  • Alex & Lucky head to Pontiac, Michigan, for all the street-legal drag racing action on Woodward, but this time take on the Big Tire class in RKN. That means faster cars, better drivers, and a need to step up their game.

    There is something to be said for a car that doesn't need to wrap an air draper after a run. Well done Alex and Lucky you crack me up always a good time.

    Alex, that was a seriously awesome race between you and that BelAir. You treed him both times, but he reeled you in at the end. Those are the kind of races I like to see. Way to go girl!

    Love Alex on Hot Rod Garage with Lucky Costa, wish Motor trend would dedicate their own CZcams Channel for HRG that you don't have to pay more for, not coughing up more dough for media, forget it! Also I refuse to do any other social media as a 68 year old dude, gotta draw a line, NO to F.B., X, Instagram, etc, etc, just NO. Alex is Beautiful, charming, and funny! Total Rockstar. Lucky is great as well! Great team.

    Never ever smack a damper on with any kind of hammer you can reset the thrust bearing and that will start hurting the engine, I did not think they would show that but they did.

    In this day and age why would you want a Powerglide when you can put a turbo 400 or a multi-speed like the Hellcat has ? Aren't you giving up some performance?

    • @keithcieplinski
      @keithcieplinski Před 7 měsíci +3

      Powerglide is lighter, simpler, wastes less power, and it's a short track. You don't need to waste time with more shifts.

    • @andretorben9995
      @andretorben9995 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Trans with more gears are more suited to engines with very narrow "peaky" power bands. The multi gears keeps them in their sweet spot. With an engine like this with a broad power band doesnt matter as much.

    • @lukemeier8917
      @lukemeier8917 Před 7 měsíci +1

      @@keithcieplinski well, she lost and you may be right about the short track but I think one more gear would have helped... I guess the difference would have to be analyzed, I was originally thinking quarter mile.

      @lukemeier8917 Před 7 měsíci +2

      @@andretorben9995 wouldn't you think that keeping any engine in its power band would be an advantage if you let the transmission do the work? It's well-known that the Hellcat is not peaky but has massive torque yet it still has multiple gears . I think what the other guy said about it being a short track might have some Merit to it. I was originally thinking it was quarter mile...

    I like Alex, but I keep seeing her working on cars with rings and bracelets on. It's setting a bad example. Plus if she keeps it up someday she might lose a finger or a hand.

      The jewelry can be an issue with welding but general building is really up to the builder. I notice you don’t have an issue with Lucky’s wrist watch.

      @@TwoWheeledTon I have never noticed Lucky's watch, but it's the same thing. I know a lot of married guys went to wearing the silicone rings to avoid having fingers and hands torn off.
      A lot of professional people that work with rotating equipment take off their jewelry while working to avoid accidents. Guys or girls shouldn't matter, safety matters.

      I remember Dulcich explain the Mopar 6-speed not be good for drag type shifting ,as an reasion that all the participants in the special roadkill night Mopar competition seemed to be fighting with the shifting. The slipper clutch was also an disadvance for the type of competition, since it need a lot of cooling time between runs, to not burn up.
