Roadkill Garage (2016)
S01E02 Wrenching for Speed in the Roadkill Crop Duster!
Episode Overview
In episode 40 of Roadkill, hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan teamed up with Steve Dulcich to rescue a ’70 Plymouth Duster stuck in mud at Dulcich’s farm. After fitting it with a big-block Mopar, they achieved a quarter-mile time of 12.34 seconds. Now back in Roadkill Garage, the Crop Duster has been upgraded with a powerful 500-horsepower 383 engine. Recently returned from Hot Rod magazine’s Drag Weekend, it faced issues like a wiring fire and fuel delivery problems, resulting in a disappointing 12.06-second run. Freiburger and Dulcich tackle these challenges with enthusiasm, aiming for that elusive 11-second timeslip.
