They autocross all of their cars and trucks they can get running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFg3abe8NF4

They accidentally built a monster out of that C4. I want one. Thing looks terrifying in person though. I remember there was a huge crack in the passenger side floor pan.

I'm amazed the Ranchero has lasted as long as it has.

Definitely nailed it this episode. A lot more cars beat the Rio this time around than the last attempt. Granted, as Finnegan said, it's funny that they are bragging about beating a Kia Rio when they are driving stuff like a Hellcat Charger. I think the Crop Duster may win for the new best-sounding exhaust.

My only grip with them autocrossing is their use of cell phones as timers. Still looks like a blast and I'm slightly jealous.

Even with the beat stock 302 in the ranchero i still want it. The mazda was hilarious.

What's funny is watching Finnegan's new videos. "I'm going to do a burnout in everything I have that runs"

And it cuts to him trying to do a brake stand in his golf cart.

I watched this last night. Totally unscientific but still entertaining.

In reply to Hungary Bill:

It was #44, 42 minutes long. Also the first one to drop on MOD before Youtube. I'm looking forward to the next episode because I believe it's going to be Bob getting a rear mounted 454 and a V drive.

Just watched this during lunch. Fun episode, they don't appear to be very good drivers (might just be the editing) and it'd be interesting how the cars would do if it was a properly timed, scored, and driven autocross.

Instead of a Kia a Miata would have been a bit more of a legit benchmark.....

Freiburger has more 200+ records in LSR than probably any other living person. Maxton, El Mirage, Bonneville, the guy's done it all. He's also a legit hot shoe drag racing and 4-wheeling. Done enough road course stuff to be dangerous, too.

That said, they're berkeleying off in a parking lot in flip flops with cell phone timers. Not exactly their "A-Game", and that's why Roadkill is great.

The LSR Roadkill was about as scienced as it gets. The rest is just Berking off. That's how most of us operate.

That thing sounded absolutely vicious!!!

Really fun episode. Great to see them beating the bag out of such varied builds.

The Draguar was a riot.

If you could somehow combine the rawness of the the Vettecart with the sound of the Cropduster...

For a long while Freiburger held the title of World's Fastest Camaro in the So-Al Racing Camaro at 261mph.

Finnegan is a pretty accomplished guy too. When he was young he built a couple of mini-trucks that were all over the covers of magazines. And he held some class records with his boats as well.

I don't know, the Vette Cart sounds pretty good now.
