Will Our 1968 Dodge Charger Go 10s?? Rum Runner's FASTEST Pass At Hot Rod Garage Day Famoso

[@jeffreyvietzke228]

63 year old retired mechanic and gearhead here: running 11s while rowing a stick? Respect. There IS hope for the ‘younger generation’. Keep on kick in’ ass!

[@davidmorisset2396]

2975 lbs will look great in Gold 👍🏼 Just a suggestion put Bumble bee stripe on the rear with Gnarly Speed logo in it ? Black stripe !

[@TheSaxon25]

@@davidmorisset2396 dude that's a great idea. That would be insane. Gnarly logo on one side and tiki mask on the other 🤙

[@rong4189]

Haha, when you hear an old car is a fiberglass replica, like a 41 Willys, or a ‘32 Ford, it’s like “Oh well, not as good as a real one” But that glass ‘55? That’s awesome!

Right? It's so perfect

Very cool show and was awesome to see Danny get his new PB in Rum Runner. Great job filming and being an awesome crew chief/supporter Liv. You guys are an amazing couple. I'll take a wild guess of 3,250 for the weight, I think I'm way over, but thanks for sharing the adventure. 🍻

Great job you'all. cars looking good sounding good I'm thinking you get that Side Glass in and you'll be in the 10s. The air turbulence is acting like a parachute . Good job take care

Thank you for the great video... loved all of the sweet rides. A ten second run is in your future for sure. ( Congrats on the low 11s ) Car Weight : Off the top of my head, I'd say..... 3450 LBS Thank you again for the fantastic racing action ✌️😎

I say 3147lbs and I really enjoyed the footage! You got yourselves a really fun car.

[@davidcallahan5157]

Awesome job on last pass your learning the car, didn’t break and had smile !

[@OdySlim]

Congratulations on the 11:18/ 125mpg! Maybe one day when the air is perfect you will drop into the 10's. Fine for to the both of you for the job well done

[@patferaco9499]

I love you guys and at the end of the video you took the words right out of my brain. After watching you race - the only thing holding you from running 10's is totally the launch and shifting speed. Practice, practice, practice, your shifting Danny. Slap them gears and move that clutch foot brother, you'll get there for sure my man :o) weight guess 3127 lbs.

[@dallasmatney8526]

3236 lbs. You guys are doing such a good job. Keep it running.

[@aladornetto1124]

Great job guys, you did a fantastic job racing and taking the video. It’s great to see old school shifting gears. I would say the car weighs about 3,150. Once again awesome job

[@jmendo2546]

Man, 3:49 the guy that drove 2,600 miles from florida with his dog. Wow just Wow in a 32 Ford coupe Big block chevy with a blower straight headers exiting right by the door, stock looking suspension. He is a He man the Heat from the engine/ sound of exhaust at Highway speed Im surprized he could hear what you were saying/ practically no suspension his back and legs have to be aching ..But he's made it there 👍Danny Great Job on the 11: 18 run I kept thinking your losing all your time in Shifts you figured it out, now you just have to get off the line better 60foot you should make the 10 second run 👍🏆Maybe do some tire pressure changes. Car probably weighs 3,228 its hard to judge because QA1 suspension not a factory K-member/ torsion bars or control arms. It also depends on How much gas is in Gas tank at the time its weighed.

[@ericmoon5422]

3275lbs . Congratulations guys , love the vibe of your videos. Maybe someday I’ll make to the west coast. Stay safe and keep having fun.

[@deaneads3098]

You should have a small race tank in the trunk to fill with high octane race gas that you switch to to drag then use the regular tank to drive on. That's how some of the race week drivers do back east.

Hahah you guys are too much fun! First & last time we remove a double beadlock though 🤣

[@R86Quad]

3,337lbs Great job at the track!! the engine even sounds throutier than it previously did. i have a strong feeling that if you were to "speed shift" when ripping through the gears that you'd easily break the 10 second mark. keep doing what you do!! F5

[@SamFoster-o3u]

Hi! Look forward to watching your videos every week. I would say Rum Runner weighs in at 3410. Also you should put in windows because the air that gets into the car hits that back window and traps the air. That’s why trucks lay down the tailgates when they race.

[@seabee8454]

Awesome car! Can't wait to see the finish paint! Thanks for the great content! 3160?

[@markbrown6236]

3250. edit,beat Olivia, great race commentary as usual, and now with run times shown. Thank you. I've asked before, what is the gas milage. I quit asking, but Danny brought it up in the video.

I was there racing. In one segment of your video, I could see the corner of my car. Olivia you walked by with your back to me at my car. I saw you several times, you were always busy and in a hurry. I got to see Danny make the last pass in Rum Runner.

[@michaeltoone2305]

How about 3150 on the weight

[@elijah2078]

Great Job Danny!!! When you see that 60-foot time closer to 1.50 you will be in the 10's. As you have said, It's in the launch and that car is very capable of those 10's!!!! My guess of Rum Runners weight is 3278 lbs.

[@RChillbillies]

3230 lbs. Love your show!

[@dennisnbrown]

The last run was cool man. Get a shift light. I believe you shifted early 3 and 4. That was your 10.9. Keep up the good work

3,030 lbs Great Job , seat time pays off. Getting to know the car, track temp, tire pressure, and weather temp etc.

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

I'm guessing 3285 lbs. I have the exact same scales. I have had them for 5 years and they work perfectly. No wires to deal with they are awesome. I'm a physics guy. Put some windows in and you will get your 10's. Right now your windows are like little parachutes. Physics makes you faster. Your doing great and I love your channel. Thank you for your time.

[@rexwilcox7067]

3226 llbs. Good Luck getting into the 10s. Keep up the good work!

[@clintwatters9131]

Are you running a stage three clutch? Adjust transmission linkage that may give you a more solid transmission engagement that way you can stay in it through second gear

[@Vipto69]

Love that camper nice size

[@lugnard6674]

3318 lbs. Great vid and that last pass was a killer. I wonder if you did not get the tires so hot...like a less of a full burn out ,if you could come out of the hole stronger and not have to slip the clutch. What rpm are you shifting at? You will for sure hit the 10"s at some point.

[@Papaw_Vin]

[@ultimatejay]

Need to set up a two step to launch from, that way you can floor the gas pedal and it will dial in a specific rpm that you can change to get the best launch. YOu can trigger it with a button on steering wheel.
