Brother, flip was in the passenger seat watching over you. Bc man you're lucky to walk away without any major injuries. Flip was definitely your guardian angel
I met him at NPK BRADENTON Florida last weekend. Many other Drivers with out of control egos, I knew the deal but hoped he would not disappoint me as he is my favorite driver. ABSOLUTE SWEETHEART ❣❣ I was right about LIZZY, let's just say she's a "handful" AND a very poor sport. HOLY CRY BABIES BATMAN!🙄 Poor KYE... also a total sweetheart !!🤗
When you're done tearing it down, Use a punchout die to make little circle keychains out of the metal the car was made of. Sell em, and Flip can roll with us all.
@j J without the viewers watching would of any of us have known who any of them are🤦♂️🤷♂️. Especially people from outside of the States. For those of us that pretty much are never going to meet any of the 405 gang a little piece of history from the show would probs mean more to people than you think. Not saying the roll with us thing but a key chain or somthing like that would be greate for the history of the show remembering those who left there mark on each of us. Plus Kamakazi could throw the money made back to his family or even help sombody else to get there tough ass ride together that way it will always stay the people car...🍻👍👍
Kamikaze... You are a big part of why I have followed the show from the beginning...and you are a Fav for a lot of the Fans! I so look forward to the future with you and your new Car, can't wait!!
My heart goes out to you Chris. Flip must of put in a good words for you letting the race gods know that it wasn't your time. I for one am excited to watch you on your come back. The rise of the people's champ. Your good attitude says so much about what kind of person you are. Keep pushing forward never giving up. And on the days when it gets hard remember that your the lucky one that had the courage to chase the dream. Your fans are here for you. Let us know what you need from us to help. Thank you for not giving up
Just a subtle hint " drag cars don't belong on the street" Only a moron that wants their death to be well documented races 4000hp dragsters on the street.
@@timothyevans4323 who is making rules? Even he knows not crashing is pure luck. But making a big deal about it after is rediculous. Mabey he will make enough on this video to build the next one (you could donate if you want more content like this)
Man I remember when they first asked you if you wanted to get Flip’s old Camino running and drive it. I remember y’all pulling out of the shed out behind the shop and the first time you drove it. Well, at least when it was all first shown on tv. Those damn zoomies coming out of the fenders were SOOOOOOOOO LOUD!!!! Man you have fought hard and put tons of sweat, blood, determination and tears into that car, you did everything you could possibly do, but it’s just time to, as you said, close that chapter and focus on the next one. You will prevail going forward because you seem like a guy who has no quit in you and you have a passion for racing. My son and I are behind you 100% man. Just keep on keeping on and just continue to be you and you will be just fine. Can’t wait to see what’s next for KAMIKAZE!!!
Honestly its awesome to see how down to earth you are man, one of us. That's why we are fans and supporters. Flip would of been happy to know that the ELCO kept you safe buddy
I'm glad you're ok, I hung out with you at Bandimere in Denver in Automation X's skybox. You are by far one of the most humble and down to earth people I have ever met. I will try to do what I can to help get you back out there. This sport needs people like you in it. God Bless
This guy is so cool, love his attitude. I subscribed before even watching his first video. The second I realized he had a channel I was in.. good content or not. Ill listen to him talk. it's been great so far.
@@KamiKazeLife The show doesn't really let us as fans get to "know" yall. The best way for us to "know" yall as drivers is by your personal content. So i think I can speak for us as fans is keep posting, we will watch.
This was the people’s car. We all loved it very much but we are glad you are alive and on this side of the turf buddy. I’d love to buy a piece of the el co and hang it in my garage next to my el co.
Probably my favorite scene through the whole series. OKC goes out of town responding to a callout and finds out the opponents had brought out a couple ringers in full blown( figuratively and literally) Pro Mods. At the drivers meeting, Kamikaze pipes up with "I kinda want the Studebaker". The rest is history.
my dad used to have an El Camino when I was younger and I always had a connection and rooted for that sick flat black Chevy El Camino of yours and also respected your hard work thrashing on the car also driving the hell out of it on the track . Kamikazee you're one of my favorite drivers and Loved that evil ass El Camino .
I am so glad you got a proper cage I used to worry about how fast you were going with the cage you had. So happy that you are healthy and can move on in whatever direction you wish.
I’ve been through an accident that left me with rods in my leg for a year, and them using the paddels to start my heart twice. Talking about the event is just. You’re such a strong man. Thank you for sharing.
Long time fan, so glad you walked away from that absolutely brutal crash. My heart sank when it happened because I know what that car meant to you! Hope and pray you come back even stronger. You have always been there for everyone else, you deserve to be the one helped now.
every single time you post your story its an inspiration to so many people out here and I can't thank you enough for allowing us to be part of your journey through this life
such a good bloke. down to earth and humble. glad you have made a youtube channel and i can see more of what you do.. best of luck with everything. big fan of of you.. from australia!
Dang dude. Glad you are ok. You was the reason I kept watching Street Outlaws. Love El Caminos. And the way you are on the show. If you get back into it, can’t wait to see the next ride. If not, glad you are ok and wish you the best. Stay safe man.
Thanks for including us in this journey sir. Excited to see what you have in the pipe line an grateful you were able to walk away from the Accident. ##DoubleHashbrownsAllDay
Elco did it’s job. You’re still with us and I have no doubt you’ll be ripping and running in something soon. If nothing else it serves as a reminder, safety is so crucial.
Out of all of the street racers I know ad have come across, you are the most humblest and down to earth one I know. I have much respect for you Chris!✊🏽
Been a fan of yours ever since you took over this car. You're a real one, and your hard work and dedication shows. Didn't even know you had a channel until this video popped up in my recommended list, but i instantly liked and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Glad your able to walk away from that. Its a testament to the quality of the build and the amount of safety that is incorporated into yalls cars. I am a huge El Camino fan and have watched you drive that truck since the day Chief gave it to you. I subscribed because of this video. Cant wait to see what comes next. Another El Camino I hope.
Hat is off, Mr Kamikaze. And I really appreciate your plan. That car had a good run. I'm so glad, and proud of the fact that you can admit it's done. I too suggest you should make little tokens of the car for sale. That car has a special place within us all fans of racing, so the best way to keep Flip's Elco still around is to share it with everyone. For You, I know there's faster, smoother rides to take to the winner's circle. Just remember to take us with you through the whole journey.
You are the reason I watch the show. Glad your ok body,mind and spirit.keep up the positive attitude.ive got multiple myeloma bone cancer. And I will never give up
Chris I’ve been a huge of you since the first time I saw you on the show. You are a certified badass man! I’m not alone when I say I’m happy you came out of that huge wreck relatively in good shape and lived to tell the story. You built a stout piece and remarkable safety equipment to be able to rail in to a concrete wall and walk away is simply amazing. I can’t wait to hear and see more from you on this channel I will share it on all my socials and tag friends, you deserve all the page views and so much more.
Heartbroken at the carnage, but glad you're alive and unhurt. As a former 68 SS Elco owner, I had a soft spot in my heart for yours... doing my part to support your program, and wearing my Elco shirt with pride!
I know from my perspective, I can relate to your car because it was flips. He seemed very genuine on the first season of the show. It was great memories to see it ripping again , it was awesome.
Man, I’m glad you’re ok but my heart goes out to you with all the work you put in that thing. I hope to see you out there again brother, many of us will be here rooting for you
Glad your ok after a crash like that! You’ve always been one of my fav racers on the show. Can’t wait to see what u have planned for the future! Wish u the best of luck! Please keep the videos coming!
Happy your ok brother !!! Love the attitude and positivity. I know the car meant a lot to you for many more reasons than the money. Looking forward to more content. Glad you started a channel. Good luck in the future.
After watching the show. Seeing what Flip built that car out of. And then seeing Cheif put you in that car. Gave me chills my man. Then I had the pleasure of meeting you and seeing the car last year at Firebird in Idaho during the NPK. Priceless. Can't wait to see what you do for your next ride. Much love and respect.
Glad to see you are ok, awesome to see that you are going to start a new project and walk us through everything. Will get to know you better and see if possibly there's more salvageable than originally thought.
Man!!! So excited you started your own channel!!! Have been a fan since I first seen ya on the show. You are the one of the coolest of the "Street Outlaws" for sure!!! Glad you made it through the crash okay. Do you think if you would have thrown the laundry out it would have saved you some or all together? Can't wait to see the "Elco" back again. Thank you for the videos!!!
Sir I am just happy that you was able to walk away I have been a fan since season 1 and as the seasons went on the more I picked the drivers that I really think are really cool and of course there are some I just don't care for you are one of the ones I like I think you are a cool stand up guy and in my 49 years of life I read people like a book so like I said I'm glad to see your okay and as soon as I get my project going I hope to see you out there maybe we can his a lick down the road.
I've been a fan since day one.. you took that bucket of bolts and made it what it was today.. well someone was watchin over you chris.. no doubt you built it right and safety first! But you were not alone.. im glad you're here to tell us about..
oh dang ! I know Accidents happen so fast !! The Elco saved you and Im sorry shes destroyed . I will miss seeing this car but behind you on the journey to see what happens next. Its awesome that you are sharing with us fans who are just happy to see you talking to us ,and putting yourself out there being vulnerable. I respect you for doing what you do . forever a fan! ##teamkamikaze
Glad you are ok, it takes a real man to admit that he made a mistake. I always hate seeing bad crashes that could have been avoided by lifting....and staying off that throttle. You live and learn
God n flip was watching over u ill miss the elco but look at it thisbway shes back with Flip in heaven drag racing down the streets of gold with god at his flips side much respect to u man
Drag cars are designed to do 2 things. 1. Go fast as hell. 2. Save your ass if you lose it. It did number one until it had to do number 2, and considering you're here to tell the story it definitely did its job.
Subscribed , I hadnt even heard this happened , Im glad your safe brother I remember watching the show when you first took over the Elco , Ill be supporting your channel , hang in there man I look forward to seeing what you build next !!!
Even after watching this video, seeing the crash last week. Then seeing it again before tonight's episode, dude, my heart hurts for you. It made me well up seeing the pain in your eyes.....glad you were safe.
Glad you are doing these videos. This car inspired me to by another elcamino. You should auction off or do like give aways some pieces of sheetmetal to help fund the rebuild. Hell I'd place a bid for a wrinkled peice of quarter panel.
Thanks for sharing the story. So sad to see that the OG Elco is no longer, but glad that you were not hurt. Hope to see you build another Elco 2.0 like what Chief did with the Crow after his crash!
Great channel so far Chris ! I’ll be watching can’t wait to see what’s next and the revival of the Elco . Always thought you were a cool down to earth guy and definitely not overplaying it just staying humble also I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again that time you and the elco smoked that pro mod was badass!! Keep up the good work.
I applaude your efforts! Great video! Truth! Glad you are okay, Kamikaze! I volunteered with a car club to help put on their race weekends. I wanted to race. I figured the best way to learn, was to help out. After about 10 events, I realized that every weekend there would be at least one, and usually several, cars that would be write-offs or so damaged, another chassis was needed. Some guys were hurt, real, real bad. Insurance didn't cover racing injuries, either. I decided I couldn't afford it. This stuff ain't no joke.
Man seeing that elky move down the track always made me smile, being a big time lover of all the elcamino body styles. You really do need to get in touch with cleetus and see how much he wants for one of the camino shells he has sure be time saver over sourcing something else and having to do stripdown before buildup
Chris, buddy,, we are SOO GLAD you made it through that horrendous wreck! Th ElKo is lost, it's life with SO is now over and has joined Flip at that drag strip called 'Just inside the Pearly Gates' He's glad you were a good steward and took good care of the truck all these years, you made it a different, much quicker and more powerful X10. We'd like to believe he was with you and did what he could to protect you dTake good care bud, best of luck with the NEW channel - you'll not be needing any luck cause you've a HUGE FAN CLUB who will be just like me waiting for the next edition of your show.
Man your lucky brother. Glad to see your ok. Twisted steel but you walked away and are here to tell the story, that's what's important. God bless take care.
happy you're alive and kicking brotha, i hope the future brings nothing but success in your future racing career! definitely will be subscribed to my favorite list racer.
Chris, you are my favorite person on the show, I also watched any vids I could find in u building the elco. I think I can speak for several when I say ur the real deal, your not out there running your mouth and starting bullshit just for the show, the show is now 90% drama and 10% racing. Ur 100% racing and I love that. U have passion and love for the cats like I do. I subbed and I’m happy to watch everything u put on here. Now go build the people another bad ass car!!!
I started following the show the season you took over the reigns of the elco. It was such a special episode to watch and an amazing journey to follow. I dont know much of flip but im sure he would've approved of what you've achieved with that car. I loved the way you picked up your balls every time and DROVE that "bucket of bolts" and then get out down the end like it was nothing, #kamikaze. Best wishes in the future, im sure you'll do well if you just keep being you🤙✌
Just watched the new car video, man.. do what you wanna do! Love the underdogs, the bumper sticker saying respect is earned and not given is like the statement to you being my favorite guy on the show even though I don’t keep up with it much anymore, I’m more on the TH-cam’s here more often than not. I wish you luck but beyond that I will be there with you mentally. Can’t wait to see what’s up next man!!!
Brother you will be back !!!!! I know it’s probably a big kick in the nuts but it will be bigger and badder. Glad you made it out safe that’s the main thing the car can be replaced.
Kris,glad your okay to live and tell the story,cage definitely did its job,loved the Elco,but like Lutz,its really hard to be competitive in a vehicle with bad aero,looking forward to your next build,love the show,ran into you in Vegas at the airport for Sema,good luck my friend
Glad you are ok. You don’t keep up with the other guys. You need to blaze your own path and head everyone off at the pass. The Elco gave every backyard drag racer someone to cheer for. Glad you were ok. Wish you the best of luck.
your a good dude, been following your story since the beginning of SO and will continue, good luck getting race ready again and glad you are in one piece.
Kamikaze you’re a real one. I think you will come back stronger and thank god for your safety equipment! Love the content nice work, much respect to ya from Tulsa!
Your words are SPOT on man.. I've talked to you numerous times at races over the years (and worked on r a ce cars for years, etc...) and your a really great dude, SOOO glad you're okay...it may take time, but you'll get everything back together man.. you should set up a Patreon (if you are cool woth doing that kind of thing) if you don't already, I know people would be glad to help and give to it.. You have a huge fan base for being a genuine dude w/ a no bs attitude and great driving skill..Plus people tend to recognize others who are honest with themselves about how things are.. Anyway, hope to see you on the track (literally or metaphorically, lol) soon!! 🤘
That just sucks that car got tore up so bad... but I'm sure you will be back racing soon thank you for sharing I always enjoyed watching your car... enjoy your channel to thank you very much👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏁🏁
Remember when you got the El Camino. Remember back when Flip raced it. Glad you are doing okay and can add in some humor into the situation. Definitely subscribing.
Brother, flip was in the passenger seat watching over you. Bc man you're lucky to walk away without any major injuries. Flip was definitely your guardian angel
I love how humble this dude is. Prob my favorite okc driver anymore.
could not agree more. Take the tv away and the rest of them crawl right back into their old skin. Chris wont have to change a thing.....
Me too I knew chief b4 he was famous he’s totally changed ego manic typical star type but kris keeps it real
@@jasonlong592 how did you know him? Not doubting you just curious
I met him at NPK BRADENTON Florida last weekend.
Many other Drivers with out of control egos, I knew the deal but hoped he would not disappoint me as he is my favorite driver. ABSOLUTE SWEETHEART ❣❣
I was right about LIZZY, let's just say she's a "handful" AND a very poor sport. HOLY CRY BABIES BATMAN!🙄 Poor KYE... also a total sweetheart !!🤗
And at the end of the day, car did it’s job, you are still here!
Well said
Dam right. I've seen to many guys on life flight without a pulse due to a cheap or no cage. It ain't worth not seeing your kids again. Spend the cash!
When you're done tearing it down, Use a punchout die to make little circle keychains out of the metal the car was made of. Sell em, and Flip can roll with us all.
@j J I don't believe Chief knew Flip either. Flip might have known how to tickle Chief's ego, but Chief most likely didn't know.
@@oikkuoek bro they grew up together ..long time childhood friends
Oikku Oek u are just plain wrong... they grew up together
Great idea. I'll buy a couple!

I know you think “nobody wants to listen” to you, but you’re WRONG! Keep up the hard work 👊🏻
Kamikaze... You are a big part of why I have followed the show from the beginning...and you are a Fav for a lot of the Fans! I so look forward to the future with you and your new Car, can't wait!!
Blessed to be alive and show how well you made that car to survive a crash like you described.
My heart goes out to you Chris. Flip must of put in a good words for you letting the race gods know that it wasn't your time. I for one am excited to watch you on your come back.

I've been a fan since day one.. you took that bucket of bolts and made it what it was today.. well someone was watchin over you chris.. no doubt you built it right and safety first! But you were not alone.. im glad you're here to tell us about..
I’m just happy you’re alive. Thanks for sharing.
You entertained us for a long time. The least we can do is support you. Subscribed and shared. Glad your ok.
oh dang ! I know Accidents happen so fast !! The Elco saved you and Im sorry shes destroyed . I will miss seeing this car but behind you on the journey to see what happens next. Its awesome that you are sharing with us fans who are just happy to see you talking to us ,and putting yourself out there being vulnerable. I respect you for doing what you do . forever a fan! ##teamkamikaze
Glad you are ok, it takes a real man to admit that he made a mistake. I always hate seeing bad crashes that could have been avoided by lifting....and staying off that throttle. You live and learn
God n flip was watching over u ill miss the elco but look at it thisbway shes back with Flip in heaven drag racing down the streets of gold with god at his flips side much respect to u man
Drag cars are designed to do 2 things. 1. Go fast as hell. 2. Save your ass if you lose it. It did number one until it had to do number 2, and considering you're here to tell the story it definitely did its job.
I literally cried when you wrecked man! I’m just glad you’re ok to race again buddy!
Flip would be happy with how far that car has come....its time to build a new one for flip!

Rest In Peace Flip.
Rest in Perce Tyler flipp
Subscribed , I hadnt even heard this happened , Im glad your safe brother I remember watching the show when you first took over the Elco , Ill be supporting your channel , hang in there man I look forward to seeing what you build next !!!
Even after watching this video, seeing the crash last week. Then seeing it again before tonight's episode, dude, my heart hurts for you. It made me well up seeing the pain in your eyes.....glad you were safe.
Glad you are doing these videos. This car inspired me to by another elcamino. You should auction off or do like give aways some pieces of sheetmetal to help fund the rebuild. Hell I'd place a bid for a wrinkled peice of quarter panel.
Thank you for giving us your time to explain what happen... looking forward to see all your upcoming videos
Thank you, Flip, for watching over Chris! 🙏🏽
I am very thankful you are alive and alright. Stay positive, you got this. Keep it up Kris!
The quarter panel would look good on it wall in my garage. Glad you are ok chris this is going to be one of my favorite channels
Thanks for sharing the story. So sad to see that the OG Elco is no longer, but glad that you were not hurt. Hope to see you build another Elco 2.0 like what Chief did with the Crow after his crash!
Great channel so far Chris ! I’ll be watching can’t wait to see what’s next and the revival of the Elco . Always thought you were a cool down to earth guy and definitely not overplaying it just staying humble also I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again that time you and the elco smoked that pro mod was badass!! Keep up the good work.
I applaude your efforts! Great video! Truth! Glad you are okay, Kamikaze!
I volunteered with a car club to help put on their race weekends. I wanted to race. I figured the best way to learn, was to help out. After about 10 events, I realized that every weekend there would be at least one, and usually several, cars that would be write-offs or so damaged, another chassis was needed. Some guys were hurt, real, real bad. Insurance didn't cover racing injuries, either. I decided I couldn't afford it. This stuff ain't no joke.
Man seeing that elky move down the track always made me smile, being a big time lover of all the elcamino body styles. You really do need to get in touch with cleetus and see how much he wants for one of the camino shells he has sure be time saver over sourcing something else and having to do stripdown before buildup
Chris, buddy,, we are SOO GLAD you made it through that horrendous wreck! Th ElKo is lost, it's life with SO is now over and has joined Flip at that drag strip called 'Just inside the Pearly Gates' He's glad you were a good steward and took good care of the truck all these years, you made it a different, much quicker and more powerful X10. We'd like to believe he was with you and did what he could to protect you dTake good care bud, best of luck with the NEW channel - you'll not be needing any luck cause you've a HUGE FAN CLUB who will be just like me waiting for the next edition of your show.
Probably my favorite street outlaw, keep on keeping on Kamikaze! New sub here
Glad you're okay man. Been watching the show since day 1. You have a new subscriber.
Man your lucky brother. Glad to see your ok. Twisted steel but you walked away and are here to tell the story, that's what's important. God bless take care.
happy you're alive and kicking brotha, i hope the future brings nothing but success in your future racing career! definitely will be subscribed to my favorite list racer.
Chris, you are my favorite person on the show, I also watched any vids I could find in u building the elco. I think I can speak for several when I say ur the real deal, your not out there running your mouth and starting bullshit just for the show, the show is now 90% drama and 10% racing. Ur 100% racing and I love that. U have passion and love for the cats like I do. I subbed and I’m happy to watch everything u put on here. Now go build the people another bad ass car!!!
The Main thing is your Ok ! Life can't be replaced but car's can. Hopefully you can get some backing and be able to stay in the game. Cheers
Glad you’re still with us! Time to overcome and conquer
I started following the show the season you took over the reigns of the elco. It was such a special episode to watch and an amazing journey to follow. I dont know much of flip but im sure he would've approved of what you've achieved with that car. I loved the way you picked up your balls every time and DROVE that "bucket of bolts" and then get out down the end like it was nothing, #kamikaze.
Best wishes in the future, im sure you'll do well if you just keep being you🤙✌
Just watched the new car video, man.. do what you wanna do! Love the underdogs, the bumper sticker saying respect is earned and not given is like the statement to you being my favorite guy on the show even though I don’t keep up with it much anymore, I’m more on the TH-cam’s here more often than not. I wish you luck but beyond that I will be there with you mentally. Can’t wait to see what’s up next man!!!
Dude you are straight forward and that’s what I like... And can’t wait to see what’s nexts
Glad you're ok brother! Thanks for keeping it real with us and talking! Can't wait to see the show, wherever it comes back on.
Brother you will be back !!!!! I know it’s probably a big kick in the nuts but it will be bigger and badder. Glad you made it out safe that’s the main thing the car can be replaced.
Glad your ok man, looking forward to your videos.
You've always been my favorite in the 405.
Take care brother.
Kris,glad your okay to live and tell the story,cage definitely did its job,loved the Elco,but like Lutz,its really hard to be competitive in a vehicle with bad aero,looking forward to your next build,love the show,ran into you in Vegas at the airport for Sema,good luck my friend
Damn brother that’s tough. So glad you are ok. Safety did it’s job. Look forward to seeing the journey ##FoLife
Glad you are ok. You don’t keep up with the other guys. You need to blaze your own path and head everyone off at the pass. The Elco gave every backyard drag racer someone to cheer for. Glad you were ok. Wish you the best of luck.
your a good dude, been following your story since the beginning of SO and will continue, good luck getting race ready again and glad you are in one piece.
Really looking forward to all the future content! So thankful you live to tell your story!
Kamikaze you’re a real one. I think you will come back stronger and thank god for your safety equipment! Love the content nice work, much respect to ya from Tulsa!
Your words are SPOT on man.. I've talked to you numerous times at races over the years (and worked on r a ce cars for years, etc...) and your a really great dude, SOOO glad you're okay...it may take time, but you'll get everything back together man.. you should set up a Patreon (if you are cool woth doing that kind of thing) if you don't already, I know people would be glad to help and give to it.. You have a huge fan base for being a genuine dude w/ a no bs attitude and great driving skill..Plus people tend to recognize others who are honest with themselves about how things are..
Anyway, hope to see you on the track (literally or metaphorically, lol) soon!! 🤘
Glad your ok KamiKaze. Keep on fighting man, you will be back stronger in the Elco once you get it back on the road.
Love the honesty . Just glade your okey. I know that car meant a lot to you and others. Can’t wait to see what you do next .
That just sucks that car got tore up so bad... but I'm sure you will be back racing soon thank you for sharing I always enjoyed watching your car... enjoy your channel to thank you very much👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏁🏁
Dude I'll always be there watching, liking and sometimes even sharing!
Loved that car. Dad and I build a '71 Elco when I was a kid. I have a soft spot for Elco's. Glad you are okay.
Man thats tough to watch but glad your here to tell us the story ,looking forward to future things brotha
