Hell yeah brother you're on the policeman for on youtube channel. Well, it's a chilly one good morning elko. You guys want to know why i really love cracker barrel, because their aviation toy guy is the best got an a10 warthog got my apache in here, as always. So we're dialed got this one last year, building the collection all right, so we just hit up and ready karting.

It's obviously raining pretty hard. Now we're gon na start making our drive. We got ta, go stop at the orlando track and then we start up the checkpoints, but andretti karting. Try that out pretty awesome.

Oh boys, the output. I was pretty damn good in rain uh, not having the hood kind of stuck since the tires whip up water out of the window, but we're doing just fine we're gon na make it we're almost to the track. A couple miles all right guys looks like we made it to orlando speed world, which obviously they made the right call. We won't be racist, so everything's doing good in the water we're making it through we're going to rain extreme windows.

Real quick, though, because we do have some fog going on learning that we're doing pretty good how's she running pretty good yeah, i'm gon na get my rain axe out. I have something all right, so we're trying to figure out what's going on, ruby ran it on the jack. Stand, can't find anything vibrating, but these guys are staying pretty gnarly made it up. Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you test out a spring car hours of driving in the rain traffic humongous bridges.

We are ripping right along with damn. We are uh, we're definitely putting the outgo to the test, as well as we're gon na be in the marauder. We're running good, so let's keep going wake up thanks. So all right made to is this our first checkpoint, yeah yeah.

It was the track. It is freezing. You see my breath, yeah pretty good, so we made to the first checkpoint how's, ruby, doing all right, yeah. The vibration got a little less, so once it dries up, we could probably go a little faster yeah all right cool, so wait: big dog how's, the marauder good, all good.

What about the cruise control? Have you used that not yet, but it still works. It still works, you want to go to surfing. No, no don't do that. Let's go all right, guys we're about 25 miles from the last checkpoint of the day, rolling sun's going down.

For that view, beautiful attempts are good chilling we'll be there soon, all right! Last checkpoint, we officially made it. We got ruby, we got the elko marauders back there, but we made the last checkpoint. So now we have about 50 miles to gainesville and everything's, going pretty good, big underglow guys just see anything. No, we pretty much rise on the way over we're gon na get to wrench or inside, to put it on a few things, but i don't like seeing something.

That's like there's the problem. Okay, so guys, obviously we're here at kevin's shop and kevin's having a little party, but since we're allowed to use kevin's shop for some light and stuff we're gon na go ahead and latch the valves. Since we have a solid roller set up now and then i'm gon na go ahead and take care of these steam ports because we don't have a steam port kit on it right now. So we got some parts in from frankenstein to do that.
We're gon na fix that up, nate's gon na handle the valve blast. What are we doing like 15? 16? 16, how hot 15 or 16. i got ta look at my phone. I have a note all right.

You handle that i'll handle this we'll be dialed. Well, probably, a good thing: we're checking this yep well jack stand. We just gave her a good once over, checked every nut and bolt just just polishing her undersides for the car show. I saw just cleaning it yeah cause.

We checked everything because we had a little bit of a vibration but some down dude. We think that it's probably just this tire right here. It's a little wore out all right boys, so we whipped up a new steamport kit out of am line. I have not made an inline since i hired james, so that's kind of funny so knock those out and we're gon na start.

It up got the valves last they weren't far off and they were just a little snug one. A little loose, not bad, so we're gon na fire it up all right, so our turbo's smoking a little bit. So we got our fitting out a little a little bit a little earl through the seals. That's the cleanest! I remember that face right there dude! That's! How i got maddie dude, i walked away yeah, so we're gon na snug and dug our fitting right back in there we got a little goopity goop on there yeah you all smacked pretty good.

Let's grip her out. Oh yeah, turning it down nice beautiful all right! Well, we got a little oil restriction in there now, hopefully, that'll slow down smoke that she's giving us all right. Nice, 40 degree cold start for the elko aluminum rod until it's got some heat in it. So hey and i came down early to let the elk warm up a little bit.

Oh yeah big tires big turbo race car all right guys so pulling up to the track. We are in the quarantine lot as they're, calling it the quarantine lobby because we're in the top three. So if you're in the top three of any of the classes, you got ta pull over into this restricted area where they watch you like a hawk, and since we are in third we're over in quarantine, so we're gon na get set up here and go racing. Thank you good morning ask any racer any real racer first thing you do head to track test your two step.

Come on. You look very concerned brother. This is our uh says our race fuel pressure is 240 psi. Oh, it's a little high.

I wonder if our regulator seized up he's stuck. Ah it's a great day to be alive. That's right, dro oops! I hit the power 240 psi. I think the sensor just went bad or something dude.

I think so. She was spitting fireballs if it was at 240 psi. You think it'd even run like the injectors. We made these detectors that transition wouldn't look like that.
So all right! Well guys. We have worked around this fuel pressure situation. The dash says we're making 240 psi fuel pressure, but nate and i don't think that's true - it's not happening so we uh for a second thought. Maybe the regulator was seized up, but we think the sensor is just bad because we cracked the line off it's returning fuel.

We put it on the two-step: it's not like overly rich if it was making 240 pounds of fuel pressure. Watch fuel pressure, good job. If it was 240 pounds of fuel pressure. Yeah, yes, it'd be pissed, so we think we're good, so we're gon na head up for the first round here once this fog clears.

Let it rip ah sounds insane dude. That turbo is the best definitely seems like it smoking a little lesson. Four and a half pounds of boots sounds like a thousand, mr sam, yes, another day of racing, another beautiful day of race. Look at this guy right here, so the goal for you is to run that same number.

1094. Was it 1094 with a c, so you can run close to that because at the end of the week your average needs to be as close to a 1094 as possible. So if you go a little faster, a little slower today, it doesn't matter, but it's telling us that they're really good today so yeah. Well, by the end of the week, you got to get your average right over there, so all right have fun.

Thank goodness! Yesterday i missed it, but i heard it was real spicy, i'm hoping this is a spicy one too. It turns up so hard. He stayed in it. 11.

75. yeah. She didn't like that. 11-7, that's probably you know.

Well, we had a little noise of some kind about uh into it. Just a couple of seconds, don't know exactly what it was looks like your uh. Your 60 foot was a little bit better, we'll figure it out no big deal. Can you be a little bit more responsible? What do you mean put your hand out over your hand, can you be a little bit more responsible? What was that? Oh my gosh dude, the lucky paddle.

Really. Where was that i didn't want to tell you dude come here. Oh my gosh come on. We have been quarantined on the watch list.

All right, guys, we're. Finally up so sam had a big backfire. The data log didn't work for that. Unfortunately, so we don't know what happened, but we're gon na adjust some things anyway and try and get it to go down we're pulling up in the elko now ruby's behind me a couple cars but we're gon na try and get down here, probably see what this Does this is a pretty casual leave and then it rolls in the power pretty hard and uh just hoping it makes a clean run, and then we will, after that assess our next move, because we still have to drive to georgia today all right.

What's going? Oh, oh boy, sound like it's misfiring. When i let off oh boy, one and done. Why was i saying that that'd be silly? Please don't sound bad sounds bad all right boys, we're definitely hurt a cylinder. That's really unhappy yeah! You want to hear it yeah.
Let me kill power, that's a problem, oh guys. We don't really know what to say. We made 27 pounds of boost. I mean this is the same exact tune-up as basically what we went on last time, but we started making cool pressure our last pass yesterday or the last time we were racing yeah, but it wasn't.

I mean it wasn't anything really well, so we thought it was nothing really to worry about a couple more rounds and we're up in old. Ruby got my boy jt jackson, jimmy in here. That's what we do buddy, let's rip it camo, oh yeah, oh yeah, she's spiced up, hopefully not too spiced up now! Oh whoa! That's no good! 840! At 164.! Oh ruby went way too fast. This guy's cool out here.

We we done broke it out. So we did exactly what i thought it'd do. We got some killer air and uh. We picked up the whole 10th we're trying to slow it down a 10th.

We want an 840 with a seven, so slowed down a little bit from where we're at and hopes. We can get that 850 out of it be cool if it was something easy, dude i'll tell you what the fact that you can shove that much higher underneath that thing and not upset the you're done all right, so you guys remember that hole that just had Zero compression a minute ago now look now: it's got a perfect compression all right, so we had a valve hung because the rocker was too tight. However, that could be because the valve do love that more too tight last night still made a lot of cooling pressure. It didn't that had nothing to do with pressure, but yeah the problem is yeah.

We don't know what valves are in here. I'm gon na make some calls. At least we got our compression back all right. I just talked to uh joe from fast forward.

He said lash them, babies at twenty thou and send it we just need to. We need to lash them out, twenty thousand, not kill it, get it down to a seven thirty or something all right. We are headed off. We just got to pull these stanchions to get to all of our head bolts, i'm going to pull that head real, quick, but we're looking good guys we're going to make this happen for you.

I don't want to let you guys down. So i'm really hoping this works out all righty folks, the heads are re-torqued old, dr bender rods, pulling it back together, all right, so once he gets those back actually, i can start putting these headers back on now so nice having the o-ring headers from frankenstein. So we're going back together boys. Hopefully this works all right guys.

This side's completely done thanks working over here to finish this up, they're in all run so they're running the last of the cars, so we're trying to wrap it up. You want another shot of this racetrack. We got ta get in the lanes, brother. All right.

We got ruby out here. We're gon na give her another shot. Oh big john force burn out over here. What in the world? Oh, my good golly miss molly 778.
At 173, i think somebody hit the wrong button. All right, ruby felt like she was ripping, so i went ahead and short shifted a little bit and it lifted a little early. I don't know what happened there, but that thing was about to be on a pass. Five minutes to get back up there, what happened? We got five minutes to get back up.

There get fueled when they gave me the computer. I don't know what happened. It just went 778. they're both looking for 850s on the board.

I need that laptop. Can i take a picture, i got five minutes to get back up there to make my last pass. I just need right now all right, let it rip come on baby. All right, stop all right what we got going on here.

Man left on five pounds like it should well left on five pounds. It should have been on three, but you see right here where it says boost scramble plus. For some reason, the boost scramble is turned on. Don't know why or how we don't even have that and uh boost scrambled demanded at the makeup.

You know 20 pounds, so i made 17. spike 20 made 17 pounds elko going to somewhere else. I don't know what's going on here. Thank you.

Six second wagons sounds good holy all right. We got three minutes i'll pull up and just we'll gather ourselves once i park in the lane. All right, hey, we get one pass one pass: dude, hey that'd, be amazing. If we even went that fast, like completely out of the gas, what are you doing was a boost scramble in there that was adding 50 to the dome and for some reason it turned itself on on that fast.

I don't even have a scramble button, but somehow it was on cars running so we're gon na go, send it yeah i'll, see you out there all right guys. All we can do now is hope. We get her down. We uh kind of turned it down to where it was on day, one we're not really shooting for the moon on this path, but we want to run decent.

So we can keep our average and stay in uh third position, but we'll just see if it holds man hey valve, might be a little compromised, but guess what still gon na send it blew the tires off. So, after all that we spin the tire all right, ruby right behind me, i didn't even see her coming poor girl all right. We know she did a good burnout because, as always - but is she gon na run out of the number with no magical boost scramble? Only time will tell come on ruby. Oh he's battling it hard.

Okay, 67. All right! Well, hey better than nothing! All right! We got sam out here in the stock for water ready to make a rip. Oh yeah! Well, boys! We got our bucks kicked today. What did you guys turn in 7.78? No just kidding uh.

I did do that today. I won 778 by accident what'd. You turn in 8, 67. 17.

Slow, tough, what'd. You guys turn in parker. 863.. Oh, i know what'd, you guys turn in uh, 11.75.

11.75 man. We turned in at 9, 50., hey team, slow cars, team, slow one, two, three yeah. We definitely stretched some valves so we're going to relash the valves when we get to the track. It sounds pretty loose right now, but it's set up.
It's 20 ish. It's 20! Medium, which should be like 20 hops, we're just going to drive it and hopefully make it and then we're going to make a time a team. Yes, come on sam jacked up on coca-cola, how many cars yeah, let's get some gas and get on the road we got 130 miles to get to uh south georgia 933 miles to go we'll get there when we get in there see boys in the morning. Stop for some barbecue cars looking good might be losing the wheel.

There lined up ready to drive for three hours, yup all right, first fuel up, there's that rubber on there. I know he does nice burnout all right first checkpoint reached. I have no idea what it is, but i told us to take a picture here so here we are hell: yeah final checkpoint final checkpoint pulling into georgia, so we're like 30 minutes from the track. Our hotel is just up the road doing pretty good.

Oh wow, the tesla made it hey, buenos noches, hey what else? No chase you good yeah, i'm good how's it driving rough right, oh wow, with the leather seats too soft. Well, i couldn't yeah with all the heat received, seven or 76.. Oh, the heat was too nice wow, you poor, guys, 18 whaler just hit a fellow race waker holy dude. We almost just got literally ran over by a semi dude comes ripping into our lane.

I don't think he hit it. I don't think we got hit that i think that loud noise was that dude's tire yeah jeez, all right guys. We made it to south georgia racing in the morning got to go. Do some editing, that's it for now, thanks for watching you.
