The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a very expensive luxury car. It’s built to be extremely comfortable and quiet rather than sporty. The podcast is mentioning it as a luxury option, even if the person talking isn’t into it right now.
That’s when you remove the bottom pan under the engine to look inside. It’s a big job, and if the engine parts are found down there, it often means the engine broke badly.
If the engine’s internal parts end up in the oil pan, it usually means the engine failed in a serious way. It’s not a small fix—something inside broke and the engine can’t keep running normally.
Concept
weight loss for racing ("losing all the weight")
Racers often remove extra weight to make the car quicker. Less weight can help the car speed up faster and feel more responsive.
Boost is extra pressure from a turbo or supercharger that shoves more air into the engine. More boost can make more power, but it has to be tuned safely.
The BMW 5 Series is a luxury car that’s meant to be comfortable for everyday driving. Some owners modify them to make more power, including adding forced-air systems that increase boost. The podcast is talking about a 5 Series that’s been set up for higher performance.
“Wheels in the air” means the car’s front or rear wheels lift during the launch. That usually happens when the tires can’t grip enough and the power overwhelms traction.
“Smoking the tires” means the tires are spinning instead of gripping the road. That usually slows you down and can happen if you apply too much power too quickly.
A “test pass” is a practice run to see how the car launches and performs. If it doesn’t go right, you adjust before the next attempt.
Term
lifted coasted and then mashed the brakes
They’re describing how they drove: they let off the gas, rolled without power, then hit the brakes hard at the end. That kind of change can affect traction and what the tires/drivetrain do near the finish.
Term
dead on
In drag racing, “dead on” means you hit the exact target time the rules were asking for. You weren’t early or late—you landed right where you needed to.
Index racing is a type of drag race where everyone has a target time. The closer you get to your target (without breaking the rules), the better your chances.
Power management is how you control how much power the car is allowed to make and how it delivers it. It’s basically the system that helps the car stay controllable and not break when you’re pushing it.
“Data” here means the car’s recorded numbers from sensors. The point is to see what the car really did (like boost) compared to what it was supposed to do.
Term
electric gates
“Electric gates” are electronically controlled valves that help control how the turbo/supercharger builds pressure. If they don’t respond the way the tune expects, the boost can be off.
PID settings are the “tuning knobs” for an automated control system. They help the car’s computer make the boost (or another target) match what you asked for, smoothly instead of overshooting.
Duty cycle is how much the computer is telling a device to be active. A “hundred percent” duty cycle means it’s commanding it at full strength, which can cause boost control to go too far.
A Chevrolet Chevelle is a classic American muscle car. Here, they’re saying they had to remove some parts from it because the car was already giving them problems.
TurboSmart is a company that sells aftermarket parts for turbo setups. In this story, they reached out to TurboSmart to get the right parts for how their car is running.
FuelTech is a racing computer that controls how the engine runs. They’re saying that if a part inside that computer fails (“pops”), it can be extremely loud and can smell like something overheating.
A wheelie is when the front of the car lifts up during acceleration. It usually happens when the car has a lot of power and the tires can’t grip enough.
The Ford Mustang is a popular car made by Ford that’s built for driving enjoyment. It’s been around for many years, so you’ll see lots of different versions. People talk about it a lot because it’s easy to recognize and there are many ways to modify or customize it.
The Chevrolet Nova is an older Chevrolet car that many people like for classic performance. Owners often work on the engine and tune it to match the year they have. In the podcast, they’re talking about keeping or setting up specific Nova model years.
“Flicker the bulb” refers to briefly activating the starting lights (or staging/beam system) and then backing out or changing status. In drag-style starts, rules often penalize any attempt to “game” the light sequence, because it can affect reaction timing and fairness.
A turbo car has a device that packs more air into the engine. More air usually means more power, so the car can feel stronger than a similar non-turbo engine.
Qualifying is the part of a race weekend where drivers try to be as fast as possible to earn a good starting spot. It’s more about speed for the run than driving for the whole race.
Term
laser beams
They’re talking about the track using light beams to detect the cars for timing and starting. The beams help officials know exactly when the start happens.
Term
infrared beams
Infrared beams are invisible light used by sensors to “see” when a car is in the right spot. Tracks use them to make the timing and start detection more accurate.
A tune is the car’s computer settings for things like fuel and timing. “Cleaning up the tune” means adjusting it so the car runs better and makes more power.
The Nissan Maxima is a mid-size sedan, meaning it’s a car designed for normal daily driving with room for passengers. People sometimes talk about it because it feels more performance-focused than many typical sedans. In the podcast, they’re referencing a Maxima directly.
In a drag race, “momentum” is basically how fast the car is already moving. If one car gets up to speed earlier, it can look like it’s pulling ahead even if the other car catches up later.
Term
et
“ET” means elapsed time—how long it took to run the track. It’s the main timing number racers compare to see who was quicker.
Term
pulled back on him
“Pulled back on him” means the car that was behind started catching up. It’s about who gains or loses ground during different parts of the run.
In drag racing, “going red” means you start too soon—before the official start signal. Even if your car is quick, you can still lose because of the early start.
“Untested” means they haven’t had a chance to try the car/engine combination before the race. That’s risky because the setup might not work perfectly until it’s actually run.
In drag racing, “small tire” usually means the car is allowed to use narrower tires than other classes. Narrower tires can grip differently, so the car may launch less aggressively or need different tuning to run well.
The fuel system is everything that gets gas from the tank to the engine. On a high-power car, it has to be strong enough to supply enough fuel when you floor it.
E85 is a fuel blend with a lot of ethanol. It can help with high-performance setups, but it usually needs the car to burn more fuel than regular gas, so the tune and fuel system have to match.
“Wheel horsepower” is the power measured at the wheels on a dyno, after drivetrain losses. It’s a common metric in drag and tuning circles because it reflects what the car actually delivers to the ground.
A blower is a device that pushes extra air into the engine to make more power. If the fuel system isn’t ready, the engine can run out of fuel before it can use all that extra air.
The alternator makes electricity for the car and keeps the battery charged. If it can’t keep up—especially on a modified car—it can cause electrical problems.
“16 volt” means the car’s electrical system is higher voltage than the usual 12-volt. That can help power hungry setups, but the parts have to be designed to work with it.
A burnout is when you spin the tires on purpose to make them smoke/heat up. They’re describing doing one for fun and then joking about getting in trouble for it.
The Chevrolet Blazer is an SUV, meaning it’s a taller vehicle meant for everyday driving and carrying people or gear. Some owners change the exhaust to make it sound different. The podcast is talking about a Blazer that’s still in the process of being set up.
Methanol is a special racing fuel. They’re saying their truck has plenty of it, which usually means they’re set up for making more power than a typical street car.
Holley is a company that makes performance parts for cars, especially things related to fuel and engine tuning. If someone says they’re a “Holley guy,” they probably know how to set up and fix those parts.
The drive shaft is the rotating part that sends power from the gearbox to the wheels. If something about it or its sensor is wrong, the car can behave oddly.
A harmonic balancer is a front-of-engine part that helps stop the crankshaft from shaking too much. It’s there to keep the engine running more smoothly and protect other parts.
Shimming means adding thin metal pieces to move a part slightly into the right position. It’s often used to make sure things stay tight and don’t shift.
“15 pounds” here means the turbo is pushing about 15 psi of extra pressure into the engine. Racers use psi to talk about how aggressive the boost setting is.
“Points” are how a racing series keeps score across the season. Finishing well at each race earns points, and “leading the points” means you’re near the top overall.
The Dodge Charger is a performance-oriented car from Dodge. It’s designed to be quick and fun to drive, not just a basic commuter. People often modify them for more power, which is why it comes up in enthusiast conversations.

Yeah
All right episode 12 more on nation unfiltered
It's it's Tuesday. It's Tuesday, right?
Right on schedule just like always do just like I know that it's Tuesday. Yeah, are we doing a podcast? I don't know what day is it?
Does that deal off?
Touch on that later. That's that's freedom right there. That is
So
What a week or two since we well, I mean we do these every week every Tuesday, but but the last one was
Before OSS before outlaw syndicate in Brainerd. Yes, so we did one in the trailer
We got Sean's trailer all muddy. He was super excited about it
That's the only reason that I know and remember that we did it is because it was all muddy. Yeah, you definitely parked in a good spot
Yeah
Yeah, it definitely rained every night. Yeah
Yeah, so
We're post outlaw syndicate Brainerd and that was that was a good race, man
That was a that was a definite improvement on attendance over our first one at North Florida and North Florida was good
I thought you know improvement on everything. Yeah, there was a bunch of cars there. There's a bunch of cars
I
mean
Put out numbers out there
I don't care because that's what we've said and we hit our goal and my goal guys
And hitting all these little outlaw small tracks. We've said it in the past
We need a hundred cars on property and 2000 people
To the gates. Yeah, and that's what we had
Why is this thing listening to us?
It was typing typing everything you were saying. Yeah
No snitch ass
It deleted my notes
but
It was it was exactly what we wanted, you know, and and it's pretty cool because
Obviously the people that run that track we've talked about and they're really cool
She's probably not a fan of Phantoms right now because she's literally surely she wasn't serious. No, she wasn't I think she was playing but
Phantoms I mean, I meant that shit though
Yeah, Phantoms said something about all but she drives a dragster
Yeah, she cuts a good light and she's like you tell Phantoms that there's no difference in cutting the light
Why don't you race a door car? She said she said she has a door car, too
Oh, why she why why a door car or why a dragster over a door car?
So if there's no advantage, I mean, I would assume that
You don't think you don't think a 1900 pound pipe rack reacts quicker than a 3600 pound car sure, but you you
Probably have to adjust
Both of those, you know, yeah, like I would assume that she doesn't stage them both the same
Because obviously
Obviously cutting the light is tough guys throw that out there, but
It is tougher in a small tire car and it is tougher in the 55
Then it is something like blue that just as soon as you let go the button it moving it takes off
Yeah, so oh for the cars the same because
Let's be honest. I've said it in the past. I'm not a bracket racer and I never learned
That aspect of racing
No, there's there's more coming right there more coming
Okay, slowly. I've watched so many podcasts in there ain't one of them that has a blank wall
This is this is not crap. It's not crap. She doesn't mean that
So
But yes, a lot of people there the lady who who runs the track
She was awesome as far as handling everything that we're down. It ran very smooth
Like the whole race like it. Yeah. Yeah, it went smooth. It would be nice to have her
Yeah, y'all didn't y'all didn't make that that we're such a mess. I don't know like I let Carson handle that
We'll find out this weekend. I don't know
But I'm gonna be honest with you and I'm sorry if anybody from this track in rolling North Carolina is listening because I know
Seven Tim Dragway seven Tim Dragway. I know zero about this track. I don't know
I don't know anything about this track, but it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm guessing. It's the same small
You haven't seen it at all. Oh, no, is it look cool? I'm pretty excited
Okay, well then then I'll be happy because that's what I want. That's what I want
I want to go to all the small little little tracks, but
Before we move on from outlaw syndicate, we didn't talk a whole lot
We were just at Brainerd before the race last time we did a podcast
Well, and the well, so this was our second time to go to Brainerd
We didn't get to race at Brainerd the last time we were there because we broke them over the night before at the
Trap that we were at the end. Yeah. Yeah, so it was blowed blowed smooth
That was one of the ones where you take the oil pan off and just
Yeah, everything pistons rod
Everything is just all in the bottom of the pan. That's where that was at. There was zero fix in that car
So
The 55 did well it losing all the weight
Oh
That's gonna be cool
It's like a horseshoe right, uh-huh. I'm gonna suck turning my truck in there
Yeah
So losing all the weight in the 55 and making the power that it made
Regardless of what in my head and made before maybe it's strictly all the just the weight loss
But 240 pounds ain't no joke
240 pounds on something that
That's more than what I weigh right now. I'm gonna say it's like me like I got out of the passenger seat. Yeah, so
But the first pass that we go out
We we tried not to do anything I tried to leave on 17
Sorry tried to make a total of 17 pounds of boost because we kind of figured out collectively that it should run 530s on 17 pounds of boost
Well
And it probably still will it will we don't know that off of the 17 pounds of boost because it made 28 pounds of boost
nailed it
It was perfect almost so it did everything that we wanted it to do
It left exactly like it did before wheels in the air and I was like holy shit. Here we go and
honestly
The first pass we just overpowered everything gets smoked on as soon as you let go of the button
As soon as I let go of the button as smoked on I went back and I cut the boost in half
So and that's whenever I said I tried to make 17 pounds of boost. So anyways, I cut the boost in half. I
Still left on the same amount of boost but other than that whenever I let go of the button. I
Turned it way down so
So
It left on the second pass with the wheels in there and bear in mind
I only got two passes. I only got one test pass and we ruined that with just smoking the tires
Mm-hmm. So smoke the tires out of the hole
We ruined that pass. Okay
Wait, did I only get one test pass to after that we went right into oh man, I still missed that dude up, huh?
Yeah, no, yeah, you know, you be you went truck-on-truck crime and beat that guy
Yeah, and then after that it all went down for you. It was just
So I ended up letting go of the button
No idea why I lifted whenever I lifted but I driver I lifted it at come to find out
It was 452
Per the data I lifted coasted and then mashed the brakes at the end and I went a
Is that why there was a bunch of smoke at the end that fires up the year yes 530 with an O
I want a 530 with an O
We call that dead on dead on the index racing world
She told me that my light sucks. So I got beat by a five. I believe 534
Nick from my buddy Nick. Oh
Yeah, yeah, Nick literally told me that his drag. He said 34 35 something like that
So hey had to have ran close to that. I ran closer to the number. I just I
Went up man. He may have went so what 80 on the light. Yeah, she said it was and she said it was terrible
So did you did you hear what he ran?
Does she tell you what he ran? No, okay?
Well if his draggy said a 34 might so mine said a 35 on my draggy and it and I went a 31 on that pass
Okay, so he may have went pretty close both way. I mean dude. It was a close
Right, I know that I know it looked like a starting line
I stayed close with him and then at the end I mashed the brakes a little bit
But to run that
Guys, I'm not I'm not bragging because I got lucky and I went a 530 with an O
That's not what this story is about this story right here. It's about how bad ass 55
It's gonna be dumb because it's gonna be stupid if I just stayed in it. I don't have 480 on that pass
I mean, that's what I want to do though. I would just want to stay in it one time
But anyways upon and then look guys
We know my whole situation with tuning can I power management? I can I can't I can power management a little bit
I'm not saying that I can't I I've been real hard on myself in the past saying I'm not a tuner
Which I'm still not a tuner, but I can power management a little bit
If need be I can race all of my cars
a little bit
Especially the the street ish type cars your truck my 55
Hopefully Aiden Chevelle here pretty soon, which put that on the list. I'd like to talk about that a little bit, too
Okay, um, I
Could power management a little bit so I
Just kind of patting myself on the back man
I was like man look at this and then I found out I lifted it 450 into the run
That's a long ways back from the finish line ways back from the finish line
Yes, I had no idea that I lifted at half track
So that passed it so but then come to find out
The boost just did what the boost wanted to do didn't even do what I told it to do not even close the padding myself on the back
I had zero to do with it. All I did was let go of the button in the car turns out
That's and let go of the gas pedal getting you know, I did and hit the brakes. Yeah, but still I
Start looking at my data and
To be honest with you
I wasn't I wasn't probably gonna look at the data Phantom wanted to look at the data and then he said oh man
They made 28 pounds of boost and I went what I told it to make 17
The gates electric gates which for the record man Marty, I love the electric gates. This is not a Marty problem
Okay, no, this isn't us problem. This is an us problem a turbo smart problem
So whenever I talk about this here in a minute
Just know these electric gates work great when they work
for people that know how to control and also I
Won't get into that they work great for for certain situations all set up right and everything when it's all set up, right?
The 55 has been flawless. Well, obviously when we put that thing over on 16 volts
It has messed with what are they called the PID settings?
but yes the PID settings
it has messed with those and
Basically what the boost that the the boost did what I told it to do early and it rolls over like this
And then at some point the boost goes
It just pins the wastegate shut they go to a hundred percent duty cycle and they're just
Closed and I didn't do it
Yeah, just right just right before you lifted
So that's why you lifted you got scared you felt all that power
You know, and I'd really like to lower the whole thing down it doesn't drive that great to be honest. Yeah, and uh,
Obviously, he's not had a problem with it either that or ignorance is bliss
You know and we say that a lot around here. We're full of bliss. What you don't know. Don't know
It probably drives great to Aden. He's never locked
Ever driven I've never seen the front tire smoke whenever a let's go, you know
You just don't panic do you
I'm usually I'm usually upset. So I just don't get on the brad is letting
And then I get to the end. I'm like shit
He always let's go and he sees that another one like come on. Damn. Yeah, so
Whereas I don't do that because I have a good time driving the 55 win-lose doesn't matter
I I enjoy the 55 so and that's what we're here for at this outlaw syndicate. I
Can't stress that enough that we just have a good time out there. So
With that being said on the next pass
The next day Saturday, yes, I
Lifted way to her
Into that run I should have stayed in it a little on your test pass
We didn't we decided to leave it alone and not mess with
With them, but with that, you know, like I said, it's not turbo smarts fault
We have obviously had our issues with these and we've taken them off of everything
You took them off of your truck. We had taken them off of the fire dog before we got rid of it
we
Hadn't even tried a Chevelle and we have taken them off of that car gave us enough trouble without those
Yes, just I wasn't willing to fight it, but the the 55 has has
It's worked well enough up until now
But now like but now 30 pounds of boost in that car now is not gonna run 530s
And I don't want to run that much boost
I was kind of the point of having it so you don't have to beat it beat on it and you know to run 530 so
We still haven't done anything about it. I'm just gonna let it ride. We're just gonna let it ride
We may end up messing with it a little bit, but we also
hollered at turbo smart and got some regular gates for it
We already have the the onboard air in the back that shifts the car
At this point just tee off of that and run it to some some regular old CO2 gates and
Man, they just work I like
Put them on my truck. It does it does exempt. It does exactly what I tell it to from start to finish
It is you know, and you know me it meant your mechanical type. Yeah happens to those gates. I go
If something happens to mechanical gate, you know CO2 gate, you know, I tear that thing apart rebuild it
Yep, they're to die for a minute. Yeah, put a die in it, which you don't hardly ever have to do
No, the turbo smart I could do all that
when the
Driver on the fuel tech pops. It's scary. Ain't nobody fixing that. It's first off. It's very loud
It's very loud. It smells like electrical after that. Yeah, it smells like the things on fire. Yeah after that
There's no fix in that and normally it burns up the gate also
You know unless you're holding extras and actually know what the problem was
Yeah
Yeah
They're they're they seem to be and I and honestly, I don't think it's the gate
It seems like the driver is very finicky to the PID settings and if you get them just a little bit off
Yes, or just something that
We're not certified to deal with no so
You know something like this car I
Could put up with that like it whenever we had them on blue
One on blue because it was on the culp side
Well, they they weren't good on cars like that in my opinion because they're either open or close
Like you're not trying to make
Seven pounds of booze for a second and a half. It's as much as it'll make right now. Yes, so
So anyways, I don't really know how it's gonna go this weekend
So so what you do the button what you do is you let go of the button before the guy next to you
And you get out there and just I tried that on the last one
But unfortunately that cool little car that I raced what kind of car was that I don't wheelies or something, wasn't it?
The purple car or whatever it was. I think it was like a purple. I thought it was black
Yeah, it was a real deal. Anyway, all I know is that I looked over at him at one point
And he and his old helmet on and then he and rolled his window. Oh nice
I rolled the window down to you know after you hit your knuckles. Yeah, you gotta open the door
Yeah, otherwise it's cage. Yeah
but
That was definitely a cool race a and he got as soon as we left he was out on me and I never got close to
To catch it up and all he had to do was stay in front of me
But sometimes cars running well enough now that I could get out on some foals. Yep
Sometimes what you can do is just keep it and push them out
Well push them out or get in front of them and dump it right at the end and let them break out
That's what I should have done is I should have stayed in it. I should have never lifted if you're behind I
Don't know a whole lot about this, but if you're behind you should never lift
No, never
Even if he breaks out and you break out he broke out first. Yes, you still win. Yes, I should have never lifted
But
Yeah, I'm just figuring this stuff out. I'm not real great at it. It's man. It's it's kind of fun
I and I enjoy the 530 stuff probably because that's just what my truck runs. You know what I mean
So
No, it will but like I've got some good 530 tune ups for different conditions
Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff there. It's it's not just you know
There's a lot of mustangs, of course, but there's there's just a lot of variety. Yeah, and there was plenty of class
People there's close like 14 or 15 cars in the class. Mm-hmm
Happy with that and then finally there was some some people to give Scott a run for his money Scott still won
He did but but there was a couple of cars there that ran right there with them
Yeah, you know and Ryan's car was rolling. Yeah, so which Ryan's gonna have his again there
This weekend this coming up weekend when we'll be at Roland because
710 Dragway 710 Dragway
Roland, North Carolina
Outlaw syndicate
so
OSS
We're trying to get a bunch of people who are gonna be coming to
King of the South at Shady side. Yeah, it's crazy. I
Need to know how y'all made boost 12 mad that he's not coming to these races. Did we make him that I don't know
Why hasn't he came weird
The little brat stuff. I know it's weird, but they are not on I mean one of them was on top of our race
But yeah, like he's he you would think he'd be there this weekend
Said that he planned on coming to a couple of them and then he heard his motor
And then he just got it back together and you know, so it is a lot to stay gone that long
I did it it is and most of those people have real jobs. Yeah, and you know, we understand
It would be nice if some more people would show up, but it's part of it, man
You know, we understand that sometimes you can drive way way
closer, you know and
Have a chance at making the same amount of money
Yeah, no, I get it. So this is part of it. I think a lot of these races
This year are over on the East Coast. I think that we need to kind of slowly start
We definitely need a little bit closer to Oklahoma and go up from there
We definitely need some Texas some Oklahoma some Kansas. We need to be west of the Mississippi for sure
Yes, yes for sure. However, that needs to happen wherever that lands. We've actually had some tracks reach out to us
that are
More towards the Midwest and I believe that this outlaw syndicate is just gonna grow
That's all it's gonna do is grow and we're gonna continue to do it
Yep, as long as people keep showing up and having a good time, then I don't see any reason to not do it
Finnegan ended up showing up. That was really cool
He did he just takes me earlier and asked me if I figured out what was wrong with my truck
I I watched his video this week. Yeah
Showed me and you racing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, when you when you beat me
Treat me. He treat me. I wasn't 60-footed me and then beat me to the strike. I did it happened
So but he put all that in his video. That's cool. And it was pretty cool
So he showed some of the fast small-tire stuff. Well, that was after we got to go be on his badass boat
Did you just break his chair?
That will happen
You better learn carpentry you better fix that whatever we get done you better fix that
She'll never notice
I
Just folded it into metal and I just folded that thing. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't fall. They're pretty flimsy. Yeah, but
But yeah, I know it was really cool for him to show up and I ended up going
There's no fix than that
No, don't do that
Just put it over there and then act like somebody else did it. Yeah
What did you do next time Mallory comes in and falls out of it. Yeah, what'd you do? Yeah
But
Thanks to the guy who hooks us up with these chairs for sure
So
after that race we
hauled ass home and
Then luckily our race with blue this past weekend was close to home
So we went up to Tulsa for the throwdown in teatown and that's it's a man
It's always a good time up there, but it always rains, dude
And our parking spot is a lake when it rains
There was that it's a good spot right up until it rains and then after that
It is the worst spot in the place eight inches of water standing in our pit
If you were in the trailer, you were stuck in the trailer
If if you were under the awning you were stuck in the awning unless you wanted to get real wet
And then after that they have to come over every time and snake it
uh-huh
Like the drain like the whole parking lot drains to our pit, but the drains always clogged up. Yes
So we were smart enough this year though instead like last year
We picked everything up and even the mat remember last year the mat was floating on top of all that eight inches of water
Yep, so
we uh
We got there on Thursday and remember we were we're gonna test we're gonna get there on Thursday
So I got up at seven o'clock in the morning left my house at
nine
Yeah nine stopped fueled up
washed the Pete
By the time I got there it was noon. Mm-hmm by the time we set up it was two o'clock everybody said well
Testing's over at three
There's no sense in paying
$350 to test nope for one pass because that's all we were gonna get we'll come and find out they quit testing at four
Yeah, we probably could have got one off, but we could have got one possibly two off. Yeah, but
There wasn't any sense in it, you know, but then then that will ring mine. I made it
Yeah, maybe in the one pass too many could have been so so then
Brandon ended up hollering at me and was like, hey, I can come and I was like get here man
Like that's a no-brainer in my opinion. Yeah, well, there was a big radial race that that he was gonna be at with a car
Actually, he was gonna be a hi char a yes, and then that didn't work out
So then he was gonna go to a radial race where his third option basically that's okay, which whatever that's all right
So so then the radial thing didn't pan out either and
Man he showed up
We've said this in the past we always like our chances whenever Brandon is on property and
So we ended up testing Friday morning and we made what how many how many test passes we made
Three past three test passes
Three and then we were happy with the car
Yes
And then we're supposed to qualify that night supposed to qualify we're supposed to have two qualifiers
well
our qualifier one was at six o'clock, which is
Right at six o'clock is when it was supposed to start raining
We could have started if we could have started early when at five and got the first qualifier
We probably we probably could have got some in but it ended up raining so hard and so much in
30 minutes 45 minutes
Yeah, but then it just kept on rain it did it has kept on like even whenever a couple it ran it up rain for a couple hours
It up rain until nine ish I think probably so they called it like right then they said we're done and we'll get it all in in one day
So one long
Very very long day. So we ended up being in the lanes
For our first qualifier what at 10
Yeah, 10 30 10 45 somewhere in there supposed to be 10 15 and it was you know pushed just a little bit
It was foggy as hell foggy that morning because everybody else was supposed to start racing at nine to get some heat in the track
And get a couple of the classes going but I don't think anybody actually started racing till 10
so
we go up there for our first qualifier and
It's still a little bit cool out and the track was decent
I mean, I was yeah for Tulsa. It was pretty good. Yeah
Yeah, it was it was we go up there and we lay down and we're kind of back at the pack a little bit
Yeah, I know we were next to the last pair. I think next to the last pair
So we watched Cali Mills go and she went to 65. I was thinking oh man
I mean nice to go at 65 right now. Mm-hmm. And I mean
You know me. I'm always going sure would be nice to go 59 right now always like that's that's just
That's the mindset that I have 50s are good real good 50s are good, man. What did you do 59? You know, so in my mind
65 right then
That'd be solid. So what did we go in testing?
63 or 64 64 the four 64 that was that was the quickest and testing it was
So then I'm thinking to myself
Suns out
It's not cold it was not the air was terrible by then it's 106 air
106 air so I'm going man
Cali comes out here lays down a 65 first first qualifier, which she does that that must be her first
Like like we used to have our 71 72 tune up for the Nova
She's got that 65 and that's what they're gonna go first pass out like she didn't test or anything
That was her first pass down the track first pass off off the off the ramps. It was good
Ryan went out there and
Pedaled at one time and still in a 68 or 69. Yeah, one of those somewhere in there something like a 60 something
So they're number one and number two qualifier
and then
Robin Roberts
Go 71 something like that because he lifted very early somebody told me I didn't see it
Just after 30 well somebody told me he was going towards the wall
Yeah, so he lifted and only went like what 170 something. Yeah, and when a 71 or 72
Which would have put him? I don't know. There was a couple of people that went 71
So then we come up and laid down a 63
With a one 63 with a one and that was probably my fault because
But they literally told us we can't flicker the bulb. Yeah against Baron that I did that. Yes. Yes, okay
So Baron comes up there and he is a turbo car
Raggedy-ass turbo raggedy-ass turbo car. So anyways, I'm thinking
Nothing he can do is gonna I'm not gonna let anything that he does affect me. This is qualifying
I'm not worried about it. They we already had a big drivers meeting and they said do not flicker the bulb
Yep, get it in the beams. Okay, so put it in the beans. We we do not have it. What was it?
Red no not infrared. Oh, what were the old beans because they're laser lasers laser beams
Oh, I thought they were laser beams before what are not? Oh, I don't know what they were infrared
Beams or something. I don't know. So they said they told us on the drivers meeting
If you flicker the bulb, it's gonna send you red once you flicker it
And I'm sure that as soon as he flips it on
Or turns on the auto start you come back out from flickering it and
It goes red on you. That's what happens if you back out once both cars have all four bulbs lit
Then your
Tree automatically goes red. Well, that's the same situation that's happening here
so
That kind of messed with me all weekend because that's all I want to do is flicker the bulbs
Like in a perfect world. That's what happens and
Baron did it with a turbo car
Literally flickered the bulbs with a turbo car and so I went rip just for that just a split second
And then I was like, no, I'm not doing it, you know
And then next thing I know it turned him red my light turned green and I went, huh, you know
And then I read and then I let go
So and we went up there and we went to 63 with the one so
Number one qualifier right right there. So then
We come back up for our second qualifier. Well, it's a lot hotter now. It's hot. There's 130 degree track. Yes
Yes, they really needed to scrape the track. It was
Pretty crazy middle of the track just wasn't there and we went out there and kicked the tires just like pretty much everybody else did
Yeah, nobody went down besides Keith. Keith was the only car that went down without pedaling it
Just because the middle of the track wasn't there. We still went really fast to the 60 foot
What do we go 9 9 19 or
Low 20s. Yeah, something like that. Yeah
So that right there tells me that we could still go fast on it. Yeah, uh, we just
We haven't yet probably should have pulled it back a little bit. Well, and the problem was
And this is what brandon explained to me was
I'm not going faster. I'm cleaning the tune up which
Is giving more power to the car
Bob's your uncle it's going faster. So he was still
pulling it back
But the amount of fuel that he was cleaning up
Was making the car faster. So
We ended up kicking the tires
Twice. Yeah, because we had three qualifiers our last two qualifiers
We ended up kicking the tires and we weren't worried about it because
In the heat of the day like when we were going
We weren't worried about somebody taking the number one qualifier from us and if need need be we could have
Went down. Oh, yeah. No, he could have went to 66 67
Pretty easy. I feel like yeah
so
Once we got number one qualifier
The way that they do it at midwest is a little bit different and since there was 14 cars
They put two buys
16 car ladder guys, they put two buys on whoever's number one's
qualifier side of the bracket
So
The two buys get each other that would mean number one qualifier wins first round. He gets a buy
Well, number one qualifier, which was us
Got Todd Martin. Todd Martin was having a lot of problems
And his guys ended up coming over to me and said, hey, man, we're not gonna make the call
And I was like, oh, okay. So in turn that gave us
Competition buy
Without him being there and then once we got the competition by second round we got a buy
I don't even care
Nope
Take them any way we can get them. We put ourselves in that situation to get
That second round buy the first round by the competition by that was just luck
You know
Or how are you looking? I mean, however you want to look at it. Well, we'll take we'll take the wind lights any way they come
That's right. So then
We ended up having to race bob glenn and and I'll be honest with you man. I was nervous bob cuts killer lights
He does his cars fast a lot fat. He's he has really picked it up from last year even
The end of last year they made some pretty good strides with that car that he started going a lot faster
Yeah, and then he went to winter series
I believe he and he laid down some good numbers there too. Yes, he did so
And he's he's a driver like he's a driver. He will drive that car. He's not like some of those guys where if it wiggles
He's out of it. He's gonna drive. I've seen him drive that thing up against the wall
Yes, yes, and that is a beautiful car. It is. He don't get two shits about it. And I love it. Hey
That's where that's the way it's gotta be, you know, so
um
So anyways bob cuts good lights
He went 006 around before he raced you. Yes, he did. I made sure I let you know that
Damn, you know, so I go up against him
And yes, he he treated me. He did he went o 20 to my o 31. Yep
Look o 31 man, I'll take it. It's not bad. That's not bad. I will take it not bad
um
And so then we ended up getting ryan in the finals
and
By then we kind of knew that we had hurt
Number one and man, it's it's starting to smoke quite a bit just chugging just chugging along so
We go up. I do my burnout. I'm backing up and the whole time i'm backing up. I'm just
I'm trying not to look it's not happening and it's just
Right here in my face, man
And just smelling like maxima 60
Yes, so
We knew we knew that
We probably got that Brandon went into the tune and fixed a lot of stuff that we didn't have right
And now he's happy with it. Yeah, so
And and we we made a decision like
Do we fix that hole or do we leave it alone and make it through this race and
I said man, it's gonna make it through this race. We'll we'll be fine and I got Brandon's okay on that
Because if it seemed like a real okay, too, because sometimes
You know, he'd be like
No, he even said I said, what do you think about that? You know, and he goes, oh, yeah, no, it'll be all right
We'll make it today. Yeah, he said but after today and I was like, oh, yeah, no, we'll fix it before the next race
Because right before the next race because it's bad real bad. So
We go up and I'm thinking
I am prepared to cut a light against Ryan, you know, I'm I'm focused I'm ready
and
When did you stop thinking about that?
Right about the time I went in right about the time I went in so
A lot of times
You guys have seen us and we will light the top bulb and as soon as they light their top bulb will poop
You know, or if they like their top bulb first, then we'll poop poop. Yeah, and light them both. Well
I know that Ryan does that just like I do that
So I thought I'm gonna light the first one
See what he does. Uh-huh, you know and sure enough he poop poop and then I went
And then I just I dude I was cool calm collected. I was ready. Yeah ready
I pull in and then I don't know what happened
Blacked out
Blacked out what happened. I just let go of the button and I thought in my head. I cut a decent light
I cut it and look don't don't get me wrong. I've cut way worse
Way worse, but I went up
Allegedly, I went to 060 something
I never still I still never saw anything. It never came above on the app. Yeah, I got it. Oh really? Yeah, okay
So I cut a 060
068
That's a 070
Uh, did we put anything in the box? Yeah, okay
So we put some in the box that makes me feel better just because
Man, honestly, I felt like I did okay on the tree, but I had also went
006 red
You yeah, you went 006 red. I And then what did I go after that?
That's when you went to 031 against bob. Okay
So you went 006 red on our comp on our second buy, but I cut a pretty good light
Before that one right on the other one that we smoked the tires. Yes
Yeah, uh, the one we're supposed to race Todd
So I cut a couple of decent lights. Oh, yeah. No, you went trip zip on one. Oh, yeah, I went trip zip
Yeah on our that's right
yeah
So anyways after that trip zip
because
I went 006 red and then trip zip, correct
Yes, okay. I thought so
After that you kind of go. Okay. It's nighttime
Obviously everybody says that you cut better lights at night
Yes, I hear that's fact. It's fact. Okay. Well, that's what happened
I
I went 006 red
Because the sun was down and then I went trip zip and then we said damn
Let's put something in the box. So we put a little delay in the box
And then I cut a 068, you know, what are you gonna do?
Uh, but I literally watched Ryan start driving away from me
and it's like
the whole time
I don't think I'm paying attention or anything to to what I'm doing in the car as far as racing or anything
I just all I can see is him driving away from me. Yeah, and I went. Oh my god
You know, yeah, and then I see him come over and I mean he kind of went into my lane
Yeah, you know, that's what I funny because I heard somebody say and then you kind of went around him
No, I didn't I went straight. Yeah, I did not I didn't make a move. I didn't make anything
You know, I went straight to the stripe is where I went and and the car I was in a little bit deep because
I was the second one to go in so and the whole don't flicker the bulbs had me messed up all weekend
I mean, it's kind of weird for sure. Like
Like you said, that's that's what you try to do as shallow as possible
And then you got to go up there and you got to think, okay, I can't do this instead of just doing your job. Yeah
It's just kind of weird man, you know, Callie went red right behind you. So you went 006 red and she went 005 red
Yeah, but luckily I was on a buy run
Yes, so it did not matter to me. It did matter to her
Yeah, find that
She went like 002
005
Yeah, something I think I was was I oh six or was I you were oh six then she was oh five red something like that
so so anyways
I saw my win light come on and I saw uh 362 with a one
362 come up with a one I believe. Yeah
The car actually picked up
From the the past before the drive shaft and the g was up the drive shaft and the g was up
I actually had went in a lot deeper
It took a couple of numbers away from us
But wind lights are the only phantom once told me when lights are the only thing that matters. It is elimination. It is so facts
Unless you're worried about unless you're racing for lane choice
Yeah
I which we had all weekend all weekend
So we went the fastest of every round
Except first round because we smoked the tires
Oh, that's right. Yeah, but but after that the buy run. Yeah. Yeah. Yes
um
So I even came over the radio and and I told phantom I said look man
I don't know what was happening, but he drove out of my life
And phantom goes well, I mean he went red
I had no idea that he went red. Yeah, no idea that he went red. Hey, and it was very close
What was it like a o 13 red or something o 13 o 13
Yeah, so I mean think about have you watched a pecker video from the you know the incident at nha against scott
Oh about him just driving away even though I went faster. Yeah, it's crazy. He already had that momentum. It's crazy
Yes, he already had the momentum. Yeah
Yep
Even though my et was faster. Yeah. Yeah, I know it's crazy because you never stop the pull
Because of where he's at in the run versus he will always look like he's going faster than I would you would have had to
Win a 50 something to his 68 to look like it pulled back on him. Yes
So but anyways, that's you know, that's part of it
Uh, sometimes you go red
I mean if you're if you're trying and doing everything you can in there, it's gonna happen sometimes, you know
But he was like
He was on the light come eliminations like I was I was watching his lights during testing and everything
I was like, oh man, he better get a shit together
And then all of a sudden 007
Oh 13 and then red. Yeah
But uh
The car was fast, but even if he wouldn't have went red
He came over into my lane. Yep. So
uh
It was fast early though, it was fast early. There's no doubt like he had that thing rolling
so
So so the internet is kind of buzzing
Like that's the first time, you know, because you've got you guys talk about it all the time meeting in the finals
You can't do that because you guys suck at drawing. He draw each other first round. Yes. Well, this isn't the first time
You guys have met in the finals. So this is not even the second time. This is the third time
so the very last mpk race ever
in uh, Washington. Yep
It spoke in met met Ryan in the finals. We got the win
Yep
The next weekend we went to mission and raced in that pro moderates and raced in that pro moderate qualified number one and number two
At a pro moderates with steel body cars. Yep
Met in the finals side by side 65 365s, but Sean went red that time. Yeah
006 red, I believe it's something like that and it was close. So so now
You know, this is the third time with the pro mods
Um, and Ryan goes red. So you guys you guys are definitely like
Trying harder probably to beat each other than everyone else somebody that they were like, you know
Hey go beat him. I said, I promise you
I want to be him. Yeah worse if not, you know, if not worse than anybody else on the property. Yep. This is part of it
Yep, so
No, it was cool though. Um
Man, I bet I bet there's just some mad people though that oh, yeah
There's already mad people at midwest guys that didn't you know, wasn't happy that we were even there last year
And now you brought one of your buddy with me, you know, so I bet they're like
Not only is Sean gonna be at all these races this year now. He's bringing his damn buddy with him. Yeah, so
Yeah part of it, man
As you know as well as I do
Ryan's gonna be tough all year. Well, yeah
Ryan Ryan's tough and and whatever car he climbs in so
Um, but still it was 123 qualifiers
I was number one. Callie was number two. Ryan was number three
And if robin would have stayed in it, yeah
He would have been number four. Yeah
No, it's it's
I don't know. It's just cool like
I guess because of the stigma of
The the street outlaws, you know, you guys aren't real racers or whatever
So it's cool to see the people that were
involved in it and and
Actually liked being at the at the street outlaw stuff
Going and doing well in the promo and stuff like when Callie's racing iHRA
I know we're all cheering for her and hoping she does good and and stuff like that
So it's it's cool whenever we're all on the same property to
Be front runners absolutely
Absolutely, you know, and I think that now that it's the second year
Every everybody was really cool at the race. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
So, you know, I did see some uh some upset people on the starting line though
And I just think we didn't do that at this organization
Thought we were professionals here
There were some things that happened on the starting line and a couple of crews that were upset
Yeah, it wasn't us though. It was not us. We just keep to ourselves never cause but how many times we said it happens
It happens. It's not just us. Yeah, it's not just the fake drama that we bring
Like there were some mad people on the starting line. Man, they were yelling screaming in starter's face and yeah
Wasn't us though. I was
So
Yeah, no it all in all it was a good weekend
Aside from the couple hours of rain that ruined friday. It was a good weekend. There were quite a few people there
You know a lot of people in the stands
After the race this coming up weekend outlaw syndicate race at 7 10 dragway enrolling north carolina. That's right
We got one weekend off because of the king of the south which
unfortunately
We will not be there
No, we're we're on the list. We're We have paid entry and everything but guys
We don't have the motor back for blue yet
with that being said the motor for
The
og is in blue
Well
However, you want to look at it. Yeah a motor for the og is actually in the mpk the formerly mpk car
Which is now the nhra car
And then the motor for that car is in blue and we do not have blues motor yet
And so we we haven't tested. Yeah, could we pull it out and and uh
Shoot going it in there real quick. Absolutely. Oh, yeah. We're untested. We don't have any time to test
Like i'm not going to the baddest small tire race in the country
Half cocked. Yeah
We're gonna be ready and we're gonna we're gonna go to win
I don't think that I mean with this sucks to say man, but we can't go win that race right now
No, man, there there's some there's some hitters out there that I know is going to be there
I mean all those guys that went threes at florida this winter
Everyone of them is going to be there. Every one of them. You know what? We haven't done. Yeah, I went teens. Yeah
We're still three tenths off the field guys. Yeah. Yeah. No, we haven't ever sprayed the car
So we could pick up a lot in there and can we run threes? Absolutely. Have we done it? No
We haven't no we got the same stuff all those other guys do you know, so
Uh, unfortunately, that's just not gonna happen right now. So what we will get to do is come home
fix blue
Have that weekend to fix blue and then the next week we go race blue again at uh us 131 in martin michigan
Yes, and that is going to be a fast race. There's gonna be a bunch of people there. So it's a it's a combined race
It's a radial race that donald long and
Proline put put on
Mixed together with keith haney's midwest drag racing series with all the pro mods and all of keith's classes
So not to mention that track is just stellar. The weather is always good there. Yep. So, um
I feel like we're definitely going 50s there
And brennan will be there. So yeah, yeah, brennan will already be on property. So
That goes a long ways. Yep. So
um
So yes, it does suck, but we're not going to be getting king of the south
No
It uh
It is what it is though, man
It honestly, it'll be nice to come home and get a little rest
Like truthfully like I get it everybody else is out there doing it too, but there's no doubt
At rest the rest will be nice. I don't know that everybody else is out there doing it too. Yeah, like we're
Yeah, we're eight weeks on the road man. Yeah, so
Uh, but with that being said we did get adans
Burnout blazer fired up. We did
so and it uh
We'll still fire up. It will right now. It's good to go right now. So
Uh next week whenever we are at home, we're not just gonna come home. You guys know we're not. Yeah, maybe for a day
I'm not I don't feel like I need to say this, but we're not coming home just so that we could chill. Yeah
I'm gonna mow my yard. We've got lots of things that to do next week whenever we're at home and one of them is
getting adans
Uh blazer tuned
And then hopefully
Going to go test it a little rip that thing somewhere rip it around a little bit and we're going to rip around the old ppv too
Oh, yeah, I know it still runs ppv runs and uh, we need to
Fix a little bit with it and get it tuned also the fuel system shipping from detours tomorrow for that thing
so
There's that it's it's pretty easy fix. What's wrong with it guys is there's just not enough fuel pump to run it
So we are going to pull the tank out
You know get all that old 91 out of it put some old e85 in it. They said this system
They're sending us is good for 1200 wheel horsepower
Wow do with that information what you will
You'll run out of blower before you run out of fuel system. I need you to if you're going to
Ship something off. I need you to ship that to mechman
The the burnt up alternator. I want to have a spare
To have a spare. It'd be nice to have them make that one a 16
boat, I'm sorry and then 14
Just so it'll be a 16 volt system
Yes
Doesn't so that it'll charge at 16 volts without having to have the without having to have that and if we needed to
We could put that diode in it and make it 18. Yeah
We just blow all the lights out of that deal. Yeah
So and that what you used to do on the nova, you know, yep
so
That'll be a good time but
Obviously this weekend is ls fest and adin is headed that way. So we have
We got some
We've got a lot going on right now
I'm going one way phantom's going another way and adin is going an opposite way
adin has
The duly the street trailer the burnout truck that he done pulled exhaust off of again because sounds great his
His blazer is not ready yet. So ls fest is here
So he's taking the burnout truck
Good thing we didn't paint that deal yet. I know dad literally asked me if he could pull the bed off of and take it
To the house and start
Doing it. I was like, no not yet
so
He's got he's equipped with plenty of methanol
Uh a running truck that I drove around last night. Even did a little burnout for the kids at uh
Riley's on the errands video. Did you see it? Yeah
Uh
I mean look they came out and said hey do a burnout
Turn the tire a little bit. You know somebody says do a burnout. You do a dad gum burnout
She goes, what if you got pulled over? I said this is here. Here's what would happen wouldn't be the first time
I said worth it. Even if I got a ticket, it would be worth it. You know why because
I'm never gonna even
In a couple years from now never gonna miss that money for that ticket
But those kids will remember that burnout that I did forever. Oh, yeah
Yeah, remember that old dude that pulled out that's right squealing the tires. That's right
So worth it to me, but uh
He's got eight tires eight tires couple belts
Plenty of belts. Yes
He probably has
All his safety equipment. Yeah, yeah, you know
So i'm honestly more worried about him
Having my duly and my street trailer and my golf cart
That's a bad things can happen at things at places like ls fest on golf with no adult supervision
So uh him and dalton and nick they're all going and
I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah
nick will look after him as far as
If anything goes wrong with the truck. Yeah, if there's any holly issues like we had at vegas nick will be able to troubleshoot it
Yeah, better than we can anyways. Yeah
Nick is a holly guy
Nick is a
Everything but fuel tech guy. He isn't everything but fuel tech. It's weird
It's really good with hp tuners really good with holly. Yep
so
As long as they're not doing anything stupid like wheelies on the golf cart and stuff then
I you know, I can overlook a whole lot of stuff because I've done a lot of dumb shit, but
Don't tear up my golf cart by doing wheelies
Get that like you did your mom's chair
Mm-hmm
so
so
On the topic of anes vehicles
We also dropped off his chaville with daddy. Dave. We did so dave's been around and he has
I mean he's been doing some work for some people. So I told him I said look man, obviously this is never gonna get done
Here and here's why because I don't want to work on it
Uh, it's always something with that car. I think the car is going to be fine
But literally we fired it up. It's ready
It just needed a few little things finished up like
By the way, also we took him that sensor the drive shaft call. Oh, yeah, I did come in. I'm going to tell you that
Okay, uh, he's obviously got it finished a little bit of wiring. Uh, I wanted him to swap out the
About harmonic balancer on it
It's just that's just a me thing guys. I just I just wanted it done. Uh
Now he's got to redo the
Alternator bracket. He said he's just gonna make something off the frame. Yeah, it's a perfect
Yeah, old school stuff because it needs to be
Shimmed out further which you know you shim that thing out further is gonna start moving around and it's not gonna stay on there
So he's gonna make a bracket for that. He's just gonna get everything else going
We plumbed all the the waste gates and everything he's got to put a scavenge pump on it
That's one of the biggest things that he's got to do. We fired it up and the turbos were just
So the the oil everywhere the drains, you know, they kind of went down and they went up and then back down and so
it
Long before short it needed a scavenge pumps to
To get the oil back into the pan. So so put a scavenge pump on it
It's it's not a lot scavenge pump finish up the boost controller drive shaft sensor
The balancer
Still waiting on a drive shaft still waiting on the drive shaft remember it shipped out. That's what he told you
I remember
so
other than that
It's gonna be close and the stuff that that dave will finish up on that car
Let's just be honest, man. It'll be better than what I do
Yeah, especially
Not that I don't have the ability to do it right guys
I don't have the want to do it right. You know, I should and I should you know, because that's what we're gonna be putting Aiden in
Actually, I'm probably gonna
Probably gonna dial that deal in for him
What they did to your family you're lucky to make it out alive streaming on peacock
These men are going to come after me taking them out. It's my only chance
Put a bullet in her head
From the co-creator of ozark looks like a family was running drugs
Execution stop killing it's rare for the keys and it leads on who they might have been running for the cartel killed my family
I'm gonna kill them all of them. MIA streaming now only our peacock
I heard I was making the first passes on that deal. I made the last one in it. Yeah, you did and how'd that go?
That was like a year ago. You got a lot of new stuff
New transmission new driveshaft new fuel tank figured out a lot of stuff on a 640 pass
So
Well, we still got to figure out if uh, the whole
First gear is going to work in that thing and everything because uh, we put the two speed out of the og and we're gonna have to
Leave on 15 pounds and then kill all the boost out of it to run 5 30s
Yeah, yeah, it'll leave on 15 pounds and just 15 pounds across 15 pounds because it's gonna be lighter than the 55
It should run better than the 55 honestly
So we'll get it tuned and then we'll take it to a track and I'm telling y'all right now

About this episode
Outlaw Syndicate gets a full recap, including hitting attendance targets at Brainerd and what it takes to keep momentum. The conversation then dives into drag-racing execution: cutting lights, staging “dead on,” index strategy, and why boost and traction changes matter. They also compare commanded vs actual boost, explain wastegate/electrical-control failures, and talk tuning, gates, and CO2/onboard-air setups. Between race-day logistics and engine/fuel/electrical upgrades, the hosts end with what’s next and whether they’re ready to win.
