luckys-stuff.m...
It’s happening and you can be part of it-the HOT ROD Power Tour West officially returns in 2024, exploring new roads and locations over five days. Mark your calendars and submit your vacation time as HOT ROD will be cruising October 7 - 11 from Southern California through the desert and finishing in Arizona. Registration opens in July with several levels of packages and daily activities as we get out and cruise through the western United States.
Our tour will kick off where it began as NHRA once again left the keys to the gates for the famed In-N-Out Burger Pomona Drag Strip. We will be serving drag racing as the day’s special activity, giving participants a rare opportunity to make laps on the world-famous track. The tour moves south on Tuesday, to San Diego, where we will take over Pechanga Arena. We have a strong feeling that hump day on tour will be better than any day at work and the group will move north to Riverside County Fairgrounds (Indio, California). The fourth day is a beach day, but the sandy shoreline is in Lake Havasu, Arizona at Lake Havasu State Park. The final leg of the trip takes us to the Radford Racing School in Chandler, Arizona. We will also be hosting an autocross at this venue.
KICKOFF / Day 1: Monday, October 7 - In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, Pomona, Calif. (feat. drag racing) Gates Open 9AM

Things we learned today: 1) Mr Lucky's miracle rubber remover! Even used to re- attach rubber to spent tire(s). 2) Build, thrash, break, repeat. P. S Lucky- I try to keep a spare ( or two) of everything " big" ticket; rears, blocks, etc. I don't like to be down for long or at the mercy of deliveries. ... But I don't have a FLEET, either. Just sayin'

[@T-bone1950]

Lucky takes pride in how his car looks. I'm glad his appearances on ROADKILL didn't change that. 😊

[@charliesarabia8246]

Always a good time Lucky .. best part is you got away clean from duct tape drags .. see ya soon ..and be safe

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thank you!

[@davehanson1417]

"I'm not necessarily a conservative driver." Bwahahahahaha! Best line in this video and what we all love about you! And sorry to hear about the breakage.

[@hoagsmash4188]

Tech tip: Rubber on a quarter panel can be neutralized by more rubber. Hitting the old with the new cancels each other out and they just fall off! 😉😆

[@hedrives]

Great video. Living the Lucky life.

[@Czechbound]

*"That will get you all the way to the scene of the fire .... "* ... haha, a *GOLD* zinger. I love the car park walk around of those beautiful/ crazy cars. All the best and greetings from Prague, CZ

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thanks for watching

[@looneylonzo28]

I hope to see some more episodes where you and Tony collaborate and build stuff I know geographically it makes it difficult just saying it would be nice. I caught the recent little build you and him did with the van. Thank you lucky for your time you’re truly lucky.😂

[@dennisthurman8161]

Hey Lucky im really glad you guys that were all on either roadkill or hot rod garage or faster with Finnigan or Newbern and Cotton or Dulchic or Tony Angelo and Friberger ,and of course Alex and yourself all have you tube channels and cant forget Vice grip garage i mean who needs tv when i have all you guys to follow ,keep em coming and get rhat Chevelle fixed up shes a pretty cool fast machine.See ya on the next video!

[@davidfriedline7525]

That sucks Lucky , sorry your rear end got hurt ! Told you about shaking your ____ ! Oh no the cars rear 😮! Well you do go fast brother have to figure something is going break eventually! Steering now you kinda need it lol ! Great video up til the noises and steering thought it was a see saw ! Peace and Love !

[@the_langss]

Thanks for the Video..."Discretion is the better part of valor" You made a very wise decision. I know first hand what can happen when a "Rear Wheel Bearing" decides to fail... I got lucky and it only cost me $500 and a trailer rental...it could have been much worse. So you'll make the next one...👍👍👍👍

[@DriveWay_Yonkez]

J-chevelle we need to get on ur car 🚗 u always holding it down!!! Wish we all had a great team like you and lucky 🍀

[@roylyle4339]

sorry about your weekend being cut short but you always have good contact I enjoy getting up early in the morning and looking at your Adventures!!

[@tonykemper8896]

Rudy’s is the best! I just ate there this morning, she’s always in my bubble giving hugs!!

[@toddclark332]

Good morning to you guys hope you have a great Saturday ok later

[@robertbedford572]

Hey lucky sorry to hear that the rear end went out and that leaking we saw on the ground at the hotel ended up shortening up the trip oh well, I had fun chatting with you sir thanks for the conversation and photo.

[@codywrites]

Dude. Your bucket is my dream. My grandpa had a '66. Love that body style!

[@waynemurphy8363]

Dude! Just convince HRG that you and Alex need to do a rear axle repair / setup episode.And... You got farther than I did. I was trying to get to SnapDragon stadium (formally QUALCOMM) but my mustang started to run rough the day before the event; and I have been chasing mis-fires on all 8 cylinders of my 3 valve since then. Maybe a new tee for you -- Livin the Lucky life!

[@tyv6]

Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your Power Tour experience. Cut short but stuff happens.

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thanks for watching!

[@E_JIM3N3Z11b]

The best channel on yt hands down

[@luckysgarageshow]

Appreciate that!!

[@harrynutz4550]

I hope to see you there 👍

[@gcrauwels941]

Your approach to car finish is spot on. Wipe it down and it's show ready. Love your car style Lucky.

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thanks 👍

[@RexCars1]

Sorry the Chevelle quit.. BUT.. Glad no major damage... LFL.. lead foot lucky.... Really looking forward to seeing some new HRG Episodes ... and .. I'm sure that when it's done the " ChevHell " will be " Better, Stronger, Faster "... Carry On

[@bradpierce674]

You know, if you get one of those expensive ceramic coatings, the rubber will just fall right off, Lol. Love the videos.

[@RAGSDMC-t9t]

My bad, you got it. Im sad but silent. U got it!! I can't come back. I do record my bedroom for the seizures but you GOT IT! Like fr. Idk im not laughing but u know that.U got it

[@RightHandy13]

Great way to start my Saturday morning. Thanks Lucky

[@coreysweigart4290]

Great video! Thank you, Lucky!

[@dekcali2000]

Hi Lucky, sorry to hear that you broke down. Great to meet you at snapdragon Stadium on power tour.

[@crabappleracer]

Learned this while off-roading, if you play hard always count on maintenance required later…😅

[@dennisgallear409]

Yep we immortal🙂

[@051570orion]

Always wanted to go on power tour , but just doesn't seem like that's ever going to happen, but I'm optimistic, good video 👍if my bank account and life would ever cooperate maybe I could go but they don't seem to get along . Lol

[@bobzotzman5253]

I had the brake light sender in one of those Ford single pot master cylinders short out thankfully while I was stopped at a light. The pedal just started coming up then it popped and I was able to get the parking brake on before I hit the car in front of me. Glad it shorted while I was stoped not stoping.

[@lancehowlett3910]

Had one of those switch’s short,it would kill the battery over night.

[@johnpowell9169]

Still waiting to see you on Drag Week .

[@jasonrogers3484]

Sorry to hear about the breakdowns. We had to tow our El camino home from Indio. Hope to see you next year!

[@stingray427man]

Me gusta carnage shot as vid begins ✊️🤙

[@daleyhanson5889]

Sometimes we. Sew the wind "" and later we reap the whirlwind "" Still a great video Lucky, looked like some good times, 😅

[@michaelteasdale2919]

Here in Australia I use Prepsol (wax grease remover) for burnout rubber on paint. And the real full on burnout guys use what we call here clear contact…it’s a really thin sticky clear plastic That you’d wrap your text books in in high school.

[@luckysgarageshow]

Great tip!

[@richardelliott8352]

this video stimulated my interest . seeing as how I am not a big dog, I will google the approximate cost of the event, and maybe show up in the future. I won't be one of the guys with my hood up, stock does everything I need, except save on gas around town.

[@bmwpete65s55]

Somebody's boat is missing a motor....🤣

[@gatoreye2000]

Are you sure you didnt let Tony drive the Chev-helle?

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Stuff happens. But it can all be fixed. Can you imagine seeing that Impala in your rearview mirror.? If you had to go to a Hot Wheels signing. Does that mean they are gonna make Hot Wheels from one of your cars/truck.? I hope it's the one of your wagons. Back when I was a kid we would pass by the Hot Wheels HQ. on the way to see my Great Aunt and Uncle that lived in Paso Robles. I miss them a lot .They where such a hoot to be around. They sure didn't act their age. 6=8.

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

Great video Lucky, sorry about Chevhelle I know you`ll get`er going again. O,K.bye

[@luckysgarageshow]

Thanks 👍

[@wunderkind56]

What was the product that was used to clean up the rubber?

[@MrXdaltonxp]

93 octane will take it off fenders as well, then apply french fry resiadue

[@robertoconell2111]

Hi Lucky great content. Question, where do creator’s get the back ground music for their videos? Is it AI generated? Also any videos on axle and axle bearings on the chevelle would be awesome. I’m having a hell of a time finding axle bearings for my 70 GM 8.2 rearend.

[@Mgnostic]

The price of livin' the hot rod life, some times ya gotta fix it.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Keep your hands on your wallet when cottens around....

[@johnlee8231]

On the next episode of hot rod garage Lucky and Alex at the salon getting a mani/petty?

[@CycloneTS1]

Just another day with the Chevhelle, eh Lucky?? What was the spray you used to remove the rubber from the quarter panel?

[@luckysgarageshow]

Brake Clean

[@jeffmooers2174]

Lucky's stress test! Another victim!

[@mando7789]

If it don’t break, that means you are not having fun with your toy. You only live once.

[@filipewilson1842]

What’s the secret sauce Lucky? Brakeclean?

[@jodyandmichelle1]

The car culture in Cali is enough to make me want to live there.

[@barneywing9876]

I painted my 1985 chevy S10 that I put in a 383 stroker with a 5 speed manual transmission black so it wouldn't show the black rubber.

[@luckysgarageshow]

Nice!

[@henrybrundage7186]

Say Lucky are you trying to live in days gone by from your youth because I don’t believe that those stains on your door are from french fries but you trying to do a dukes of hazzard entrance through the window!

[@matzrat5006]

Speed boat.

[@culloutoltec9111]

ultimate cool you cruisin' on the highway at generic highway speed and you light up the rears giving all the ev's and ev wannabe's around you cardiac arrest...

[@JoseLopez-uu1hu]

Great video guys 👍
