When Uncle Bob speaks, everyone should listen. That man is pure knowledge.
I was just gonna say the same he's cool
"you know" it
E.F. Hutton of engine building,
Same here, can't help but learn when Bob talks. I've been around cars a longgg time, it is obvious to me how little I know when he speaks technically about engines.
Because he's still learning as he's teaching. 👍
We need more Bob segments lol he's passionate about this stuff and it shows.
My thoughts exactly.
bob and all of the engine builders should start a podcast theres always new information to take in
I like the way Uncle Bob breaks it down and gives us a free education … thanks uncle Bob !!!!
I JUST LEARNED ALOT ABOUT BOBS BACKGROUND IN THIS VIDEO. I THINK YOU SHOULD DO A WORD ON THE STREET VIDEO TALKING TO BOB ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND AND WHERE HE CAME FROM. I ABSOLUTELY THINK PEOPLE WOULD LOVE ❤ IT..
I second this
WHY ARE WE YELLING???
Turn the TV down while you’re typing
PLEASE TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK AND TALK LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE YELL AT ME 😅
@@terrythompson3504 put it in reverse Terry.
What a bad ass performance down at the Xmas tree Drags! I hope this puts some people on notice that SRC is for real!
He's going to do better next year when he gets the set up right for 1/4 mile..
The xmas tree race is just fun. I heard on the other video that it's a big race. Its not just fun,that's y the trophy was a joke too
@heavymetalhydro4529 isn't all racing just for fun? If you don't think everyone there was trying to do good, you're tripping but I do understand what you're saying. There wasn't 10s of thousands of dollars on it.
I love how uncle bob always is full of respect and ends his opinion in "in my opinion" class act guy full of knowledge but always willing to learn great on you uncle bob
Ya he doesn’t make someone feel stupid or act like he knows it all, he’s a genuine hood knowledgeable man and has a lot of good ideas that work.
That's the most I've ever heard the man talk, and I'm all about it. Guy is a wealth of knowledge
Idk how much u enjoyed 1/4 mile but i would love to see more of it. Always knew u the cars were fast in the 8th, but to see the nova doing 200+ and 6sec seems like a real big accomplishment. Thank you for all your vids, hope to see another great year of content from SRC, OMG, G2G
Running Pro Stock numbers. Whoops my bad Pro Stock have no power adders.
@@dawnmclees spinning 500ci to 12000 RPM is some wild stuff
@@dawnmcleesNova is also on a tire half the size. If you took the Pro stock chassis and drivetrain and put a steel body that is absolutely stock proportions and not all aerodynamically manipulated, it would not run the times it does as a pro stock. Probably would run close though.
1/4 mile risk outweighs the reward production based cars are too dangerous at those speeds.
@@WhiteTrashMotorsports I can name a couple of production based cars with tube chassis of the same certification as the Pro stock that have been almost in the 5s on small tires. Hell One is a stick shift car and isn't even a tube chassis. None of the cars on sick week or drag week or rocky mountain race week run 1/8th mile. Its drag racing, there's inherently risk involved
Man you just can't beat the experience that uncle Bob has. ❤
Uncle bobs knowledge is something else . What a great guy
Man I am missing Tommy in these videos. I hope he is doing well. I'd love to see everyone hands on his OBS to have it ready for sick week too. He has worked so hard and deserves to make that deadline with his own truck.
I believe he is too far behind for that this year but definitely going to bring the heat next year 😂
Didn't you hear ?? Tommy and Allison moved to Hollywood !! Becoming big movie producers !!!
So awesome actually getting to hear uncle Bob's brain working keep the " when I was in the Nascar world " stuff coming
Heck ya he knows what he’s talking about for sure!
Great content
Billy your scaring Uncle Bob. Just run a Water Block so Uncle Bob's Anxiety goes down . As always SRC , great content
I was quite surprised they're not monitoring oil temperature, especially with a cement block!
Billy, your son has been the cutest young man I’ve seen in a long time! I’m 79 and my son passed a while back and I really miss him! So cherish every minute you spend with him ❤!
Uncle bob is very valuable to your team the knowledge he has and the pride in his work is unlike a bunch of other engine builders so glad to see someone take so much pride and pleasure in his work hats off to uncle bob
Bob is nailing it with wire tying. Next level in safety.
You need to more 1 on 1 with Bob! I just love listening to that guy! As such a smart and great guy
Take a shot when Bob says "YA KNOW", we love ya Bob!
Why do you love another man that you don’t know and doesn’t know you?
@Edizzle15 uhm hmm you must be full of hate, or haven't had good people around you ever. On that note have you seen what the man does for the family? Have you seen the health problems he has had in the last couple of years? Have you seen him go on trips with Bill or Billy? Seen how other folks not even in the race family talk about Bob online? You can tell a lot about a person by the way others look up to them or talk about them, you can learn even more by watching and seeing what a person does for people around him. We get to know people in ways you must not understand, and who cares if he doesn't know me/us. That's why we love Bob and the Race Family.
Love your nova, you built that car, people don't realize the money and time to build a car, great job, Billy
Uncle Bob giving a proper view from Experience... Well said , and all the variables. Dis-similar materials, growth, torques, cooling and critical temps. Precision Assembly is Physics and Experience . i spent 20 years in this field and Oh Boy, Tolerences & temps when you beat on stuff, big time movement and stresses. 👍🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸Billie taking it all in. Be blessed Gents.
It's a awesome Thing to see someone have so much pride and passion in what he does everyday!! That's a rare but awesome thing!!! Mr Bob is something special
Absolutely agree Very smart man
Listening to uncle bob 🔧 you can learn alot really fast!✨
Best of luck sorting out the Nova. Bob really puts his heart and soul into the motors he builds👍👍👍
Absolutely love listening to Uncle Bob he is a wealth of knowledge. The old saying he forgot more than we'll ever know about engines LOL😊
Give Wyatt a high five from all of us and keep us updated on the repairs✌️
Nothing better after work then my kids and SRC 🎉🎉🎉
Loved this video, love listening to Bob talk about motor builds. You could do an hour long video of just hanging out talking to Bob and it would destroy the view count.
This was rad! Loved hearing Uncle Bob dropping knowledge. That dude building cages at his house seems legit. Always great to see Wyatt, seemingly the happiest baby on Earth. And respect for lying on the ground wrenching. Best of luck in 2025!
Uncle Bob surprised me with his praise for dry sump systems.
Budget people think of dry sump as an expensive luxury, Bob made me realize its worth it if you can do it.
Also was a pleasure to hear Bob's humble comments about being happy with his current cylinder wall prep and he deserves a pat on the back for having helped some young man from Ohio build an essentially back halfed Nova that went 6.90s@201 !!!!
Well deserved praise all over this vid. Uncle Bob you have really put in the work to become a household name in this kind of drag racing circles. You might have to change your phone number to keep the thing from ringing constantly!
I say that in a matter of fact way with respect
Great hearing Bob talk and explain. Don’t get enough of that.
Love ur relationship with bob genuine thanks for sharing
This is Jim from thunderstruck racing engines. What you should do is put Restrictions in the oil system so the oil doesn't pump all the way into the valve covers during the quarter mile. And put oil squirters in the valve governors to oil and cool down valve springs. That's all I run all my motors I build.
That’s badass you guys came to Bradenton ready to race ! You and the Nova looked badass at 200+ coming across the quarter mile mark great job SRC team. Good luck this season.
Awesome video! Love seeing there Brain storming with Bob! And I love that " must be nice " sign above the door!

This is the type of expertise we need. Thanks Uncle Bob!
BOB IS VERY GOOD ASSET TO HAVE ON THE TEAM. YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS LEARNING HOW TO KEEP PUSHING FORWARD. 💪🏾🇺🇲&🗽4ALL.✅👍🏾
one of the best SRC mechanic videos! Unleashed speaking Bob and the kid listen and learning! This is high value for you!
I agree more Uncle Bob segments would be awesome. The knowledge he has and is willing to share is priceless. And a true engine builder/machinist taking great pride in his work. You all are lucky to have him.
It was awesome meeting you guys down in Bradenton. I can’t wait to see you guys down there again.
Nice meeting you!
This is the most i’ve ever heard uncle bob talk. What an interesting guy! He doesn’t usually say much on your dads videos. I really enjoyed it.
Billy, the nova looks badass. Im glad to see everything is ok with the motor. The 1/4 mile at Cletus's was very impressive. You're gonna have a great season this year. Everything is coming together for SRC. The S-10 is still the heartbeat of SRC ! IMO 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
Love the Bob chat, man is a encyclopedia of knowledge.
I can’t speak for all of us but damn we love the racing videos but it’s something about the engine building and checking with uncle bob that just speaks different to me. I love the science side of it all! Congrats on a hellave 24 season we are all ready to see what 25 has in store for you guys!
This was a real fun video..Everybody that has been watching you for years like myself enjoyed! Nothing beat's dawn....
When Bob was talking about scraping bearings, it remind me of the day we would pour our own bearings with Babbitt and then we had a bearing scraper to dial them in
Uncle bob is pure legend doused in perfectionism. E.F Hutton would be proud! LoL. He treats those engines like they are his kids. We need more uncle bobs everywhere.
Yes we do, keep these kids out of trouble and it gives them knowledge and hope to keep our good ole days of fun still on the road.
The runs you laid down at Xmas tree drags impressed a lot of people about everyone involved with your program 👍👍👍
Uncle bob is probably top of the list!!
Billy you and your dad must be so happy and proud of your engine builder Bob! What a great builder and friend! I'm still waiting for the snow white Camaro to get done. Infact I think that's what you should call her "Snow White"
Uncle Bob's knowledge and experience is a awesome asset to y'all's racing program for sure
Uncle Bob has taught me alot in this video alone! So awesome. Bob is the Man
Great video!! You can really sense Uncle Bob’s excitement and how much his brain has been working in the background thinking about upgrades. ❤️. He seems like such a great Man!
Lock wiring bolts and nuts is good idea. 032 wire and a twister is available at Jegs I used to do it at GE. Once you do a few of them you never forget how.
Shop is really looking good Billy! Really like that mezzanine for double storage, both above and below. Super happy for your whole family!
I know in many videos bob doesn't do much talking but that fellas head is chuck full of motor information. Bob has forgotten more then some people have written down. Hell of a guy you guy's have on the team
Bob the Builder shirts in the future? Bob seems super knowledgeable on a ton of stuff. Bob and Billy have some good talks. It seems like Bob doesn't say as much when he's around the Old Man. Bob could be a major part of the channel.
Bob is the man , you gotta like a guy like him he takes pride in his work
Just to see bobs pride shine in his motors is pure bliss the man has true joy for his profession
Sounds like Bob's azz puckered when he found out Billy was going to be running 1/4mile 😆 😂
I love Bob's attention to detail. I love learning from engine builders like this.
Keep bob around bob is honest at least he tells you hes learning on your particular setup compared to most engine builders who dont know whats going on woulda lied an acted like they knew what they were doing an woulda just blew it up again the same way
Heck yea uncle bob was happy that it made the trip down the 1/4 mile and held up better then what he thought but it’s awesome to hear him talk about the motors and stuff he has done
Nice to see the program moving in a positive direction.
Love this channel! It takes a village comes to mind. Strong working relationships with capable people.
Thanks for the video wow your son can't wait to Drive that's cool have a great day
Loved seeing your success at the Christmas tree race. Seeing what other channels are doing to break into the 6’s, it was awesome to see your combo which is mild compared to some we’ve seen. You weren’t even able to turn it up, because of the converter. It just makes you wonder how fast your combo could really go.
Uncle bob needs his own channel I would watch every video
So, Uncle Bobs neighbor is a Tractor Puller and Bob built his motor because that guy cuts his grass.
Exactly what is in the water down there that has everyone being Hot Rodders?
This was a great video, Uncle Bob is a mountain of info and experience.
He was scared to death of the filled block and the 1/4 mile runs.
God Bless him!
Best video of Uncle Bob. I would love to see more of Uncle Bob just doing his thing. Maybe explaining something here or there, but just watching him do his thing is cool. 👍🏼
Great dad, great video, and great racing at the Xmas tree drags 🏁 thanx can't wait to see the next one
I like how Bob is really into trying to test and help the program learn and grow
I have an e46 BMW with the ZHP package and it has different cams and higher rev limiter by about 500rpm. The other big difference is the safety wired oil pump nut because they have been known to loosen at normal rpm.
when it comes to.engine sealant I would strongly recommend trying the acdelao Grey sealant! it's almost to good lol the new lt motors don't use pan gaskets or timing cover gaskets they only use sealant. I would try it on the big block I'm positive yall will be impressed
That's the most i've seen Bob speak. 👍🏼👍🏼 You guys should do a Word on the streets with Bob, sounds like he has an interesting background.
The runs you laid down at Xmas tree drags impressed a lot of people about everyone involved with your program 👍👍👍
Happy new year to the whole family! Man I'm happy to see you finally going in the right direction with the nova. You showed the bigger fish with fully built cars what a big block with with an amazing team can do!
WE ALL STARTED ON JACKSTANDS AND SOMETIMES WE END UP ON JACKSTANDS. IT BRINGS US BACK TO WHEN WE STARTED
Great video!! The talk with Bob was a learning experience. If you get trans fluid in your hair or elsewhere,taking a shower with Dawn is the best. Seems like everytime I work on a trans when I'm laying on the ground I get a gallon in my hair. Dawn to the rescue!!
Thanks for all the great content!
Mix some sugar or salt in that dawn and it will get the stank of burnt hydraulic fluid out of your skin
Great video, I could listen to bob all day
Bob is an awesome part of src. Keep it up boys
Uncle Bob is so much fun to listen to when it comes to rebuilding engines.
Having a good engine builder like Bob is amazing. But actually having Bob as your engine builder is solid gold!!
DUDE BILLY, it must have been a proud 🥲 moment watching your kid pretend racing the Nova. The next generation of racing just pretented to race an opponent. What a great and special time for Billy. Keep up the good work 👍. Great video 📸. Have a good day today 😎🌞. Thanks.
It's awesome having Bob on your team. I don't think you could pay anyone else and them car soooo much about how your engines are doing. Yeah you can get good stuff too other places, but at the end your still just a customer and not family.
Dry sump systems are where its at. You can plumb it how you want put squiters in the valve covers and the lifters so you have extra oil along with the main oil galleries. Its can cut down on windage and free's up horsepower. Billy if you can find the room I would go that route
Bob is a great person to have in your corner! The knowledge that comes out of his mouth is insane!!
Thanks Billy. That was a very good video.. More of this things with the engines and Bobs speaking to us with all of his knowledge. Thanks from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks for sharing Billy Tommy and Allison
The more I hear from and see Uncle Bob the more I like that guy and he seems like a really knowledgeable asset to your program. #hellyeahunclebob
Happy new year to all the SRC family. Cool to see Bob learning and wanting to try new things. The Nova getting a freshen up is awesome.
Hondabond or ultra grey rtv works really well. Ive always have problems with the black rtv leaking.
Billy, you have a great friend in Bob. Your group is one heck of a team. Love your page. Another old man just saying keep it up my friend. LEOIII
you can tell what kind of person people are by the music they listen to and when I heard Country Music playing in your shop I knew right then I needed to subscribe
Thanks for sharing everything Billy , especially the engine tech. 😊
The more I watch your channel the more I like its great content keep em coming. I'd love to see you guys down to Bradenton again pretty awesome seeing all my favorite TH-camrs in one place competing for the win you just about had the Christmas tree race that was unexpected by many but I knew you were fast but WOW man you're really fast.
Wow, Definitely could listen to Bob talk all day long
I love how he said these things are like kids to me. Really hits home.
Dam, I just learned a lot from Uncle Bob he is a very knowledgeable person
Uncle Bob is real smart man. And grass roots. Intelligence and very down to earth
Happy New Year gang and thank you for all you do to keep us updated
