"Race Day"

The RSD/FMF DeLorean did exactly what we expected at the L.A. RedBull Races this last weekend....it blew the doors off of every vehicle out there!

Check out the second part of the DeLorean build and find out what happens after the flux capacitor reaches its required 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power!!!

This spectacular event will be airing this Saturday after the L.A. Kings game at around 6:45pm on FSN (Fox Sports Network).
