Which car do you think we should take to Death Week? Let us known in the comments.
Death Week has been officially confirmed and locked down! We will be visiting Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Phoenix, Barona Drags near San Diego and Famoso Dragway in Bakersfield. And that’s just the tracks! We’re also going to see the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Death Valley, the Sequoia National Park and way more.
Pre-entries are now open for those who filled out the expression of interest form (you should have an email if you did). But you can still get early entry access if you fill out the form here:
We’ll have way more news on Death Week in weeks to come. We also have an update on the Drag Pak Dodge Durango for you, showing you what worked and what didn’t on this brand new build that we took to Roadkill Nights.

Then Wine tasting in the iconic wine country, napa co. to Healdsburg sonoma county. worlds best wines !!!
Bob's instant comment to that 120 pounds was great!!! lol.
Tom
As a 65yo that did stupid stuff, look up the roof top difuser that directs the air coming over the roof down the back window. Was used in rally applications to aid traction by reducing the drag and uplift that can cause the rear to float under high speed
Simple to make and could possibly add mph with stability to the durango
Its like an upside down "L"
Man, i should find your email and send you some ideas……..
Enjoy your adventuring…….. wish i was in USA……
Man this is going to be awesome. I’ve been asking for something like this for so long. Finally a car event to take place on the west coast. California will not hassle you to much over old car stuff. I drive my gasser, red tint, no lights, seatbelts etc… always got thumbs up from cops. You will be fine
My god talking 20 min thank whoever fo fast forward
too bad your gonna miss Tucson Arizona i been wanting to meet ytou for several years now. have a safe trip.
That's a real holiday in usa road tripping and checking old stuff
Regarding the forgotten intercooler switch deal, why not wire it to run by default and use the switch to turn it off when you don't want/don't need it? Would be safer that way if you forgot it again. Or may be simpler let it be controlled by your ECU to turn it on if intake air temp goes over whatever number you choose.
Hit Cerro Gordo in death valley, it might be a fun stopover. Love the death week commercial
make sure you are armed and keep a good watch over your cars in California because its the high crime area in terms of violence and stolen cars.
Wonder how the CHP is going to enjoy the cars. Cali is pretty strict on hot rods. Either way I’ll be watching.
Can only imagine the harassment CHP gives you going up the PCH, but agree, it’s a great drive and will be even cooler in those cars.
Brave driving the boarder down here
Watch out for those illegal aliens crossing the road. You'll see the traffic signs.
The weed growers are Cartel owned. Be safe..
The CHP will screw with you.
Be prepared for 5-6 dollar a gallon gasoline..
Hope the CHP doesn't impound your cars for, well that's just because..
The crime out here is outrageous..
Come to the El Mirage dry lake bed..
Be safe.
God bless you and your loved ones..
Godspeed.
(They are taking about highway emission checks)
For Everyone who comes into the State…
This State is Fucked!
Too old and invested to move..
I am serious head East ……
That will be one epic road trip no doubt. Thanks for the update , much appreciated.
If your going to Santa Barbara, I recommend a stop a bit north of it, Lompoc and have a stop at the wine ghetto. Look up: lompoc-wine-ghetto, we had such a great time at Montemar Wine!
Tom, careful with my Gasser, I hope I win her. If I do I will do my first drag week.
How about renting a U-Haul truck to tows your racing vehicles in California ? Worried Free from harassment and $$ expensive aluminum parts failured.
Tom, it’s not far from the Mexico boarder and it’s a crazy sight. The Salton Sea would be an epic stop for you.
I’ve done that entire 2000 mile trip you have planned but not all at once. LA to Death Vally to Vegas is a long drive but it is awesome and I hope to do it again some day.
I love Tom's excitement over DeathWeek!!!
MAD MAX is right. California is the homeless apocalypse of the country. Last I saw Venice is a disgusting homeless encampment. GOOD LUCK.
I think the CHP will be cool as long as you guys don’t act a fool. One person can screw up the group.
No smog laws in Cali on pre 1975 cars. It is legal to drive thru California from other states as long as the car is registered and insured. People watch too much cable news, get off the couch and go build yourself a race car lol!
It’s California, so there’s all sorts of pipe sniffing!
I’m in Cali I can’t wait for this I want I’m going to have to follow you guy. This is bad ass!!!
if i knew ej was down at rossler i would have bought lunch
"Sniff my Pipe"
How are you guys going to drive on California highway’s in modified cars? Do you have special permission from California? I’m really curious about this because I’m a truck driver and I know how strict they are when it comes to any type of modifications to a vehicle especially modified exhaust.
Should definitely head though flagstaff then though Jerome then prescott it's amazing
F in AWESOME , I would love to do that spectacular road trip of a lifetime in my 55 chev.
If you are going down I-8 hit Duners Diner.
What a cool montage with the Kennedy voiceover.
Because it's California. They will hammer you guys bad. California definitely isn't what it use to be. I would avoid it. I hope it works out for you. Best of luck.
EPA will be all over this especially in California haha
Is there merch for death weak?
That was a good change of pace. Lots of laughs!!
Cops in SoCal don’t mess with old hot rods much everyone is going to have a blast!
Plan on getting quite a few tickets. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple cars are impounded. As far as Santa Barbara goes it's not a cool Town anymore it's full of homeless people and drug addicts. You really should pay attention to the news California is trashed. Also if you're going to be that close to the Border you better take some guns with you. This border and immigration issue is not a joke the crime is out of control
Epic trip but good luck with the CHP in Cali, they do stop out of state plated cars for violations. Hope you get through there unscathed.
God bless ya, you are batshot crazy, Tom.
