Freiburger's Final Run Down at MIR Raceway in the 1968 Big-Block 440 Dart! | Roadkill
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
With the 440 Dart from Roadkill Garage in hand, Freiburger and Finnegan meet up with Vice Grip Garage and Roadworthy Rescues owner Derek Bieri to take a 1968 big-block Dart known as “El Dart-O” on a tire-smoking road trip that includes a final run down Memphis International Raceway and some hair-raising passes down George Ray’s Wildcat Dragstrip.

As a Memphian I was really sad when they closed MIR. Stupid rezoning so many fun years there. Of drags and midnight madness with drifting and test and tunes. So sad. 😢

Certainly have missed Finnegan and Freiburger since Roadkill moved to a pay to stream platform. This little snippet is truly magic. Reminds me of why I loved that youtube show. Adding a Guy into the mix? Truly the glitter in the magic. I am so happy that Derek is friends with these two. This video sits perfectly and makes my world a happy place to be.
Two legendary mechanics who both had humble beginnings on their KZread shows. 😊
This track is so cool because of the added danger factor.Nerves of steel and a good set-up takes precedent over the faster car in a lot of cases here, it seems.Definitely good practice for true street racing. It`s fun to see the YT community interact with the big guys.
The collab I always wanted, and ALWAYS needed Thank you MotorTrend for delivering this masterpiece! More please!!

@@davidphillips3953 not a problem, i haven't kept up on RK, but i thought I remember a "joker slid into the deck", that F'berg had found a big block dart that reminded him of PCT...or that the seller had built something based on that series of magazine articles. i will confess to a Dart "bent" myself, my father inherited his aunt's chicken farm and rented it out to a fella who collected 340 darts before the prices went off, and my second apartment in college had a pair of Dart Gt's converted to 440 status for sale on the front lawn. seems like around here at least, the days of cheap darts and novas are gone--its just the ford falcons now.
Don't ask me why but I have never watched vise grips before but I think that is about to change.
Love Derek's channels. True American! This was really a great episode of some of my Favorite people to watch; wish Steve Dulcich was in this one too, lol. Sadly there are a lot of "small" tracks closing. It would be nice to be able to save them, and re-open them. Motor Trend has a lot of great shows, for sure. Unfortunately, they canceled Junkyard Gold with Steve Magnante. It was quite educational.
This was enjoyable seeing the crossover interaction between Dave, Mike and Derek. It reminded me of Derek visiting Lance and Kyle Bush. I hope we can see more of this

Bro the 1968 Dodge Dart is my absolute favorite dream car because I had one before I put my blood sweat and tears in her but it wasn't enough and had to let her go. Was the second car I had,the first was 1966 Dodge Corrennet but I'm a 68 baby so that Dart is forever ♾️ Thank you guys for doing this ❤ you Rock 🤘🏽
The best two shows on this platform!
Dudes! Whole lotta history in that one. Nice!
As a GM guy thru and thru I've Always loved the 1968/1969 Dart bodies and drivetrains! Hopefully, maybe, possibly, with luck and a dream I might own one someday. It would most likely look just like this too
TALK ABOUT AN AUTOMOTIVE DREAM TEAM!! IM IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW!! Carry on

SO I'm watching a mixture of both channels, then this played by itself after I quit pickin'..I'm like, wait, what..they're in the same room all in a sudden, then The Burgermeister says Derek has a new show? WHHAAAAT! Yes! SO Much win!😎👍👍
All the right guys in this one. You want content MotorTrend? Here’s your show , here’s your guys
Just think 30 some years ago It all started with a magazine article showing hose clamp used for a trans mount....🤣😂😅 Been a fan since the beginning
I've found whenever you weld a center....weld it till you think its enough-then double that (then add a whole bunch more). They always break loose somehow. (probably something to do with the metal compositions and the forces involved)
Awesome Vid!!
Not a Chrysler fan butt love it all day long. Thankz
Love the 440
Nice love it!
VGG & FRYBURGER,AWESOME!!!! 👍
This is gold
I've got a huge soft spot for what you in America called a Dart, my father had one for years over here, Rj in Oz
Nice!!!
Very very COOL
MIR? Thought MD International.Raceway, got me excited for a bit! Like when my son.told me he saw Blasphemi rolling down the road nearby.

can't wait to catch up with these guys at duct tape drags
Dodge dart!! My favorite car!!
I use to love watching Roadkill on KZread. 😪
Extra Derek for the win.
Sea green tyre smoke is rad!!!
Nice ride frieburger
THE GURUS
MOPAR for life .👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️
This is like that Batman and Robin TV episode when they partnered with the Green Hornet and Kato.
The look on Derek's face was like the Mob coming to collect a 'donation'...
These three need a show together
The fact there was an episode with all y’all 3 in to made the show
i ran at george rays one time in the early 90's it still looks the same
Next time weld a shim in with the spider gears itll last longer ;)
Get there, have fun. See you at the Duct Tape Drags !
How you explain an open rear end is "equal torque goes to both wheels but their individual rpms can be anything that - added together - add up to the ring gear rpm".
wow is that the original motor home 440 from years ago?!!!
"I cant see you!" "That's 'cause I'm not here!"
Holy spidy gears
Yall were at the track not far from where I live and I missed it🤦🏻
This could possibly be the dream team! Maybe add Kevin from JYD and Dulcich and have a little Donut Media sprinkled in.
VGG Rules
my buddy I work with has a 1969 dodge dart with a factory 440 magnum, we just got it running today after sitting for 3 years, runs like a champ just needs a new paint job
I'm only watching because Derek is in this episode.
Real Roadkill antics welded diff 😂
413 wedge out of a Winnebago motor home in a '71 Dodge Dart with a 727tourqeflite and 3.23 gears. Great burn out cars but definitely not very fast.
Goodness, had a 68 dart gt that same color brown, was a 383 4spd, don't know if was original or not but that's how I got it
Nice car! Is a 67 Belvedere with a bored and stroked 440 this car’s long lost cousin?

Stock non high performance 440's ran 12's in A bodies..We ran 12.10's with a 72 duster with a 68 440 from a C body those are 350 hp rating not the higher power versions...We ran a 72 low compression smog 440 to a high 12 in the same car! The 68 440 even had one cyl at 110 for compression and it ran 12.10's..4.10 gears good convertor,traction full interior street car! Was a Duster Twister 318.
I can only like this trio once why not 3 for me?? 😂
