Will I SURVIVE? Taking on the Missouri GAMBLER 500!

We take our modified Mercury pile of garbage a couple hundred miles away to attempt to destroy the Low Budget Off-Road racing machine that was built to participate in the GAMBLER 500 "Missourah Endurah" September Sender event (mogambler500.com/) at the Hooter Holler Off Road Mountain Grove in Missouri. Will the low-budget race car survive? Will Dalton survive?

Weld a cage in it and put a full length roof rack that should keep you dry! Another awesome video keep up the great work ✌

You can buy all the aftermarket body panels to make your own 1969 charger and build yourself a General Lee!!!! Maybe even jump it? I know someone has already done that with a crown Vic but i don't believe it was really documented plus it would just be cool as hell to have one even if it isn't a real one lol it will still look like the real thing from the outside. 👍🏼

Whiskey coffee's would of kept you warm Mr. Rode a 77 Suzuki 1000 back from Romania to uk a good few moons back. Got everything bar the kitchen sink AND WATERPROOFS! on the bike. Doh!. Pissed it down all the way home. Wild camping. No hotel money. A litre bottle of homemade whiskey donated by some kind Romanian family saved our bacon i reckon. No shit. Gamble on Mr. I love your videos ❤

I watch different people do this event for the last couple years and I always thought it was really good idea get a bunch of beaters I have to do this crazy trip with them it just looks like a bunch of fun. I know this episode is going to be epic.

That return journey, was the most completely off-the-wall piece of filming I think that I've ever seen!! Kudos brother and don't you dare do it again, without telling us.... Made me recall my 20s before I met the other half. See you around! ! ! 😆🤓👍

Looked like a fun time and I'd be down for cruising in that Merc. Reminds me of the good ol days Country cruzzin in my buddy's K5 Blazer..the roof came off at the windshield. 5 people comfortably numb with a couple cases of wobble pops and a big bag of happiness listening to CCR. Everybody was dustier than Hell and our hair was like a wire brush. Good Times and nobody got hurt! Keep the Merc as is..it's built for fun times and great adventures...just stash a Skidoo suit in her when it gets too cold. Thanks for the ride along and Take care Guys!

[@michaelmonday418]

If the guy that you gave a hard time to for hauling his rig there watches your video. He's laughing his butt off! Very entertaining video.

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These promptly escaped a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the government they survive as solders of fortune. If you have a problem, If no one else can help, and if you can find them maybe you can gambler with The B team.

[@vicferrari9380]

I think you should weld A top back on only taller. You could find a sport ute or mini van roof to make a tall roof and the car a hatch back. Make up some tin work to vent the holes in the wheel wells out the back and put some lighting in so it looks like smoke coming out. Maybe put a pair of 8" turndown chrome stacks coming straight out the back and pointing down for the dust to exit thru. You could run the exhaust thru the stacks to help push the dust out. I think it would look cool! And be a bit drier! 🐫👍

[@2509498788]

Thanks for sharing the experience. It was more than experience for you. The t bar roof idea wasn't such a good idea.. So what do you do with this wreck ? Any demolition derbies coming up? Content was good. brother.

I agree make 1 from the two

[@KiwiStag74]

Bud - There's nothing like completing a road trip in something you're wondering whether will actually get there.....and giving it sh** all the way anyway! The Gambler 500 sounds like it would be a blast - especially if you're driving something you don't care about - so doing it in a 30 year old, beat-to-hell-and-gone, ex-daily, otherwise boring tub of lard on four wheels (well, most of the time) thing, with eight cylinders (well, 6 of them or so anyway) has got to be even better. After seeing the track, I have reservations about the roof mods ....as I am sure you do too, now....but it all adds to the experience and fun of the event, eh? If alternately being dusted, wet, dusted again, frozen and open to all elements can be considered "fun" of course!

I found that I'd been subconsciously keeping an eye on your air filter all throughout. It's hard to believe that you forgot to pack a tarp for the top. If you were to take out the back window, you might pick up quite a few mpg and mph.
