play06:28

it that can't be

play06:32

right these stickers are to be stuck

play06:55

was a waste of a sticker so oh yeah cuz

play06:58

there's a where the heck's

play07:00

alligator rear there's an alligator

play07:02

somewhere for the top tourist so like

play07:04

the top tourist because death week it

play07:06

was such a hit there's a top tourist so

play07:08

we don't know what the qualifications

play07:10

are we just we will figure it out at the

play07:12

end someone will stand out as a top

play07:14

tourist world and you're living in it so

play07:18

no you're just hanging in it for the

play07:19

week so I don't want to live in there

play07:22

scary place but we got this big ass

play07:24

alligator head somewhere and like that's

play07:26

the top tourist gets his alligator head

play07:28

or the top five we put them in a corner

play07:30

whoever doesn't get bit they win the top

play07:32

tourist so I like that these are the

play07:34

rules say Alex what's been happening

play07:37

what's the C doing and what so uh we

play07:39

came down a week early and we tested

play07:42

Monday to

play07:43

Thursday at Orlando Speed World and uh

play07:46

so we got some good data we have a brand

play07:49

new motor very similar combination to

play07:51

the old motor but it is a new

play07:52

combination so we're babying it taking

play07:54

it easy uh if you guys remember at sixth

play07:56

summer last year we had quite the

play07:58

catastrophic failure which took us out

play08:00

for like half a season um so we're going

play08:03

to baby it as we start to make more

play08:06

power and try to get through the week

play08:08

and hopefully see some sixc passes along

play08:10

the way so but overall it's pretty good

play08:12

so getting ready to kick off Tech day I

play08:15

doubt we'll test today but we did a lot

play08:17

of testing

play08:22

already we mainly made 300t hits we got

play08:25

some really good 60ft times but mainly

play08:26

made 300t hits got the first half dialed

play08:29

in um I think we ran like a 690

play08:32

something when we ran it out the back

play08:33

door once which is slow for what the car

play08:35

can do but again safe on timing safe on

play08:38

fuel trying to make sure read plugs

play08:40

every pass and get it happy and then

play08:42

we'll turn it

play08:45

[Music]

play08:51

up starting off

play08:57

strong yeah

play09:21

so my name is Chuck sansky uh from

play09:23

Ashland Ohio just south of Cleveland

play09:24

Ohio uh part owner big three racing uh

play09:27

this is my 198 1 Pontiac Grand lemon

play09:31

Safari station wagon uh has a 540 big

play09:34

block Chevy in it dressed up with some

play09:36

valve covers to make it look kind of

play09:37

like a Pontiac or at least a Pontiac

play09:38

just to fit the theme uh we have a F3

play09:42

112 uh crank Drive ProCharger setup on

play09:44

it power glide um ford9 in rear end in

play09:48

it it's a little heavy uh 3580 at Wade

play09:51

yesterday when I went across the scales

play09:53

uh brand new build uh first time down

play09:55

the track was Saturday I had one pass

play09:57

just a quick uh little past 100 or 13960

play10:01

foot uh to the eth and then I went a uh

play10:05

8 to0 uh yesterday uh again T clicking

play10:08

it off a little early uh 173 so my plan

play10:12

with the car at some point is to go

play10:13

sixes at over 200 mph I think for sick

play10:15

week uh this this coming week I'm just

play10:17

going to kind of keep it uh right around

play10:19

750 or slower um it's kind of the plan

play10:22

for that uh more importantly we just

play10:23

need to make it through the week so

play10:25

we're not going to thrash on it try to

play10:27

beat it up too bad um make one more pass

play10:29

today hopefully just to make sure this

play10:31

new tuneup with a little bit more boost

play10:32

to it in in the Gear Drive and uh get

play10:35

the timing right for that air is

play10:36

supposed to be phenomenal this week so I

play10:39

don't want to be too confident in the uh

play10:41

timing on the starting line so I'm going

play10:43

to still try to keep it neutered a

play10:44

little bit and uh try to keep it safe

play10:46

and be here back here on Friday is the

play10:49

plan the last seven days have been quite

play10:51

the thrash um some people might have

play10:53

seen it um the the build process so I

play10:56

got the car back pretty much um kind of

play10:58

rolling pull in but I had to rewire the

play11:00

car I actually had to pull the heads off

play11:01

and and modify the heads for the new

play11:03

rocker arms to fit the push rod so had

play11:05

the heads back off of it pretty much

play11:07

everything was dismantled like I said

play11:09

had rewire put all the interior in it do

play11:11

all the plumbing finalize an exhaust

play11:13

system for this uh which just goes on

play11:15

the Zoomies um put glass in finish a

play11:17

roof rack I mean there was all kinds of

play11:19

stuff painting stuff the rear end I just

play11:22

fit the Hood um I put the hood on 10

play11:24

minutes before it went in the trailer to

play11:26

come down here so it's been a lot of

play11:28

sleepless night it's already even before

play11:31

more sleepless nights coming up CU this

play11:33

is going to be my fourth one but first

play11:35

time in this car so last time it's been

play11:37

in my wife's uh 2002 fourth gen TransAm

play11:41

only went 850s it was like a cakewalk

play11:44

compared to you know what I think I'm in

play11:46

for this week and uh luckily enough I do

play11:49

have I'm allowed to take members with me

play11:51

four of us in this we do have rear seat

play11:54

um so we're going to have if nothing

play11:56

else we're going to have a good that's

play11:57

what he I keep telling the it doesn't

play11:59

matter we're going to have a good time

play12:00

cuz we're all together we're hanging out

play12:02

cruising the countryside with our you

play12:04

know best friends so what could go wrong

play12:06

I've gone about four miles on the street

play12:08

so I'm real confident that uh we should

play12:11

have zero issues because you know it's

play12:13

it's it's really proven right now so I

play12:16

think we'll be good uh we did run it on

play12:18

the dyno um I ran it for about 20

play12:20

minutes with the front end on no hood

play12:22

but with the front end on no auxiliary

play12:24

fans in front for about 20 minutes uh

play12:26

check cool inms make sure everything was

play12:28

good it ran about 165 168 degrees so I

play12:31

think we'll be okay on the street but we

play12:34

won't know until we know U we did make

play12:36

one a couple power pools with it just to

play12:37

make sure all the systems worked after

play12:39

rewiring it Plumbing it um it made 1,400

play12:42

pretty easily uh to the tires on our

play12:44

Mustang dyo at only 7,000 RPM I'll spin

play12:46

it to 8,000 um we're going to turn up

play12:49

the boost a little bit more too since

play12:50

then or we just change the boost on it

play12:52

the Gear Drive uh so I'm hoping to see

play12:55

another 2 or 3 lounds of boost out of it

play12:57

um and keep the timing the same and see

play12:59

how much faster we can go

play13:27

today

play13:32

my name is Magnus Frost this is uh our

play13:35

first s week with this car and the ason

play13:38

is back together once again it's been a

play13:42

this car been a such a has been a

play13:45

struggle from the beginning but we're

play13:47

going to figure out and go fast I think

play13:50

we started yesterday to the boys took

play13:53

the transmission abort we could see on

play13:54

the it start to slip so we have a broken

play13:58

transmission so the boys ripped the part

play14:00

yesterday we're up and running and then

play14:02

we started this morning we just got 2 3

play14:05

hours of sleep and then we started this

play14:07

morning and the fuel pump started

play14:09

leaking so we're build a fuel pump in

play14:12

the tech line here so I think now we're

play14:16

good the last time we saw the car was

play14:18

drag

play14:20

22 and then um

play14:23

before you know we crashed the car 19

play14:26

and then we rebuild it back home and we

play14:28

sent it over to drag week

play14:30

2022 and we were here at Orlando uh one

play14:34

and a half week before just to test the

play14:36

car to make it the ready competitive and

play14:39

then the first pass when the car was all

play14:41

rebuilt the throttle sted

play14:45

so we put it I put it in the wall so

play14:49

then we took the whole week to rebuild

play14:51

it and then we get the drag week and we

play14:53

blew the engine up day one so this is

play14:56

actually we haven't been drag and drive

play14:58

with with this car so much it's been a

play15:02

unfortunate with this car so this is the

play15:04

good side here and over here you got all

play15:07

the battles

play15:09

cars and it's basically a patch

play15:13

together from uh the first drag Wick we

play15:16

did it the car is way lighter got bigger

play15:19

turbos that's about that more more power

play15:22

less weight so we're for us it's still a

play15:25

new car so we're figuring it out but I

play15:28

think we we can go fast with it I hope

play15:30

so we just need some luck yeah it's it's

play15:34

our time for some luck now I think it

play15:36

should

play15:57

be

play16:09

Chris with Project prime so he will show

play16:12

you the this is the Jumbotron but it's

play16:14

also the headquarters for the live

play16:15

stream so just he'll walk you through

play16:17

check this stuff out but like next level

play16:19

crap like I don't know what else about

play16:21

crap thank you for the opportunity this

play16:23

is great with these guys innovating as

play16:26

much as they do I figured you know what

play16:27

we got to at least try to meet the mark

play16:29

So In

play16:31

Here We have basically everything we're

play16:34

going to use to do the live stream this

play16:36

is basically a computer that just

play16:37

handles video and this is what we

play16:40

utilize for our replay and um this is

play16:43

our streaming computer and this is what

play16:46

is taking the master program signal from

play16:49

our switcher so basically this controls

play16:51

any image that you see from a stream and

play16:54

then we send all that back to the

play16:55

computers they do their thing and uh

play16:58

yeah then we send it to the Jumbotron up

play16:59

top and that's it and for this show it's

play17:02

all 5G cuz it's on the road so

play17:05

everything's Wireless basically and

play17:06

we're sending it all back to here and

play17:08

it's pretty sweet but the Megatron lives

play17:10

in the back let me show you that it's a

play17:11

21x 12 ft screen and it actually folds

play17:15

up kind of like a pretzel it's all

play17:16

hydraulically driven via this controller

play17:19

so it's all Wireless it's all awesome

play17:22

and uh when that comes down the trailer

play17:24

is basically full of LED screen but as

play17:27

you're looking at it right now when it's

play17:28

up you basically got an 18x 8T tub to

play17:31

play with you can put all your gear in

play17:32

there pretty sweet it's pretty

play17:35

wild I know Tom mentioned something

play17:37

about a football game later so we'll see

play17:39

if we can't toss that up there get the

play17:40

speakers out let us all enjoy the game

play17:43

he wants to lose in h

play17:45

death come on man Li lions for the win

play17:49

so like everybody's a lions fan I mean

play17:51

everybody loves an Underdog Story so you

play17:53

got to root for the

play17:57

Lions Danny humph 78 Porsche 928 I've

play18:01

owned the car for 23 years now uh so we

play18:04

did the Rocky Mountain race week two

play18:05

years ago big tire deal um my car is

play18:08

mild steel so it only searched to 750 um

play18:11

we went to 738 First full pass so kind

play18:14

of out of luck there um so we're running

play18:15

Rowdy radial this year which is eth mile

play18:17

8 in radial tire uh which I can go up to

play18:20

450s with on that so that's what

play18:23

precipitated that and in Texas like

play18:25

that's all we do is Eighth Mile radial

play18:27

stuff so kind of fits fits the bill a

play18:30

little better um same motor combination

play18:32

everything else is the same uh the only

play18:34

thing I switched is the rear gear ratio

play18:36

on it uh from the previous setup so and

play18:39

what did you learn at Rocky Mountain

play18:41

2.0 not to go when you're

play18:43

sick that was a very short uh short

play18:46

experiment for us and uh you know we had

play18:48

a good time uh after the first day we

play18:51

just decided that it wasn't going to

play18:53

work uh so we just you know trailered

play18:55

around to the different tracks still had

play18:56

a fantastic time hanging out with with

play18:58

everybody and you know and that's the

play18:59

thing I mean everybody's willing to

play19:01

share their success stories and their

play19:03

failure stories and you know not pull

play19:05

any punches so uh definitely can pick up

play19:08

a lot of information so I think that

play19:10

that's one of the biggest things is if

play19:11

somebody's in interested in doing it

play19:13

they need to go and do one without a car

play19:17

before they do one and take notes so

play19:20

yeah it's uh it's definitely a learning

play19:22

experience so it's a 572 in SMX Steve

play19:26

Morris motor uh it's got a Whipple uh

play19:29

980 supercharger on it uh making about

play19:33

uh about 32 33 lb of boost so not

play19:35

leaning on it too hard with it and uh

play19:38

that's why I told Steve when I built it

play19:40

I want a big arm so I don't have to spin

play19:42

it fast and you know so I want to I want

play19:45

a Anvil so I don't have to worry about

play19:47

screwing it

play19:57

up

play19:59

and last year we had yeah it started out

play20:03

pretty good was in second place I think

play20:05

when we went to bra andon but then we

play20:07

put more power in it and we got more and

play20:09

more problems with it so we found out

play20:13

that one of the rear shocks was broken

play20:15

and didn't work at all so that was main

play20:17

thing one of the main things that it

play20:19

didn't work out and uh we had some small

play20:22

issues with like boost controller and

play20:24

these type with the CO2 bottles we

play20:26

always empty them because weeks but uh

play20:30

now we're back and the engine has been

play20:32

serviced we have we went to custom by

play20:35

big this July and did like TR to runs of

play20:39

testing and they drank some beer and we

play20:41

were screw no we're not screwing we did

play20:43

some mechanical

play20:45

stuff at night so I think we're fit fit

play20:50

for SI week this year um the engine

play20:53

upgrades is very small we just went from

play20:55

wet s to dry s to to get some uh better

play20:58

oil control um with the gear Force we

play21:02

have it's yeah it's really tough off the

play21:04

line and we had sucked the pan dry

play21:07

sometimes so yeah that was the main

play21:09

thing we switched from Precision turbos

play21:11

to force induction so it's a little bit

play21:13

larger turbo but what the data we have

play21:16

been seeing it just has less back

play21:18

pressure that means more power so

play21:20

hopefully it will show on the numbers

play21:22

also and will you test today yeah we

play21:26

test today we were testing on Friday and

play21:28

uh they Saturday and it made two passes

play21:32

740 and 675 or something yesterday but

play21:36

uh really hoping to go like mid sixes

play21:38

again today and be ready for SI

play21:45

quiek what's going on Brian since the

play21:47

last time we saw you um not much has

play21:49

probably changed I mean we at least had

play21:52

figured out the last time you saw

play21:53

us cuz we were running we WI our best

play21:56

time 656 we've made four passes here the

play21:59

last two

play22:00

days and um haven't got really to the 60

play22:03

foot without or past the 60 foot without

play22:06

shaking them or something so yeah we got

play22:08

we got some hopefully we got it this

play22:10

time a little take a little bit more out

play22:12

take dump out a little longer see what

play22:15

happens that's what we always aim to go

play22:17

faster than we've been because it's

play22:18

always mostly the same car we make minor

play22:21

changes and it's there's not much else

play22:23

to lose for weight or I'm not changing

play22:25

the power plant anytime soon so yeah

play22:28

we're trying to get as much out of this

play22:30

thing as we

play22:33

[Music]

play22:35

can it's not

play22:40

[Music]

play22:49

[Music]

play22:56

really

play23:26

one

play23:56

1

play24:15

[Music]

play24:17

[Applause]

play24:26

w

play24:46

holding 737 at

play24:55

[Music]

play24:56

196

play25:00

they to the

play25:12

[Music]

play25:26

p

play25:48

so last time we had the car out was

play25:51

death week we were down well broke it

play25:53

broke the block didn't make the week and

play25:56

we were down like 200 hor horsepower

play25:58

from where we are now so new engine new

play26:03

blower got shoots on the back now Lex on

play26:05

Windows but we're roughly 200 horsepower

play26:08

more now and we're spraining with

play26:10

nitrous but with an extra 200 horsepower

play26:14

we changed converter beforehand so then

play26:17

we had to change converter again because

play26:18

it was way too loose so now that's

play26:21

better but now we're working on the

play26:23

launch and it's wanting

play26:25

to stick the tire so we changed for link

play26:27

bars and it blew off the tire now we're

play26:29

finally getting it somewhere

play26:31

but as soon as the front tires touch

play26:35

down on the ground and blows back tires

play26:37

off cuz we're so front heavy so as soon

play26:41

as it just touches down it just lifts

play26:43

the back end up so now we're

play26:44

putting 160 lb of concrete in the back

play26:48

to try and get the back tires to plant

play26:51

and we'll see if that works if not then

play26:52

we'll take it out and mess with the four

play26:54

link more so we got 280 lb bags of

play26:57

concrete we got four rolls of duct tape

play26:59

to wrap them up so they don't spill and

play27:01

somehow we got to put them there and

play27:04

there not a lot of room but they got to

play27:07

be as far back as

play27:11

possible so that's the

play27:16

Durango we don't want this on camera

play27:19

this is the dumbest we've ever done

play27:22

you bring some

play27:24

M5 it's all ridiculous but

play27:29

this is what the the test has to

play27:33

be cuz there's not really anywhere else

play27:35

to put

play27:38

it it wasn't made for 80 lb

play27:42

B sit back on the

play27:46

tin we don't want to do is cut a

play27:49

bag that'll make for a mess on it a bag

play27:52

of cement in your in your car holy

play27:58

I mean it's all double the duct tape

play28:00

goes that way and then goes vertically

play28:02

right so now we need ratchet

play28:08

crap where are my GoPros uh we got one

play28:12

under the hood we got one by the rear

play28:14

end cuz we don't have travel sensors so

play28:17

we need to watch footage of what the

play28:18

shocks are doing to get more data so

play28:20

Ricky doesn't get in car

play28:26

footage

play28:33

[Music]

play28:53

[Applause]

play28:56

it's

play29:05

[Music]

play29:13

did that one break before

play29:21

too now we need one right there yeah and

play29:23

the switch is

play29:25

bad problem it was on was wasn't it yeah

play29:29

it was I have no if I turn it off it

play29:33

[Music]

play29:35

leaks oh now it stopped it must had

play29:37

something stuck in well it's probably

play29:38

out of pressure I turned the bottle off

play29:40

oh but I bet if you turn the bottle on

play29:43

it's going

play29:48

toob thinks we need to put everything it

play29:53

has it's the

play29:55

switch the switch by pass or something

play29:58

is like

play29:59

stuck

play30:02

so well the weight it did the same thing

play30:04

I believe I think it looks exactly the

play30:08

same him and Brian think that if we

play30:13

just put all the power to it I want the

play30:16

nitrous on right at the hit we hope we

play30:20

hope adding strapping 200 lb to the back

play30:22

of it was going to

play30:24

be take us in the right direction but we

play30:27

don't know that it changed anything so

play30:29

we'll see we're trying to have all the

play30:31

power or whatever at the launch because

play30:34

we don't have unlimited power to work

play30:36

with so I mean we're trying to get it to

play30:37

launch with all the

play30:39

power and we just can't get it to leave

play30:44

the line we can get it to start the

play30:45

launch and then it just wants to spin

play30:46

the tire and have to Pedal it so it's

play30:49

rather than take power out to let it

play30:51

launch we're just really trying to get

play30:53

it we're trying to figure it out so that

play30:56

we can

play30:58

so that we can launch with all the power

play30:59

because it just comes down to longer

play31:01

wheelbase higher crank center line like

play31:03

different stuff we did with there to

play31:05

have four seats in there and that when

play31:07

we have the blower the big screw blower

play31:09

motor sticks out of the hood the right

play31:10

way like we did a lot for Aesthetics

play31:13

well they're kind of biting us now cuz

play31:14

it's not normal race car stuff so like

play31:16

we're really just trying to like I said

play31:18

I mean figure it out so we can apply all

play31:21

the power cuz we don't have a lot to

play31:22

work with and we really want to run a

play31:23

seven with it and we just need to get

play31:26

get that part figured out so we got a

play31:29

week to do it I guess to try and figure

play31:31

it out but so that's where we're at we

play31:34

get another one in today

play31:38

um we might we might get another uh

play31:41

might get another hit at it today um

play31:43

we'll see it's a shorter test session so

play31:45

I mean we'll see how long it takes for

play31:46

everybody to go through

play31:49

um cuz remember I'm a racer at heart but

play31:51

the lions are in a playoff game today so

play31:54

and we got a pizza party coming out but

play31:56

um the real hardcore stuff starts

play31:58

tomorrow but I mean we really we would

play32:01

love to figure something out so that

play32:05

tomorrow we're not fighting this Nemesis

play32:06

and going out there and looking like

play32:09

crap and moving on to the next track

play32:20

[Music]

play32:26

but

play32:29

say

play32:32

go gear vend overdrive helps you out

play32:35

with that by knocking a little bit of

play32:36

gear out of your car but not only that

play32:38

you can actually brought up the fact

play32:39

that you know if they can't get it you

play32:42

get overnight delivery to the RAC track

play32:43

the next day so you might still

play32:56

be

play33:01

[Music]

play33:25

okay

play33:55

you

play34:55

all the sloke coming out of it 858 15

play35:02

151 thank you it's either good or we're

play35:06

just all really hungry thanks we're just

play35:09

eating pizza waiting for the lane to be

play35:11

empty you even got pepperoni on your

play35:13

[Music]

play35:15

lens all right guys so there was a

play35:17

little bit of an oil down so we're

play35:19

waiting for them to finish cleaning up

play35:20

the track so we can get going so but the

play35:22

Lions game's already on it's actually

play35:24

almost halftime but Pizza Party happen

play35:26

so everybody's grabbing a slice of pizza

play35:28

like everybody's still eating it waiting

play35:30

for get the call up we probably got

play35:32

about I don't know 253 cars left to do

play35:35

so but Orlando going out of the way to

play35:38

make sure they get everything right so

play35:39

we can make these final pass T night and

play35:41

I mean this is day Zero still so these

play35:43

are just test passes to get ready for

play35:44

the morning but can't beat the weather

play35:47

it well it is Boost making weather right

play35:50

now because it is nice and chilly we're

play35:52

probably negative da right now and I

play35:54

mean they're calling for that most of

play35:55

the week so it's going to be awesome but

play35:57

we get to enjoy the game during the

play35:59

cleanup so we're not watching tractors

play36:01

here we're watching the

play36:04

lions please get your vehicles warmed up

play36:07

get yourself suited up we'll be ready to

play36:11

resume where we left

play36:17

off this is a

play36:25

beer

play36:37

[Music]

[Applause]

play36:55

I

play37:12

[Music]

play37:25

this

play37:32

[Music]

play37:52

[Music]

play37:55

you

play37:57

[Music]

play38:04

all right guys that is the end of day

play38:06

Zero so definitely got cool I think it's

play38:08

59° or something like boost making

play38:11

weather dur Ango still didn't do any

play38:12

better getting down the track I mean our

play38:14

mile per hour we 136 at the8 so like we

play38:16

keep gting mile per hour if we just can

play38:18

get to where we don't pedal it so I

play38:19

think now our plan is going to be dump

play38:22

timing try and dead hook it to get off

play38:23

the line and then try and make it up out

play38:25

the back and then

play38:28

on to Tuesday that would be our that

play38:30

would be our goal because uh the chance

play38:32
