00:33 - This is Roadkill Nation,
00:57 the show where viewers like you
00:59 test their skills behind the wheel
01:01 against your Roadkill heroes, Ryberger and Finnegan.
01:04 - My name is Corey Evangelou from San Diego, California,
01:13 and I am currently a student.
01:15 - I'm Eric Tandy, I'm from Denver, Colorado,
01:17 and I am a visual effects and motion graphic artist.
01:19 - My name is Darren Keck, I'm from Plano, Texas.
01:21 I'm an auto tech.
01:22 - My name is Jason Coley, I'm Clover, South Carolina,
01:25 and I am an auto mechanic.
01:26 - My name's Josh Jones, I'm from Caliente, Nevada,
01:29 and I do mechanics for a living.
01:31 - My name is Jacob Davis, and I live in Noonan, Georgia,
01:33 where I'm the shop foreman at a local hot rod shop.
01:35 - My name is Mike Caparuso, I'm from Fresno, California.
01:38 I work for a solar company, I run a warehouse.
01:41 - My name is Scott Baxter, I'm from Bend, Oregon,
01:43 and I'm a visual effects artist for major motion pictures.
01:46 - They look tough, but are they fast?
01:51 - Well, welcome guys to the very first
01:54 Roadkill Nation challenge, our version of reality TV.
01:57 Do you feel like Joe Rogan right now or anything like that?
01:59 - No, I'm really freaked out
02:00 by all the flat bills I see here.
02:01 - I know, well we're gonna make these guys look
02:03 cheesy yet tough.
02:06 In the next three days, you guys are gonna try and beat us
02:09 in brand new Hellcats and Vipers.
02:11 We're gonna do the figure eight,
02:12 we're gonna do drag racing, and we're gonna do autocross.
02:15 The problem is, you are stuck with your teammate.
02:17 If one guy's a complete loser,
02:19 and the other guy's really good,
02:20 you guys are gonna average out into suck,
02:22 which means you will be roadkill.
02:24 So it's perfect.
02:25 - We're here to celebrate mediocrity.
02:27 - So we've separated you guys
02:28 so that each team has a Fryburger and a Finnegan.
02:31 Either a flat bill or a curved bill
02:32 is gonna tell the difference.
02:34 We're gonna rank you fastest to slowest,
02:36 and believe it or not, the fastest team will win.
02:40 Even though really the slowest guys
02:41 are gonna be the most roadkill.
02:43 All right, first thing we're gonna kick it off with
02:44 is the figure eight right now.
02:46 Our first challenge is the giant figure eight.
02:50 Every person is gonna get two laps,
02:52 and the quickest ET wins.
02:54 - And we'll be racing in the only hot rod sedan
02:57 on the planet with 700 horsepower,
02:59 an eight-speed auto transmission, 20-inch wheels,
03:02 Brembo brakes, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.
03:07 - And the roadkill nation will be driving
03:08 this freshly polished brand new example.
03:11 Meanwhile, we will be setting the pace in that.
03:14 The general maintenance previously thrashed off-road
03:17 and with completely bald tires because roadkill,
03:20 and really because Finnegan.
03:22 - Why didn't you tell me that before I wasted a minute?
03:26 - I didn't know that, are we honestly using this?
03:28 - Yep.
03:28 - Shit.
03:29 - Ready?
03:30 - Let's do this.
03:31 - Okay, timer's on.
03:34 Little bit of wheel spin.
03:36 - Ah, too hot by a lot.
03:39 - It's all right.
03:41 - Ah, understeering hideously.
03:46 Oh, this is harder than I thought, this is not good.
03:51 But these front tires are completely bald.
03:54 - I told you.
03:55 - Okay, we're losing so bad.
03:57 All right.
04:00 (laughing)
04:02 - Excuses or not, Freiburger runs 49.52,
04:06 leaving Finnegan plenty of room to improve.
04:08 - Oh, these are awful tires.
04:15 - I know.
04:16 - These are genuinely bad front tires.
04:18 I'm driven on some crap.
04:19 - I feel so much better now, it's ridiculous.
04:21 - These are like pizza cutters.
04:22 - Yeah.
04:24 (laughing)
04:27 - Oh boy.
04:29 - Sorry, camera guy.
04:30 I might as well drift the car 'cause we're not gonna win.
04:36 (laughing)
04:42 - I'm doing the muddly over here, it's so funny.
04:46 - Oh my God.
04:48 - I told you.
04:49 (dramatic music)
04:52 (cheering)
04:58 - I see tire fly off.
05:00 What did I have?
05:02 - You had 49.
05:03 - You had 48.58.
05:05 - Sweet.
05:06 - You guys have a massive advantage.
05:08 - If you cannot beat that with fresh rubber, go home.
05:13 Just go home.
05:14 - I thought that was roadkill, we're supposed to do that.
05:16 - That was like driving on snow.
05:18 - Who's up first?
05:19 You guys.
05:20 - Who's driving first?
05:21 - So do you want the general maintenance
05:22 or the brand new car?
05:23 - Oh, brand new car.
05:24 (laughing)
05:26 - The first challenger up is Steve Crusher.
05:28 - My strategy is be gentle on the throttle
05:31 'cause I know that these Hellcats have a lot of power.
05:33 The last thing you wanna do is spin out,
05:35 so I'm just gonna be very conservative with the throttle.
05:37 - I had a lot of hope for Corey
05:38 'cause he's raced dirt track,
05:40 but he did admit he put his car on its roof,
05:42 which means he's probably aggressive.
05:44 - So we gave him the wheel to this thing?
05:46 - Let's go.
05:47 (dramatic music)
05:50 - Don't turn in early.
05:57 Oh, you turned a little early.
05:58 - He's getting after it, he's getting after it.
06:02 - He's still beating us, dude.
06:05 He's still beating us.
06:07 Tires are a wonderful thing.
06:08 - Oh yeah, that's good.
06:10 Feels good.
06:11 (laughing)
06:13 (tires screeching)
06:16 - Oh, watch out.
06:17 (laughing)
06:19 - Corey tames the Hellcat to a respectable 43.55.
06:24 - What did you think?
06:26 - That is ridiculous.
06:27 - What part of it?
06:28 - Everything, that is so much fun.
06:30 I wanna do that all day long.
06:32 - Swap it out, let's go.
06:34 - That was so much (beep) fun.
06:35 Oh my God.
06:36 - Next up for Team Crusher is Jason,
06:39 a man who's few on words, but deep on strategy.
06:43 - My strategy this week is to drive hard and fast.
06:46 - Oh, (beep)
06:49 - I got the jitters, man.
06:50 - The best car ever.
06:53 - Three, two, one.
06:55 (car engine roaring)
06:58 - All right, now he's getting after it.
07:00 I think he just discovered what the throttle does
07:02 to the Hellcat.
07:03 (car engine roaring)
07:06 - I don't think it's Mr. Understeer now.
07:08 - Nice.
07:09 - Nice save, gotta give that credit.
07:11 - That was not bad at all.
07:13 - He'll still be faster than us.
07:14 - Oh, he will for sure.
07:15 - This thing is stout.
07:17 - It's pretty (beep) good, huh?
07:19 (car engine roaring)
07:21 - He's carrying this in a mile speed.
07:22 - Yeah, he's doing good.
07:24 Here he comes, ready?
07:26 And bam.
07:28 - Holy shit.
07:29 - He drifted this thing and still beat us.
07:30 - Yeah.
07:31 - Holy (beep)
07:32 - God, this thing is fun.
07:34 (Jason laughing)
07:36 - That was (beep) ridiculous.
07:38 - Jason posts a 46.03,
07:41 already passing the Dukes of Haphazard.
07:44 - So fun times?
07:45 - Oh yeah.
07:46 - Who was scarier?
07:47 - It's really hard to tell perspective driving to passenger
07:50 'cause he felt faster, but I have no idea.
07:52 - Did you have more violence?
07:52 - Did you not care about winning?
07:54 I mean.
07:54 - I cared about having fun.
07:55 (all laughing)
07:56 - 'Cause that's what it looked like you were doing.
07:58 - Is it good and violent?
07:59 - Oh yeah.
08:00 - Yeah?
08:00 - That thing is awesome.
08:01 - That's half throttle half the time.
08:02 - Yeah, oh I know, there's no wide open out there.
08:05 Okay, now you get to watch some other guys
08:06 make jumps of themselves.
08:07 - Right on.
08:08 (upbeat music)
08:09 - Team Ronson, Mike and Scott are the next
08:12 to take on the figure eight.
08:14 - I don't know if there's too much of a strategy.
08:16 I've never driven any car that has 700 horsepower.
08:18 I'm pretty good at wheeling anything,
08:20 so I'm just gonna get out there and drive the wheels off it.
08:22 - Okay, three, two, one.
08:25 (car engine roaring)
08:28 - Oh yeah.
08:29 - Notice how the adrenaline always gets you
08:31 on the actual lap.
08:32 - Just a good old boys.
08:34 Never mean to no harm.
08:36 - Oh, oh.
08:38 - Get an after.
08:39 - Oh, oh.
08:40 - An after.
08:41 - Yes, better up.
08:42 There you go.
08:43 Oh, you're smoking him.
08:47 There you go.
08:48 (laughing)
08:50 - Oh, you're going.
08:51 (laughing)
08:52 - Yeah, there you go, keep going.
08:55 (laughing)
08:57 - Oh, what the heck.
08:59 - He's giving up.
08:59 - He's throwing it all away.
09:00 - Giving up.
09:01 - I can't say our time was any good.
09:03 - Nope.
09:03 - That was sure fun.
09:04 - Yep, got in a little hard.
09:06 - If tire smoke counted for points,
09:08 Mike would take all of them,
09:09 but at least his 53.77 is good enough for last place.
09:14 It's up to Scott to figure out
09:16 how to pick up some time for team Rotson.
09:18 - Well, pedal meet floor, floor meet pedal.
09:21 I think it'll just go from there.
09:23 - Okay, go dude.
09:24 (car engine roaring)
09:25 Hit it.
09:26 (car engine roaring)
09:27 - Sounds like he's driving it in manual.
09:28 - Yeah, I think he thought that was the way to go.
09:30 He's gonna have a lot of torque on his toe
09:32 if he's got it down in first or second.
09:34 (car engine roaring)
09:38 - Oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:39 - Oh.
09:40 - You got it, you got it.
09:40 (laughing)
09:42 - All right.
09:43 - Ah, almost good.
09:44 - Could say good, not quite good.
09:46 - Oh, lost some time on that.
09:47 - That's all right, that's all right, we're good.
09:49 - It's okay.
09:50 - We're good.
09:50 - We're good.
09:51 (car engine roaring)
09:53 - Yeah, nice.
09:54 - Turn around.
09:55 - Whoa.
09:57 - He's drifting it.
09:58 He's doing not bad.
09:59 - Oh, we're good.
10:00 - You're all right, you're all right.
10:01 Good, good, good.
10:02 - In there, there you go.
10:03 - Nice.
10:04 (car engine roaring)
10:05 - Oh, the front tires are getting hot.
10:06 - Yeah, they are.
10:07 - Okay, pull it.
10:08 - That looks like--
10:09 - Let off the gas, man.
10:10 - Oh, dude.
10:11 - He just made the tires square.
10:12 (car engine roaring)
10:14 - Scott manhandles the Charger to a 47.70.
10:19 - That was insane.
10:21 - Did you not learn anything from this man?
10:23 (laughing)
10:24 My goodness.
10:25 - Hey.
10:26 (cheering)
10:27 - You managed to understeer this entire circle, all of it.
10:31 - That looked worse than me.
10:32 - Attempting to pet the Hellcat next
10:35 are Jacob and Josh of Team Mayhem.
10:37 - To be honest, I'm gonna try to go out there
10:39 and I'm gonna try to, you know,
10:40 do as best I can and get the best time,
10:42 but I like to drive cars fast and I get to do it for free.
10:46 I predict Josh of all of these guys
10:48 is gonna be the get aggressive and loop it guy.
10:51 - Just don't kill me.
10:52 You can do whatever you want.
10:53 Just don't kill me or spin out.
10:54 - Just keep me on the track.
10:56 - And three, two, one.
10:58 (car engine roaring)
11:05 - I totally thought he was gonna be
11:06 the I know what I'm doing guy.
11:08 - Yeah.
11:09 - He's just out for a Sunday drive right now.
11:10 - He's got a good line.
11:11 - Yeah.
11:12 - I'm thinking slow is fast right now.
11:14 - Oh wait.
11:17 (laughing)
11:18 - Yeah, he looks like he's taking this seriously.
11:20 - I guarantee this lap he just made
11:22 as fast as anything you or I did.
11:23 - Smooth is fast.
11:28 - Josh keeps it under control for a time of 45.75.
11:34 Currently second place.
11:35 - I thought she was sick.
11:38 - Remarkable restraint.
11:39 - Yeah, I was very impressed.
11:40 I don't know if I'll be able to do the same.
11:43 - Nope, I can mess you up.
11:43 - Next.
11:44 - Wow, that's some courage to give up that much.
11:46 I'm in it to win it.
11:47 - Now hopefully I don't spin it around.
11:49 We'll see.
11:50 - Batting cleanup for team Mayhem is Jacob
11:53 who also moonlights his Spigen's fear double.
11:56 - I don't know how you have a strategy
11:58 for something you've never done before.
12:00 'Cause I've never driven a car with 707 horsepower.
12:03 I guess I'm just gonna try to keep it under control
12:05 at best I can.
12:06 - And three, two, one.
12:09 - He controlled his wheels, Ken.
12:14 - And driving, driving, driving.
12:16 And into the big cones.
12:18 Back to the left, buddy.
12:19 - Wow, this team might be pretty solid.
12:22 - Yeah, he's doing good.
12:23 - Yeah, team Mayhem.
12:25 - Yeah, buddy.
12:26 Doing fan-fricking-testing.
12:28 - So far these guys have been smart.
12:29 - They haven't been flashy.
12:31 They've been smart.
12:32 - Good effort, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
12:35 Yeah!
12:35 (cheering)
12:37 All right, finally somebody got after it.
12:39 (cheering)
12:41 - Finally, somebody did what they were supposed to do
12:43 with the finish line.
12:44 - Jacob combined speed and style with a 44.75.
12:49 - You did it right, dude, you did it right.
12:52 So the beauty of that was the smooth execution
12:56 followed by flair.
12:57 - Yeah!
12:58 - The flair was good.
12:59 - The final team on the figure eight is team Monza.
13:02 - The most roadkill thing I've ever done in my personal life
13:04 is probably run out of gas.
13:06 I've done that a few times in my 72 bug
13:08 'cause the gas gauge didn't work.
13:10 - Okay, three, two, one.
13:13 - And he's off to a slow start.
13:16 - Nice and easy.
13:18 - Yeah, you gotta check on the cone.
13:19 - We're good, we're doing good.
13:21 - Interesting play.
13:22 - Just keep it gripped all the way around that way.
13:24 There's the tilt over cone, go left.
13:26 - Not in a hurry, no.
13:28 - Perfect, doing good.
13:29 - Watch, this'll be the fastest time of the day.
13:32 The no ego pass.
13:34 - Down and through.
13:37 - And very close.
13:40 - Wow, that's remarkable.
13:43 - I mean, it's, yeah.
13:44 - I would've drenched it so bad.
13:46 - Patience is a virtue.
13:48 - Eric cruises his way to a 46.23,
13:53 leaving a lot to make up for his teammate, Darren.
13:55 The last hope for Team Monza.
13:58 - You wanna stand on that 700 horsepower,
14:00 but the quicker way around the track is not to do so.
14:03 - And three, two, one.
14:06 - Keep this a little bit right,
14:11 keep a little bit more right,
14:12 more right, more right, more right, there you go.
14:14 Oh, no, shit, shit, there you go.
14:15 - Oh, missed the turn.
14:17 Navigator's small.
14:18 - Safe, we're good.
14:20 - Driving the whole course is first.
14:22 - Yeah, it is.
14:23 - Oh, there's second.
14:24 - The lesson I'm learning is our entire audience
14:27 is far more responsible and reserved than we are.
14:29 And faster.
14:31 - You really can't argue with it.
14:33 - Felt like I took that a little too hard.
14:38 - Hit it, hit it.
14:38 (cheering)
14:41 - All right, nice show.
14:43 Come on in.
14:44 - Darren remains light-footed on the throttle
14:46 and brings in a 46.89.
14:49 - That was awesome.
14:51 You guys were both very reserved.
14:54 That was our strategy, it's like, less is more.
14:56 - Yeah, I think you did pretty good.
14:58 We're gonna go back and tell everyone how they did.
15:00 Awesome.
15:01 - Oh, this is the exciting part.
15:07 - I know, the exciting part is that we didn't place last.
15:09 That's what makes me happy.
15:11 That's gonna make one of you sad, though.
15:12 - Oh my God, you're right.
15:13 Well, as you know, the bar was set with bald tires by us.
15:17 And our combined total ET here was 98.1 seconds.
15:22 Not good, not good at all.
15:24 There's actually somebody slower here.
15:26 Team Rotsen, one minute and 1.47 seconds.
15:29 - Yes!
15:30 We're awesome.
15:33 - Well played, gentlemen.
15:34 Third place, Team Monza, 93.12 seconds.
15:38 Not bad, not bad.
15:40 Team Mayhem, 90 and a half,
15:43 which makes Team Crusher the winner today.
15:45 - Yeah!
15:46 - Nice, nice.
15:47 - After one round of competition,
15:51 our teams stay fairly grouped together,
15:53 and all but one competitor
15:55 easily beat Freiburger and Finnegan.
15:57 - Okay, so that was a lot of fun.
16:00 Tomorrow, we're gonna be on the drag strips
16:01 with the SRT Hellcat Challengers.
16:04 So it's gonna be a big day.
16:05 Let's go have some dinner
16:06 and we'll be back here tomorrow morning.
16:07 - Yeah! - All right.
16:08 - All right.
16:09 - All right, guys.
16:18 Welcome to the day of wide open throttle,
16:20 which you haven't experienced yet.
16:22 Today is drag racing.
16:24 - That's right, and this is a heads up deal,
16:26 no bracket BS.
16:27 First guy to the finish line without red lighting wins,
16:30 and the more rounds you go,
16:31 the better your odds are for your team
16:32 to win this entire deal.
16:34 If you're heroes,
16:35 you end up in the final racing your own team.
16:38 - And here's a twist.
16:39 We're gonna be running you off a 4/10 ProTree.
16:42 That means three ambers flash and then a green.
16:44 We are gonna add your reaction time to your ET
16:47 for your final team score.
16:49 So you guys have to cut a light.
16:51 - This is real drag racing,
16:53 and this is real road kill.
16:54 You get no practice.
16:55 You're gonna get in that car,
16:56 come up here,
16:57 and try to do the job.
16:58 - 707 horsepower, 650 pound feet,
17:02 and the traction control's off.
17:03 Have a nice day.
17:05 - All right, we've got you all down on the ladder.
17:06 Get your helmets.
17:07 Let's do this.
17:08 - Woo!
17:09 - Yeah.
17:10 (laughing)
17:18 - Yesterday, we made these guys drive around in circles
17:20 until they got lost.
17:21 Today, we're gonna find out how well they can manage
17:23 horsepower and drive in a straight line.
17:25 We're gonna have a heads up shootout.
17:27 First guy to the finish line without red lighting
17:29 wins the drag race.
17:30 We're gonna take each team member's best ET in competition,
17:34 add them together.
17:35 That gives them their total score.
17:36 - The cars we're driving today
17:37 are the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcats.
17:40 They're a couple hundred pounds lighter than the Charger.
17:42 They're capable of 1090s.
17:43 I don't think we're gonna see that in the big heat today,
17:46 but we're gonna find out,
17:47 because we're going head to head first
17:49 before we put those guys into their cutthroat shootout.
17:52 - Woo!
17:53 Eat my burger!
17:55 (dramatic music)
17:57 (car engine revving)
18:02 (car engine revving)
18:18 (car engine revving)
18:21 - Ah, that sucked.
18:29 I just fried the tires.
18:31 - Mike broke the tires loose from the start.
18:33 If our competitors wanna move on to the next round,
18:37 they'll have to make sure to keep the tires
18:39 hooked to the track.
18:40 Round one begins with Team Crusher's
18:42 Jason in the red Challenger
18:44 versus Monza's Darren in the gray.
18:47 (car engine revving)
18:50 Darren takes the win light over Jason,
19:02 running a 12.49 ET with a .387 response time
19:06 to Jason's faster 12.221,
19:10 but snoozing at the tree with a .71 response time.
19:14 - So you were quicker, but he nailed you on the whole shot.
19:17 - You got sawed off, brother.
19:19 - Yeah, you went 12.22, but your reaction time was 7.71,
19:23 and his was three something.
19:25 - I was trying, I was pedaling.
19:26 He didn't pedal it, I just, when he got it,
19:28 he tripped and I went.
19:30 I was trying to chase him down, it wouldn't happen.
19:32 - It looked like you launched twice.
19:34 What did you do?
19:35 - It started to let go and slip,
19:37 so I let off and then got grabbed when I got back on it.
19:39 At least that's what I think happened.
19:41 - He too has Mayhem's Josh in the red
19:44 versus Crush's Cory in the gray Challenger.
19:46 (engine revving)
19:52 - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
20:00 Yeah, buddy, yeah, yes, woo, yes, yes!
20:06 - That kind of sucks.
20:13 - That's two losses for Team Crusher
20:16 as Josh screams fast Cory,
20:18 leaving Team Crusher out of round two
20:21 and with no chance at bettering their times.
20:24 - Low ET of the round, sir, nice work.
20:27 Good light, thank you for stepping up.
20:29 - Low ET so far, 11.68 at 1.22.
20:34 You get to do this again.
20:35 You get to do this again.
20:36 - But not bad, he also ran 11.84.
20:39 You guys left almost at the same time,
20:41 472 reaction time to 427.
20:44 So you treed him and went quicker.
20:46 - That was so much fun.
20:47 I can't even believe how much these cars
20:49 just keep pulling and pulling and pulling.
20:51 It's ridiculous.
20:52 - Dude, I was screaming the whole frickin' way
20:54 down the track, man.
20:55 I was like, "Fuck yeah!"
20:57 No, I was watching the whole time, dude.
20:59 - It was tight.
21:01 - Next team has Monza's Eric in the red
21:04 versus Ronson's Scott in the gray.
21:07 Scott needs a win to bring any hope back to Team Ronson.
21:10 (engine revving)
21:13 - Shot, shot!
21:20 (laughing)
21:28 Oh my God, that's fun.
21:29 Ah, burned him off!
21:31 - While Scott was busy barbecuing tires,
21:34 Eric gets the best response time so far
21:37 and moves up to round two.
21:40 Both members of Team Monza will move on to the semifinals.
21:43 - Dude, nice work.
21:45 You treed him and you outran him.
21:47 Best reaction time so far.
21:50 - Nice.
21:51 - Thank you for holding it down for Team Finnegan.
21:52 - Oh, I'm so excited.
21:53 I felt it slipping a little bit.
21:55 I was like, "Oh, I gotta get off."
21:56 And then I was like, "Gotta get back in it."
21:57 It was insane.
21:58 - What's weird is that he got a little bit better
22:00 with 60 foot time.
22:02 - Yeah, I was slipping right out of the hole
22:03 and I let off too much.
22:04 - But then you blazed the tires to the eight mile.
22:07 - Of course, I'm Team Ronson.
22:08 We always blaze tires.
22:09 - There you go.
22:10 - The final heat of round one has Mike from Team Ronson
22:14 in the red Challenger Hellcat
22:16 and Jacob from Team Mayhem in the gray.
22:18 (engine revving)
22:21 - Wow, what happened?
22:28 It wasn't even close.
22:29 - Hate to tell ya.
22:31 - He got treed and then couldn't find the gas pedal.
22:33 - I know.
22:34 - Wow.
22:36 - Jacob cruises past Mike to move on to round two
22:39 and it will be a Mayhem versus Monsa semifinal showdown.
22:43 - Man.
22:45 - Well, I have good news and I have not so good news.
22:49 The not so good news is that you lost the race.
22:51 - Yeah, I know that.
22:52 - The okay news is that there's some lukewarm brisket
22:55 covered in flies sitting on the table.
22:56 There's your consolation.
22:58 Meanwhile, Jake here on Team Fryburger,
23:02 second best reaction time of the day,
23:04 best 60 foot of the day
23:06 and second best overall ET of the day.
23:08 - I'll take it.
23:09 - With an 11.72, solid.
23:11 As we move into our semifinal heats,
23:14 Josh in the red will take on Darren in the gray.
23:17 (engine revving)
23:21 - That's what happens when you're floored off the line.
23:37 - Even having the quickest ET of the day
23:39 is not enough for Josh to advance
23:41 as Darren's lightning reflexes at the tree
23:44 secure him a seat in the final round.
23:47 - Sorry, dude.
23:51 - I know, I am too.
23:52 - Darren chopping down the tree like a man.
23:55 - 169 reaction time.
23:58 You smoked the tires, pedaled it and still ran him down.
24:01 - Got the tires a little too slick
24:03 and pedaled it a little too late.
24:06 Didn't get back in it hard enough
24:08 and yeah, he drove around me.
24:09 So you win some, you lose some.
24:11 Hopefully I'll keep my low ET though.
24:13 - One thing I wanted to do is I wanted to stage
24:14 before he did 'cause I knew he wanted to stage before I did.
24:17 That way I've got a little more time
24:19 when you're the last one to roll in on a pro tree,
24:21 it comes down almost as you don't know
24:22 if it's gonna happen as soon as you stage or not.
24:24 So I wanted to have the advantage there, I felt like I did.
24:27 - Now it's up to the other half of Team Monza
24:30 to see if he can make it an all Monza final round.
24:33 Eric is in the red Hellcat versus Jacob
24:36 from Team Mayhem in the gray.
24:38 (engine revving)
24:42 - Better fly it new.
24:56 - Jacob takes out Eric preventing
24:58 an all Monza final round.
25:00 - Well, was it fun?
25:01 - Yeah, I jumped the line way hard.
25:03 I just mashed it, got a little excited.
25:05 - It looked like you were gonna have a great reaction time
25:07 and then zero traction.
25:09 - Yeah, he treed me and then I got all flustered.
25:11 As soon as I got up to the line, I mashed the pedal.
25:13 I was like, oh, this one's gone.
25:15 Meanwhile, dude, this is gonna be
25:19 an all Fryburger Team final.
25:21 It's you versus Darren.
25:23 - The experienced drag racer.
25:24 - Exactly.
25:25 I'll just stress you all out right now.
25:27 He cut a 169 on the last lap.
25:29 - That was a fluke.
25:30 - So you know what to do, right?
25:31 Yeah.
25:33 And now we headed to the final round, Jacob versus Darren.
25:38 Car choice was decided by none other
25:41 than rock, paper, scissors.
25:43 - All right.
25:43 (engine revving)
25:46 - Darren's experience on the strip pays off
26:00 as he easily takes the win over the novice.
26:03 - Jakey baby.
26:05 - I tried too hard.
26:06 - You had nothing going for you.
26:07 - There was no traction on this one.
26:08 - It's hard to win when one tire's out of the group.
26:11 - How was it?
26:12 - You were stitching your face.
26:13 - I'm so used to that side
26:14 that I guess I was looking in the wrong.
26:16 - 104 reaction time.
26:18 Point 104.
26:20 But we still don't know what's gonna happen
26:22 as far as teams go,
26:23 because we got to do the math on best reaction times,
26:26 where you're gonna dominate.
26:27 Best ETs, where you're gonna do really well.
26:29 Let's go to the math.
26:31 - Let's take a look at how our competitors
26:33 fared individually.
26:34 Darren had the best RT.
26:36 Josh hung on to the best ET.
26:39 And Jacob had the fastest combined times
26:42 on two of the three runs he made.
26:45 - You guys ready for this?
26:47 I have the results right here.
26:50 As you know, we took your combination
26:52 of your ET and your reaction time
26:54 and added it together for both guys on the team.
26:56 In fourth place, with I think a repeat from yesterday,
27:00 Team Ronson.
27:01 - Yes! - Right there!
27:03 - There you go!
27:04 - Way to be consistent.
27:06 Bringing up the rear.
27:07 - If you're gonna be slow, be consistent.
27:08 In third place,
27:10 Team Crusher.
27:12 - Yeah! (laughs)
27:15 - Now we're down to the final two teams.
27:17 Josh may have gotten best ET,
27:19 but the thing is, it's a combined total
27:23 of the ET and reaction time
27:25 for both guys on the team.
27:28 And so what happened is,
27:30 Team Mayhem did win.
27:31 - Yeah!
27:32 - Which puts Team Monza in second place.
27:35 So our winners today, Josh and Jake from Team Mayhem.
27:38 - All right.
27:39 - So now, we get some rest and move on.
27:42 Tomorrow, it's Viper Day on the autocross.
27:45 The action today is gonna determine
27:49 who brings home those hand-built trophies from Finnegan.
27:52 And we are gonna culture shock these guys big time,
27:55 taking them out of the Hellcat muscle cars
27:57 and into the Dodge SRT Viper.
28:00 It's basically a hand-built supercar.
28:07 A lot of this thing is carbon fiber,
28:08 but most importantly for me,
28:10 it has a V10 that's 8.4 liters,
28:14 which really means 511 cubic inches.
28:16 It makes 645 horsepower, 600 pound-feet.
28:19 This thing's brutal and a handful to drive.
28:22 - And if you guys are fans of Hot Rod Garage,
28:24 then you totally recognize our private,
28:26 because we paid for it,
28:27 semi-secluded 10-turn autocross track.
28:30 This thing is a beast.
28:31 It's fast.
28:32 That first turn is way down there,
28:34 so they're gonna hit it in the top of second gear.
28:36 And earlier today, we gave them a choice.
28:39 You can either have a pro driver
28:41 teach you how to drive this car and some practice laps,
28:44 or forego all of that
28:46 and get one shot at this towards winning.
28:49 And at the end of the day,
28:50 we'll reward you with as many donuts and burnouts
28:52 as you can handle in these machines.
28:54 Guess what they chose?
28:55 Burnouts and donuts, 'cause this is Roadkill.
28:57 And when they're racing,
28:59 we're shutting off all the electronic controls.
29:02 These things have pretty sophisticated electronic stability.
29:05 All of that is shut down.
29:06 These guys are going commando.
29:07 We're gonna see some spin-outs.
29:09 - They're driving with no underwear?
29:11 - Right.
29:11 No support system.
29:12 That's what it is.
29:13 (laughing)
29:14 Welcome to day three, guys.
29:16 This is where all your dreams are either made or crushed,
29:19 'cause it's all gonna come down
29:21 to what you do in the Vipers today.
29:22 It is close.
29:23 But let's go through the results that we've got so far
29:26 for the accumulation of the first day and the second day.
29:29 Now we'll start with the team in fourth place.
29:30 I think you probably know yourselves by now.
29:33 Where's the secret handshake?
29:34 There you go.
29:35 Team Ronson is in fourth place.
29:37 And in third, we have Team Monza.
29:41 Now the thing is,
29:42 those two teams are only separated by 10 seconds.
29:45 That's fairly tight.
29:46 The team in second place is Team Crusher,
29:49 which means Team Mayhem's in number one,
29:51 and those two teams are separated by .315 of a second.
29:56 Over two days of competition
29:59 on the figure eight and the drag strip.
30:01 So that is tight.
30:02 One spin out in one of these Vipers,
30:05 and you can completely change the finishing order,
30:08 and someone different is gonna take home the Finnegan Trophy
30:10 and the glory of the Roadkill Nation Challenge.
30:13 It's Viper day.
30:15 Let's go.
30:16 And now it's on us.
30:17 - Some of them have a chance.
30:19 Some of them are just happy to have a driver's license
30:21 and a Viper at their disposal.
30:22 - Okay.
30:27 Time to redeem ourselves.
30:28 We completely sucked in this parking lot two days ago
30:32 around a figure eight.
30:33 I blame the bald tires, not us.
30:35 Now we have fresh tires and no excuses.
30:37 - You can go ahead and blame me this time,
30:39 'cause this is gonna be ugly.
30:40 - All right.
30:41 I'm ready when you are.
30:42 - I don't feel good about it.
30:43 (laughing)
30:46 (upbeat music)
30:48 - First air.
30:56 - He's back in the first.
30:58 (cheering)
31:05 - So much for that speech about somebody going out.
31:08 - So much for that.
31:10 There's the cone.
31:12 - Oh, it kinda just came out.
31:13 (laughing)
31:16 - Well, it wouldn't be roadkill
31:18 if we didn't show the world what not to do.
31:20 - I know.
31:21 It's a pretty good recovery though.
31:23 - Stop.
31:29 We're not setting any records with that one.
31:32 (laughing)
31:34 - Okay, your turn.
31:35 All right, I'm ready.
31:38 - Yeah.
31:41 - You did the same thing I did.
31:43 (laughing)
31:45 - You should have done sooner.
31:49 - Oh.
31:49 - Darty.
31:53 Definitely darty.
31:55 Yeah.
32:01 - Nice rotation there.
32:02 Oh, you're gonna cream me so bad
32:05 until you spin out right here.
32:07 (laughing)
32:10 (upbeat music)
32:13 - Oh.
32:18 42.85.
32:21 (clapping)
32:23 Uh-huh.
32:26 That's what we're doing with these poor guys,
32:28 making them have one pass, one and done.
32:30 - That's horrible.
32:32 I want another lap.
32:33 You guys are screwed.
32:34 - Oh yeah.
32:35 - Because the hole, I'm just gonna go one thing,
32:37 trying to learn the clutch and to learn to hole shot it.
32:40 - Yeah.
32:40 - I was afraid I'd get over that.
32:41 - You kicked that.
32:42 - Oh, dude.
32:43 - So who's up?
32:44 First team.
32:45 - First up for the challengers is Team Mayhem.
32:48 - Well, this should be interesting.
32:49 - You ready?
32:50 - No.
32:52 Just don't get lost.
32:53 - All right, Josh.
32:54 We've shown you how not to hole shot the Viper.
32:56 Don't do what we did.
32:57 On the count of three, I want you to go on one.
32:59 Three, two, one, go.
33:02 (upbeat music)
33:05 (engine revving)
33:08 - You have to now feel your mission.
33:13 There you go.
33:14 Go this way now.
33:15 - Oh, what happened there?
33:16 - I think he got lost.
33:17 - No, no, no, no, no.
33:19 (engine revving)
33:22 - He's not shifting very well.
33:24 - Go past three cones and then you park on that one
33:27 and turn around.
33:28 - He's following the course so far.
33:29 - You didn't do it.
33:30 You were driving too late.
33:31 No, no, no, no.
33:32 - Now he's completely off the plot.
33:35 - 100%.
33:36 - All right, keep it.
33:36 - He's outside the course.
33:38 - Way outside.
33:39 - That way, that way, that way.
33:41 (beep)
33:41 That way, there you go.
33:42 - Oh, there's a cone.
33:44 (engine revving)
33:45 - Oh, poor kid.
33:46 - Oh, wow.
33:47 - He's watching his championship probes evaporate.
33:50 - And boom.
33:52 Makes me feel a little better.
33:53 - Wow, you spun out and went as fast as he did
33:56 without spinning out.
33:56 - I went faster than him spinning out.
33:58 - Is that a cone underneath us?
33:59 - I don't know, is it?
34:00 - I think it was.
34:01 - He got a little lost.
34:04 - I was trying to guide him, but no, it was bad.
34:07 - Yeah, that's essentially a DNF
34:09 'cause you were so far off the plot,
34:11 but it's a 50.87, slower than me with a spin out.
34:15 - You brought a friend with you too, right over there.
34:18 I heard him come out front of the cone.
34:18 - So that's 51.87.
34:20 - All right, Jake, you know this already.
34:23 You've got a little bit of time to make up now.
34:25 - Yeah.
34:26 - On my mark, you're gonna leave on one.
34:28 Three, two, one, go.
34:30 (engine revving)
34:31 - Oh, it's okay.
34:32 - Almost stole it.
34:33 - Yeah.
34:34 (engine revving)
34:36 - Second gear.
34:37 (engine revving)
34:39 - He took it wide.
34:40 - Yeah.
34:41 (engine revving)
34:44 - Off the throttle completely.
34:45 - Good job.
34:46 (engine revving)
34:48 - At my spin out spot.
34:50 (engine revving)
34:50 - Oh, he saves it.
34:53 - Where I did not.
34:54 - Everyone is gonna have a problem there.
34:56 - He's still on track though.
34:57 (engine revving)
35:00 - Yeah.
35:02 (engine revving)
35:03 - Uh oh.
35:03 (engine revving)
35:04 - Here he comes.
35:05 (engine revving)
35:06 - Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
35:07 Brake, brake.
35:08 (engine revving)
35:08 - Yeah.
35:09 - Oh.
35:10 - 44.15.
35:11 - Good job, Jake.
35:12 That was fantastic.
35:13 (engine revving)
35:14 Oh, dude, that was really good.
35:16 Oh, that was good.
35:18 Dude, you did good.
35:19 Oh, you did good.
35:20 - Wow.
35:21 - I'm still winning.
35:22 - I'm exhausted.
35:23 - Woo.
35:24 (grunts)
35:25 - 44.15.
35:25 - Yeah.
35:26 - I'll take it.
35:27 - Yes.
35:28 - I don't know how good Corey's gonna be.
35:30 - Still slower than Finnegan though.
35:32 - 42.
35:32 - 42.
35:33 - Together, you still have a shot at this.
35:35 - I think you're not hopeless.
35:36 - Okay.
35:37 - You know, you're counting on these guys
35:38 being worse leakers than you are.
35:39 - Jeez.
35:40 - Let's hope so, bud.
35:41 - You're not expecting at all how it feels
35:43 when you throw it in that first corner
35:44 and you just gotta try to figure out
35:45 where it's gonna grip, where it's not.
35:46 - Yeah, you have no idea the limitations of the car.
35:47 - Yeah, exactly, exactly.
35:49 And even after that, I still don't.
35:50 - I almost found it.
35:50 That was close.
35:51 - Yeah, but you saved it.
35:52 - I did save it.
35:53 - You did great.
35:54 - These are excellent medical excuses.
35:55 - And I didn't hit a cone.
35:55 I did not hit a cone.
35:57 - All right, next team.
35:58 - Next up is Team Crusher.
36:01 - We're gonna go kick some ass.
36:02 - We're about to.
36:03 - That's what we're gonna do.
36:04 - Oh, God.
36:05 (laughs)
36:05 Look how small this thing is.
36:08 Oh my God, I don't think I'm gonna be able to drive it.
36:10 - All right, Corey, you're gonna go on one.
36:13 The door is wide open.
36:14 You don't know what they ran, but you have a chance.
36:17 Three, two, one, go.
36:20 - Everyone's doing that.
36:23 - I actually told them all.
36:26 Give it a lot of throttle.
36:27 Don't bog it.
36:28 - I have faith in Corey, though.
36:33 He's our most competent driver thus far, I think.
36:36 Oh, janked the course there.
36:40 He did miss one.
36:41 - Left, right, now.
36:43 Now, right, and right now.
36:44 Now keep going straight.
36:47 Now left, long left, long left, long left, long left.
36:52 Tight, tight.
36:54 Now right.
36:56 Right, right, and brake.
36:58 - That was terrible.
37:01 Good God, this car turned around.
37:02 - Bad start, but it come out good.
37:05 - That is really, really tough.
37:06 You can do it, but it's really tough.
37:08 - So what did you think of the car?
37:12 - Really tough to drive.
37:13 The clutch is really soft.
37:14 The brakes are really touchy, but it's a lot of fun.
37:17 It's actually got a lot of grip if you drive it right.
37:19 - Yeah, no, you did really well,
37:21 except for cutting the course.
37:22 - There's a penalty for that, right?
37:24 - Yeah.
37:25 - All right, Jason, did you learn anything?
37:27 You ready for this?
37:28 You feel good?
37:29 - I feel tight.
37:31 (laughing)
37:32 - There's a man that's gotta poop.
37:33 - That's a tip, more throttle off the line.
37:36 - Three, two, one, go.
37:38 (engine revving)
37:41 - That's the way to do it.
37:43 - It was still faster.
37:44 - I smell clutch.
37:46 - That was way faster.
37:47 - Not too hard, not too hard.
37:49 Go slow, stop, stop, stop.
37:50 - Hopefully with Corey's coaching.
37:51 - Now he's putting, though.
37:52 - He can capitalize.
37:53 - Right, right, right, right, right.
37:54 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:55 - All right, but he stayed on course.
37:56 - He did, he's on course.
37:57 That's where Corey jagged it.
37:59 - Oh my God, I can't feel the turn brake.
38:01 - There we go, there we go.
38:02 Perfect, dude, perfect.
38:04 You were kicking ass.
38:05 - Left, left, left.
38:09 - Oh, dude.
38:09 - He's doing great.
38:10 - Yeah, he is.
38:11 - You're doing good.
38:12 - He's taking it easy.
38:13 - I give that credit.
38:20 That was good credit.
38:21 He had style.
38:22 - Nice.
38:23 - He had style, still not beating Finnegan.
38:25 He gets the roadkill cred for style, though.
38:27 Absolutely.
38:28 - That was bad ass.
38:29 You did awesome, dude.
38:30 - Oh, I didn't hit none.
38:32 I didn't hit none.
38:33 Oh my God.
38:35 - You did awesome, dude.
38:37 That was (beep) awesome.
38:38 - That was (beep) great, dude.
38:40 - He did way better than I did.
38:41 - Oh, he's very smooth.
38:42 - That was (beep) awesome.
38:43 - See if I can get out of it.
38:45 - You definitely win for style.
38:47 Good burnout, good dismount.
38:49 - Nice park job.
38:50 - We liked it.
38:51 It's strong.
38:52 - Nice work.
38:53 - Next guy's up.
38:54 - Team Monza is up next,
38:56 hoping to move into first place.
38:58 - All right, Eric.
38:59 You have a shot at this.
39:01 Three, two, one, go.
39:04 - Not bad.
39:10 - Taking it wide.
39:11 Way wide, though.
39:15 - Way wide?
39:17 - Way wide, yeah.
39:18 - It's on the long.
39:21 - It's on the course.
39:22 - Way wide.
39:23 - Keeping it under control.
39:26 Easy, left, and right.
39:29 Go wide on this.
39:32 - I don't believe he's in a hurry.
39:36 - No, he's not.
39:37 - He is certainly playing it safe.
39:42 - Yep.
39:43 - Oh.
39:44 - Oh, oh, oh, oh.
39:45 - Oh, touch the cone.
39:50 - Yeah, just nudged it.
39:53 - Oh, that was close.
39:55 He didn't move it, though.
39:56 - He didn't knock it over, so he's good.
39:58 - Well, that was very safe.
40:00 How did it feel?
40:01 - I don't like when you say that was safe.
40:03 - What did you think?
40:04 - Good.
40:05 I actually, it wasn't as tail happy as I thought.
40:07 I actually think I could have pushed that a lot harder.
40:09 I was really scared, but it's not that bad.
40:12 - Are you going to do better?
40:13 - I think I could have pushed that a lot farther, actually.
40:15 - Yeah?
40:16 - No.
40:17 - Keep telling him that so he spins out and you guys lose.
40:20 - All right, three, two, one, go.
40:24 - Good lead.
40:27 - Wide, wide, wide, wide.
40:27 - I like it.
40:28 Way wide.
40:30 - Loop it around.
40:31 (cheering)
40:33 - Oh, he's still on the course.
40:36 - Yeah.
40:37 - Still on the course.
40:38 - Still on course.
40:39 - It's not going to help him.
40:40 - He's got to go off the course.
40:41 - Oh, bam.
40:42 - He just drove off the course.
40:44 - He completely lost the plot.
40:46 - A little wider, a little wider.
40:47 - Yeah.
40:48 - Break it.
40:49 - All that good karma he built up by saving the spin.
40:52 - Hard right, hard right, hard right,
40:53 and then start right through here.
40:54 Now we're going wide left, big wide left.
40:56 Stay wider, wider, wider, wider, wider.
40:57 - His heart's not in it now.
40:58 - Wider, yep, now bring it in left.
41:00 - Oh, he's lost.
41:01 - Left, left, and now hard left, hard left, hard left,
41:03 and then right, and you're swinging around in the box.
41:07 Into the box and break it hard.
41:08 Tire, hard right, hard right.
41:10 Break it.
41:12 - Nice work.
41:13 - Man, I think I did at least two of those.
41:15 - This is not an easy thing to do,
41:16 to get into a car with 645 horsepower
41:19 and more grip than you've ever had,
41:22 and just go out there and wood it.
41:24 Not easy.
41:25 - You must've gotten dizzy.
41:28 Is that what happened?
41:29 - I guess so.
41:30 - 'Cause you were way off the plot out there.
41:32 - It was a great recovery.
41:34 - It was.
41:34 - Yeah, and then you just went right around like five cones.
41:37 - Yeah, that might've just eroded your edge
41:40 from the drag strip.
41:41 - I don't know, probably so.
41:43 - But you still get to watch one more team
41:45 and you never know what they're going to do.
41:46 - Hopefully they'll do worse than me.
41:48 - All right, last day.
41:49 Team Rotsen, daddy-o.
41:50 - Yeah.
41:51 - Scott, I don't want to scramble your brain here,
41:54 but you are dead freaking last.
41:56 But it's not over.
41:58 We have had three people go completely off course,
42:01 one spin out.
42:02 More importantly, and all I care about,
42:05 nobody is leaving the starting line with any authority.
42:07 All right?
42:08 That's a 335 tire back there, use it.
42:11 (laughing)
42:14 - It is.
42:15 - Sorry, Dodge.
42:16 - Three, two, one, go.
42:19 (engines revving)
42:22 - I smell clutch.
42:25 Okay, here we go, buddy.
42:26 - All right, here we go.
42:27 - Heading into the corner.
42:28 - First corner, first corner.
42:31 - Okay, where is it, where is it?
42:32 Where is it, right here?
42:33 - Right here, yep.
42:34 - Is that it?
42:34 - Yep.
42:35 - Is that it?
42:36 - Nope, fail.
42:37 - Stay over here, this side.
42:38 - Stay over here?
42:39 - There you go, there you go.
42:39 - Okay.
42:40 - All right, there you go.
42:41 Looking good, looking good, bro.
42:43 Right through here.
42:44 - Through here tight, easy.
42:45 - Right through here.
42:46 - Yep.
42:47 - Right through here, turn.
42:47 - You are so good.
42:48 - Oh, right here.
42:49 - That way, that way.
42:50 - Okay, right through here.
42:51 - Yep, it's a big, big long turn, but be careful.
42:53 - Big sweeping.
42:54 - Yep.
42:55 - Right through here.
42:55 - Easy, easy, easy.
42:56 - Right through here.
42:57 - Easy, easy, easy.
42:58 - Back around this way.
42:59 - Back around this way.
43:00 - You're going to stop, Fox.
43:00 - And stop.
43:01 - Yeah.
43:04 - Wow, you didn't even full throttle the end.
43:05 - That wasn't bad, bro.
43:06 - Yeah.
43:07 - Not bad at all.
43:08 - Good strategy.
43:09 - Woo!
43:10 - Good shot, good style.
43:11 - It clearly is not your clutch, so it was good.
43:13 (laughing)
43:15 Swap it out.
43:16 - All right.
43:17 - Okay, I have no words of wisdom or encouragement for you.
43:20 So you go on one, sir.
43:21 (laughing)
43:22 Three, two, one, go!
43:25 (engine revving)
43:28 - Nice burnout!
43:29 - A lot of clutch, a lot of clutch.
43:30 (laughing)
43:33 - There you go.
43:34 - All right, we're still on the track, that's good.
43:39 - Everybody turns real early on that one.
43:41 - Yep.
43:42 - Come on, throttle, throttle, throttle!
43:45 - Kind of, sorta.
43:45 - It's in there, it's in there.
43:46 To the left, to the sharp right.
43:48 In between these cones.
43:51 - He does look like he's out for a Sunday drive.
43:59 - It's in there, it's in there, to the left,
44:02 to the right, sweeping around.
44:04 - This is the, I don't want to hit any cones
44:06 or go off track technique.
44:07 - You are now officially fastest.
44:10 - Oh, he's going for the win!
44:11 I see what you're doing.
44:12 - Feels hollow.
44:15 - I'm gonna look forward to the session
44:16 where we let these guys go all out
44:17 because that was not good action.
44:19 - Underwhelming, wasn't it?
44:20 - Yeah.
44:21 - Might bring Rotsen up into third place.
44:23 - Team Rotsen, buddy.
44:24 - I still smell the clutch.
44:26 Remember the whole, if you can't be fast, be flashy?
44:29 You really gotta pick one or the other.
44:31 That's kind of the thing.
44:32 - Why?
44:33 - You never know, we gotta crunch the numbers
44:34 because some of those other teams really messed this up.
44:37 You guys took it safe, so you never know
44:39 what's gonna happen at this point.
44:40 We're gonna go at it all up, get it wrong the first time,
44:42 and then come back and tell you who won.
44:44 So did you guys have fun?
44:45 - Yeah!
44:46 - Yeah?
44:47 Pretty good thing at Roadkill Nation Challenge?
44:49 - Yeah.
44:50 - Cool, keep that in mind.
44:51 In addition to just being able to come out here,
44:53 all expenses paid, have a great time in California,
44:55 everything, we have actual prizes
44:57 for our first through fourth place.
44:59 So the first place team is gonna win
45:01 the handmade Finnegan titanium trophies,
45:03 plus a Roadkill jacket and an Optima battery, catch!
45:08 We will give you actual Optima batteries.
45:12 Second place team gets a jacket and a battery.
45:14 Third place, a jacket and one of our new Roadkill hats.
45:17 And fourth place, a Roadkill jacket.
45:19 So everybody leaves with at least a Roadkill jacket.
45:22 Okay, so let's talk about exactly what we're gonna do here.
45:25 You know cutting a cone in an actual SEC autocross?
45:28 DNF, you're done, right?
45:30 So if that happens to every single one of you,
45:33 there's a couple options.
45:34 We can go with the standing as they are,
45:38 and just forgive everybody the DNF,
45:40 or we go to sudden death right now.
45:43 You pick one member off each team,
45:46 you make one more pass, and your time is your time.
45:51 If you cut a cone, you are DNF dead last,
45:54 and if you hit a cone, it's a second.
45:56 So do you wanna take your times as they stand,
45:58 or are you gonna go for cutthroat?
46:00 - Cutthroat. - Cutthroat.
46:02 - All right, it's sudden death.
46:04 - Well let's clear one more thing up.
46:05 Is that for all the marbles?
46:06 - That is what sudden death means.
46:08 Everything we did is Roadkill, gone.
46:10 This last run determines your finishing order
46:13 for all of this swag.
46:15 - All right. - Nice.
46:16 - Pick your team members, let's go.
46:17 - Eric is up first for Team Mons' shot
46:20 at a sudden death victory.
46:22 - Yeah, I'm fired up, this is awesome.
46:23 - I know, this is great.
46:24 - Three, two, one, go.
46:26 (engine revving)
46:32 - Not bad.
46:33 - Not bad at all.
46:34 - Not bad.
46:35 - Breaking a few times.
46:36 (engine revving)
46:39 Watch carefully for off course.
46:42 - Yeah.
46:43 - We're doing a good enough job of that before I get it.
46:45 - Probably.
46:46 (engine revving)
46:47 - All right, looking solid.
46:49 - He's getting after it way more than he did before.
46:51 - Yep.
46:52 (engine revving)
46:54 - He's on it. - Oh, (beep)
46:56 God damn it.
46:57 (engine revving)
47:01 - Yep.
47:02 (engine revving)
47:03 - Oh no.
47:04 - Oh.
47:04 (engine revving)
47:06 - What was that?
47:07 - Keep on going, you never know.
47:11 - It was weird, it was like he was trying to put it
47:14 in another gear and he just hammered it
47:15 and let the clutch go.
47:16 - Oh, he's gonna be so irritated now.
47:18 (tires screeching)
47:21 - And a cone.
47:22 And stop.
47:24 - Ha ha, well played.
47:25 - Stop.
47:26 - Okay.
47:27 - I don't think he got a cone, did he?
47:28 I think he made it in there.
47:29 - No, I thought he hit it, he did not.
47:30 - He made it in there backwards.
47:31 - Well played on the reverse into the box.
47:33 That had style, I give that credit.
47:36 - But what happened over here?
47:37 You were doing so good.
47:38 It sounded like you revved it and just let the clutch out.
47:40 - Yeah, well I missed cones over here.
47:43 Soon as I missed them, I was like,
47:43 "(beep) all right, we're having fun."
47:45 - Yeah, so.
47:46 Oh well.
47:47 - All right, next victim. - Good try.
47:49 - Dang it.
47:50 - Eric may have missed cones,
47:51 but there's always the roadkill factor
47:54 of everyone else doing the same.
47:56 Next up is Jacob to see if he can take home
47:59 the trophy for Team Mayhem.
48:01 - No pressure.
48:02 (engine revving)
48:05 Poor launch.
48:09 Rev limiter.
48:12 - He waited a while to get into it.
48:14 - Yeah.
48:15 - Good speed around the corner.
48:17 - Yeah.
48:17 A little early.
48:22 - Oh no.
48:23 - Oh, oh, he's backing it up.
48:28 He's kicking himself right now.
48:30 Oh, now he's in it for the fun.
48:33 - Game over.
48:34 - He still could have been ahead of Eric
48:45 if he hadn't done that.
48:46 And he's officially slower than Eric.
48:52 - This game's hard.
48:59 - Well, that sucked.
48:59 - At this point, there's only two guys left.
49:02 You pretty much just need to be smooth
49:03 and get around the track.
49:05 - Well, Jacob believes if you can't win the dough,
49:08 then you can at least give him a show.
49:11 He's not beating Eric's DNF time,
49:13 and now it's up to Corey to see if this time
49:16 he can stay on the track for Team Crusher.
49:18 - Hope he's smart enough to just go clean.
49:21 - Three, two, one.
49:27 - Slow hole out of the hole every time.
49:29 - Yeah, he waited a long time to get into it.
49:32 - Yeah.
49:33 That burns a lot of ET.
49:35 He's smart enough to keep it safe, I think.
49:39 Turn in, got that going.
49:40 - That's the one he hit before, so that's good.
49:42 - It's all good.
49:43 This is gonna change absolutely everything.
49:46 Okay, looks good.
49:49 - Oh, oh.
49:52 - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
49:53 Oh, he gathers it up.
49:56 Oh, he's gonna be somebody.
49:58 And boom, boom, boom.
50:02 - We don't need that car again.
50:10 - He must be a finnegan, right?
50:11 You feel bad about screwing that up?
50:15 - Did I?
50:15 - Totally.
50:16 - Where at?
50:17 - That was the fastest time of the day.
50:19 - What was it?
50:20 - I'm not telling you until we show winners.
50:21 - Corey keeps it on the track
50:23 and posts the best time of the day.
50:25 But Scott from Team Rotson is looking to make a leap
50:29 from last to first place.
50:31 - We're gonna see what Team Rotson can do.
50:34 I'm gonna give it my best shot.
50:36 - I'd like to see Scott pull this out.
50:37 Trying to beat the young gun from the dirt track.
50:40 Not bad, come on.
50:42 Throttle, what are you doing, throttle?
50:44 - Oh, man.
50:45 Wide open.
50:47 - He did the exact opposite of what I asked him to do.
50:49 - It's an actual thing, wide open throttle.
50:52 - He never even got to wide open throttle.
50:54 - No.
50:55 - And I told him, get there as soon as you can
50:56 and stay there as long as you're comfortable
50:58 and use the brakes.
50:59 - Oh, it sounds like he's in third.
51:01 - He's on a Sunday drive.
51:02 - Yeah.
51:03 I think he's just making sure that he retains a solid second.
51:08 - Oh!
51:09 - This car is so tail happy.
51:13 I guess he saved it.
51:15 - Oh, he could do this.
51:19 And...
51:22 (cheering)
51:24 - Close.
51:26 It was close.
51:29 - How'd it feel?
51:34 - Woo!
51:35 - Yeah?
51:36 - That was pretty good.
51:37 - Pretty good.
51:38 - This is awesome 'cause this did not end up
51:40 how I thought it was gonna end up at all.
51:42 - Fun times.
51:43 We liked the sudden death.
51:44 I think some of you didn't.
51:46 - We could just skip the first two days all together
51:48 and just head Sunday.
51:48 - All right, a very tight battle for first and second.
51:52 Within a second of each other.
51:54 - Wow.
51:55 - And the win goes to...
51:56 Corey.
51:58 (cheering)
52:00 - Here's your hardware, boys.
52:05 - Very nice.
52:05 - Good luck getting that through the airport.
52:10 - The first ever, we made history.
52:11 - Yeah.
52:12 - I thought I brought him through
52:14 and then we had a sudden death and he brought us through.
52:17 - I'm really glad that Jason gave me another shot
52:20 'cause I really needed redemption
52:22 'cause my first run was so awful.
52:23 I botched the start and then completely missed
52:26 one of the corners.
52:27 So I'm just really glad that he trusted me enough.
52:29 - And I do have something to admit.
52:31 We might've come in first place,
52:32 but that whole run I left the parking brake on.
52:36 Oh my God.
52:36 - I would be pretty good.
52:38 We took third in the sudden death,
52:40 but I think that's what we're gonna take anyway
52:42 over in the overall.
52:42 So it kind of worked out.
52:44 - All week I've been duking it out with Corey
52:47 and we've been trading best times.
52:49 The first day he was the best, second day I was the best.
52:51 - Yeah, in true roadkill fashion,
52:53 we came in at first and left last.
52:55 - We're leading last, yep.
52:56 - And now the moment you've all been waiting for,
53:00 burnouts and donuts.
