Grudge racing. Grudge racing.

Grudge racing. Grudge racing.

Grudge racing.

Grudge all night.

We're looking forward to it.

Farmtruck: Welcome to grudge racing,

a side of no prep you've never seen before.

Boostedgt: We got a call-out. Who do you want?

Chuck: Ryan martin. Fireball: This would be easier

if you just ask - who wants to call me out.

Hey. [ laughter ]

friendly grudge? That doesn't work.

Right here, come on!

[bleep] you want to do this?

I will [bleep] anything you get in.

Announcer: $90,000...

[ indistinct shouting ]

oh! Aw!

Azn: Strategy starts here.

Daddy dave: If I race against somebody during a grudge,

I'm gonna take that data and hand it to my teams.

Chuck: Keep it in a circle.

The only way it's gonna happen

is somebody taking out brian early.

1, 2, 3. [bleep]

kye: Everyone's expecting it to be

all about okc in texas,

but nola's about to make a big statement.

Team nola to the start, man.

Farmtruck: And gathering data

can be the difference...

Let's see what we got.

Azn: ...Between winning...

Ooh! - I think she's back.

...And losing $40,000.

Grudge racing... - Whoo!

...Is where no prep champions are truly born.

Brian "fireball" martin...

So buckle up.

This is "no prep kings: Grudge night."

farmtruck: - This is farmtruck and azn,

and we're at norwalk, ohio, at summit motorsports park.

Azn: It's more of a racetrack

than a park though, bro.

Yeah, I totally agree. It's a bit misleading.

After high-altitude racing in colorado,

teams are preparing their cars for lower elevation here.

That means we'll see faster passes tonight

during grudge racing.

Team okc is loaded up tonight

for team races,

while nola will continue

to pick and choose who they grudge.

But team texas and team outcasts

have limited cars - ready for grudge nights.

So the pressure's on to gain data

and make clean passes tonight.

Mike: There's our leader.

We were just talking about being honest.

You know we suck this year, but we're [bleep] fast.

Chuck 55: Oh, man, we do suck.

I must sound like a broken record,

but team texas has struggled during grudge night,

and colorado was no different.

Shawn wilhoit's mistress caught fire...

Man: Hey, in front of the car, on this side.

On this side. Get the hood.

...And eric bain thrashed his car.

Oh, that's not good.

There ain't nobody here that's slow.

I mean, we're all dangerous. Every one of us are dangerous.

It's just been on of those years.

He's leaving rods on the track.

He's having the exhaust cracked.

We got nothing to lose. Let's put it that way.

That's what makes us so dangerous.

We have nothing to lose.

We good with yours?

Yeah, my ride's good.

No more leaks?

Oh, I've zip-tied a towel, front to back.

Azn: Grudge night strategies

haven't worked for texas,

but they're sticking together, no matter what.

So the few cars they have ready to roll

will gather data for everyone else.

Kayla: Alright, let's do it.

1, 2, 3. [bleep]

[ laughter ]

[ machine whirring unevenly ]

how may I help you, sir?

So, kelley's car, he got hit, running.

This thing was running fantastic till we came up here.

Farmtruck: Team outcast is also dealing with broken cars,

but unlike texas,

their grudge racing strategy has paid off,

with axman going all the way to the finals in joliet...

Axman: That's a good [bleep], right there, boy.

...And vixen going - to the finals in colorado.

[ crowd cheers ]

azn: Tonight, they'll tweak their strategy

and focus on only racing each other,

while drivers like kelly bluebaugh

wrench on their cars.

I feel like I've got the best team.

I've got the best guys.

Do not get me wrong.

We will all send the rods through the pan

or put the car through the wall to try to outrun the other one.

But when we got to band together,

we're gonna band together.

Got some smoke? The exhaust, though,

not going nowhere near that, now.

So, I'll tell you, that's the one spring we just changed.

[ tool whirring ]

so, going by that, we got about 7,000 feet better air.

It was, what, 90, 100 in denver?

-Yeah, 96. Yeah 96.

So, we're right at... It's 2,800 here.

So car is gonna run way better.

Farmtruck: Back in colorado,

the high altitude and lack of air

caused engines to struggle

and nola left with damaged motors.

I've had enough. This hurts.

They're bad huh?

Lizzy: Up here in colorado, we're down on power.

That means we got to add more nitrous.

And adding more nitrous is always a risk

of blowing up the motor.

It's like 9,200 feet of air,

today we got 2,800 feet.

Thanks to colorado, me and lizzy has both got fresh motors.

So, you got a brand-new motor.

So we're sitting on three fresh motors.

And this track is slick,

and I think it's gonna be anybody's game.

With the way our cars are running --

and like you said, we all got brand-new motors --

I think any three of us can take it.

Azn: Nola's shipping out new motors

into ohio, so tonight they'll need

to communicate with one another

on what is and what isn't working

on their new setups for this track.

Farmtruck: And they'll stay away from racing other teams.

The last thing they want is leaking data

to the competition about their new motors.

Leaking data or oil -- really, any leaks

are not good for racing.

At the end of the day I want our team to win.

I don't care if it's any three of us.

And where did that come from?

Who are we nowadays?

Lizzy: I know, right? I know.

I'm just -- I want us to win, bad.

Chuck 55: Alright, so, here we are

at the seventh race in norwalk, ohio.

But we can make a statement right here,

and then, going into the last two races,

we can make it where texas can't touch us

and nola can't catch ryan.

Farmtruck: - Team okc has found a groove

to their grudge night strategy,

racing only each other,

while letting chief take outside hits.

Azn: It's been a strong strategy for the 405,

and in colorado, it helped chief win the entire event.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

Big chief pulls off the upset.

[ crowd cheers ]

hey. Hey.

Obviously -- obviously, team texas

is fighting amongst themselves,

and they ain't got to fold 'em.

Team who? - Exactly.

Big chief: So, when I showed up this season --

mind you, a couple races late --

all I had heard about was

that texas kicked everybody's ass,

and it was oklahoma vs. Texas, supposedly.

When I got here, I couldn't understand

why oklahoma vs. Texas at anything,

cause texas hasn't won a [bleep] thing

since I've been here.

Farmtruck: Team okc will continue

their team grudge racing strategy in ohio.

And with his confidence running high,

chief will go after a team texas heavy-hitter

to steal some data.

Big chief: Alright let's do it.

Chuck 55: Let's do this, 405.

Thanks, everybody. Love you. Thanks.

[ indistinct conversations ]

[ engine revs ]

farmtruck: Lutz and chuck 55

are kicking off grudge night in ohio

and will start - collecting data for the 405.

Azn: Lutz had some trouble, spooling,

back in colorado's high altitude,

so he'll be focused on getting a good jump off the light.

farmtruck: Lutz gets a good jump on the tree

and puts down a solid first pass for the 405.

Azn: And it shows that his car

doesn't have the same spooling issues here.

But chuck 55 stalls out,

and the 405 take away only one pass of data

for their first grudge race.

Back in colorado's grudge night,

chuck's engine blew up

and took him out of the competition.

Chuck 55: Car's hauling ass.

It's got a brand-new motor in it.

I put a brand-new motor in it to come here.

Man: [bleep] damn.

On the first pass, grudge-racing monza,

two rods broke.

Looks like, to me, they were starved with oil,

but regardless, the end result is catastrophic failure.

Got the block and the blanket and everything.

It broke the block.

Yeah, I think the blanket was on fire.

Yeah, he caught everything on fire.

Azn: This grudge night will be very important for chuck

to break in his new motor.

So he's lined up a race with monza,

who'll push him - to put down a fast pass.

Farmtruck: Hey, make sure the bleep button is ready,

because if chuck blows up again,

we're gonna need to use it.

Azn: Let me test it.

[bleep], it's ready.

Yeah, you definitely can't say that on tv.

Oh, yeah, how about this? [bleep].

No! [ laughs ] - [bleep]

[ engines revving ]

coming up, team outcast

looks to step up their game in ohio.

Mike: We got a screw blower.

Second thing we're gonna do is, we got a screw blower.

And third thing we gonna do is, we got a screw blower.

Team nola tests out their brand-new motors.

Lizzy: We get some cars down, so...

We get some data on them?

We should take it. I don't see why not.

Yes!

Azn: Team okc has engine troubles

during grudge night.

Jeff lutz: I don't know.

Oh, you got to be [bleep] me.

[ engines revving ]

farmtruck: Chuck gets a good jump,

but monza goes around him on the big end for the win!

Azn: Both delivered data for the 405.

Chuck's new motor - puts down a strong pass --

a great sign for him at the start of grudge night.

[bleep] get him, monza!

No roaming at the finish line.

[bleep]

big chief: And with this car,

if it doesn't [bleep] plant and get back on the rocker,

you can't do nothing. You know?

Okay, so, we put the armageddon tune-up in it early

and then the [bleep] colorado tune-up out the back.

Azn: After winning the event in colorado,

chief is coming into ohio with a bunch of confidence.

Farmtruck: He's setting his car back up

for the lower elevation.

So, before he takes an outside race,

he's going to test his tune-up

with fellow team okc driver robin roberts.

[ engine revs ]

[ tires screech ]

big chief: We're still doing it,

we're learning, we're going to the different tracks.

We're trying to figure out what each different track does

or doesn't do and what each one of them has.

You know, the lanes and the bumps and all that.

You know, if the track is smooth,

where the transitions are.

There's just a lot to figure out.

Azn: Robin's struggled lately,

so it'll be hard for outside teams

to gauge how fast chief is on this track.

Exactly what the 405 wants.

big chief and robin launch off the line cleanly,

but then pull left almost immediately.

Farmtruck: Robin heads towards the wall

and pulls the chutes early, but big chief hangs in there

and muscles his way for the win light.

Look at chief flexing those bustles.

With a pass under his belt,

chief will now look to set up a race

with the rivals -- team texas.

Looks like it went -- it, like,

bounced up, spun a little this way.

But I know that pass ain't gonna outrun no [bleep] bear.

Daddy dave: I [bleep] up.

Well, my plots and all that [bleep].

I have nothing to load in it, 'cause I can't go back

and load something to go off of.

Okay. You could download --

you could download your last run.

We could make a plot off of your last run.

You could take their laptops,

if you didn't clear your data logger,

data log, download the log,

and then we could make the plot off of that.

Okay. I can do that.

Farmtruck: Daddy dave's up against ryan martin,

but he's having trouble with the tuning in his car.

He's probably using a 1975 texas instruments calculator.

That's what I use on the farm truck.

Got to upgrade that software, dave.

I didn't clear it, so...

So, you just download the [bleep],

save the log. - Data logger.

Download the last log. Yeah, save the log.

I found the last couple, I think, were in there.

Yeah, whatever one you want to go off of.

Probably your last event that I was saying.

Farmtruck: Ryan and dave worked through the solution

just before race time.

Azn: Hey, if his racing career

doesn't pan out,

ryan could make a splash in the I.T. World.

fireball: I put some of the fastest passes we have

together for this thing.

Make a good hit.

We're just gonna do what we do.

Both ryan and dave

are gonna build off previous okc passes.

And, hopefully, dave doesn't have

any lingering program issues.

both deliver strong passes for the 405,

and dave's programming issues aren't a problem anymore.

It's a great all-around team effort.

Must've put new batteries

in that texas instruments calculator.

Kye: Think we ought to be good.

I mean, 2,800 feet ain't ideal,

but it ain't bad air, but I got a fresh motor,

so we're gonna have as much power as we ever had.

And we can use all the nitrous here,

as opposed to, up there, we couldn't.

Yeah.

But just from - the engine standpoint alone,

we're gonna be just fine.

Just a fresh engine. It even sounds better.

Like, up there, it sounded like it was running backwards.

Farmtruck: Kye and the rest of team nola

are coming into ohio's grudge night

with fresh motors.

Azn: And with better air,

their nitrous setups will perform to their full potential.

The good thing about running here is, unlike denver,

we can actually use a sis kit.

You know?

In denver, I was scared to turn on the fifth.

Judging by the pistons that came out in denver,

there's a reason for it.

♪

farmtruck: Kye and jerry bird are first up for team nola.

They'll start off grudge night

by seeing how much power this track can handle.

Azn: No doubt, they're gonna turn all their kits on here.

Kye's got a six-pack,

and he can't wait to crack it open.

[ crowd cheers ]

-it went red too early, -it went red, baby.

[ indistinct conversation ]

azn: Kye red-lights, but puts down a fast pass,

and jerry makes a solid hit, as well.

Farmtruck: - The new motors work well,

which is a huge relief for team nola.

And as everyone knows,

a working motor is a happy motor.

The car's really running good

and the transmission's coming around,

and I'm happy with the transmission.

I'm so glad, we should have did that a long time ago, man.

Yeah, I feel confident.

You didn't mess - with the catch can, huh?

Azn: Team nola is bringing scott taylor up next.

He's got a new motor, as well,

but he'll be testing it out

against a racer without a team --

detroit's brian "chucky" davis in his '69 camaro.

Farmtruck: And after seeing kye and jerry's race,

scott is going to put down as much power as he can

with his new motor, as well.

Scott: The good thing is, from colorado to here,

we picked up about 12 pounds of boost.

So, we're back to sea level, pretty much,

and that makes a huge difference on a pro charger car.

So, we got all the power we need.

We just got to figure out how we can use it.

[ crowd cheers ]

brian "chucky" davis gets loose

on the big end and has to lift early,

but scott puts down a fast pass of data

for team nola to share.

Farmtruck: And most importantly,

team nola's motors - re working well so far in ohio.

Coming up to the line next is team texas' eric bain.

Eric had some major issues back in colorado,

to collect data here in ohio.

And he'll be taking on a driver without a team,

kansas' randy williams.

As for randy, he'll need to regroup

and figure out his mechanical issues

and hope to get back on the track for another grudge.

Otherwise, he'll have no data

and no idea - how to handle this track.

And third thing we're gonna do is, we got a screw blower.

A screw blower is the god of all gods

It just happened to be sitting on top of my motor.

A screw blower is so efficient,

a great name for a band.

Farmtruck: - I'd camp out for tickets.

After the last race, we were out in colorado,

we had a couple issues with the car.

We blew the headers open.

So we had to go back after that race

team outcast wants to hone in on the tune vixen just put down,

so they're bringing out two of their drivers

for a grudge -- axman and b-rad.

It's the last race for team outcast tonight,

so both drivers are going to put down as much power as possible

to see how much this track can take.

♪

♪

[ cheers and applause ]

luminosity backfires out of the carburetor,

and b-rad sees flames.

Axman gets jumpy and red-lights.

He continues to run

and puts down a straight pass with a ton of power.

It's a messy way to end their night

as team outcast comes away with another broken car.

Big chief waited all night, but has stuck to his strategy

with setting up a grudge with team texas.

So now he's taking on the heavy hitter, mike murillo.

But murillo has come into ohio with more engine issues.

It's good? Alright.

Let's button the [bleep]

mike: I'm trying new things that I normally wouldn't.

I'm throwing more snot at our girl,

leaving the starting line, than I ever have,

and it's responding, but at the same time,

it's almost a little bit uncontrollable.

So -- but we got nothing to lose.

♪

murillo beat chief last week at colorado's grudge night.

So big chief will be focused on stealing data and redemption.

♪

♪

farmtruck: Grudge racing is a huge opportunity

to collect data on the track.

Look at that.

That [bleep] looks beautiful, too.

.8, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6.

This thing is gonna haul ass.

Yeah, it looks really good.

Yeah, tuition. That was tuition.

Farmtruck: However, there's always a chance

of destroying a motor during these high-powered races.

It's a risk every racer takes, heading to the line.

We went from making a great pass

to that thing just ate about 15 grand.

But if the driver is rolling with the team,

they can rely on their teammates to gather more data.

Man: He looked fast last night.

I don't think he's fast as y'all are, though.

I think it might be some high teens.

Fast. [bleep].

We'll get one more round of data,

and, hopefully, y'all can sort through that.

If you want their data, I'll go get it for you.

[ laughs ]

good to go. - Bam!

Farmtruck: Another reason why - teamwork makes dream work.

Azn: That line never gets old.

♪

♪

azn: Mike murillo went red, giving chief the automatic win.

It's not the redemption chief was looking for,

especially when he had to lift at the 100-foot mark,

but I'm sure he'll take it.

Farmtruck: - And missed an opportunity,

coming away with no data on team texas' heavy hitter.

Big chief can't be happy about that.

It's okay, chief, we definitely still believe in you.

Every good pass I made was crap.

The car was not doing what it was told,

and I had no idea if I even should be here at this point.

Which is weird 'cause I just came off

winning the whole damn thing at the last one.

I'm a little nervous that I don't have enough

for the heavy hitters yet,

so it's just a lot to figure out.

After chief's unsuccessful race,

and dominator and chuck destroyed their motors,

the 405 needs to end grudge night on a high note.

So the team has called on their heavy hitter, ryan martin.

Ryan had a great pass in the fireball earlier today,

and now he's looking to lock in a tune for team okc

and salvage their night.

Chuck 55 also had - mechanical issues earlier today,

and we'll see - if he's fixed those problems.

Or if he'll be added

to team okc's - damaged-goods department.

Dent-and-ding department. [ chuckles ] "for sale."

♪

whoo, what a drag race right there,

ladies and gentlemen, but the fireball camaro

cruised too much on the top end and takes the win.

Ryan puts down another fast pass,

showing his tune worked for the track at night --

something the entire team will want to build off of.

And chuck 55 gets his chevy down the track for a clean pass.

Also a good result for team okc.

♪

♪

team nola - is closing out grudge night.

And after successful passes today,

they'll look to lock in a tune that fits the track at night.

After all the issues in colorado's thin air,

scott taylor and kye kelley want

one last pass on these new setups.

Just breathe. - Nitrous motors, just breathe.

Namaste.

♪

♪

scott gets off the line clean, but goes dancing on the big end,

moving back and forth a bunch.

Shakin' that money-maker.

Kye beat him off the tree and never saw him.

He laid down a great pass and gave team nola

a tune to use - for the night conditions.

And most importantly, team nola goes in tomorrow's main event

with their new motors intact and ready to roll.

Announcer: And that will do it for tonight, norwalk.

Thank you so much for coming out.

Kye: Let's do it. Yeah.

We're trying to win a championship.

Trying to win a championship.

That's it. - Team nola, baby.

Farmtruck: - After testing their new motors against each other

and staying away from other teams...

This feels great.

Thankfully, we were able to fix the problems with the car.

...Team nola storm through norwalk's main event.

Team nola is running fast,

and we're gonna catch ryan mark.

And kye kelley got all the way to the finals.

♪

azn: Team okc...

I just cannot catch a break.

...Re-strategized...

I'm dead. Who needs it the most?

I'd pass.

Chuck's car is hurt.

So really he needs it more than I do.

Azn: And use their hurt motors to their advantage.

Whoa, dominator's calling out big chief right now!

I might say it.

And by continuing to grudge only each other,

ryan martin made it back to another finals race

and capped it off...

$40,000 right here!

...By beating kye kelley for another win.

[ cheers and applause ]

whoo! Yeah!

We took that "w" in the finals and got that $40,000.
