1
00:00:01,899 --> 00:00:07,000
Previously on The Great Eight, the top
eight drivers raced at Dragway 42 in
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Salem, Ohio for a chance at $10 ,000 and
points for the individual championship.
3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,780
Murder Nova and Kai Kelly.
4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,980
Murder Nova was paired up with Kai Kelly
for the second week in a row in round
5
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:24,240
one and put Kai on the trailer again.
6
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:30,990
And then beat Robin Roberts in the semis
to secure a spot in the finals for the
7
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:31,990
second straight week.
8
00:00:38,290 --> 00:00:42,490
Lizzie Mucey advanced to the semis after
Dana Merchant red -lit in round one.
9
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:53,130
And there were fireworks at the finish
of Lizzie's semifinal race versus
10
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,150
Kayla Morton when her hood scoop blew
off.
11
00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:57,240
I'm surprised they made it that far. Me
too!
12
00:00:57,980 --> 00:01:01,940
This led to a Grade 8 finals between
Murder Nova and Lizzie Mews.
13
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,260
Murder Nova won the second Grade 8 race
in a row and collected 10 points for the
14
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:10,280
individual championship.
15
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:15,180
And Murder Nova makes it two in a row!
16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Now the top eight drivers heading into
Pennsylvania will battle for another $10
17
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,140
,000 and valuable points.
18
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,700
Maple Grove, how y 'all doing today?
19
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,820
We are at Maple Grove Raceway, located
in Pennsylvania.
20
00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:51,820
This track opened its doors in 1962 and
is one of the 10 longest tracks in the
21
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:52,820
country.
22
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,800
Today, it's hosting the Grade 8.
23
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:59,600
Here's how it works. If you win the
Grade 8, you get 10 points. Plus, you
24
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,700
get $10 ,000.
25
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:04,980
If you runner up, you get 7. And if you
make it to the semifinals, you will get
26
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:09,220
3. Those points go towards an individual
championship that will be worth $100
27
00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:10,960
,000 at the end of the season.
28
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:15,080
All right, this is the Grade 8 driver's
meeting.
29
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,100
As you can see, though, there are nine
of you in this Grade 8 meeting.
30
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:23,660
I believe Axeman and Jake, y 'all are
tied.
31
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,700
So are y 'all going to draw a chip out
of the bucket, or are we going to figure
32
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,440
out another way to decide who gets in
the Grade 8?
33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,580
I'll race. Y 'all are going to race to a
spot off the trailer. I'll race. Okay,
34
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,420
so y 'all are going to race. You don't
get a test pass. The test pass is your
35
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:39,840
race. Whoever wins that will then be in
the grade eight. All right?
36
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,720
All right, ladies.
37
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,660
We want to draw last this time. Yeah,
we're going to change it up.
38
00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:46,260
Oh, wow. Really?
39
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:47,418
Yep, yeah.
40
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:48,418
I wanted last.
41
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:51,120
Go ahead, pick one. You can have the
very last, and me and Lizzie will draw
42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,120
right before you. Yeah.
43
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,280
Hey, that's a good, you know, middle of
them all.
44
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:56,900
Okay,
45
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:59,980
that didn't work quite as well. No, it
didn't. We would still do it. We would
46
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:00,980
hope.
47
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,360
Okay, where are my number ones at?
48
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Number one, Nate Saylor and Kai Kelly.
49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,079
Oh, man.
50
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,500
We drew Nate Saylor first round.
51
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:17,200
I didn't want to draw Murder Nova
because I felt like he was in our heads.
52
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:21,240
We reached in there and drew a guy just
as fast as him, and we've beaten Nate
53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Saylor all year.
54
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:26,020
So we know he owes us one. So that's one
of them guys you don't want to draw.
55
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:29,260
Nate, congrats on your win last week, by
the way. Mutational.
56
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:35,080
Number two, Robin Roberts and Lizzie
Mucey.
57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Okay. All right.
58
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440
First round, I end up drawing Robin
Roberts.
59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,300
Robin, he's been running real good. But
if you look in the grade eight circle,
60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,520
there is no one you want to draw there.
So I can't really, you have to be on
61
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,720
your A game no matter who you draw.
Number three.
62
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:53,600
Lizzie, we're not doing that again. No,
we're not.
63
00:03:54,310 --> 00:03:58,590
Murder Nova. We drew Murder Nova. It is
a very tough matchup.
64
00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:03,430
He's won the last two grade eights. And
the last time we lined up, he beat me by
65
00:04:03,430 --> 00:04:04,430
just a smidge.
66
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:07,770
But the time before that, I beat him by
just a smidge.
67
00:04:08,010 --> 00:04:13,370
My fourth and final pair will be Damon
Merchant versus the winner of the Gates
68
00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:14,790
and Axeman. Oh, wow.
69
00:04:15,230 --> 00:04:18,810
You know who you're racing. Go back to
pits. Get your car turned around. Y 'all
70
00:04:18,810 --> 00:04:22,150
get one test pass except for Axeman and
Gates who are racing.
71
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:27,330
So how's the chit -throw deal go?
72
00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:32,210
Axeman, you know, I like him. He's one
of my favorites. He's cool as hell.
73
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:33,410
Straight off the trailer?
74
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:37,790
Straight off the trailer, left lane.
Left lane. And then whoever wins that
75
00:04:37,790 --> 00:04:41,230
through Damon, fourth pair, left lane.
76
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:45,250
You guys got a grudge? No, we're racing
for the grade 8 with Axeman off the
77
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:46,450
trailer. Oh, okay.
78
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:51,470
Last time we was in the grade 8 was in
Brainerd, Minnesota, and we won it. We
79
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:52,470
beat Kai.
80
00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:56,440
We beat Axeman, and we beat Giuseppe in
the finals. We won the $10 ,000.
81
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,500
We're here today. We finally had some
struggles. It got us out of the grade
82
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,700
eight, but we're right there back at it.
We was one round away from securing it.
83
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:07,440
But 50 -50 chance, I feel lucky. I'm
going to go up here and grab it, and
84
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,180
going to come on back and get this thing
down through there.
85
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,380
That's kind of hard, Kevin.
86
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Track look all right?
87
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:18,160
The track looks good. It's a bit thick.
88
00:05:18,730 --> 00:05:19,269
Is it?
89
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:21,290
But it's most body is healing.
90
00:05:21,550 --> 00:05:24,490
My biggest concern is water coming up.
91
00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:30,450
If you go over there, like it's dry, but
you go over there and rub your foot
92
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:32,810
deep down in it, water comes up.
93
00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:38,610
Dang! It's going to be a... Racing off a
trailer is always the hardest because
94
00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:39,509
you don't know the track.
95
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:43,930
Use that first pass for all your data.
You can see every bump in the track, see
96
00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:47,190
when the car tried to spin and when it
didn't. But I like the racing off the
97
00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:50,560
trailer. It shows who can get down and
who can't.
98
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Again, folks, this is an off -the
-trailer race for the eighth and final
99
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,920
the Grade 8 class tonight.
100
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,080
All right, so we've got David Gates in
the left lane.
101
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:20,040
Axeman Larry Roach in the right.
102
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:24,540
These two drivers tied in points.
103
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,460
Only way to settle it is to race for it.
104
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:55,160
Axeman takes the win, so he will be
racing in the grade eight.
105
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,320
He will take that eighth and final spot.
106
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,180
We raced it off the trailer old school
style.
107
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:04,540
Best man won.
108
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,300
We're going to go the rest of the night,
figure this thing out, be ready for him
109
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:11,240
tomorrow, so next week we'll be in. So
he'll give us the rest of the night to
110
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,500
our testing and get it lined out with
everything we're doing. And when we go
111
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,240
bed tonight, I feel like we'll be real
confident in the morning for the first
112
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880
round. You got full of data or you want
me to?
113
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:21,180
Got it.
114
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:36,780
It feels like the front end's off the
ground, so you could move the steering
115
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:40,920
wheel, thinking that, and it would go
one way or another, you know what I
116
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,660
You know, we started off the season
running through everybody in the grade
117
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:45,660
jumped way out in points.
118
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:48,880
In the last two weeks, we've had first
-round exits.
119
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:07,290
Murder Nova all of a sudden decided to
start doing good.
120
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:13,730
And Murder Nova wins again against Kai.
121
00:08:14,270 --> 00:08:15,270
That's right, baby!
122
00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:17,150
Yeah!
123
00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:20,970
It really didn't affect us in points
because he's only got 20 points and I
124
00:08:20,970 --> 00:08:25,010
got 47. So as long as we don't screw it
up from here on out, I think we still
125
00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:28,310
got a pretty comfortable lead because
really I just got to worry about Murder
126
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:31,550
Nova on his little killing spree he's
doing because if he keeps winning every
127
00:08:31,550 --> 00:08:32,809
weekend, he's going to catch me.
128
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,960
Just like normal, Kyle Kelly, drawing
out of the bucket fashion.
129
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,780
I go up there, and I draw last week's
MPK winner.
130
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,020
How you doing, man? What's going on,
man?
131
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:47,860
I got a tough draw going in the first
round, and that's pretty much the end of
132
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:48,860
the story.
133
00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:50,940
Did you look at it?
134
00:08:51,460 --> 00:08:54,640
I'm looking at it, and I'm trying to
figure out what's wrong with it. It felt
135
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920
like I broke a blower, but it's not
broke.
136
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Yeah, like it left good, and it was good
until about 610, and then it was
137
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,360
like...
138
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:08,340
Like the motor didn't quit, the motor's
running, but the motor's banging up
139
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:09,340
against the rev limiter.
140
00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:10,420
Oh.
141
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:16,960
Okay. Well, the grudge match against
John Odom, we broke the transmission.
142
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:23,780
So left is left hard and left straight,
and the transmission gave out, started
143
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:24,800
banging off the rev limiter.
144
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,620
He said it's just banging off the rev
limiter. This is your rev limiter
145
00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:31,460
It comes up here, and then it's a nasty
-ass wall.
146
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:33,100
Yep. It's kind of a little bit crazy.
147
00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:34,540
We'll make the shift along the two.
148
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:35,740
Yep. Yep.
149
00:09:37,060 --> 00:09:38,560
Tranny. All right.
150
00:09:39,060 --> 00:09:40,060
All right, guys.
151
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:42,040
We're going to take the tranny out.
152
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:44,360
Broke a transmission and that grudge
hit.
153
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,200
We just needed to focus on our grade
eight, and here I got greedy, and we
154
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,380
actually broke the transmission.
155
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,860
So we have an hour to put a new
transmission in the car. We're going to
156
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:54,280
started. Set it right here, guys.
157
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:03,870
Just set it right here, guys.
158
00:10:07,530 --> 00:10:09,510
We broke a transmission and that grudge
hit.
159
00:10:09,790 --> 00:10:12,910
So we have an hour to put a new
transmission in the car. We're going to
160
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:15,370
started. I think we can change the
tranny in an hour.
161
00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:17,910
All right.
162
00:10:18,210 --> 00:10:24,930
When you want to spare transmission,
nothing comes exactly the way you have
163
00:10:24,930 --> 00:10:29,750
have it. So all the changes we've made
to this car, we've also made changes to
164
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:31,770
transmission. So we had fittings that
were wrong.
165
00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:36,890
plugs that were wrong, hoses that were
wrong. So we had to steal everything off
166
00:10:36,890 --> 00:10:39,150
of the old transmission, put it on the
spare.
167
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:41,390
Have you changed bearings in it in a
while?
168
00:10:41,610 --> 00:10:42,610
I have bearings.
169
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:45,410
I guess I could ink it apart real quick.
You got it from how you put on it.
170
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:47,410
Huh?
171
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:55,390
What are you talking about?
172
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,520
What about this one?
173
00:11:04,780 --> 00:11:08,340
This one's smaller too.
174
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:13,500
He was trying to get time, but I don't
think they're going to let him have
175
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,760
I'm getting ready to get in my car and
push up.
176
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:20,500
Nate comes over here and says that his
transmission's bad in his car and he's
177
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:21,439
trying to change it.
178
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,860
Normally that's a 20 or 30 minute job.
179
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,940
I'll just wait and see what happens.
180
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Somebody get under there and help him
push that up. Oh, Dan is.
181
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Okay.
182
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Where's he at?
183
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:43,940
Hurt something?
184
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,280
That's the transmission.
185
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,520
I don't know.
186
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:03,060
Realistically, at least 20, 30 minutes.
187
00:12:08,319 --> 00:12:09,500
Now you can take your time, guys.
188
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,860
It's tough, but, I mean, there's no
sense in crying over spilt milk. I mean,
189
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,880
it's broke.
190
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:23,420
I can't unbreak it. We have a spare.
We're going to get it put in the car.
191
00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:27,720
At the end of the day, my safety and the
safety of the guy in the other lane is
192
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720
more important to me.
193
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:30,460
Excuse me, guys.
194
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Excuse me.
195
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,320
Sorry.
196
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,880
And I can tell you this will be a
learning lesson for me.
197
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,740
we're going to take those transmissions
out and they will have all the same
198
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:43,620
fittings, all the same lines. So I can
literally take one out and dump it in.
199
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,180
I could have done that, we wouldn't have
spent a half an hour, 45 minutes
200
00:12:46,180 --> 00:12:47,280
swapping everything.
201
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,120
We'd have made first round grade eight.
202
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,420
Yeah. Yeah. No, I tried. I got 20 more
minutes. So that's it.
203
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480
I appreciate you giving me a chance
anyways.
204
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,580
I got it in. I just, there's no way I
can get up here in time.
205
00:13:03,290 --> 00:13:06,810
We get up there, we wait in the staging
lanes for 10 or 15 more minutes, then he
206
00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:10,170
finally pulls up and said, hey, man,
I've still got 20 or 30 minutes left.
207
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:14,370
I'm not going to make it. You're going
to get a competition buy. So finally get
208
00:13:14,370 --> 00:13:15,370
some good luck.
209
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:22,250
All right, folks, here we go.
210
00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:25,990
Grade 8 first round coming at you right
now.
211
00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:31,310
I tell you, getting a break as Nate
Saylor unable.
212
00:13:32,140 --> 00:13:37,860
To make the call to Ty Kelly, getting a
bye run here in the first round.
213
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,920
Guy Kelly, nice pass there in the left
lane.
214
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,580
So he will move on to the next round of
the grade eight.
215
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,620
Kai didn't wait for him?
216
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,920
No.
217
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,940
Well, I don't think they were close
either.
218
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:20,820
I raced myself, but I didn't cross. I
didn't red light. I done everything
219
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,920
and the car went fast. So the team's on
top of it. I'm on top of it. I feel like
220
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,920
I cut a good light.
221
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,360
I feel confident going into the second
round for the first time in three weeks.
222
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,940
we tried something we wouldn't have
tried it took it so it's gonna make our
223
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:39,200
faster for the rest of the day so it's
all good uh luck starting off with luck
224
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,460
luck's always good
225
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:47,620
can
226
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:51,040
i get a picture with you
227
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,200
This race, I actually feel a little bit
better. The last race, I was not feeling
228
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,200
so great.
229
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,200
I was sleeping a whole lot.
230
00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:09,740
My treatments really knocked me down on
my feet, but I kept going.
231
00:15:09,980 --> 00:15:14,560
It wasn't the greatest of a race for us
in Ohio, but we're moving on to the next
232
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,420
race. I feel confident. I think the car
is going to make a really good run, so
233
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:21,180
we can go up there and run our race.
Hey, thank you, guys.
234
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:27,160
What? Did you get the grade A? Yeah. I
was doing it anyway.
235
00:15:28,270 --> 00:15:29,450
I got Lizzie.
236
00:15:30,150 --> 00:15:34,130
Man, we worry a lot about Lizzie because
she can run really good. She's just
237
00:15:34,130 --> 00:15:38,810
really salty. So she's also really good
on the tree. And so I want to do my job
238
00:15:38,810 --> 00:15:39,569
just right.
239
00:15:39,570 --> 00:15:42,010
She's been killing it. She's won two
races in a row.
240
00:15:42,630 --> 00:15:44,910
She's pretty badass. And then she got a
little bit inconsistent.
241
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:48,110
So we don't know which Lizzie Musi we're
going to see. But if she runs good,
242
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:49,170
it's going to be super tough.
243
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,300
All right, next pair.
244
00:16:09,140 --> 00:16:11,980
This first round of the grade eight.
Over in the right lane, that is going to
245
00:16:11,980 --> 00:16:12,980
Robin Roberts.
246
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,380
Robin Roberts in the right lane.
247
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,540
Going up against Lizzie Musi in the
left.
248
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:48,780
Takes the win. Nice job.
249
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,740
Robin on the tree, never looked back.
250
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:01,000
I missed it by a hair on the tree, but
not enough for him to, like, come out on
251
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000
me like this.
252
00:17:02,660 --> 00:17:04,960
So he was definitely pulling ass.
253
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,839
I was probably right there with him,
but, like, a little past 60 foot, he
254
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,460
like, pulling real hard, and he, like,
stayed there, and I stayed where I was.
255
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,200
I don't know. It just sucks going out
first round again. We've been having,
256
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,839
been rough last two races, and I don't
want to make it three. We've still got
257
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:25,339
Invitational coming up, but we've got to
get a little bit faster because
258
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:26,780
apparently Robin's flying.
259
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:29,040
Good job, Robin. You're on it.
260
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Good job.
261
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,879
Good race.
262
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,180
Yep. See you. Okay.
263
00:17:42,410 --> 00:17:46,410
So I've been in two grade eights and
I've won them both, you know. So I don't
264
00:17:46,410 --> 00:17:50,250
know if that's a good thing or a bad
thing right now because in my mind
265
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,890
a lot of pressure on me to go out and do
good again.
266
00:17:53,230 --> 00:17:54,830
Right now we're sitting in fourth.
267
00:17:55,170 --> 00:17:56,990
We're still a long ways behind Kai.
268
00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:02,270
So at this point we have to get points
every grade eight if we're going to
269
00:18:02,270 --> 00:18:03,270
Kai.
270
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:08,550
I think I, yeah, I do got to be pushed
back.
271
00:18:09,570 --> 00:18:10,910
Here we go. Got it?
272
00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:14,920
We have a little problem that we can't
find.
273
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,860
You know, I'm having a hard time right
now balancing my life, if we're going to
274
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:23,280
be honest. A lot of people stayed and
tested last week at Dragway 42, and I
275
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,080
would have loved the opportunity to do
that. But, you know, right now I'm
276
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,360
struggling with being a full -time mom
and a full -time racer. And I had to go
277
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:34,400
home and watch my baby play baseball.
And, you know, if I lose first round
278
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,260
because I made that decision, then so be
it. But I'm doing the best I can.
279
00:18:51,950 --> 00:18:56,150
lane backing up the pro charge mustang
that is miss kayla morton going up
280
00:18:56,150 --> 00:19:02,630
against murder nova murder nova there in
the left lane has won two grade eight
281
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:07,690
events in a row looking to make it three
gonna have to get around kayla morton
282
00:19:07,690 --> 00:19:10,590
though first year in this first round
283
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:37,200
right lane backing up the pro -charge
mustang that is miss kayla morton going
284
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:43,280
against murder nova has won two grade
eight events in a row looking to make it
285
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,820
three gonna have to get around kayla
morton those first years in this first
286
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:49,820
round
287
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:16,110
going to get the win there.
288
00:20:16,810 --> 00:20:20,950
Kayla Morton on a pass, but the car made
a hard move across the center.
289
00:20:21,330 --> 00:20:22,330
That was abrupt.
290
00:20:23,610 --> 00:20:24,610
My God.
291
00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:30,950
I let go of the button.
292
00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:35,910
I looked over, and of course Kayla's
there. Her car's 60 foot's really well,
293
00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:40,290
it's 330's really well. It was pretty
neck and neck. Then all of a sudden, she
294
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:41,149
fell back.
295
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:43,130
I didn't know what happened. Are you
okay?
296
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:44,690
Yep. What happened?
297
00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:46,690
Did you not make one?
298
00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:50,230
I took out all the cones and got crazy.
Oh, no.
299
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:53,670
Dude, like, this thing is wild.
300
00:20:55,090 --> 00:20:58,450
We've been fighting this car for the
past few rounds.
301
00:20:58,890 --> 00:21:02,250
She's just extremely temperamental right
now, hard to control.
302
00:21:02,730 --> 00:21:03,750
Anyways, good job, babe.
303
00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:04,950
Good job.
304
00:21:06,010 --> 00:21:07,710
Y 'all will figure it out. Mess.
305
00:21:08,490 --> 00:21:11,890
It's all good. This thing is just being
a complete bitch, honestly.
306
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,840
Been that way since 42.
307
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,780
I'm just having to drive it every pass,
and, like, it's just not fun right now.
308
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,960
But we'll figure it out.
309
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,020
We'll get it back, get up on the sands,
look underneath, and then make a test
310
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:26,540
pass. But Sean deserves that win for
sure. But we were right with him until
311
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:27,540
weren't.
312
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,380
I'm going to end up crashing this piece.
313
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,220
I want to roll it back, get the motor
out of the sun, put this back on that
314
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:39,220
like we usually do.
315
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Hello. Will you do shoots real quick?
316
00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:47,420
Please.
317
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:50,520
I got to clean up all this.
318
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,300
We're going to have to get on top of
this car.
319
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:56,740
Make sure that, you know, everything's
right, everything's ready.
320
00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:00,720
We slipped up a little bit last week,
but the car's hauling ass.
321
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,980
It feels good. So I feel like we can get
a handle on it and haul out here.
322
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,040
All right. Good.
323
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:17,670
About 200, 250.
324
00:22:17,930 --> 00:22:20,070
Well, somewhere up through there. I
thought that chattered. I thought it
325
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:21,690
chattered a little.
326
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:25,430
And then it started back strolling. And
then, I don't know, the last 100 feet,
327
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:26,470
it was calm.
328
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:28,410
But at the front, I don't know. You
probably know.
329
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:30,830
I don't know if you said it like that or
not.
330
00:22:31,150 --> 00:22:36,750
Yeah, I was pretty conservative on the
fuel and timing. Just to keep it alive.
331
00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:40,450
We've got to race all weekend. Yeah, no,
actually, I only made a hell of a pass.
332
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:45,250
I told Sarah, I told Sarah, if I have to
drive this truck the rest of the year.
333
00:22:45,580 --> 00:22:48,340
If we can go test during the week, that
pays off.
334
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:55,320
For the whole car to be new and a
different engine, rear end, converter,
335
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,320
then roll off the trailer.
336
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,700
Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it.
337
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,220
Racing Damon, you never know.
338
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:04,880
Last time I raced him, I outran him time
before. He outran me, so we're back and
339
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,880
forth all season.
340
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,840
Most of us have Hemi's. He doesn't have
a Hemi, so I give him props for making
341
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,820
that car so fast without having to go
through a Hemi.
342
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,080
It's going to be tough.
343
00:23:21,230 --> 00:23:24,730
All right, folks, last pair coming at
you. That right lane, that's going to be
344
00:23:24,730 --> 00:23:27,370
Damon Merchant going up against Axeman.
345
00:23:27,570 --> 00:23:29,910
There it goes. They're in the left lane.
346
00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:34,110
This will be the last pair of the grade
A first round.
347
00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Takes the win.
348
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Nice pass from both cars, but Axeman.
349
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:05,740
Moving on to the next round. Nice job.
350
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Son of a bitch.
351
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:14,240
I took my time getting in, grabbed the
button. It rocked really hard, knocked
352
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,240
out the felt ball.
353
00:24:16,340 --> 00:24:18,400
Let go of the button. Didn't go red.
354
00:24:18,860 --> 00:24:23,720
At the 3 .30, I was ahead of him. He
starts coming and flips me at the end.
355
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,360
Damn, it's hard out here. These guys are
fast.
356
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,920
and we're losing by inches. So we're
just going to have to do something to
357
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,480
it up out back and, you know, stay out
in front of these guys.
358
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,120
It's that feeling when I let off the
brake and I don't see them, I don't hear
359
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,200
them, and then, like, we're coming right
up on the mile -an -hour cone, and it's
360
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:51,020
like, I got this. And they just clip us
at the end, man. I don't know how
361
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:53,780
many races we've lost like that this
year, and I don't.
362
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,460
But the thing is, like, it's hard,
saying down there, it's kind of hard to
363
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:09,460
all, you know, down about it because the
car is running. Like, everybody's
364
00:25:09,460 --> 00:25:11,480
just leaning on it. It's go time.
365
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,820
And that's, maybe that's where our lack
of experience in this is going to start
366
00:25:18,820 --> 00:25:23,640
hurting us. I don't know. I mean, I know
we're competitive, but they're starting
367
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,640
to really lay into their.
368
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,280
That was an awesome race.
369
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,180
I mean, it's a great eight for a reason.
370
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:35,940
Shoot. I'm just glad to move on to the
next round.
371
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,580
Hopefully I can take somebody out.
372
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:40,500
I'm going to try anyway.
373
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,720
Yeah, I seen it. Coming up to the 330, I
seen a little corner of my eye. I was
374
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,559
like, uh -oh.
375
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,140
And then all of a sudden, I just said,
yeah.
376
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:47,679
See you later.
377
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,680
Pulled off from it.
378
00:25:51,020 --> 00:25:51,779
Hey, man.
379
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:52,820
Made it out of the first round.
380
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,240
That's because you didn't drop more than
others.
381
00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:56,720
No, I didn't drop nobody.
382
00:25:57,060 --> 00:25:58,060
Had a competition behind.
383
00:25:58,820 --> 00:25:59,820
That's what I mean.
384
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,860
All right, we're going to go ahead and
start our Grade 8 semifinals driver's
385
00:26:03,860 --> 00:26:08,860
meeting, folks. We started with eight
drivers. We are now down to four, first
386
00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:09,860
and foremost.
387
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,780
Murder Nova, still in the show, got his
win there in the first round. Murder
388
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:19,120
Nova looking to make it three in a row
for Grade 8 wins.
389
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Also, current Grade 8 point leader, Kai
Kelly, still standing.
390
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,780
Made the second round. Good job, Kai.
391
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:32,920
It was a tough race for you there. Man,
that other lane was empty. But you made
392
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,440
a good pass nonetheless.
393
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:39,460
Unfortunately, Nate Saylor unable to get
his car turned around after whatever he
394
00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:41,940
broke. But now, no free wins this round.
395
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:45,360
As you've got some tough competitors
standing next to you. You've got Axeman
396
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,180
Robin Roberts as well.
397
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,520
Two very fast drivers.
398
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:54,080
Well, hell, let's go ahead and draw
chips. See who's racing who here in this
399
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,080
semifinals round.
400
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,200
My number one step up.
401
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:11,940
Kai Kelly versus Axeman, which means my
second pair will be Robin Roberts versus
402
00:27:11,940 --> 00:27:13,300
Murder Nova.
403
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,840
All right, y 'all.
404
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:18,640
You know who you're racing. You know
what you got to do. Go back to the pit,
405
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,480
your cars turned around, and bring them
up here to the staging lane.
406
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:23,700
I don't want to draw none of y 'all.
407
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:27,800
I like that competition buy deal I got
last round. That was nice.
408
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,160
Yeah.
409
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:33,400
You got to race Axe?
410
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Yeah. He might take a good pass.
411
00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:39,480
Yeah, me and Axeman decided we was going
to stand by each other so we wouldn't
412
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,340
have to pick murdering over Robin
Roberts.
413
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,220
And y 'all picked each other? Yeah, they
told us, that ain't going to work. It
414
00:27:46,220 --> 00:27:47,220
worked.
415
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,020
We wanted to race each other.
416
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,540
I feel like we got a better chance with
us than them two.
417
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,900
What do you think, Motor Man?
418
00:27:58,900 --> 00:27:59,900
We're ready.
419
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,240
So all season, Kyle's been killing it
with the Jenga lane.
420
00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:05,180
I mean, he's been hurting everyone's
feelings.
421
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,960
But last race or so, Jenga lane's been
breaking apart.
422
00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:10,460
He popped the blower.
423
00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:15,220
I mean, it's just been heart failure
about every time it takes him out of the
424
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:18,660
race. But still, I'm not going to
underestimate him because I know he's
425
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:20,560
have that hot rod turned up to try to
pit me out.
426
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,820
So he did make a good lick in the left
lane? Yeah.
427
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:25,980
So he's been in the left lane, what,
twice? Three times.
428
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,859
Yeah, dang.
429
00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:29,860
He ought to be used to that lane.
430
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,680
Kyle's number one in the grade eight.
I'm number three. He's about 20 points
431
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,540
ahead of me. So if I can take him out,
that's just another point or two I can
432
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:37,519
pull off.
433
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,840
And if I can pull the wind off, hey, two
wins and I've tied him. So that's
434
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:43,840
actually the game plan.
435
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,440
Grade eight semifinal starts now. We've
got two pairs here.
436
00:29:00,130 --> 00:29:03,130
First pair coming at you right now over
the right lane. That is going to be
437
00:29:03,130 --> 00:29:07,350
Axeman. Larry Roach, Axeman there in the
right lane. Back in the game changer
438
00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:08,309
Mustang up.
439
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:10,830
And in the left lane, that will be Kai
Kelly.
440
00:29:11,390 --> 00:29:12,610
Right at that Regal.
441
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:15,470
Current points leader in the grade A.
442
00:29:39,950 --> 00:29:43,350
Axeman will take the win. Kai Kelly
breaks the blower belt right on the hit.
443
00:29:45,970 --> 00:29:46,970
What's that, man?
444
00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:49,110
Whoo!
445
00:29:49,930 --> 00:29:51,490
That feels a lot better.
446
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:53,250
So me and Kai rolled in.
447
00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:55,210
I knew I was going to have my hands
pulled.
448
00:29:55,530 --> 00:29:59,410
Light turned green. I turned loose at
trans brake. The game changer set me
449
00:29:59,510 --> 00:30:01,770
Dang! I get to the finish line, roll
around.
450
00:30:02,030 --> 00:30:03,790
I was amazed at how fast the car ran.
451
00:30:04,190 --> 00:30:05,610
I got to looking. There was no Kai.
452
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,620
Then when everyone rolled up, I said,
what happened to the guy? They said he
453
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:09,620
broke a belt on the start line.
454
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,620
So the race was won right there.
455
00:30:13,660 --> 00:30:14,660
Damn.
456
00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:16,340
Sucks, man.
457
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:19,940
I can understand that we was running
them bitches 20 runs or something, but
458
00:30:19,940 --> 00:30:20,940
sucks. Yeah.
459
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,100
When you buy a box of blower belts,
you're supposed to get 12 passes out of
460
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,760
blower at a minimum.
461
00:30:29,060 --> 00:30:32,460
And the first belt we put on, it broke
like seven passes.
462
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,240
The second belt shredded in half at
like... Six passes.
463
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:39,120
And then that one just broke at nine
passes.
464
00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:43,580
So we're going to take that box of belts
and the whole box because that's
465
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:44,479
stupid, man.
466
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,980
A $250 belt costs you $10 ,000, you
know.
467
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:52,380
I really felt like I had an opportunity
to be in the final tonight and then some
468
00:30:52,380 --> 00:30:53,380
dump like that.
469
00:30:53,820 --> 00:30:54,880
I hate that.
470
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,320
That is the hardest way to lose.
471
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,560
I might put some used ones in there.
472
00:31:05,399 --> 00:31:06,399
Yeah.
473
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:10,700
Hey, Brian.
474
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:12,240
Let's set the torque wrench up.
475
00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:15,180
105.
476
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,900
Man, I drew Murder Nova for the
semifinals.
477
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:19,300
What a badass.
478
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:22,960
He's won two in a row. He was in the
finals last week in the Invitational.
479
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,300
he's just on a roll.
480
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,500
This is going to be tough.
481
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,600
Should be good. I put one flat, and that
ARV made it longer.
482
00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:32,860
Let's see how that works.
483
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:38,940
Hopefully it takes away that little
right off the hit. It just takes a
484
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:40,960
left move, and let's see if we can get
rid of that.
485
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,940
I think our cars are quite similar.
486
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,960
I mean, we've both got Proline MH7s, so
there's so much to say. There's a lot of
487
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,719
parity here.
488
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,820
Our runs are neck and neck, and so let's
just see.
489
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,540
All right. I'm going to go ahead and get
in.
490
00:32:03,820 --> 00:32:05,860
We went up, and we draw Robin Roberts.
491
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,400
You know, we've been here before.
492
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,020
What? Damn!
493
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,500
I raced Robin in the last grade eight,
and it was actually the first time we
494
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:15,500
ever outran him.
495
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,240
Everybody said he made a killer pass on
his first one, but, you know, every car
496
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,520
up here is fast, and got to take them
out one at a time.
497
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,940
All right, folks, last pair here in
this.
498
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,980
Great eight semifinals over in the right
lane. That is going to be Robin
499
00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:42,060
Roberts. Robin Roberts backing up that
blue Firebird there in the right lane.
500
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,300
And his competitor over in the left
lane. That is going to be Murder Nova.
501
00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:50,080
Murder Nova in the left lane looking to
make it three in a row.
502
00:33:16,750 --> 00:33:17,750
It's the win.
503
00:33:18,110 --> 00:33:24,530
So your grade A finals will be Robin
Roberts versus Axeman.
504
00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:26,750
That was a good race, dude.
505
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:28,790
That was a killer race. My God.
506
00:33:29,010 --> 00:33:30,090
Nice job, brother.
507
00:33:30,350 --> 00:33:32,950
That light was long, wasn't it? Holy.
508
00:33:34,270 --> 00:33:35,770
Nice job, man. Hey.
509
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:41,270
Thank you. I feel like I made a pretty
good one, and I wouldn't.
510
00:33:41,890 --> 00:33:44,870
I wasn't catching you. Yeah, you made a
good lick, man.
511
00:33:45,070 --> 00:33:46,170
No doubt about it, man.
512
00:33:47,550 --> 00:33:48,830
The light was long.
513
00:33:49,510 --> 00:33:51,390
I see a flicker green, and I'm off.
514
00:33:53,570 --> 00:33:58,170
So we're rolling out, and we just edged
him at about 60, and it just stayed
515
00:33:58,170 --> 00:33:59,190
there the whole way.
516
00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:02,550
And I quit paying attention because I
wanted to go straight as an arrow. I
517
00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:05,970
if we faltered or moved at all, he'd be
around us. And I thought he'd have a top
518
00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:06,970
-end charge.
519
00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:09,250
Just quite didn't have enough, and we
got lucky.
520
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,159
I mean, it's big to be him because he's
on such a roll.
521
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,219
For us, though, to get into the finals
of this grade 8, I just wanted to be in
522
00:34:16,219 --> 00:34:19,199
the grade 8. Now we're in the finals of
the grade 8. Now we're going to win it.
523
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,900
Every dumb thing.
524
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:23,260
Every dumb thing?
525
00:34:23,340 --> 00:34:25,580
Every dumb thing. To tighten the loose
nut behind the wheel?
526
00:34:25,780 --> 00:34:26,780
I don't know.
527
00:34:27,540 --> 00:34:28,540
Maybe.
528
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,080
To loosen up behind the wheels and
always get the... Every dumb thing. I
529
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
know. It's been pretty tight so far.
Yeah, it's done good today.
530
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
It's on the level.
531
00:34:40,460 --> 00:34:43,600
Then when you do that, that's when
something's little, you know? Yeah,
532
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Hey, last week we got family doing
something different, so it'll be good.
533
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,480
it's good.
534
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,679
It's our weekend.
535
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,239
It's our weekend.
536
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,120
Hi,
537
00:35:05,340 --> 00:35:09,120
man. I like the way you wake up your
crew. I just saw that video.
538
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,360
Yeah.
539
00:35:11,779 --> 00:35:15,160
Always. Got to get them in the mood,
man. Quit laying around being late.
540
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:25,720
It's time to get it.
541
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,300
Oh, my God.
542
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,620
That's got to be on that intro to one of
the shows.
543
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,000
You got no shirt on and the toenails are
painted red. Yeah.
544
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,980
We're going to go ahead and do our great
eight finals drivers meeting. We
545
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:54,260
started with eight. We are now down to
two.
546
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,100
Yeah. Our two drivers are Robin Roberts
and Axeman.
547
00:35:59,340 --> 00:36:02,400
Going to race for $10 ,000. Here we go.
548
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:12,300
Winner gets $10 ,000 and 10 points
towards the individual championship,
549
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,200
as you know, at the end of the season,
the driver with the most points gets
550
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,600
,000. So a lot of money there for that.
What we're going to do here is we're
551
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,520
going to have a coin toss to decide who
gets lane choice.
552
00:36:22,860 --> 00:36:24,180
Robin Roberts, call in the air, sir.
553
00:36:24,740 --> 00:36:28,940
Heads. Heads is the call. It is Tails
Ackman's lane.
554
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:30,920
You going to let him know?
555
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:33,580
Yeah, definitely. All right, so Ackman's
going to let Robin Roberts know.
556
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:36,770
All right, folks, these two drivers are
going to put on a show for $10 ,000.
557
00:36:36,990 --> 00:36:39,270
Make some noise for Robin Roberts and
Axeman.
558
00:36:40,210 --> 00:36:41,210
Good luck, Robin.
559
00:36:41,490 --> 00:36:43,510
Most likely, that's going to be left.
I'm just saying.
560
00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:45,110
Okay,
561
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:46,270
that's fine.
562
00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:48,190
Thanks, buddy.
563
00:36:51,790 --> 00:36:52,790
How you doing, man?
564
00:36:54,010 --> 00:36:58,690
I'm good, brother. You never know about
this.
565
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:02,590
These guys are so fast, man. Yeah,
really.
566
00:37:04,110 --> 00:37:05,810
I always believe these cars run that
fast.
567
00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:07,230
Blow my mind.
568
00:37:11,370 --> 00:37:12,830
Do your thing, baby. Yeah.
569
00:37:13,170 --> 00:37:14,170
Finish mine.
570
00:37:15,050 --> 00:37:16,290
Okay? Tell Alan Wright.
571
00:37:18,190 --> 00:37:20,810
Same thing you did last time. Finish the
car. Yep.
572
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:23,790
Man, I drew X, man.
573
00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:28,330
Like, I haven't wanted to win anything
like this in a long time. We've kind of
574
00:37:28,330 --> 00:37:31,610
just edged at it this year, and I've
been on the edge in Tulsa and things
575
00:37:31,610 --> 00:37:32,910
that. Now it's our time.
576
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Over in the right lane, backing up that
blue Firebird, that is Robin Roberts.
577
00:37:52,740 --> 00:37:59,700
And in the left lane, driving the game
-changer, first -charge Mustang, that is
578
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:06,560
Axeman. Axeman versus Robin Roberts. 10
,000 to win right here, right now,
579
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,460
on this Maple Grove surface.
580
00:38:42,990 --> 00:38:47,790
Your winner for the Great Eight tonight,
$10 ,000 richer and 10 points towards
581
00:38:47,790 --> 00:38:50,190
the individual championship.
582
00:38:56,410 --> 00:38:59,310
So me and Robin, we left out of there.
583
00:38:59,550 --> 00:39:00,550
I didn't see.
584
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:03,750
My car starts moving to the left just a
little. I tried to correct, but it kept
585
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:04,790
holding left, left, left.
586
00:39:05,050 --> 00:39:08,530
First time in my life I ever seen the
wall and thought I could drive down it.
587
00:39:08,830 --> 00:39:12,210
So I said, I'm not letting out. Usually
I lift. So I just held my foot on that
588
00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:15,090
floor. And all of a sudden, I felt the
car come back to the right. I said, oh,
589
00:39:15,090 --> 00:39:16,090
we're off the wall.
590
00:39:17,110 --> 00:39:18,750
I come off the throttle. The throttle
was stuck.
591
00:39:18,970 --> 00:39:19,970
I said, oh, man.
592
00:39:20,290 --> 00:39:22,230
I go from one death trap straight to the
next.
593
00:39:22,450 --> 00:39:26,950
I get out, and we had a battle wound
here before, like riding in a trailer.
594
00:39:27,230 --> 00:39:30,050
But then I started looking closer, and
you could tell where it hit the wall.
595
00:39:30,130 --> 00:39:31,630
Here, here, here.
596
00:39:32,090 --> 00:39:34,570
So I actually did hit the wall. I didn't
really think I did.
597
00:39:35,110 --> 00:39:36,810
I can't believe it didn't hit the
headers, though.
598
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:46,980
As far as we know, we've got to check
out why the throttle is hanging, but
599
00:39:46,980 --> 00:39:48,720
that's part of racing.
600
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Man,
601
00:39:55,940 --> 00:39:58,520
I'm so excited. We've been looking
forward to this. We've been trying to
602
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,840
get in the grade 8 and stay there.
603
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:03,020
We thought we could win something, but
we could get in, and here we are.
604
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:06,740
That just happened. I can't believe it,
but it just happened.
605
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,040
Yeah, guys.
606
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,260
Thank you.
607
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,040
Just winning in this grade eight is so
incredibly difficult. There are eight of
608
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,280
the best, eight of your top points.
They're the best, and there's no round
609
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:18,999
that's easy.
610
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,400
It's hard to get through this deal. It's
just probably the toughest. It's
611
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,680
tougher to win than the Invitational.
You might get a lucky round in the
612
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,700
Invitational. There's no lucky round in
this group, and we just won it.
613
00:40:31,220 --> 00:40:35,220
Rock and roll.
614
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:42,070
And that's it for the Grade 8 here at
Maple Grove Raceway.
615
00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:47,170
Robin Roberts won his first individual
event of the year and is taking home $10
616
00:40:47,170 --> 00:40:50,850
,000 and adding 10 points to his overall
score.
617
00:40:52,330 --> 00:40:57,730
That gives Robin 13 points, but he has a
long way to go to catch Kai Kelly, who
618
00:40:57,730 --> 00:40:59,270
is in the lead with 50 points.
619
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:03,550
Next time.
620
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:08,860
Kai, you may be in the lead right now.
That might not... be the case much
621
00:41:08,860 --> 00:41:13,360
longer. Y 'all have messed up thoroughly
because you have let Ryan Martin into
622
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,160
the grade eight. So with you even being
in this meeting, Kai Kelly right now is
623
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,160
very nervous. I can tell.
624
00:41:18,620 --> 00:41:22,660
Still number one in points. I've been
stuck in the last three grade eights. So
625
00:41:22,660 --> 00:41:23,880
I'm trying to turn my luck around here.
