Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 1: We Race Turbo Uncle Rob Against a Range Rover SVR! (Super Sleeper)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The driver discusses the event, Rocky Mountain Race Week, and shares that it's 'Uncle Rob's' first quarter-mile pass. He mentions taking all the seats out of the back of the SUV, a 'YUKON XL' model, to reduce weight by 'a couple hundred pounds,' hoping for a 12-second pass. He then recounts his experience from the previous year, sleeping in the back of his Cadillac Escalade to save money on hotels and using friends' hotel showers. This year, he's staying in a 'Days Inn' hotel, as sleeping in the vehicle with his partner Logan would be too uncomfortable. He needs to load up the cooler and head to the track.

Goal: Prepare the vehicle for racing and manage travel logistics for the event.

Tools and materials

  • Cooler — Storing drinks and food for the event
  • GMC Yukon XL GMC — The race vehicle, modified for weight reduction
  • Ice — Keeping cooler contents cold
