We attended Drop The Hammer with the Dodge Durango and Aydan's Deucebox for a weekend of fun racing across Michigan. The first part of the weekend was awesome with both cars just running so well. But then that all changed on the final day when I hit some water on the track and slid into my buddy Clark's Camaro. Crashing sucks when it is just one car, let alone when another car is involved. I'm glad we were both unhurt. Congratulations to @stevemorrisracing on the win.
It Rains a while then sun comes out and heats the surface, The hydrostatic pressure from the accumulated water can force its way through the roadway. I'm glad nobody got hurt. On a side note, Did you hear Cleet and Squirrel opened a bodyshop! 🤣🤣
Looks like about a 12-15 gallon job. 😂
Yes I heard that as well. Their running a special promotion with Bondo ,any car or truck needing body work, includes a free set of coil or leaf springs. Cleetus said " we want your vehicle to ride as nice as it looks".😁😁
Yes And they can put weight to your car as well. But All you have to do is buy the paint and the bondo And they also have a traveling paint Booth they can come to you.
Cleet’s talented body work will undoubtedly help keep the front end down thanks to the gallons of filler.
Yes of course but the track and whoever he spoke with saying there was water at or past the 1/8th should have stopped the track and tried to dry it and if still wet called it. You don’t see it and then wait until someone wrecks that’s ridiculous
You and Clark have the skills to fix both cars. Health is most important ,cars will be repaired or replaced. Go get em next time 😊 😊
Glad you and Clark walked away safely. Everything else can be replaced
👌
It was an honor to even been on the same track as some of the biggest legends in the sport! And we made it in your video 🤘 Feeling pretty cool right about now
I like seeing the turbo in the grille .
@@user-hb3ix5wl6n you and me both! I literally hung the Turbo in the grill area and then built the Turbo kit to fit.
Sorry to see you and Clark wreck, but glad you're both ok.
Let’s give the EMT’s a hand! The cars hadn’t even stopped moving yet before they were in route!!! He must have been foot braking it waiting to be Johnny on the spot!
I'm always amazed how quickly they respond. I know it's their job and all, but it's hard to stay vigilant all day long watching pair after pair of cars go down the track. 👏
131 has their own ambulance and it's always running with a driver in it when racing is happening. There's a dedicated chute where it is parked to get right on the track. I've seen too many other tracks that fart around and take several minutes to even START moving towards the wreck.
Yeah they are sitting there watching I hope they are ready that’s the only thing they have to do
So glad Clark and yourself are ok, that's what really counts. Cars can be replaced. We know it gets to you even worse when it's one of your friends.
Best wishes and good luck to Clark and yourself from way down here in New Zealand.
Hang in there Tom. Racing always has its ups and downs, and sometimes the downs seem to go on forever.. But keeping a positive mindset and pushing thru is all you can do. You and Clark are lucky to be safe and sound, and its only your cars you need to fix, and not your bones and internal organs. You guys are safe, and you can live to race again!
Glad you and Clark are safe
I appreciate Tom and the crew for sharing all the other drivers involved. Kudos to all involved
You can see Clark was mad when he got out the car he was throwing his gloves.....im just glad that you both are ok the vehicle's can be fixed great job everyone
Wow Tom.Sorry to see that happened.I'm glad you and Clark are ok.
Thanks Tom and Ayden sorry you had such bad luck with the water seepage. Great your offer to help out Clark. Fabulous your both ok.
What a deal. Heartbreak for both of y'all. Glad you both walked away.
Feel bad for Clark, but luckily it wasn't in the black Time Warp. Thankfully everyone is ok.
Nah. The other car is a lot easier to replace. This is a real shame.
If it was ,I would be in jail lol
@@wesw9586 May have been easier; wouldn't have been cheaper
Nice to see the ambulance was out there right away. Glad you guys are okay. Thank you for your videos as always!!
Hate the Cars got Banged up , Glad everyone is OK ! Clark Sorry Brother
Yunno, glad you’re both ok. This car had been Clark’s ”good old boy” car, he said it’d been 5 years since he’d had it on the road, so there may be some story left there.
Couldn't agree more Tom, driving under a bridge to get to the lime just hits different! Love it
It sucks when you take out another car. The safety gear and crew did the job to keep you both safe. Looking forward to seeing you and Clark out again.
RECCOMENDATION Don't film the track scraper. If the wrong person happens to see that you could have people with clip boards showing up at your track.
Tom your a stand up guy and to offer help with fixing Clark’s car says a lot about yourself..
That’d be two scary ass rides for Clark, in pretty rapid succession, this year.
Waiting to hear Bob’s comments on the Durango…
Thinkin’ Duece Box is thinkin’ it’s a old school altered.
Clark is having one wild ass 2024 lol
That sucked! Two beautiful cars wrecked, but everybody is ok and that's the only thing that matters! I'm glad you and Clark are okay. Nobody to blame here, just the track doing funky stuff. Sad but what can you do? It happens sometimes. That's just the nature of the sport.
Accidents happen ❤
Glad all are safe great safety rules.
Sorry to see you wreck the Durango. Glad you're ok
That’s sad for Clark and yourselves, glad you are physically ok, and Clark.
Tom, you’re the best. I love what you’re doing with all the drag and drive events. Sorry to see the crash but that’s how it goes sometimes at the drag strip as I know you know. Keep up the great work 🤩
I feel bad for you and Clark, but it could have been much worse. Glad you are both ok.
As everyone has already said the main thing is everyone is fine. Sad that it happened to two really nice dudes. Happy thing in this all is that it didn’t happen to them when Clarke was in his black car and Tom was in his sick 2.0. Pity that was an awesome paint job on Clarke’s car.
Bailey, "that's Steve's problem, he'll figure it out", after Steve has pulled how many all nighters fixing Baileys stuff 🤔
From bumper skids, to a wiring time, and a weekend with " ALL " walking home.
Great things happen, but things happen. All said and done. Everyone who enjoyed the cool weekend made it home.
Be waiting for great times & loud peddle pounded.
Thank you 🤘
Stroke?
Your both alive, that is all that matters, we all know the risk of racing.
can see your emotion, from Australia, chin up bruh.
The splitting the pot was best call & safest choice with the moisture on track ! It's great to see Aiden getting back in the groove ! I can only get to one event a year & I choose going to the indy event as it is a week after my birthday even though i'm half way between indy & us-131 So the rest the year it's the yt & frdm+ that we get to enjoy watching the races ! Thanks to all the drivers for there hard work & the huge amount money they put into giving these great events It's very much enjoyable !
OK highly appreciate a 2hr video but it's already midnight here in the UK so think I'm gunna have to watch this tomorrow!
Glad you guys are OK!
Exciting, and everyone's ok.
Great racing.
Dude at the check point was lit 😂
IHRA; All vehicles that exceed 150mph (241kph) must be fitted with a parachute. It is mandatory that the chute is deployed by the end of the speed trap.
scary crash man. Could've been so much worse. Glad everyone is ok.
PLEASE add a couple titanium drag blocks to the back bumper of the Deuce Box, get some sick white spark action on them wheelies!
That race between the Durango & Clark's 4th gen was hard to watch, the Durango just starts floating out of nowhere and takes off, nothing anyone could do about that one. I suppose this could be an argument for running pneumatic chutes with a chute button on the steering wheel, but pneumatic chutes have their own quirks & issues too so 6 with one, half-dozen with the other. Glad everyone is OK, hopefully the Durango's damage is mostly superficial at least, shame that the 4th gen will almost certainly need a good bit of front end work. Gotta move on from the incident though, that's just the risk we all take when we lineup for a race.
It really sucks but you said it best, it's not IF but WHEN it will happen. Sadly, if you drag race long enough something will eventually happen. Been there and done that. I'm just glad you and Clark are both ok. Cars can be fixed.
So sorry that happened. If you would have missed Clark, you would have went head on into the wall. God was watching out for you both. Be safe.
That deuce box was reaching for the sky with that moon tune
The track was seeping water not your fault Tom it’s just a racing incident
Top fuel teams diligently check their track surface each pass. Good reason for why.
Great editing in this video. Very watchable. Thanks for bringing us some great content and sorry about the Durango. Glad youre ok!
Racing is Racing…IT Happens. Real glad no one was hurt. Great video and looking forward to the next.👍
Glad you and Clark are ok
I feel bad for Clark,but, that’s racing
Doesn't need to be. Staggered tree folks.
The most devastating part of this video is that steve chipped the paint THE POOR NEW PAINT
Steve has done a lot of work on the wagon!!!
very glad your both okay
Sometimes you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopefully, Clark's car is not hurt too bad and can be fixed quickly. Glad everyone walked away- thankfully the safety stuff did its job.
It's going to take time lol Alot of time.
Glad you are both safe
BIN. THE. DURANGO.
As a test platform it’s caused a lotta grief
Glad you and Clark are okay atleast
Cant catch a break with the Durango.
Brother that just racing Glady everyone is good life happens thanks for sharing 👍
Looked like the Durango was coming around and making better runs than previous videos. Hate to see the wreck but it is racing.
Just curiosity, is there a code between guys in this situation? Does Clark just accept this is a possibility does Tom pay money do they just do whatever they can via resources and time to help each other or what?
Well, I'm not surprised. With who you had building that car. It was bound to fall apart.
What an ignorant comment, the car didn't fall apart, very much the opposite that car is top shelf
I was just sitting here thinking how cool it is seeing cars coming in under the bridge and then feeling a bit silly for thinking that, then you pop up and say how cool it is coming in under the bridge and I just felt immediately better about myself! Thank you Tom.
P.s. that Durango is a bad unit.
You said it best! It’s not if, it’s when! I’ve had my share of things going wrong out of the blue including same scenario with water pushing thru the pavement in the shut down. Fortunately I was able to keep it off the wall but you’re right it’s like hitting black ice out of nowhere! I refuse to race these guys that say never and act all cocky like they’re invincible! If you can’t accept that eventually something will happen then you can’t fully be prepared for the worst! They are the ones who will pin it to win instead of lifting and usually when bad stuff happens to them it’s catastrophic either with injuries or complete loss of car!
In fact we got a guy that runs drag racing safety classes here local and he told us about his journey to respecting safety equipment! He was young and cocky and barely had enough money to build a car let alone splurge on fire suppression, better cage, fire suit or better brakes! He said in his mind that added weight and wasn’t going to make him faster. He remembers two weeks b4 his wreck his dad gave him money to buy a fire suit since he just ran his first seven fifty, he bought bigger nitrous jets and a second bottle! He lost traction at the 1/8th and peddled then got back into and pinned and prayed as he said he crossed the 1/4 beams sideways but still in his lane and that’s all he remembers to this day! His car continued to spin sideways and started rolling a total of 15 times b4 skidding to a stop on the roof! His sub par cage partially collapsed and pinned him in enough that he couldn’t get out on his own! With the car on fire at this time it took longer to get him out and he sustained 3rd degree burns to 50% of his body! After 8 weeks in the hospital he spent another 6 months in physical therapy! He has dedicated the rest of his life to preventing the same from happening to cocky or un educated people, saying it’s human nature for all of us to think it won’t happen to me and everyone that hasn’t been educated about safety or been thru a wreck doesn’t think about it! Tough life lease and was a hard story to hear but cudos to him for trying to make a difference! One last piece of advice he teaches, speak up if you see something at the track that’s unsafe. Better to piss someone off then to stay silent and stand by and watch there worst nightmare unfold! He said he wished his competitor that day had reported him like he threatened for not having a fire suit and updated cage cert for the class he was running!
That's one thing I hate about how drag cars set up the breaking system. Most that run bigs and skinnys set up more break bias to the rear. That works fine when everything goes good. But when there is anything slick, it's going to get sketchy.
Dude nails it it 23:24 - hell yeah it's sick!!!!!
I'm not a superstitious person by any means but damn... The old Durango has not been very kind to you at all. I understand Tom wanting to perservere through all the setbacks and finally make this car a winner particularly since he and the crew work in spitting distance from Dodge HQ in Auburn. Can't imagine the possible fallout should they decide to abandon the project but... Personally speaking, it might be time to cut your losses and call this thing what it is. Cursed!
Steve's burnout go further than the finish line😅😅😅
The crash was a shitty situation all around.
The only shred of positive for Clark is that it wasn't his black car.
Man Clark had a beautiful car! That sucks
They both did the Durango is basically new
Had lol It will be back.
Glad everyones okay.. you was on the brakes for 3 seconds before the shoot was hit.. did you plan on pulling it at all?
No, he didn't. He hadn't in ANY of his runs. He said he pulled the chute when it got sideways. He was just braking before then. Steve was the only one I saw use the chutes consistently on each full power run to the 1/8th.
I liked the 3 day event and actually showing “average” cars going down track, i love the tube chassis cars but that white, flat hood, plain looking Camaro was nipping at yalls heels. Cool to see the slow 7-8+ second cars/trucks too because we all started somewhere and i appreciate all ETs as they work hard on their rides too……i had the most fun in the mid/low 7s and was cheaper than low 6s but still drove it to and mostly from the track
Clark said he has a Ford trans in the Camaro? That’s a first
FB performance AOD
That is really unfortunate to end a good event like that. Hope Clark is OK. I know the third day after a crash like that is when everything shows up after the adrenaline wears off.
On a gooder note the Box Turtle looked really good and solid. Went down straight when the front wheels stayed on the ground. Well done for Aydan. He just needs to get his confidence back. Playin with scared money always looses as my Grandfather always said.
I hope this event keeps growing and becomes a multi-track tour of the Mitten. We have so many scenic roads and great places to stop in MI. And a bunch of tracks all over the state that could be used. It definitely could become a premier Drag n Drive event.
Man this sucks for 2 great people in this drag and drive community Clark and Tom I know Tom will do what he has to to help Clark with fix n that car or doing a new car sorry guys glad u guys are ok
Glad you and Clark are good. Sucks for both of you guys
Glad your OK..........Nothing but Buzzard luck since you guys built that thing. Just sayin.
It’s way too bad it had to end like that, But we know you’ll be back even better. Hope you have better luck in the next race.
Damn that paint job was killer on that Camaro rip the f body looks fixable but that paint was nice ash
I bet Clarke is glad he didn’t bring out his black Camaro!
He would have been six car lengths ahead of the Durango in that car..
There’s no reason not to have had the chutes out with a car beside you in the other lane and that crash most likely wouldn’t have happened if they would’ve been out. Tom got lazy and didn’t want to repack the chutes and it cost clark a car
Could not agree more. Pure negligence. Not sure why so many people are so interested in excusing him.
They were only running 1/8th mile.
@@audiarayz And he goes 140 mph in the 1/8th. Plenty fast enough for a 'chute.
@@wesw9586 🤔😂😂😂
I believe Steve (with the fastest car) was the only one using a chute. Clark along with all the racers in the video know something like this could happen and the other driver is not responsible for your car or life if it happens.
4000 hp breaks stuff ... let's go Steve... kick ass ...

Glad you and Clark were ok, he looked mad but in the end i can understand but he also knows you are there if he needs something BUT what happened can happen to anybody any time
Just sayin 25x25 is definitely not 125 there fella its 625..😂... great videos! Love the long format ever since i gave in and got premium... makes it sooooo much better to watch
Bobby has plenty of work.
And Aidens rig is cool. Wheely time now
suv's and heavy trucks on the drag strip with light cars seem like a horrible idea to me
Glad you and Clark are okay. suck as for the accident.
Tom that's racing not your fault don't beat yourself up over it
So very sorry about that turn of events and Clark;s car. I m sure he will get it repaired after he has time to digest it all. Otherwise a great event. Looking forward to Sick Summer and the live stream. Many thanks.
Glad you're okay!!
Glad everyone is ok!!!
Glad you both are ok!
Glad you guys are ok.
Next event clark and Bailey need one of those inflatable sumo suits duke it out 3 round. 5 second rounds lol good you both ok pride heals
