Season 11 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2023 - 2024
Episode 1
Typhoon Rollin' In
Fri, Sep 8, 202343 mins
HRG is back and so is our 80/90s Super-Truck, the granddaddy of go-fast SUVs, our '92 Typhoon!. Rod knock will be a thing of the past as Alex and Lucky refresh the drivetrain and pit it head to head against today's top-of-the-line, ultra-lux, supercharged people-mover.
Episode 2
Solving Crimes & Clocking Times
Fri, Sep 15, 202343 mins
Last year's newly minted annual holiday, HRG Day, was a wild success for everyone but the Bonemaro, the Crown Hic, and the Savoy. All three came home hurt, and Hot Rod detectives Alex and Lucky are on the case to find out why. But more important, they're out to serve justice by finally putting a quarter-mile time on the Red-Eye-powered, big-tire Savoy.
Episode 3
To Achieve a Goal, Set a Goal
Fri, Sep 22, 202343 mins
This time on Hot Rod Garage, Alex and Lucky explore new territory in the world of land speed racing and continue down a well-worn path with the Bonemaro. But more than the cars, this one is all about goals: setting personal targets on the dry lake beds of El Mirage and (fingers crossed) breaking personal bests running the Bonemaro into the nines.
Episode 4
The ICE-Cold Return of Project X
Fri, Sep 29, 202343 mins
If you know Project X, this is probably the episode you've been waiting for. After years of living a very polarizing existence with an electric motor swapped between its frame rails, Alex and Lucky have finally been given the go-ahead to bring it back to its glory days as a gas-huffing machine. As a long-running test mule of the latest trends, there is no better way to bring Project X back than a simple 1,0000-hp crate 632 from GM. After all, what's more modern that four-digit horsepower just a click away?
Episode 5
Grand Trashional Earns a New Name!!
Fri, Oct 6, 202343 mins
Our long disappointed Grand National has FINALLY earned its keep here at Hot Rod Garage. With whiff after whiff at the dragstrip we pulled out all the stops, called a few friends, and finally got to the bottom (end) of what's been holding us back. But with a proper foundation intact at last, there is no longer a question of what's wrong, but rather why stop now?
Episode 6
Roadkill Nights Is Back!!
Fri, Oct 13, 202342 mins
Roadkill Nights is back, and so is our '55 Savoy!. We're heading back to Pontiac, MI, for all the street-legal drag racing action on Woodward, but this time we're competing in the Big Tire class. That means faster cars, better drivers, and a real need to step up our game. We're coming out swingin' with a built Powerglide, some fresh stickies, extra power, and proper testing this time on Hot Rod Garage.
Episode 7
Burnt Reynolds
Fri, Oct 20, 202343 mins
Who doesn't love a '79 Trans Am? We do, and so does Derek from Roadworthy Rescues. He also seems to like us just enough to let us play with his 'Bird when he was done with it. The only problem is the little engine fire that ignited on its way over to us. So before we can get to our plans of big power and smoky burnouts, we have to re-roadworthy Derek's rescue before we can live out our smoky dreams.
Episode 8
Land Speed Field Test
Fri, Dec 22, 202344 mins
Our '32 Roadster land speed car is finally starting to take shape, and it's ready to take its maiden voyage down the dry lake bed of El Mirage. That is, of course, if the lake bed stays dry. Weather aside, our flathead V-8 sings the song of our forebears in celebration of 75 years of Hot Rod magazine.
Episode 9
Buggin' Out!
Fri, Dec 29, 202344 mins
Can a dime-a-dozen Beetle be called a hot rod? That's the question Alex and Lucky set out to answer as they take a well-worn Beetle and start it down the road to a Cal-look cruiser. They're cheap, easy to modify and have parts support galore. So you tell us: Is a Beetle a hot rod?
Episode 10
Typhoon Times Two
Fri, Jan 5, 202443 mins
An all-wheel-drive sport truck should really have all of its wheels driving, right? That's the goal this week as Alex and Lucky upgrade our Typhoon trans and everything from the transfer case forward, bulletproofing parts until the next one fails. Now who's got a lead on a good turbo upgrade?
Episode 11
Busted Burt Combusts Again
Fri, Jan 12, 202443 mins
We may have killed Derek's Roadworthy Rescue'd Trans Am last time, but we're here to make it right -- and to make it better. Enter 455 upgrades for power, a T-56 for shifts, and EFI for all of those hairpin turns, and we've got ourselves the Trans Am of Burt's dreams.
Episode 12
We're Gonna Lose the Shop
Fri, Jan 19, 202443 mins
We're losing the shop, so we have one last, very cool project: a push truck for our Land Speed Roadster. A '57 Chevy panel truck makes the perfect base to clear the HRG Speed Shop's shelves, and it's exactly what you'd see pushing cars on the Salt Flats in the '60s. Not to mention it won't hurt to have it as we move into the new shop.
Episode 13
HRG Day Is Here to Stay!
Fri, Jan 26, 202443 mins

Your new favorite holiday is still full of friends, horsepower and tacos, and this year we're lining up all the newest members of our fleet for dragstrip duty.
