Eventually they are going to have 1st release on their new MotorTrend on Demand video channel.  Then after 1 month it will come to YouTube for FREE still.  They just haven't started yet.

Yes it is BS about the race and not being able to use them by name.

You can see my fat head and fedora in a few scenes, and then my Challenger pops up in most of the race aerial videos.

Here are my pictures from Roadkill Nights.... some taken a little... lets say under the radar.

Still free on YouTube. 

What can you tell me about the car in this pic. Hopefully the link worked. It's that white drag pack challenger

So gas monkey should air this stuff on their show soon. Hopefully. Wonder if they will admit to cheating. Lol

Pretty cool they gave away a hellcat drivetrain. Wonder if the winner knows how to use it.

The car in the pic is the new 2015 Drag Pack Challenger demo car.

Yeah, should be interesting!

Another great episode.
After all the build up though, I thought they could have punched out more than just 26 minutes.
As dukem said, more of the actual swap would have been good viewing.
Looking forward to them swapping back those taillights and getting Mayhem out on the dirt.
Cheers Ryan.

I don't see the Mayhem getting any faster on the dirt/gravel with that Hellcat motor. 

The car had more power than it could use on that course last time, with just the raggedy motorhome 440 and one functioning gear.  Now they've added several hundred more pounds worth of horsepower & gears. 

The car really needs less curb weight & more tire to get more speed on the gravel. 


But faster lap times on the gravel isn't necessarily their goal.  They seem more interested in just having fun with it.

Neither do I.

That's what I look forward to seeing.
If it's anything like episode 32, it'll be awesome.

Well it might be a while, depending upon how they roll out the episodes from the Roadkill Takes America Tour.

But because of the damage to the LCA during Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday... The General Mayhem did not really do anything until nearly the end.



But yeah, the car needs better traction, a transmission that works and some other odds and ends WAY before horsepower to be faster at Dirtfish.

Tonight is the fast and loud episode when they get the challenge to drag hellcat cars.

Luke

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

That was an awesome day.....

Can't wait to see what the Monkeys say about us.

[Trulyvintage]

I have always liked the Monkeys

Aaron driving at that " track " at night sealed it for me

He didn't have to do it - he doesn't need the money or fame.

He IS a car guy ...

I went back and watched the roadkill episode. Why did they keep hitting the rev limiter between shifts? Couldn't they tune that out? Lower the shift point or raise the rev limiter? I bet it was pulling a bunch of timing when they did that.

[BrianShaughnessy]

Just an FYI...   reality TV shenanigans from last nights Fast & Loud.

The Travers stakes that 'Texas Red' ran in against 'American Pharoah' at Saratoga, NY was held on Aug 29.

Texas Red did win the Jim Dandy stakes on Aug 1 at Saratoga.   American Pharoah won the Haskell in NJ on Aug 2.

Roadkill Night was Aug 12.

Creative storytelling.

Agree, and when he drove pikes peak, he got real emotional and it truly showed how much of a car guy he was, IMO.

Shave the stupid beard. It stands out like a hard-on in a nudists colony. Car guy? Sure but why look like a cast member of some Moonshiner TV show ?
The Roadkill guys are more my style. Frieberger is more of a Mopar guy than you'll find in all of the Ass Monkey crew. Ass Monkey is also sponsored by Dodge but you can tell that they are not as enthusiastic about it.
