Can THIS Lifted Smart Car beat THAT Off-Road Recovery Jeep XJ in a Dirt Drag Race?

[@TwoTrakMind]

"If i lose, i lose." Now thats a true racer.

Just needs a damnit. True racers love damnit. Don’t believe me? Go to any pit at any track. The language ain’t there terrible. But you’ll hear “damnit” from under almost every car 😂

thnx

[@shahab_shawn_siahpoosh]

The true spirit of the sportsmanship. Most racers in their flashy $200,000+ cars come up with every excuse and tricks. These guys are like "whatever", "if I get beat, I get beat." Loved it.

[@boznorris527]

That second race had the slowest ending I had ever seen hahahaha funny ASF 😂

[@unittwophoto]

"one ton axles" "ah cool so are they out of like a 3/4 ton?" "they are out of a one ton."

[@moogle68]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how clueless that host seemed. IDK who he is, can't say I've seen (or maybe just not _noticed_ ) him in this series before, but he definitely has no business doing any more "Build Breakdowns", like.... ever. I'm a somewhat awkward person IRL, and even I found that breakdown/interview *_painfully_* awkward. He just kept asking the most basic questions possible, and for some reason started to mumble incoherent responses to _his own questions_ whenever the build owner started to reply. His "Prediction" was so generic and weak compared to the others that it was unintentionally, ironically funny. You've got to be able to put out more personality and subject knowledge than that if you are gonna be front and center on camera for a bit like that.

If I may recommend something . The whoops at/near the end of the track are to aggressive and do not bring excitement to the over all race. Maybe smooth them out into a tabletop in which would make for an over all faster track. Along with more exciting racing. Edit: Please survive this time of American economic crisis Hoonigan.
