It’s been a minute since the infamous race at the Winternationals between Jon Chase and Mike Finnegan. Both sides had serious problems with their 1955 Chevrolets, but ultimately it was Chase who lost the Kall Out Kings race…and his beard. Now that his facial fuzz is returning back to normal, it’s time that Chase gets back to work on “Tri 5 By Fire”. You don’t just leave well enough alone with a defeat…break, build, and repeat as necessary! That’s the true hot-rodder’s way. Between the thrash work that was done to get the Chevy to Pomona in one piece and the tiny bits that were either ignored or simply not performed for the sake of time, there is a list of items that Chase will need to address before the Chevy is doing better.

Fixing stuff that breaks…simple, right? Does it need a post? Well…yes. This episode does. You see, this isn’t at the Donut Garage, or at the burn pit at Irwindale. You are actually in Chase’s driveway, with his young daughter taking the camera and watching over her father’s shoulder as he makes actual, necessary and needed fixes to the loud race car. We’d be running this video even if he was just getting the reverse lights to work, nevermind actually getting reverse itself to function. Forget timeline drama and smack-talking, this is how real hot-rodding is supposed to look like. It’s how many a kid got into turning wrenches in the first place!
