Team Hemi-Cuda was the 2nd runner-up for Season 3. The father-daughter team from Rolla, Missouri, Mark and Julia Janos, had to compete in 6 elimination challenges during the rally, using the combination of drivers' skill and horsepower to avoid elimination. A miscue on the final day held them up in a major traffic jam between Alameda and San Francisco. The time lost there, coupled with the time bonuses that teams NSX and Lambo earned in the final challenge, cause Team Hemi-Cuda to finish a full hour and two minutes behind Team Lambo, earning the 3rd place overall finish.
