I'm looking at it. 363 00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:01,659 I'm like, yeah, it don't look that bad, you know, running cold water on it. 364 00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:03,577 But soon as I took the water off of it, 365 00:20:03,661 --> 00:20:05,788 man, it started to blister up and got pretty bad. 366 00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,206 It was stupid, wasn't thinking. 367 00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:10,501 But you would have to cut my foot off so I wouldn't be able to drive. 368 00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:12,753 I've got a race tomorrow at El Mirage, 369 00:20:12,837 --> 00:20:16,298 and I got second and third degree burns on my leg. It's my driving foot. 370 00:20:16,507 --> 00:20:18,735 You're looking at three months' recovery on that. 371 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:20,553 Yeah. I'm good. I think it's all right. 372 00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:23,097 I feel like most people would've quit at this point. 373 00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:25,558 But Detroit doesn't quit. We hustle harder. 374 00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:34,942 All right, let's test-fit this thing and let's see if this will be our key 375 00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:37,737 to keeping everything clean going down the dirt. 376 00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:38,945 Sure hope so. 377 00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:41,323 I think the El Mirage is gonna be a lot of fun, 378 00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:43,200 especially for my situation and my truck. 379 00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,828 I mean, what better vehicle... 380 00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:50,166 to go to an event that's a drag race on dirt than a truck? 381 00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:53,878 I mean, cars don't belong on the dirt. That's why cars are on the street. 382 00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,380 All right. There we go. That's what I'm talking about. 383 00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:58,048 Should keep everything clean. 384 00:20:58,174 --> 00:21:00,259 That'll definitely keep the dust out of it. 385 00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:02,553 Tire choice is always a huge deal. 386 00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:05,514 So what we're gonna do, instead of running our slicks, 387 00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:08,476 we're gonna switch over to all-terrains on this particular one. 388 00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:12,313 Obviously, out on the dirt, you need that traction. 389 00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:15,149 I've ordered them. They're not in yet. 390 00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:18,527 They're supposed to be in right before we have to leave. 391 00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,992 So I know we don't have the tires yet, but it's gonna be the same idea. 392 00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:27,286 So let's launch out, and let's just kind of see 393 00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:28,913 what the all-terrains do in the dirt. 394 00:21:38,047 --> 00:21:40,049 Yeah, there we go. That's what I'm talking about. 395 00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:42,132 The all-terrains are gonna be perfect for the dirt. 396 00:21:42,176 --> 00:21:44,345 We're gonna take all of our tires with us just in case, 397 00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:46,348 conditions are different than what I'm expecting. 398 00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:49,016 I'm thinking we leave on a little bit lower boost than normal, 399 00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:52,102 to make sure we don't spin too much and we can get out of the hole quick. 400 00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:55,731 I think with the all-terrains, though, she may kick just a touch sideways, 401 00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:58,108 you know, at the beginning. But I think after that, 402 00:21:58,192 --> 00:22:00,592 it's gonna start shooting straight just like she always does. 403 00:22:00,694 --> 00:22:03,906 Being 18 foot long, it's a little hard to keep it sideways. 404 00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:04,989 Exactly. 405 00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:10,830 It's a lot of pressure on me to make sure that going into this next event, 406 00:22:10,913 --> 00:22:12,957 that I put that truck in the winner's circle. 407 00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:16,502 So my plan is, is just to get off the line first, 408 00:22:16,752 --> 00:22:18,838 leave everybody behind me, and just make sure 409 00:22:18,921 --> 00:22:20,923 that I get to that stripe before anyone else. 410 00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:26,011 I'm ready to race, 411 00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:29,765 but if something does show up that's lighter 412 00:22:29,890 --> 00:22:32,893 and has a little bit more horsepower, I'll be worried about them. 413 00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,938 But as of right now, I'm pretty confident. 414 00:22:36,146 --> 00:22:37,523 The last thing I thought, 415 00:22:37,648 --> 00:22:41,193 is I would ever be doing a seven-wide drag race with supercars 416 00:22:41,277 --> 00:22:44,113 and then sleeper cars in dirt, in El Mirage. 417 00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,907 It's unlike anything in racing, 418 00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:50,452 so it's gonna be really pretty cool to watch. 419 00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:54,206 I'm kind of worried about some inexperienced driver 420 00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:56,166 losing control on this surface. 421 00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:59,628 But I'm probably the most experienced driver out of all of them. 422 00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:02,172 I feel like I should be able to out-drive them. 423 00:23:02,506 --> 00:23:05,593 There's rarely an occasion that you get to go 424 00:23:05,676 --> 00:23:07,887 3000 miles away from home to race your car, 425 00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:11,599 to try to be the fastest car. I hate losing. 426 00:23:11,682 --> 00:23:13,642 Anybody that knows me, they will attest to it, 427 00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:16,562 that I'm a very competitive person in anything I do, so. 428 00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:19,523 I feel like the pressure is extremely on me now 429 00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:21,567 to take home the victory. I'm in a supercar, 430 00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:22,860 I can't let a sleeper car win. 431 00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:25,195 So how many supercars you think there is? 432 00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:27,823 - I think it's all gonna be supercars. - No. 433 00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,700 I think there's at least three, four of them. 434 00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:31,911 - No. - I believe, I think so. 435 00:23:32,453 --> 00:23:35,915 - I hope there's some sweet shit, though. - I hope there's some fast shit. 436 00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:39,168 - That's what I'm hoping. - What? Whose side are you on here? 437 00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:42,087 - We're faster, so it don't matter! - You just said fast shit! 438 00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:53,057 In order to be nervous requires some bit of knowledge. 439 00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:55,434 I have almost none when it comes to drag racing, 440 00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:57,686 and literally none when it comes to racing on dirt. 441 00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:02,691 None of us really know what to expect, so I guess I'm the first to find out. 442 00:24:05,361 --> 00:24:09,406 I'm definitely getting excited. Excited to see what shows up, 443 00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:12,409 and figure out what it's gonna take to beat them. 444 00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:20,810 - Hey, Corey. How's it going? - How's it going? 445 00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:22,920 Good to see you again.

But I'm not too worried here. 668 00:35:16,489 --> 00:35:19,409 People don't expect trucks to be fast. They expect them to be utilitarian. 669 00:35:19,576 --> 00:35:20,816 - Underestimated. - Yeah. 670 00:35:20,869 --> 00:35:23,431 - People that have trucks stick with them. - Seems like the underdog. 671 00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:26,249 But I'd rather have this truck than the damn Lamborghini or Ferrari. 672 00:35:26,374 --> 00:35:29,628 Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't... I wouldn't want the cleaning bill on those cars. 673 00:35:29,753 --> 00:35:32,672 Typically you race one car, so you think about that one car. 674 00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:36,217 When you think about seven cars, you lose track of who you try to think about, 675 00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,988 - and then another one distracts you. - Right. The pluses and minuses of each. 676 00:35:39,012 --> 00:35:41,681 Yeah, I'm just gonna run my own race, that's for sure. 677 00:35:42,057 --> 00:35:45,143 Everyone stays in their lane, it's all good, right? 678 00:35:45,352 --> 00:35:48,313 She has more racing experience than I do, by far. 679 00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:50,482 I have never been in Ferrari Challenge. 680 00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:55,153 I think the Ferrari 488 has a good chance of taking it. 681 00:35:55,695 --> 00:35:58,573 It makes more horsepower than the Lamborghini that's here, so. 682 00:36:01,743 --> 00:36:05,830 We're gonna give you two test runs. We'll bring in all of the competitors, 683 00:36:05,955 --> 00:36:09,376 line everybody up, and then one by one, you'll go out and do your two test runs. 684 00:36:09,644 --> 00:36:11,844 Then we'll come back, and after that, we'll do the race. 685 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,595 Considering the amount of engineering 686 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:22,555 that goes into the aerodynamics of this car... 687 00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:23,765 Yes. 688 00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:26,518 ...how unstable I feel down at the end of this track on this, 689 00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:28,228 I'm really worried. It almost feels like 690 00:36:28,311 --> 00:36:30,146 - I'm about to come up off the ground. - Okay. 691 00:36:30,271 --> 00:36:32,607 Just 'cause I'm skating around on this thin layer of dust. 692 00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:36,069 - Okay. - So... it might be a little dangerous. 693 00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:44,611 After my test run, I'm gonna get a little bit more aggressive with it. 694 00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:46,621 I could put a little bit more power to it. 695 00:36:46,746 --> 00:36:48,707 My strategy for those test runs 696 00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:51,418 is basically one's gonna be with launch mode, 697 00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:53,795 and one's gonna be in race mode. 698 00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:58,007 And I'm gonna do them both full throttle and see what the car gives me. 699 00:37:06,182 --> 00:37:08,810 We kind of made our decision based on a couple things 700 00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:12,814 as far as throttle off the go, and it seems like for me, 701 00:37:13,189 --> 00:37:16,735 no launch control's gonna be the best for this surface. 702 00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:18,945 - How you doing, mama? - Doing good, honey. 703 00:37:19,028 --> 00:37:20,780 - You ready for this? - I'm ready. 704 00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:23,616 I'll go out and make some test hits and just see how she feels. 705 00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:28,329 And see what happens literally when the dust settles out here. All righty. 706 00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:31,124 There's quite a bit of dust being created off of one car. 707 00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:34,335 Once we go seven-wide, it's gonna be a mammoth cloud. 708 00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:41,384 That just burned him the fuck out. But it's moving. 709 00:37:44,012 --> 00:37:46,139 - Fuck. - Something just let off. 710 00:37:46,431 --> 00:37:48,641 What did Dad just do?

I was hoping it just popped off, but it looks like it split. 720 00:38:23,176 --> 00:38:26,095 And then we're gonna pull it off and we're gonna see if it's salvageable. 721 00:38:26,221 --> 00:38:29,641 - Yeah, you got the bottom one? - No, that's one we're working up to. 722 00:38:30,016 --> 00:38:32,477 This is the first time I've ever had this pop.

It was really close. 874 00:47:48,783 --> 00:47:53,245 I mean, we took off. I spun. I think all of us spun but him, you know? 875 00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:57,750 And she... she... you know, I ran out of motor to like half-track, 876 00:47:57,833 --> 00:48:00,586 and then she started to drive by me. 877 00:48:00,669 --> 00:48:03,798 And then right as my nitrous came on, I was like, get over here. 878 00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:07,343 And I had to just... had to, I couldn't beat her by more than much. 879 00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:10,179 - It was barely, but... - It was a photo finish. 880 00:48:10,262 --> 00:48:11,555 No, I knew it was close. 881 00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:15,601 And you actually beat a Ferrari with a car that you built yourself. 882 00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:17,645 It's an old small-block Ford, nothing fancy. 883 00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:20,356 Hats off to both of you.

It's a dream come true. 890 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,749 Kind of nervous when I saw that big truck pulling out ahead of me, 891 00:48:38,958 --> 00:48:40,798 but then I looked out my window and saw no one. 892 00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:44,588 I realized the car was doing its thing. I mean, it's, it's just a beast. 893 00:48:44,797 --> 00:48:47,258 This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and, you know, 894 00:48:47,341 --> 00:48:49,885 the fact that the top two are from Texas, the second place, 895 00:48:49,969 --> 00:48:52,972 also built by himself, beat a Ferrari. 896 00:48:53,431 --> 00:48:56,725 You know, built in a garage with passion, blood, sweat, tears, tons of effort. 897 00:48:56,809 --> 00:48:59,311 The fact that you came out here and defeated a supercar, 898 00:48:59,395 --> 00:49:01,480 you know, photo finish, that's exciting. 899 00:49:01,564 --> 00:49:03,649 You know, with that much passion, it doesn't matter. 900 00:49:03,774 --> 00:49:05,359 There's a way to beat them, 901 00:49:05,484 --> 00:49:07,361 and it's the passion behind cars, for sure. 902 00:49:07,987 --> 00:49:10,448 - Uh-oh. - Here we go! There we go! 903 00:49:13,659 --> 00:49:16,829 We're all from different walks of life. We've never met each other. 904 00:49:16,912 --> 00:49:19,623 I think we've all really have an appreciation 905 00:49:19,832 --> 00:49:22,751 for whatever anyone drives or plays around with. 906 00:49:23,252 --> 00:49:24,837 It's that respect. 907 00:49:25,087 --> 00:49:28,090 Supercars are beautiful, you know? They're built for one purpose. 908 00:49:28,174 --> 00:49:29,884 Look good and go fast. 909 00:49:30,050 --> 00:49:33,888 I still stand behind my real race-cars are built, not bought. 910 00:49:34,096 --> 00:49:36,891 It took a lot out of me. I could've quit so many times. 911 00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:39,894 I kept going. Just got to fix what you can and keep running with it. 912 00:49:40,144 --> 00:49:42,229 If my car was all-wheel drive, I would've won. 913 00:49:42,438 --> 00:49:45,149 No doubt in my mind. No doubt in my mind whatsoever. 914 00:49:45,232 --> 00:49:46,817 I would've fucked that Lambo up. 915 00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:50,946 But I brought a knife to a gunfight. It is what it is. 916 00:49:51,071 --> 00:49:52,615 I lost. End of story. 917 00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:55,409 I screwed it up from the get-go. It was an error. 918 00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:57,703 I just barely bumped it, and went into high gear. 919 00:49:57,828 --> 00:50:01,499 - And after that, it was over. - I didn't have a really good run. 920 00:50:02,374 --> 00:50:06,629 The car just didn't give what I had... it did in the test sessions for me. 921 00:50:06,921 --> 00:50:09,840 I think I did okay. I think I did okay for the sleeper cars, too. 922 00:50:09,965 --> 00:50:13,135 I mean, I came in second. Hey, that's respectable. 923 00:50:13,427 --> 00:50:16,597 I mean, I'm the first loser, but hey, fuck a supercar up. 924 00:50:17,389 --> 00:50:18,641 I think Blake would be happy. 925 00:50:20,726 --> 00:50:23,187 Yeah. I think he'd be happy. 926 00:50:28,734 --> 00:50:29,985 It's been a long one. 927 00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:32,339 This is something I've been working towards my whole life. 928 00:50:32,363 --> 00:50:34,949 I started taking pictures of cars out of a pure hobby. 929 00:50:35,115 --> 00:50:37,701 I had no idea it would lead me to different corners of the world. 930 00:50:37,785 --> 00:50:40,996 And who would've thought that would've led to me racing a Lamborghini 931 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,915 in the middle of the desert and winning?
