(ANNOUNCER)>> FROM FUEL
SYSTEM PLUMBING TO BUDGET WHEEL PAINTING, HORSEPOWER'S
GOT COOL TECH COMING UP. BUT FIRST THE HIGH SPEED
CHALLENGE OF STANDING MILE RUNS FOR THE RUSH AND
FOR THE RECORD BOOK.
(JOE)>> DRAG RACING IS ALL ABOUT LAUNCHING HARD AND
BEATING THE OTHER GUY TO THE FINISH LINE. NOW OUT HERE IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TOP SPEED ON 5,280 FEET OF CONCRETE. WELCOME TO THE TEXAS MILE.
(SHARON)>> NO SPEED LIMITS, NO TICKETS, NO TRIPS TO JAIL, AND ACTUALLY HAVE REAL BRAGGING RIGHTS.
(JOE)>> MEET SHARON AND JAY MATUS.
(JAY)>> CAR 143, CAR 143.
(JOE)>> A RACING COUPLE WHO LANDED A COOL IDEA FOR THIS OLD MILITARY AIR STRIP. THAT WAS 2002, NOW THEY STAGE TWO TEXAS MILE EVENTS ANNUALLY, WHERE FOR A SMALL ENTRY FEE YOU CAN ENJOY ALL OUT RUNS WITH YOUR FOUR OR TWO WHEEL RIDE.
ALL RUNS ARE TIMED TO BOTH THE HALF MILE AND FINAL ONE MILE MARKER.
(SHARON)>> OUR PARTICIPANTS SAID, I JUST WANT TO COME OUT HERE, HAVE A GREAT TIME.
I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW FAST I CAN GO, AND I WANT TO BE AROUND OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAN SEE HOW FAST WE CAN GO. AND THEY'RE DOING IT, AND THEY'RE LOVING IT. WE CLOSED OUT OUR REGISTRATION WITHIN FOUR DAYS OF OPENING IT.
(JOE)>> DRIVER WHO REGISTERED IN TIME CAME FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BRINGING EVERY KIND OF RIDE IMAGINABLE.
LOTS OF LATE MODEL AMERICAN IRON, ESPECIALLY CORVETTE. AND EVEN A FEW CLASSICS LIKE THIS OLD CHALLENGER. OF COURSE THE EUROPEAN CAR COUNT WAS HUGE. HERE'S A TWIN TURBO '98 BMW THAT TURNED IN A WEEKEND TOP SPEED OF 223.8 MILES AN HOUR. RUNNING A STANDING MILE IS MOSTLY ALL ABOUT HORSEPOWER AND AERODYNAMICS.
WHEN YOU WATCH THESE SOLO PASSES IT'S HARD NOT TO RECALL A SIMILAR PURSUIT OF SPEED THAT WAS LAUNCHED DECADES AGO OUT ON THE SALT FLATS.
(SHARON)>> WE PAY TRIBUTE TO WHAT WAS STARTED WITH BONNEVILLE. AND SO IT'S THAT SAME HEART AND SPIRIT BUT IT'S
DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.
(JOE)>> WE DIDN'T BRING A CAR TO RUN BUT WE HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THIS '98 CAMARO, OR AT LEAST ITS ENGINE.
WE WERE THERE AT THE SCHOOL OF AUTOMOTIVE MACHINIST WITH STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS, PRECISION MACHINE THIS LSX BLOCK AND ALUMINUM EDELBROCK PRO RACE HEAD. WEEKS LATER AT OUR SHOP WE ALL PITCHED IN TO ASSEMBLE THE ENGINE WITH A CHROMOLY CRANK AND FORGED PISTONS, RACE PERFORMANCE VALVETRAIN PARTS TO MATCH OUR CNC MACHINED HEADS, AND THE COOLEST COMPONENT OF OUR SETUP, THIS ALUMINUM INTAKE CUSTOM MADE AT SAM. WITH A FAST EFI MANAGING AIR AND E-85 FUEL, THE SMALL BLOCK GRUNTED OUT ALMOST 800 HORSEPOWER.
OF COURSE SINCE THE ENGINE AND CAR WERE SET UP FOR DRAG RACING, CHANGES WERE IN ORDER FOR THE MILE.
(JUDSON)>> THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO OBVIOUSLY IS CHANGE THE GEAR IN THE CAR FOR THE DRAG STRIP. SHE RAN ABOUT A 430, 456, AND HERE WE'RE RUNNING AT 315. WE THINK THAT'S GONNA BE CLOSE.
(LINDA)>> I DID THE QUALIFYING RUNS YESTERDAY AND I MOVED UP THE LADDER. SO NO I'M LICENSED TO GO 165 TO 190, AND HOPEFULLY THE CAR. WE'RE EXPECTING 175, AND I'M LOOKING VERY FORWARD TO THAT.
(JUDSON)>> NOW IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT HOW FAST THIS WILL REALLY GO.
(JOE)>> WITH THE CAMARO LOADED UP WITH OUR GO PRO CAMERAS AND LINDA LOADED UP WITH ADRENALINE, SHE ROLLS
INTO HER FIRST OFFICIAL WEEKEND RUN.
(LINDA)>> YOUR ADRENALINE'S RUSHING, YOU'RE WATCHING THE TACK, AND OF COURSE YOU'RE WATCHING ALL YOUR GAUGE MAKING SURE NOTHING'S HAPPENING BECAUSE AT THOSE
SPEEDS THINGS CAN HAPPEN VERY, VERY FAST.
(JOE)>> AND HER TOP SPEED, 191.9 MILES AN HOUR.
(JUDSON)>> SHE'S IN A LITTLE TROUBLE RIGHT NOW. SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GO THAT FAST. SHE JUST GOT HER FIRST LICENSE AND IT ONLY ALLOWED HER TO RUN 180.
(LINDA)>> MY LAST PASS WAS 162. ( )>> YOU'RE OVER THE 190.
(LINDA)>> OKAY, WELL I'M EXCITED! I AM IN TROUBLE WITH TECH, SO I'M AT THEIR MERCY. HOPEFULLY THEY WON'T THROW ME OUT AND UNDERSTAND THAT
I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE THE CAR WOULD GO THAT FAST.
(JOE)>> FORTUNATELY LINDA NOT ONLY GETS TO STAY, SHE GETS A NEW ARM BAND THAT LETS HER GO FASTER IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
(LINDA)>> YEAH I'M EXCITED!
(JOE)>> HERE'S THE TEXAS MILE.
IT'S ONE THING TO GO REALLY FAST, THEN COMES THE ALLURE OF BREAKING A RECORD. THAT'S SOMETHING I THING WE'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS. FIRST JENNIFER ROBERTSON PULLS HER TURBO CHARGED HAYABUSA TO THE LINE, AND DESPITE A COLD CROSS WIND SHE CROSSES THE MILE MARKER AT 243.6 MILES AN HOUR, MAKING HER?
(JENNIFER)>> THE FASTEST FEMALE IN THE WORLD. THE BIKE IS DESIGNED TO GO STRAIGHT YOU KNOW, AND THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE STABLE IT SHOULD BE. SO REALLY THE WIND IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S KEEPING ME, OR THAT KEPT ME FROM GOING FASTER.
THAT AND I MISSED THIRD GEAR.
(JOE)>> NOW CHECK OUT THE WILDEST RIDE ON FOUR WHEELS HERE, A HENNESSY PERFORMANCE GT POWERED BY A FIVE POINT FOUR LITER ACCUFAB RACE ENGINE. IT'S LOADED WITH TWIN PRECISION TURBOS AND DRIVER SEAN KENNEDY'S OUT TO BREAK HIS OWN RECORD.
(SEAN)>> THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO RUN, THAT'S OUR GOAL.
(JOE)>> SO HERE'S THE GT'S FIRST RUN OF THE WEEKEND.
(SEAN)>> IT HAPPENS IN ABOUT 20 TO 23 SECONDS. YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING FAST BUT YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW FAST BECAUSE YOU'RE CONCENTRATING ON TOO MANY OTHER THINGS, MAKING SURE THE CAR LIVES AND THROWING YOUR PARACHUTE. AND WHEN THAT PARACHUTE DEPLOYS THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING BECAUSE OF HOW HARD IT HITS.
(JOE)>> 263.3 MILES AN HOUR, AND THERE MIGHT BE MORE IN IT BUT WE'LL NEVER KNOW. ON A MISSION FOR EVEN MORE SPEED THE TRANNY LETS GO JUST AT THE HALF MILE MARK. OF COURSE THEY STILL HAVE THE RECORD FOR NOW AT LEAST. THIS CAR OWNED BY KELLY BISE IS ALREADY FAMOUS AS THE FASTEST STANDING MILE CAMARO. IT TOO HAS TWIN TURBOS PLUS A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA IF THE DRIVER JOE HONEYCUTT WANTS IT.
(KELLY)>> WE'VE GOT A 125 SHOT IN IT. HE WILL EITHER SHOOT IT OR HE WON'T, DEPENDS ON HOW HE FEELS WHEN HE GETS INTO ABOUT THIRD OR FOURTH. IF IT'S HOOKING GOOD HE'S GONNA SPRAY IT. IF IT'S SQUIRRELLY, HELL WITH IT.
(JOE)>> SO THE BISE TEAM CAMARO IS OFF, QUICKLY GAINING SPEED. BY THE HALF MILE MARKER 198 MILES AN HOUR. THEN AT THE FINISH LINE 263.2 MILES AN HOUR, JUST ONE TENTH BEHIND THE HENNESSEY GT.
(KELLY)>> WE'VE GOT TO COME BACK, THROW SOME MORE BOOST
IN IT, MAKE ANOTHER HIT. SO THEY GET TO BE THE CHAMPIONS FOR ABOUT. ( )>> $100 BUCKS MAN I'LL GIVE YOU THAT TIP! SO CAN THE BISE TEAM TURBO CAMARO COME BACK AND STEAL THE WORLD RECORD. CAN LINDA'S NATURALLY ASPIRATED CAMARO HIT A HIGHER MARK. WELL IT'S ONE MORE DAY OF STANDING MILE RUNS TO FIND OUT.
(JOE)>> THE TEXAS MILE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE PERSONAL RUSH OF GOING FAST. NO PRIZE MONEY, NO TROPHIES, JUST GETTING THE MOST SPEED AND THRILLS OUT OF WHATEVER YOU BRING HERE. SURE IT TAKES PLENTY OF HORSEPOWER TO MAKE IT INTO THE PRESTIGIOUS 200 MILE AN HOUR CLUB. ANOTHER ESSENTIAL IS AERODYNAMICS, HENCE THE PERVASIVE USE OF MASKING TAPE. BURNOUTS, WELL THEY'RE OPTIONAL, AND MORE HELPFUL FOR CARS RUNNING SLICKS. BUT SINCE IT'S ALL ABOUT TOP SPEED, LAUNCHING METHODS VARY GREATLY.
(JAY)>> THAT IS ALL A DRIVER, WHETHER THEY WANT TO SHOW THEIR POWER RIGHT OFF THE LINE OR WANT TO EASE INTO, THAT'S A PREFERENCE. WHICH CROWD ABSOLUTELY LOVES THE MORE THEY SPIN, SO I'M HAPPY WITH IT.
(JOE)>> IF I WAS TO TRY THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME WHAT KIND OF ADVISE WOULD YOU GIVE ME.
(JAY)>> SAFETY GEAR, THE MORE SAFETY GEAR YOU HAVE THE BETTER BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.
(JOE)>> KELLY BISE'S CAMARO HAD A LOT MORE SPEED IN IT BUT NEVER GOT TO SHOW IT. IN HOPES OF PASSING THE HENNESSY TEAM RECORD OF 263.3 THE CAMARO WAS CURSED WITH THE SAME TRANNY WHAMMY AS THE GT.
(JOE)>> I LET THE CLUTCH OUT ABOUT ONE POINT TWO
SECONDS INTO THIRD GEAR. JUST A LOUD BANG IN THE CAR AND BROKE THE TRANSMISSION. I'M PRETTY SURE IT SHEARED OFF A COUPLE OF GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION. ANY ONE PART IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE AT ANY ONE POINT
IN TIME, AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY RACING GOES.
(JOE)>> WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT, 200 MILES AN HOUR IS THE TRUE MILESTONE OF THE TEXAS MILE, THE UNOFFICIAL BADGE OF HONOR. QUITE A FEAT, ESPECIALLY RUNNING A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE. WELL LIKE LINDA MASSENGILL, WHO'S ALREADY EXCEEDED HER WEEKEND EXPECTATION.
[ crowd cheering ]
(LINDA)>> I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE THAT I HIT THE MARK BUT I KNEW I HAD GONE FASTER IT TOOK ME LONGER TO BRAKE. ( )>> LINDA YOU'RE THE FASTEST MASSENGILL ON THE PLANET.
(LINDA)>> WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN. IT'S AN ADRENALINE RUSH BUT EVERYTHING WENT WELL. SO IT'S TEAM EFFORT, IT'S TRULY A TEAM EFFORT.
(CHRIS)>> IT'S A SHOCKER, WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE GOING 200 MILES AN HOUR.
(BRIAN)>> THIS CAR USED TO BE MINE, AND I KNOW THAT WHEN I GO BACK TO HOUSTON ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO BE MAKING FUN OF ME FOR MY MOM RUNNING FASTER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN IN MY OWN CAR. REAL PROUD OF YOU MOM, WE LOVE YOU, AND THANKS FOR DRIVING THIS THING SO WELL.
(LINDA)>> IT WAS VERY EXCITING.
(JOE)>> WE'RE BACK, THIS TIME WITH A
QUARTER MILE COMPETITOR. DUANE LAFLUER RACES THIS JIFFY TITE CAMARO ROADSTER IN NHRA'S SUPER GAS CLASS. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE SPORTSMAN CLASSES WHERE ELECTRONIC TIMERS AND THROTTLE STOPS ARE USED TO RUN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO A 990 INDEX.
UNDER THE LID IS A 540 BIG BLOCK CHEVY FED BY A QUICK FUEL 1050 CARB. AND WHILE IT'S GOT THE POWER AND GADGETRY NEEDED TO COMPETE AND WIN, IT'S ALSO THE FIRST RACE CAR TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY OF JIFFY TITE. IT'S A COMPANY THAT PIONEERED FLUID TRANSFER QUICK RELEASE FITTINGS BACK IN THE '60'S, MOSTLY FOR OEM'S. TODAY THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE MILLION OF THEIR FITTINGS IN SERVICE. AND THANKS TO DUANE AND THE ROADSTER YOU'LL FIND MORE AND MORE OF THEM AT THE RACE TRACK.
(DUANE)>> WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAR PLUMBED ACTUALLY FROM FRONT TO BACK. WE CAN WORK ON FUEL SYSTEMS.
SO WE COME OUT OF OUR FUEL CELL, INTO OUR FUEL PUMP, INTO A FILTER, TO A REGULATOR, ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE CARBURETOR. WE HAVE A VACUUM PUMP SYSTEM ON THE CAR. IT CAN BE USED ON OVERFLOW CATCH CANS FOR RADIATORS, AND MOST OF THEM COME WITH VALVE TECHNOLOGY IN THEM. SO WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THEM YOU DON'T LOSE ANY FLUID WHATSOEVER.
BE ABLE TO CHANGE A TRANSMISSION OR A TORQUE CONVERTER, AND YOU WON'T GET BURNED. IT KEEPS IT CLEANER AND EASIER TO GO, AND MAKES THE
CHANGEOVERS A LOT EASIER.
(MIKE)>> JIFFY TITE IS THE ONLY QUICK CONNECT FITTING ON THE MARKET THAT'S APPROVED BY BOTH THE NHRA AND IHRA, AND NOW THEY'RE QUICKLY CATCHING ON WITH EVERYDAY HOT RODDERS. HERE'S ANOTHER AWESOME FEATURE WITH THE
JIFFY TITE FITTINGS. YOU CAN GO FROM A DASH 12 FITTING TO A DASH 10 WITHOUT ANY UNIONS IN BETWEEN, AND THAT'S GONNA SAVE YOU A LOT OF SPACE AND A LOT OF MONEY. NOW ON THE TABLE ARE THEIR CARBURETOR KITS, AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE IN EITHER A DASH SIX OR A DASH EIGHT LINE SIZE. YOU CAN ORDER THEM STRAIGHT, WITH A 45, OR A 90 DEGREE BEND, AND THEY COME ANODIZED IN EITHER GOLD OR BLACK. NOW EACH KIT COMES WITH TWO SOCKETS, TWO PLUGS, AND TWO ALUMINUM WASHERS. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE FITTINGS OR WHERE TO PURCHASE THEM, CHECK OUT JIFFY TITE'S WEBSITE.
(JOHN)>> NOW THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE I SEE IS GOING TO BE SAFETY. AND FOR ANY OF YOU GUYS THAT HAVE EVER SWAPPED OUT A
CARBURETOR ON A HOT ENGINE, WELL YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WITH TRADITIONAL A/N FITTINGS THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. WITH JIFFY TITE CONNECTORS WE JUST PLACE THE WASHER ON THE SEVENEIGHTHS BY 20 PLUG AND SCREW IT INTO THE BOWL.
AND WITH A SIMPLE CLOCK, THE CONNECTION IS MADE.
NOW WE CAN REFILL THE BOWLS BY PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
AND THANKS TO THAT ADVANCED VALVING TECHNOLOGY A QUICK CHANGE ON THE FLY IS VIRTUALLY SPILL PROOF.
(JOE)>> PLUS NO MORE DANGER OF CROSS THREADING OR OVER TIGHTENING A FITTING ANYMORE. AND WITH ALL THE ENGINE SWAPS WE'VE GOT GOING ON IN HERE IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO SWAP OUT ALL OF OUR DYNO FITTINGS WITH JIFFY TITES FOR A CLEANER, SAFER, EASIER PLACE TO WORK IN, AND WE'RE ALL ABOUT THAT.
(MIKE)>> THERE'S NOTHING THAT PUMPS UP THE APPEARANCE OF A VEHICLE LIKE A NEW SET OF WHEELS. IT'S A STRONG VISUAL STATEMENT AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE IF YOU'VE GOT THE CASH.
LETS FACE IT, NEW WHEELS ARE EXPENSIVE. SO WHY CHANGE THE WHEELS WHEN YOU CAN CHANGE THE APPEARANCE FOR A LOT CHEAPER. THIS IS DUPLICOLOR'S TWO CAN HYPER SILVER COATING THAT WORKS ON ANY WHEEL TYPE. NOW THE BASE COAT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT DEEP SILVER LOOK WHILE THE CLEAR COAT ADDS GLOSS, DEPTH, AND PROTECTION. WE'RE GONNA USE THE KIT ON THIS ALUMINUM WHEEL TO SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS. FIRST YOU NEED TO SCUFF THE SURFACE WITH A SCOTCH BRITE PAD.
NOW MOST WHEELS LIKE THIS GET A COAT OF CLEAR COAT AT THE FACTORY, AND YOU WANT TO REMOVE IT
FOR BETTER ADHESION. NEXT THE CLEANER THE BETTER, SO IT'S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO USE SOME QUALITY GREASE AND WAX REMOVER LIKE THIS PREP SPRAY. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FIX ANY DAMAGE YOUR OLD WHEELS ACQUIRED. NOW OURS IS MINOR BUT WORTH THE EFFORT. OF COURSE SINCE WE'RE KEEPING THE WHEEL ON THE TIRE, WE'LL NEED TO MASK OFF THIS AREA TO AVOID OVERSPRAY. NOW WE'RE READY TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS AND APPLY TWO TO THREE LIGHT COATS OF THE HYPER SILVER BASE COAT. IT'S WAY BETTER TO LAY DOWN SEVERAL VERY LIGHT COATS THAN A HEAVY COAT THAT MIGHT END UP RUNNING ON YOU. IT'LL DRY TO THE TOUCH IN 30 MINUTES, AND IT'S SAFE TO HANDLE IN ONE HOUR. THEN YOU'RE READY FOR THE CLEAR COAT, AND FOR THIS ONE OR TWO COATS SHOULD DO THE TRICK ALLOWING ABOUT A HALF HOUR BETWEEN COATS. YOUR WHEEL WILL BE DRY TO THE TOUCH IN AN HOUR.
SO IF YOU'RE ROLLING ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE ANY MORE, DO YOU?
(JOE)>> IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT CARB TO MOUNT ON YOUR STOCK TO SLIGHTLY MODIFIED VEIGHT, WELL THIS
MIGHT FUEL YOUR INTEREST. IT'S A 625 CFM STREET DEMON WITH A NEW COOL CLEAN LOOK AND STRAIGHT BORE DESIGN THAT MAKES IT READY TO RUN RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. NOW SOME OF THE FEATURES INCLUDE AN INTEGRATED FUEL BOWL AND MAIN BODY, ONE PIECE AIR HORN ASSEMBLY, AND A SPRING TORSION VALVE CONTROL FOR SEAMLESS PRIMARY TO SECONDARY RESPONSE. PLUS THEY GAVE IT A DUAL MOUNTING BOLT PATTERN, SO IT FITS JUST ABOUT ANY FOUR BARREL INTAKE. ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS OUTPUT ABOUT $350 BUCKS.
(MIKE)>> IF YOU'VE EVER UPGRADED YOUR VEHICLE'S INTERIOR, YOU KNOW THE ADVANTAGES OF BOOM MAT FROM DEI. WELL NOW THEY'VE GOT A NEW PRODUCT. IT'S CALLED UNDER CARPET LIGHT, AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR THOSE HARD TO COVER AREAS LIKE UNDER HEAD LINERS, DOOR PANELS, EVEN FIREWALLS. NOW IT'S A HALF INCH THICK MULTILAYER COMPOSITE MATERIAL THAT'S FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO INSTALL. NOW YOU CAN USE IT ALONE OR AS AN ADDED BARRIER WITH BOOM MAT. EITHER WAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SOUND DEADENER THAT PROTECTS AGAINST NOISES LIKE SQUEAKS AND RATTLES, AND THAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE. NOW SUMMIT RACING HAS THIS STUFF AVAILABLE IN PLENTY OF SIZES.
(JOE)>> WELL HERE'S A SOURCE OF SOUND YOU WILL WANT TO HEAR IN YOUR RIDE, AND IT'S THE ANSWER TO THE AGE OLD QUESTION, WHERE DO YOU MOUNT STEREO SPEAKERS IN A STREET
ROD OR CUSTOM CAR WITHOUT MESSING UP THE LOOKS.
IT'S CALLED THE SYSTEM ONE FROM CUSTOM AUTO SOUND, AND IT FEATURES A PAIR OF THREE INCH TWEETERS THAT LOOK JUST LIKE A/C VENTS.
SO YOU CAN MOUNT THEM IN KICK PANELS, UNDER THE DASH, EVEN BACK ON THE PACKAGE TRY. NOW THE 150 WATT AMP AND WOOFER ASSEMBLY IS A LOW PROFILE DESIGN. SO IT FITS RIGHT UNDER YOUR SEAT. SO FOR ABOUT $280 BUCKS YOU CAN LISTEN TO ALL YOUR
NEW SOUNDS IN YOUR CLASSIC OLD RIDE.
WELL TIME FOR US TO TAKE A RIDE BACK TO THE HOUSE, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

(LINDA)>> YEAH I'M EXCITED!
(JOE)>> HERE'S THE TEXAS MILE.
IT'S ONE THING TO GO REALLY FAST, THEN COMES THE ALLURE OF BREAKING A RECORD. THAT'S SOMETHING I THING WE'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS. FIRST JENNIFER ROBERTSON PULLS HER TURBO CHARGED HAYABUSA TO THE LINE, AND DESPITE A COLD CROSS WIND SHE CROSSES THE MILE MARKER AT 243.6 MILES AN HOUR, MAKING HER?
(JENNIFER)>> THE FASTEST FEMALE IN THE WORLD. THE BIKE IS DESIGNED TO GO STRAIGHT YOU KNOW, AND THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE STABLE IT SHOULD BE. SO REALLY THE WIND IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S KEEPING ME, OR THAT KEPT ME FROM GOING FASTER.

(JOE)>> THE TEXAS MILE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE PERSONAL RUSH OF GOING FAST. NO PRIZE MONEY, NO TROPHIES, JUST GETTING THE MOST SPEED AND THRILLS OUT OF WHATEVER YOU BRING HERE. SURE IT TAKES PLENTY OF HORSEPOWER TO MAKE IT INTO THE PRESTIGIOUS 200 MILE AN HOUR CLUB. ANOTHER ESSENTIAL IS AERODYNAMICS, HENCE THE PERVASIVE USE OF MASKING TAPE.

SECONDS INTO THIRD GEAR. JUST A LOUD BANG IN THE CAR AND BROKE THE TRANSMISSION. I'M PRETTY SURE IT SHEARED OFF A COUPLE OF GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION. ANY ONE PART IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE AT ANY ONE POINT
IN TIME, AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY RACING GOES.
(JOE)>> WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT, 200 MILES AN HOUR IS THE TRUE MILESTONE OF THE TEXAS MILE, THE UNOFFICIAL BADGE OF HONOR. QUITE A FEAT, ESPECIALLY RUNNING A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE. WELL LIKE LINDA MASSENGILL, WHO'S ALREADY EXCEEDED HER WEEKEND EXPECTATION.

(LINDA)>> IT WAS VERY EXCITING.
(JOE)>> WE'RE BACK, THIS TIME WITH A
QUARTER MILE COMPETITOR. DUANE LAFLUER RACES THIS JIFFY TITE CAMARO ROADSTER IN NHRA'S SUPER GAS CLASS. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE SPORTSMAN CLASSES WHERE ELECTRONIC TIMERS AND THROTTLE STOPS ARE USED TO RUN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO A 990 INDEX.
UNDER THE LID IS A 540 BIG BLOCK CHEVY FED BY A QUICK FUEL 1050 CARB. AND WHILE IT'S GOT THE POWER AND GADGETRY NEEDED TO COMPETE AND WIN, IT'S ALSO THE FIRST RACE CAR TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY OF JIFFY TITE. IT'S A COMPANY THAT PIONEERED FLUID TRANSFER QUICK RELEASE FITTINGS BACK IN THE '60'S, MOSTLY FOR OEM'S. TODAY THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE MILLION OF THEIR FITTINGS IN SERVICE. AND THANKS TO DUANE AND THE ROADSTER YOU'LL FIND MORE AND MORE OF THEM AT THE RACE TRACK.
(DUANE)>> WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAR PLUMBED ACTUALLY FROM FRONT TO BACK. WE CAN WORK ON FUEL SYSTEMS.
SO WE COME OUT OF OUR FUEL CELL, INTO OUR FUEL PUMP, INTO A FILTER, TO A REGULATOR, ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE CARBURETOR. WE HAVE A VACUUM PUMP SYSTEM ON THE CAR. IT CAN BE USED ON OVERFLOW CATCH CANS FOR RADIATORS, AND MOST OF THEM COME WITH VALVE TECHNOLOGY IN THEM. SO WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THEM YOU DON'T LOSE ANY FLUID WHATSOEVER.
BE ABLE TO CHANGE A TRANSMISSION OR A TORQUE CONVERTER, AND YOU WON'T GET BURNED. IT KEEPS IT CLEANER AND EASIER TO GO, AND MAKES THE
CHANGEOVERS A LOT EASIER.
(MIKE)>> JIFFY TITE IS THE ONLY QUICK CONNECT FITTING ON THE MARKET THAT'S APPROVED BY BOTH THE NHRA AND IHRA, AND NOW THEY'RE QUICKLY CATCHING ON WITH EVERYDAY HOT RODDERS. HERE'S ANOTHER AWESOME FEATURE WITH THE
JIFFY TITE FITTINGS. YOU CAN GO FROM A DASH 12 FITTING TO A DASH 10 WITHOUT ANY UNIONS IN BETWEEN, AND THAT'S GONNA SAVE YOU A LOT OF SPACE AND A LOT OF MONEY. NOW ON THE TABLE ARE THEIR CARBURETOR KITS, AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE IN EITHER A DASH SIX OR A DASH EIGHT LINE SIZE. YOU CAN ORDER THEM STRAIGHT, WITH A 45, OR A 90 DEGREE BEND, AND THEY COME ANODIZED IN EITHER GOLD OR BLACK. NOW EACH KIT COMES WITH TWO SOCKETS, TWO PLUGS, AND TWO ALUMINUM WASHERS. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE FITTINGS OR WHERE TO PURCHASE THEM, CHECK OUT JIFFY TITE'S WEBSITE.
(JOHN)>> NOW THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE I SEE IS GOING TO BE SAFETY. AND FOR ANY OF YOU GUYS THAT HAVE EVER SWAPPED OUT A
CARBURETOR ON A HOT ENGINE, WELL YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WITH TRADITIONAL A/N FITTINGS THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. WITH JIFFY TITE CONNECTORS WE JUST PLACE THE WASHER ON THE SEVENEIGHTHS BY 20 PLUG AND SCREW IT INTO THE BOWL.
AND WITH A SIMPLE CLOCK, THE CONNECTION IS MADE.
NOW WE CAN REFILL THE BOWLS BY PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
AND THANKS TO THAT ADVANCED VALVING TECHNOLOGY A QUICK CHANGE ON THE FLY IS VIRTUALLY SPILL PROOF.
(JOE)>> PLUS NO MORE DANGER OF CROSS THREADING OR OVER TIGHTENING A FITTING ANYMORE. AND WITH ALL THE ENGINE SWAPS WE'VE GOT GOING ON IN HERE IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO SWAP OUT ALL OF OUR DYNO FITTINGS WITH JIFFY TITES FOR A CLEANER, SAFER, EASIER PLACE TO WORK IN, AND WE'RE ALL ABOUT THAT.
(MIKE)>> THERE'S NOTHING THAT PUMPS UP THE APPEARANCE OF A VEHICLE LIKE A NEW SET OF WHEELS. IT'S A STRONG VISUAL STATEMENT AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE IF YOU'VE GOT THE CASH.
LETS FACE IT, NEW WHEELS ARE EXPENSIVE. SO WHY CHANGE THE WHEELS WHEN YOU CAN CHANGE THE APPEARANCE FOR A LOT CHEAPER. THIS IS DUPLICOLOR'S TWO CAN HYPER SILVER COATING THAT WORKS ON ANY WHEEL TYPE. NOW THE BASE COAT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT DEEP SILVER LOOK WHILE THE CLEAR COAT ADDS GLOSS, DEPTH, AND PROTECTION. WE'RE GONNA USE THE KIT ON THIS ALUMINUM WHEEL TO SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS. FIRST YOU NEED TO SCUFF THE SURFACE WITH A SCOTCH BRITE PAD.
NOW MOST WHEELS LIKE THIS GET A COAT OF CLEAR COAT AT THE FACTORY, AND YOU WANT TO REMOVE IT
FOR BETTER ADHESION. NEXT THE CLEANER THE BETTER, SO IT'S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO USE SOME QUALITY GREASE AND WAX REMOVER LIKE THIS PREP SPRAY. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FIX ANY DAMAGE YOUR OLD WHEELS ACQUIRED. NOW OURS IS MINOR BUT WORTH THE EFFORT. OF COURSE SINCE WE'RE KEEPING THE WHEEL ON THE TIRE, WE'LL NEED TO MASK OFF THIS AREA TO AVOID OVERSPRAY. NOW WE'RE READY TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS AND APPLY TWO TO THREE LIGHT COATS OF THE HYPER SILVER BASE COAT. IT'S WAY BETTER TO LAY DOWN SEVERAL VERY LIGHT COATS THAN A HEAVY COAT THAT MIGHT END UP RUNNING ON YOU. IT'LL DRY TO THE TOUCH IN 30 MINUTES, AND IT'S SAFE TO HANDLE IN ONE HOUR. THEN YOU'RE READY FOR THE CLEAR COAT, AND FOR THIS ONE OR TWO COATS SHOULD DO THE TRICK ALLOWING ABOUT A HALF HOUR BETWEEN COATS. YOUR WHEEL WILL BE DRY TO THE TOUCH IN AN HOUR.
SO IF YOU'RE ROLLING ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE ANY MORE, DO YOU?
(JOE)>> IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT CARB TO MOUNT ON YOUR STOCK TO SLIGHTLY MODIFIED VEIGHT, WELL THIS
MIGHT FUEL YOUR INTEREST. IT'S A 625 CFM STREET DEMON WITH A NEW COOL CLEAN LOOK AND STRAIGHT BORE DESIGN THAT MAKES IT READY TO RUN RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. NOW SOME OF THE FEATURES INCLUDE AN INTEGRATED FUEL BOWL AND MAIN BODY, ONE PIECE AIR HORN ASSEMBLY, AND A SPRING TORSION VALVE CONTROL FOR SEAMLESS PRIMARY TO SECONDARY RESPONSE. PLUS THEY GAVE IT A DUAL MOUNTING BOLT PATTERN, SO IT FITS JUST ABOUT ANY FOUR BARREL INTAKE. ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS OUTPUT ABOUT $350 BUCKS.
(MIKE)>> IF YOU'VE EVER UPGRADED YOUR VEHICLE'S INTERIOR, YOU KNOW THE ADVANTAGES OF BOOM MAT FROM DEI. WELL NOW THEY'VE GOT A NEW PRODUCT. IT'S CALLED UNDER CARPET LIGHT, AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR THOSE HARD TO COVER AREAS LIKE UNDER HEAD LINERS, DOOR PANELS, EVEN FIREWALLS. NOW IT'S A HALF INCH THICK MULTILAYER COMPOSITE MATERIAL THAT'S FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO INSTALL. NOW YOU CAN USE IT ALONE OR AS AN ADDED BARRIER WITH BOOM MAT. EITHER WAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SOUND DEADENER THAT PROTECTS AGAINST NOISES LIKE SQUEAKS AND RATTLES, AND THAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE. NOW SUMMIT RACING HAS THIS STUFF AVAILABLE IN PLENTY OF SIZES.
(JOE)>> WELL HERE'S A SOURCE OF SOUND YOU WILL WANT TO HEAR IN YOUR RIDE, AND IT'S THE ANSWER TO THE AGE OLD QUESTION, WHERE DO YOU MOUNT STEREO SPEAKERS IN A STREET
ROD OR CUSTOM CAR WITHOUT MESSING UP THE LOOKS.
IT'S CALLED THE SYSTEM ONE FROM CUSTOM AUTO SOUND, AND IT FEATURES A PAIR OF THREE INCH TWEETERS THAT LOOK JUST LIKE A/C VENTS.
SO YOU CAN MOUNT THEM IN KICK PANELS, UNDER THE DASH, EVEN BACK ON THE PACKAGE TRY. NOW THE 150 WATT AMP AND WOOFER ASSEMBLY IS A LOW PROFILE DESIGN. SO IT FITS RIGHT UNDER YOUR SEAT. SO FOR ABOUT $280 BUCKS YOU CAN LISTEN TO ALL YOUR
NEW SOUNDS IN YOUR CLASSIC OLD RIDE.
WELL TIME FOR US TO TAKE A RIDE BACK TO THE HOUSE, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
