They should honestly bring those other two guys they had last on Free Roadkill on full time. They had great chemistry, were funny and got a lot of poo poo done.

I'd love to see a show with Tony and Lucky working regularly with Finnegan and Freiberger, but it seems unlikely.

I think this was one of the best Roadkill episodes ever. No disrespect to Stubby Bob, I love it of course, but it seemed pretty obvious that as long as it didn't break catastrophically it was going to work.

This one was pretty much an unknown until they first slammed the valve handle, and the looks on their faces when it worked seem to confirm they didn't have any idea what was going to happen either.

Also as much as the idea of it being universal was a joke, you probably could rig it up to a lot of vehicles using parts from a rear-mount turbo setup. I kinda want to see the Boost Caboose return and get strapped to as many of the rest of their cars they can.


Not a video but related to this and another video series, Roadkill editor Elana Scherr was on The Smoking Tire's podcast recently and they released the episode the other day: http://shoutengine.com/TheSmokingTire/she-who-kills-roads-elana-scherr-25504

He didn't move the wheel at all, and luckily, the car stayed in a straight line instead of rolling. Luck... and knowing that cranking the wheel is only gonna make it worse.

Keep in mind, once that body seal to the ground is broken, a 240mph wind is in the cockpit. You can see it blow the blower belt off. It's an amazing bit of driving? Flying? I dunno lol

I would assume by the time in your career you're doing funny car drags you've probably had something similar happen to you a few times by now. But still, god drat that is impressive and heroic work.

There are a lot of pulls which start that way but sure don't end that way.
