    What are some of your favorite classic Roadkill moments?

      My favorite moments were when they swore they would never be off of TH-cam. Then they left TH-cam.

    1:30 Blowing through a carburetor is what we used to do with a turbo in the same year this Camaro was made. It was simple and foolproof, just add timing control and rig up your windshield wiper pump to blow in the water/methanol mixture at full boost.

    I'll tell ya something. I have seen SOOOO many roadkill episodes, and watching David try to set the record was pretty difficult to do. I can't imagine wrecking at these speeds . I have never met the guy. I never will. I still love everything he does. He is a class act from start to finish.

    Quite a few years ago I watched a NASCAR race where the finish was Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt. Gordon was in the lead, Earnhardt couldn't get around him, and Gordon took the win. A reporter later asked Earnhardt what happened, and Dale replied "I got beat! That's racing." And this also was racing. You run out of time, you run out of money, and things break.
