
21:36And we're heading straight to the racetrack to jump into Bounce House and have tacos.
21:41I was just going to say, there's going to be a Bounce House and tacos and cool cars.
21:45See you guys there.
21:45And we made it all the way to Fimoso Dragstrip in beautiful Bakersfield, California.
22:00It is HRG Day.
22:02This is the second annual where we celebrate friends that love cars and horsepower.
22:07Woo!
22:07And we make it a party celebrating a great year.
22:10We put the HRG signal out and our friends showed up.
22:14And this year, HRG Day is bigger than it was last year.
22:17This year, we even got a Bounce House.
22:19You cannot wait to say that, could you?
22:21I am so excited!
22:22We can drag a bunch of our own cars out here that we worked on all season.
22:25We are taking all of these down the track today to put a time on them.
22:29So we did a little bit of work this time.
22:31The Bug got a new engine.
22:32Right.
22:33We got the Typhoon.
22:34We put a new turbo on it.
22:35And that thing came to life.
22:36We're about to prove that to you right now.
22:38Yeah, and they're both in a pretty happy state.
22:40I love the sound of cars in the morning.
22:45And something about it being on HRG Day just makes me happy.
22:48Hold on, they're playing my song.
22:49They hit all the notes.
22:50Timed perfectly.
22:52The last time we had the roadster out, it did really good.
22:55It's so rowdy for a flathead.
22:56It really woke me up this morning.
22:58While the rest of these cars don't have a quarter mile of time on them, the Grand National does.
23:01But it's different track conditions out here today, different weather, so it deserves another attempt.
23:07And the one that's at the end of the lineup may or may not make a pass down the track.
23:12The last time you saw the panel truck, we ran out of time to put the tunnel ram on, so...
23:16Yeah, everybody needs an anchor.
23:17Our house happens to be parked right over there.
23:19It is time to celebrate.
23:20Let's get the day started with our party people in a party place.
23:24Fire them up!
23:25Fire them up!
23:55Fire them up!
24:25It's even kind of sketchy.
24:27I'm driving, helmet on, concentrating, and all I see is in my peripheral air going.
24:33You know how the cars ride at Disneyland?
24:36It's way better than that.
24:41All right, guys.
24:43So don't blink because you're going to miss how fast this path is.
24:46Actually, please just don't take a nap because it's going to be really slow.
24:49But it's so fun!
25:04Okay, so Alex just made a pretty impressive pass for a Volkswagen Beetle with a mystery motor in it.
25:09I think I might be able to match that.
25:19I like the bug. I can see it now.
25:42I need a bigger motor, different cage, stronger parts, and I want to see bug wheelies next year.
25:48So I left pretty decent. It felt pretty good. It felt boost.
25:52I felt that actual boost management that Alex is always talking about.
25:55And then when I went in the second, this was in my hand.
25:58I was just like, that doesn't seem right.
26:00So then I was batting at the shifter.
26:01I think we'll make one more pass and see if I can actually make it shift on time.
26:04Okay, that one felt a little bit better, and I didn't pull the shift lever off.
26:21Like an 1188 at 117.
26:24It's pretty good. 11 second driver.
26:26Okay, so I want to put this back over in the pit area and let it cool down.
26:30I see Greg just pulled out.
26:31If you remember, Greg is the guy that helped build the Savoy,
26:33pulling up into his 52 Chevy truck, it looks like.
26:36I don't know if it's a chassis swap or not.
26:38The guy's an artist.
26:39Let's see if he can shift.
26:40Let's see if he can shift.
27:10So we are well underway at HRG Day,
27:30and I am very impressed that people actually heard the HRG call and showed up.
27:35Absolutely.
27:36Generally, when we come up here to Famoso Drag Strip and borrow the track,
27:41it's generally just us and a few of our friends and the production crew and everything.
27:44Very calm.
27:45It's still a good time, though.
27:47This time, it's like a real bit.
27:49Organized chaos.
27:50We have fast cars making passes.
27:53We've got lots of cool cars.
27:54We have our own stuff making passes.
27:56Right.
27:56There's a huge right there making a pass.
27:58You don't see that every day.
27:59I don't see that every day.
28:00The bug did pretty good.
28:01Yeah, you know what?
28:02Not blistering fast, but way faster than I thought it was going to do.
28:05Faster than it should be.
28:06And it sounded great.
28:07It sounded great.
28:07So good.
28:08So I'm happy with that.
28:08I think we can knock some time off that.
28:10How did the Grand National do?
28:11Grand National did like an 11 something at 117 or something.
28:14It was pretty cool.
28:15There's a lot more people I think we should go spend some time with and check out their cars
28:19and their rights.
28:20Really?
28:21All right, let's go chat with them.
28:22Let's go.
28:24Welcome back to HRG in the pits.
28:30So we're going to our first friend of the day.
28:32You guys know him as Cleet.
28:35Big Cleet.
28:37Big Cleet, also known as the guy that makes the stuff happen at the track.
28:41No burnouts until the track official says it's okay.
28:44Hey, hello, Cleet.
28:45Hi there.
28:46How you doing?
28:47Good.
28:47I am excited to see you out here with a 55 that is pretty rad.
28:52And you're not just working the tree today.
28:54Yes.
28:54Yeah, this is my 55 gasser.
28:56It's a Scott Schaffroth 434 small block.
28:59Very simple setup.
29:00Jericho four-speed transmission.
29:02Giant cooling radiator in the back with fan and ducting and everything.
29:05The best has been at a 9 flat at 145.
29:07My winning factor, I think, is going to be the weight.
29:10The car only weighs 2,100 pounds.
29:12So that's fake.
29:13That's impressive.
29:14It's a glass car.
29:15It's a faux 55.
29:17Are you making a pass today?
29:19I will be, yes.
29:19Yeah, I'm going to hopefully maybe run Finnegan, too.
29:21I called him out a little while ago on Instagram, and he said bring it to Georgia, but then
29:25I found out he's coming here to Famoso, so I brought the car up.
29:29Oh, that's going to be a good race.
29:30Two 55s, two gassers at that?
29:32Yes, I'm hoping for that, yeah.
29:34All right, 255 Chevys lined up.
29:36Cleet against Finnegan.
29:37Let's go see who else is in the piss, because we've got more friends.
29:40We are in the pits at HRG Day.
29:48We have K.J.
29:49Jones and his Mustang that he's been working on.
29:52Now, this you raced years ago.
29:54Yes.
29:54And then you had a little accident, correct, and put it up.
29:58Yes.
29:59And then you just brought it out for HRG Day.
30:02That's what it was built for, right?
30:03That's correct.
30:04When I got on Hot Rod in January, we said, let's build a car.
30:07Let's get to HRG Day with this Mustang.
30:09So here it is.
30:10Lucky, I felt pretty special the fact that K.J. brought his race car back out because HRG Day.
30:16I felt a little intimidated because he cleaned out his garage, and this is what he's got.
30:20Facts.
30:20I mean, that's something pretty impressive to have in storage.
30:22You've already made a pass on it, correct?
30:24Yes, and it was a good pass.
30:25It went at 986 at 139 mile an hour.
30:28The mile an hour is down a little bit, but I think that's because we were running out of a racetrack, basically.
30:33It was in the limiter, so I'm going to fix that, turn it up a little bit, and try to run some mile an hour with that in nine seconds.
30:37All right, well, we have a lot of day left, and K.J., you've got a lot of car left, I feel like, so good luck.
30:42Thanks for coming out to HRG Day.
30:44Lucky?
30:44You're really good at this.
30:45You should probably do it for a living.
30:46Thank you for having me.
30:47I appreciate it.
30:48Happy HRG Day.
30:49All right, happy HRG Day.
30:50Let's go to our next friend in the pits.
30:53Amir from Super Street Garage is out today.
30:56This is, what, your third time at a drag strip?
30:58Correct.
30:59I think, you know, I've done about, like, 10, 12 passes.
31:00I'm pretty much an expert now.
31:01Yeah.
31:02I like the confidence.
31:03I do.
31:04So, Chaser here, correct?
31:051997 Toyota Chaser from Japan, right-hand drive.
31:08It's kind of like Toyota's answer to the R34 GTR.
31:11One car, pretty capable, but not too modified on our end.
31:15So, Lucky, can you translate for me?
31:17Uh, no.
31:19So, Super Street, cool car.
31:22What all have you done?
31:23Is there anything new here that you're going to be testing out that you haven't done before?
31:26Yeah, we just put on a Garrett G35900, so, bigger turbo.
31:30So, excited to try that out.
31:31Nice.
31:32So, we are looking for not only an improvement in your driving today, but also an improvement in the car as well.
31:38Exactly.
31:38Oh, wait.
31:39Did you just say more boosts make cars go faster?
31:41Correct.
31:41Okay, I can translate that.
31:43I got it.
31:43We know that.
31:44Boost is good.
31:45We are happy.
31:45Well, we are excited to see how you do.
31:47If you need some tips, there is lots of good people around the pits.
31:50Um, we're excited to have you out here.
31:52I'm going to be finding you a lot later.
31:54Thank you guys for coming.
31:56Any free track day is a track day for me.
31:58We're going to do something people have been asking for forever, which is a showdown between his blasphemy 55 Chevy and my F-Rod 31 Model A.
32:05That is a race that I am excited about.
32:07Is that the only race you know?
32:09Yeah, is that the only thing you've heard about?
32:11I heard an official call out from a white 55 over in the pits over there.
32:15There's a white 55 looking for you guys.
32:16It's not a good look to have a supercharged Hemi and lose to the naturally aspirated small block.
32:21So, let's do this.
32:22Why not?
32:25I'm going to go.
32:27I'm going to go.
32:28I'm going to go.
32:29Here, here.
32:29So K.J.'s over there in his Foxfighting Mustang.
32:58I'm not super familiar with this Foxfighting.
33:04Funny thing about K.J.'s Mustang is it's been sitting in his garage for 10 years and he cobbled it together with a bunch of spare parts.
33:10If I had that kind of stuff in my garage, I'd think I'd ever leave.
33:28All right, Amir from Super Street Garage. He has his red chaser. I think they've changed the clutch. They've got a new turbo on it.
33:44He's still new to drag racing. So he's going to pull up. I'm going to give him a little pep talk and then send him on his way down the quarter mile.
34:02And eventually I fully believe he's going to be hooked.
34:09So that's our guy Amir. You may remember him from the episode when we were roll racing at Willow Springs.
34:17Trying to deep stage with the rear wheels. It's called cheating.
34:20I'm not going to lie. Those are some very cool sound effects.
34:32The last time he was at Willow he was doing like 150 miles an hour around the track in a GT3.
34:40I'm pretty sure he's going to come back and make that go again.
34:49So while this is the second annual HRG day, this is definitely a first for me and most likely a first for you.
34:55We're getting ready to push start a land speed car on a drag strip. You know, like you do.
35:10That was fun, Lee Kennedy.
35:31Holy shmolly, it's Steve Dulcet.
35:37Okay, here is Amanda right here. She's one of the gas rats crew.
36:01You know, what are we buying at?
36:13It's Rich in her chair being on the ground.
36:17C.C.
36:19For Adventists can see the이가 and people sitting down from theальном š fi viendo.
36:23I'm a camera guy, but I also build cars and stuff.
36:41This is my dad. He builds cars, too.
36:43Steve Dolson wants to race. This is the best of cars to run.
36:46So hopefully we can take him on and give him a good race.
36:49I'm going to race against Wiley.
36:50Now I'm grabbing my Charger, but either way, I'm going to win.
36:53Because the purple satellite that you see there was mine.
36:57We built the engine together, so either way, it's going to be a win.
37:01But anyway, he's going to be watching my taillights on the way out.
37:05Look at him, weasel eyes.
37:13When you get to third y'all, go.
37:23Steve did a 15 at 92.
37:41I wonder what he was doing.
37:42I wonder what he dropped.
37:42He must have been looking for something on the floor.
37:44That was sweet, dude.
37:46Let's go find out where we ran.
37:48Right now, David Freiberger and Mike Finnegan are lining up for an epic roadkill match race.
37:55We've got Finnegan in the balloon Henny 55 Chevy versus David Freiberger in the F-Rod Model A.
38:00Who's going to win?
38:01He's going to air on roadkill.
38:03So the wrong safety was pulled, so turning the fire suppression on, it sprayed.
38:09We learned that the nozzles are in the right place.
38:11We're going to look at the bright side of this.
38:13The good news is that when the nozzles went off, it did not spray the driver in the face.
38:17That way, they can still see while they were on fire.
38:19We're going to call this product testing and vehicle safety checks.
38:24That was intentional.
38:25I've got a lot of those.
38:26The good thing is, it's not too bad, and we're going to go make a pass.
38:31She's making a pass against me.
38:33Ha, ha, ha.
38:34THE END
39:04That was fun!
39:10That was good! You got beat though, you know why?
39:13Because you red lit it.
39:15He red lit you, he pulled his foot out too fast.
39:19So we are checking a lot of boxes today.
39:21We are, there's only one more box left to check and that is the Typhoon needs a time on it,
39:26so I think it's time to take it for a roll.
39:28All right, so this is our Typhoon with the brand new turbo on it.
39:35Everything was dialed in, it's working great.
39:37We're just going to do a quick little launch because that's all I can do right now.
39:40Deep breath! Hey, step ahead!
39:42I can't breathe if I do that.
39:43I'm open! Light him up!
39:451536 at 90.58 miles an hour, considering he was probably less than 50% throttle.
40:04We're trying to reserve it because welcome to Hot Rod Garage where we don't break everything.
40:09Stop it! Pissball!
40:10I have no idea where that came from.
40:13The shmedium patch he did?
40:14It started falling on his face and then I was just going, I'll be mellow,
40:17and then it just came right to life and I just wrote it out the backside.
40:20I feel fulfilled in that for today. Today has been rad.
40:23Are you guys out of the bounce house? I just wanted to take a quick nap.
40:25Oh, you can go take a nap now.
40:27All right.
40:30And that wraps up HRG Day. It was a really good day.
40:34Our second annual HRG Day.
40:36Which also means we're wrapping up our second season of Hot Rod Garage,
40:40but we have another season on the way.
40:41We still have jobs. Air 5.
40:45Overall, today was a really good day.
40:48We had a lot of friends and a lot of cool cars and it was an incredible time.
40:52Almost illegal.
40:53Just too much fun. It was so much.
40:55Almost a moving violation.
40:56We have a lot of big things coming next season.
40:59We have lots of fun projects.
41:01We have a new shop and that means we also get another HRG Day.
41:05A few people we have to thank, starting with John at Powerhouse Volkswagen.
41:09Yes, he helped us in a very last minute situation where we needed a crank pulley.
41:14We also need to thank SoCal Imports because they kept a lot of the bug project rolling smoothly.
41:19They had everything in stock.
41:20They did.
41:21Also, for the Typhoon, we need to thank Tom from Sport Machines.
41:25Absolutely.
41:25Big thanks to Tom, actually.
41:27Yeah, he got us the knowledge that we need for the Typhoon
41:29and also got us set up with the right turbo that we need for it.
41:32We also need to thank Holly because, well, can we ever not thank Holly?
41:36No, they make everything easy.
41:37The crew behind the scenes really, really pulled an incredible day off
41:42with a great turnout, good food, a bounce house, and a great group of cars.
41:47Especially all the people here at the track.
41:49They really put together a great program for us, too.
41:51Absolutely.
41:51Do you have socials?
41:52I am Mobile Tech Lucky on Everything.
41:54Do you have social media?
41:55I am Alex Taylor Racing, and we are Hot Rod Garage Show.
41:59They're playing our tune right now.
42:00Thank you to you guys for watching.
42:01We will see you next year.
42:04Absolutely.
42:04Through the housing as you possibly could, and that worked out great.
42:10Hold on, I have a call right now.
42:12There's a meeting.
42:13Hello?
42:14What?
42:14We lost a shot.
42:15Yeah, that's the other one.
42:17So what do you want to do?
42:18I think, what do you mean, what do I want to do?
42:21It's like, do we have options?
42:23Where's Alex at?
42:25She's shooting pool next door.
42:28Hey, she hits me.
42:29He's too mad.
42:34Call the police.
42:35Ah!
42:35Bye.
42:41Bye.
42:42Bye.
42:43Bye.
42:43Bye.
42:44Bye.
