When Richard gets a deal from the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, OK, to build a ’55 Pink Caddy for a 100 grand, it all seems like a sweet deal. Until the monkeys relay that they may not be able to build the car in time for the Casino’s tight deadline, in which Richard could lose 10K each day pass the deadline. Meanwhile, Richard invests in one of the biggest marketing gambles of his life, sponsoring and NHRA team for a 100K.

After a constant wait for parts for the ’55 Pink Caddy, the monkeys make a mad dash to get the car done on time for the Hard Rock Casino or Richard will lose $10,000 a day for every day it’s delayed. Meanwhile, Richard ventures into new territory as his Gas Monkey Dragster hits the Texas Motorplex for the NHRA qualifying runs. Does his team have what it takes to qualify for the race?

When Aaron presents the idea of upgrading Richard’s new ’71 Dodge Scat Pack Challenger R/T that he bought at auction by transplanting the drivetrain from a brand new 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack, Richard agrees to let Aaron tear apart two nearly perfect cars to make it happen, only to realize that this may be the most difficult build the garage has ever faced.
