The group also discusses the potential for damage to engines from sand and the importance of keeping their vehicles' air filters clean.
🏁 Sand Drag Racing and Vehicle Recovery
The script moves on to sand drag racing, where the group lines up their powerful vehicles on a sand drag strip. They engage in friendly competition, racing against each other's modified vehicles. The group also faces challenges such as getting stuck in the sand and needing recovery with a winch. Despite the setbacks, they continue to enjoy the experience, with one member attempting a wheelie in a sand car.

that is crazy that is
crazy you
better
B try to get a
B get to it's like that try to get a big
with
theck
don't that's not good
guys here's the deal right we got
visitors at the compound today we have
got hold
on Australians and the thing is right we
went to the sandunes a while back with
our Corvette and I was talking to Kyle
about the Sand's like that's fing cool I
want to take my high look out there so
now we got to figure out how to put
paddle tires on the back of his hux so
we can go to the sand dunes that's what
we're doing today so I think these nice
even Wheels I got we'll just drill
bigger holes in them and just put them
on like I said we wanted to go sand
duning and I have these sand blaster
tires these big old paddle tires these
things were supposed to be 35s but
they're technically like 37 and 1 halfs
so they don't fit on the Corvette but
we're going to take an ankle grinder to
his truck and make them fit on
there you speak about this Oh I thought
that was the
plan so somehow we got to figure out how
to put these oversized tires on my
hilock without hopefully wrecking
everything before we get to the engines
yeah or we just wreck everything that
way it's already wrecked by the time we
get to the sand Dan and it matches the
rest of your
flight I thought we were friends raggy
ass goddamn High got four Drive are
these the new
Wheels oh dude that's a smaller that's a
smaller offset why don't you put it on
there and kind of see where it sets at
on so this seems like a brilliant idea
to me H maybe we'll just make it a
doy you are not just good looking you
are actually really intelligent I know I
know you ever looked at my LinkedIn no
it says I have a PhD in
propulsion
oh
wa there it goes bum bum
bum come here that look good all right
let's see if it fits his truck hey Jack
it up a bit it's not fitting as of
yet
there fits perfect look at
that that's a massive amount of room you
know what we can do we can get a grinder
and cut a slot in every paddle why do
that the bed going to do it by itself
yeah a long time ago I had a downpipe on
that truck out there HD in the bottom of
the cab you know what I did drove 20,000
Mi and
stop if you hit a bump they're going to
slice them in half but they fit is just
sitting right here I'd be more
comfortable if we did a little bit of a
bedlift yeah we could do that or we
could chop it dropping would be quicker
but we're also going to ruin the Mona
Lisa of donut Cuts you know Mona Lisa
was touched up in the 1800s right that's
what we're doing we're just touching up
the monisa That's I touch this every
time I drive it like massively like if
my daughter when I'm older and she had
her boyfriend had this as a car I would
not let that happen because you just
know this dude with this setup he's he
me's business your daughter's going to
end up pregnant that's what's going to
happen that's weird to say now but so
have you ever been like you ever driven
on like sand dunes at all no INR Atlanta
well here we're allowed to we're allowed
to do everything we want out there if
you want to roll this thing off a dune
we can do it you want to do donuts in
The Dunes we can do it you want to crash
in the dunes you can do it can't drink
alcohol that's the only problem right
your
stuff oh
sweet D that looks like a redneck that
just got a tax
money he afford him a new set of boots
that's what it looks like now here's the
thing guys um Kyle's really really
worried about one specific part of this
plane the fact is when you go to the
sand dunes there's this stuff there
called sand and sand is fantastic fun to
drive on but if you get it in your
engine well it's pretty destructive and
it'll literally ruin his motor so he
really wants to put an air filter on the
front of it he wanted to deal with the
air filter first but I'm thinking as
long as the tires fit we go but if we
can put an air filter on it we'll try
try that too and you know what after you
explaining that I've just realized most
things you do here work out perfectly
yeah like honestly nothing really goes
wrong that often them look
fantastic what I'm thinking is why we
just take some 2x4s and put them in
between his bed in his frame like if we
jacked it up we could just stuff some
boards in that's what I'm saying yeah
put some boards Inay in there I me we
got Racor straps
too I'll be honest I wasn't really that
excited about it but with a little bit
of help of mine not much a whole lot of
them I cut out a couple plates for them
which were wrong so they recut them but
long story short there's now an air
filter on the engine you happy no Sand's
going to get in I'm a little happy in
that as long as it beats that black
pette that's all I care about oh dude
you better watch out I got 197
horsepower Fury in that thing I think
this has 600 horsepower on idle so it's
pretty fair look look they raised the
bed instead of doing the nice little
chop out thing that I was thinking about
but look the paddle tire now fit I'll be
honest they take High horsepower
Vehicles out to the dunes all the time
but this thing makes a ridiculous amount
of horsepower to do burnouts in right
I'm not sure how well it's going to do
on the dunes but it's this thing is
never broken he's beat it like a rented
meal at every burnout competition across
the country so but what we do know is
we're going to the sand dunes let's do
it all of our junk loaded up we got the
Razor the Bronco the Corvette the
Corvette was having a bunch of problems
overheating the last time we were down
there so we put a new coant tank on it
we got it full of coant and then we got
this stock Toyota over here that thing
should be doing ready to go rip we're
going to go down there and see how much
fun we can
[Music]
[Music]

lot for us to unload and work on all of
our junk but look at this look at this
it's cool right bunk beds everywhere big

ass it's not about horsepower here it's
about finesse it's about driver
skill that's why I'm not going to win
you got no chance if he stops you're
going to pop out and go he's going to
dig so the only way you can win is if
you get him off like stop start and you
get the hit and then he's going to catch
you on the big end but you need to be
you need to be fast cuz you ain't first
you're last remember that that's right
he's giving me a pep talk so I do I get
the hit since you have 800 extra
horsepower I'll give you the hit okay
