Of course your wife deserve some proper gearbox, not this lazy boy trans 😁

[@stephanvanheerden8967]

Is it possible to swap the trans out to 10 speed then?

[@Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🏁🏁Great content brother you’re killin it in 2022 😎🤙🏾

[@ashes_s3928]

also this may sound silly but give this a try for possible better 1-2 shifts, if there is a kick down pedal/button on the throttle, either add rubber so it blocks it from engaging or try to consciously be WOT while not hitting the kick down pedal. as silly as it sounds ive had the same issue and it turned out to be the kickdown function being too techy for its own good. my problem was as soon as it would get to the shift point it would get hung up for a second as if it was trying to downshift or find another gear until it finally goes into 2nd. it remedied my 1-2 shifts i couldnt believe it!. i was emailing my DSG tuner back and forth until he said to try not using the kickdown at all lol

I love how she went from "I'm so nervous" to "How do we get more power" lol, she's definitely got that racing spirit

[@nikdavis2404]

"Traction off, a/c off" the look on his face when she said that was priceless. Also after first track day she already wants more power and to keep beating people, gotta love it!

Bro I got so much respect for Alex! Good job bro!!! Don’t see many people take their wife racing But ITS AWESOME!!!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks brother!!

[@jasonzed6932]

Not only was she faster than Alex, her estimation was also the most accurate. She's so cool. You're one lucky man, Alex.

[@Muratorm]

i love it when Alex is explaining what needs to be done to go faster and then smiles to the camera like "that's what been waiting for"

[@grindfor5]

Starts off as " I was so nervous" to "Yeah We can run again." One of the top videos Ive watched in a very long time. Great team work from the whole crew!

[@zmarko]

That was tons of fun. You can really tell she's getting into it. Especially at the end when she asked what needed to be done to it to hit 113. 🤣 She's hooked, Alex!

[@TwentytenS4B8]

All it needs is a trans tune and maybe a pulley change on the SC

[@autogaragelife]

29:30 literally laughed out loud at your face when your wife asked what do we need to do to go faster! She got the bug!!😂😂

[@dutchdna]

Best mod you can do is throw your 180 lbs wife out of the truck and you'll be running in the 12's.

[@davidcombs8458]

Also, I feel compelled to tell a story about my late wife. She was the drag racer of the two of us. One night we rolled up to T&T night in our stock Forester. She announced that she was racing right when we pulled up to pay the admission. Shocked the hell out of me. She ran 3 times in the 17s and had a blast. So sad we never made it back. So, my message is that life is short. Do all that stuff you always say you’re going to do!

[@armaan78696]

I’m really sorry for your loss. Beautiful story, and I’m sure she’s in a better place now! ❤

[@tylermulkey330]

Man brother sorry for your loss. Glad you have that memory with your wife though. I just told my wife I wish we could do fun stuff like this. Lol. 😂 I just don’t have the big pockets even tho I I’m in the middle of super charging my 08F150 that’s wht landed me on this page but this content is on point.

[@htownblue11]

Your wife is awesome Alex. She did fantastic for her first drag race. Always fun to see what the mods you do are capable of.

[@bjrmanucduc]

So rad to see the whole crew together for a good time! And your wife has no fear! Definitely looking forward for what's to come with the Escalade 😀

[@Qyngali]

Best part of the video was seeing the wide open eyes of you wife focusing on the launches lol. Amazing. You're a lucky guy.

[@stuartd9741]

Yeah like this --->>😳

[@deezznts]

Loved this video!!! Your wife's face on that last race was all I needed to know that she got a great launch on that last Track Hawk race!!! That Track Hawks are fast and you were right on his bumper!! Best part of the video is when your wife was like, yeah, it's time for more mods to go faster! 100% keeper....lol

[@TimHoppen]

That look on your face when she asked you how to get that 113 was perfect; you contained your excitement as well as you could. Speed is a wonderful addiction 👌

[@dogtiredguitars]

This was one of your best vids ever, man! I LOVE how much fun your wife was having, and even more, how happy and supportive you were. And then at the end when she asked how she could get it up to 113 mph, that was EPIC!! Great job!

[@legionof0ne441]

"That is the sexiest thing you have ever said to me"

[@ceedee20]

Your wife is the bomb!! Love that she was so into it and asking for more speed (113 mph to be specific) at the end! I mean, you have to oblige her 😉

[@chargerscatpack]

That was the best part!😀

[@jerrygaona6162]

Totally loved the interaction between husband and wife and the mutual support. Not to mention "how can we ours up to 113" and your smile afterwards

[@coldbud3]

We all need a wife like yours! Congrats to both of you, great racing!

[@marksantos2276]

Alex that was AWESOME and your wife is one amazing lady. LOVE her enthusiasm and how you two work together. AMAZAING

[@mIkeyGermita]

Oh man was this awesome to watch. Been loving your channel over the years. Your wife asking how you can get to 113 is marriage goals then your smile right after that, oh man. Can't wait to see how this build progresses!!!

[@cornbeltslayer9857]

You guys are great together im impressed with the calm demeanor even while drag racing my wife would have been yelling at me after the first run!

[@BlazedOrange29]

This was the most wholesome amazing video I’ve seen in forever! Your wife is amazing from nervous to alright how do we go faster 😂 Wish I could like this twice

[@shelbylancer454]

I love the expression on your wife’s face when she launches the truck! It’s awesome watching someone race for the first time! Great vid as usual.

[@jerrygaona6162]

I was gonna say the same thing. Watching her get bug eyed and focused was sooo cool. I was grinning the whole time watching this video. Good job, loved it

[@DaddyMack001]

As much as I love your other videos, dude, this one just had me smiling THE whole time. Your Wife is amazing and the interaction between you two, amazing. Also, I LOVE how Peter magically disappears at 4:18 🤣🤣🤣

[@danieldrouin6857]

The face she makes when lunching the vehicle is priceless. Nice job guys, I can't wait to some more mods and drag racing.

[@Golo1949]

Can her eyes get any bigger 😂

[@farangatang]

Honestly this was such an enjoyable video! She's hooked! I think with a pulley, header back exhaust, and a more aggressive tune as well as a TCU tune you're going to run 12.8s all day long!

[@TheZakk28]

Love how much you support your wife. Great to see her crush the runs. Now… let’s get some more power in that Escalade and we need to see her in the 12’s 💯🙌🏾

[@scudzuki]

The look on your wife's face was priceless. She's hooked. I recently SCed my G37X (AWD) 7AT (Stillen kit plus full 2.5" dual exhaust w/ HFCs) and did a mail in tune. Had it dynoed by a local Subie shop (closest 4 wheel dyno) and it peaked at 405 HP at 7200 (300 tq from 3000 to 7200) but I think it pulls right to 7800 so peak HP may be more than measured. Ran it at Maple Grove a few weeks back. The trans sucks for drag racing, it stalls at 1600 RPM WOT foot on the brake and upshifts are slow (around .3 seconds according to the log data). Not bad for my first time at the dragstrip in neary 40 years (and back then I was running bikes) as my last run of the day was a 12.966@110. 12 second car... I'll take it.

[@evilcam]

29:35 - The moment he knows she's hooked, and that he now has a wife who might be as into racing as he is from that day forward. Her competitive side coming out made him beyond happy. You can see the moment of realization on his face.

[@lyndonodonnell5295]

Great video. Everyone so happy! Peter makes me smile every time. 🇦🇺

[@LargeKnives]

29:36 .... The "Yesssss" face haha. This was a freaking great video. Some people are just easy to like, and everyone in this video is one of those people. What a great job for the first time at the track too. I don't care what anyone says, almost everyone feels those butterflies the first time.

[@djwxrld9829]

[@MrJcalabrese1969]

I just love how your wife was like omg and the look on her face was priceless and in the end she got her confidence built up and for her to run a 13.2, well little lady you are with out a doubt a winner in my book. Keep up the great work and hope to see you and your wife doing more racing fix the transmission and do some head and cam work on the caddy and you will have a nice quick ride.

[@crazyfrank3866]

Yes I believe if you can hit 100 down the track you gotta have a helmet cause I definitely wouldn’t wanna crash at 100 mph in an 8-9k pound suv at 110mph without some safety lol

He was a bit of a dick claiming it was unmodified before making the bet, then taking the money anyway after listing all the mods & admitting to the tune. Oh well, I guess the engine will bust at some point so the $50 will help towards repairs.

I hope she will work her way up to racing the Camaro, would love to see what time she could run! Didn't expect to say that about someone after their first time on the drag strip.

[@murmur3966]

That was a blast to see your wife's face when she launched, because it was a combo of some fear in the beginning, then a fierce and aggressive expression, because she was trying to get the E to go faster. I am new to your channel and I can't wait to see what you and she can make the Kid/Grocery mobile do at the track the next time out. If you take it to a tune shop they might be able to control the shift ranges and boost her power way up for the track. It looked like she did really really good and beat that guy off the line in manual, so if she could manual shift she could have beaten him easily. You also need new "MOM" merch like some T-shirts with a picture of the Escalade tricked out with fat racing slicks that says: [ 100Mph MOM ] or [ I GET GROCERIES & 13sec 1/4 MILE ] or Picture of her In bumber to bumper traffic yelling [ "OUT OF THE WAY I'M LATE FOR THE TRACK" ] or Like she said to you in the video [ "HOW DO WE MAKE MINE GO FASTER" ]

[@therealdojj]

i used to drag my sleeper at traffic lights, no one expected it my granny used to whoop with joy every time she was in the motor with me, one of those great memories 😁 edited to say mine ran 12 dead 1/4's at 115 mph so i reckon the escalade might dip into the 12's
