Tip of the the hat to the town administration of Rock Falls Illinois for embracing this culture and event. I will definitely visit when I'm traveling. 👏 👏 👏 🇺🇸
You are helping a lot of people have fun Tom. Keep being creative. You have an excellent crew and the magazine has top level printing and paper along with the pictures and great stories from everywhere.
pretty awesome seeing something like this in my hometown! About time the Town loosened up a little and tried to bring in tourism!! Rock falls is a town of about 8K poeple, sterling right across the river is about 10-15k I think!
In only 10 minutes in.. I hope my dude Dave Schroeder from Canada does well . That guy is cool a.f and I always enjoy hearing him talk and make nice passes
Sad to see that he’s out as well! Though while I give him credit for making it and attempting to start the week I was very concerned about his head space! When he was talking about the wrecks and just not being all there ! He will be back and running full speed in no time !
@@Ziesingracing It's a power plant. What exactly is it you want to talk about? But hey, if you watch Drag Week, Freiburger and Lohns, make a big deal out of it when DW passes though Byron. Byron is much more interesting because they are famous for good spectators.
@@AB-80X it's not just a power plant it's a freaking nuclear power plant I think that is badass and a really cool talking point that the aera has one Also whats lohns ? I've heard of frieburger before but not lohns
We live in America. $2 Dollars is like 5 minutes on the corner asking for money. Quit crying and having your own pity party, find something you can do from home.
Well, I appreciate the accurate/nostalgic look of the gassers as that is the era I grew up in....but, in 2024, that high angle of attack could be somewhat problematic, especially when considering the capabilities of a modern street/race engine. OTOH, I never worried about stuff like that when I was young, so maybe I'm just transitioning into an old fuddy-duddy! 😊
You've now got the spotlight, everyone is now looking your way, you've been recognized for your astute observation and immense knowledge. What is your next move?
There is no such thing as another racer double bulbing you! You see the light just like they do so if you go in while they're doubled that's on you. You don't have to go in. Sit there shut the car off and wait for the other guy to backup.

I really like clark, he's such a humble dude.
Good to see Clark running.

Great to see Clark out there! Love that black Camaro!
Clark is a g... that 263drift was crazy
1320 could learn a few filming tips from you guys. Great video Tom this event is amazing.
7:58 Poor Clarkie... Has been tough on him lately.
But that Camaro has been such a handful since day one. He has to make 9 passes to get one good one.
Come on Clarkie, head up dude, you got this!! 💎
Clarke it’s good to see t you out there. Give it your best shot man.
It’s good to see the Aussie burnout guys are having fun in the background
Hang in there Clark😊
What a cool event. Thanks Tom for making this possible! Enjoying it from Europe.
Drag & Drives are my favorite!
Keep going Clark!
10:10 Way to go Bryant! Been out there beatin' on that Jav for years and it's paying off! Enjoy dinner!
The 2 lane blacktop 55 is bad ass looks just like it too
Always puts a smile on my face when I see that car! It helps that the movie was a childhood favorite growing up
Good to see Clark out there. Cheer up, man, it's sick week....
I got to see his Camaro up close, but he definitely didn't look like he wanted to talk. At all.
Can't thank you and your team enough for putting these amazing events on!!!! F#*N SICK!!!!!!
The gasser Chevy II looks like a handful…👍
Sick pajamas?!? Hell, YES, I’d buy some!!
Clark has the funniest take on today
Great episode. Luv it that you showed all the cars racing. Fantastic work. Now i know why Hardass coverage was great. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
SICK WEEK LET'S GO! 😁👍
pretty awesome seeing something like this in my hometown! About time the Town loosened up a little and tried to bring in tourism!! Rock falls is a town of about 8K poeple, sterling right across the river is about 10-15k I think!
Where the heck is the Canadian Chuck Norris in the GTO
Give them a short drive then entice them with a burnout pit... LOL nice alternative stress test.
Great coverage! Thanks!
So, the mayor of Rock Falls also owns the local tyre shop?! haha so fun to watch!!!
Cleetus 6.68 at 220
Yeah, but looks like they did not set their valve lash properly, and now they have a broken lifter in #7.
Great coverage
Thanks for the awesome content guys!!! Hope the milk truck gets fixed dang it!
In only 10 minutes in.. I hope my dude Dave Schroeder from Canada does well . That guy is cool a.f and I always enjoy hearing him talk and make nice passes
Thanks for your hard work
Really need the stage timer on.
That twin blower mustang is beautiful
The Deerslayer is back!
5:07 that car is wild
So, the ice cream van is outa hotdogs and ice cream sandwiches and sick week is all outa Oreo McFlurry's. . Tut tut.
Really wish we could of made it this year. Hopefully next year we will make it.
Sick Jammies …I’m in man
Tom Bailey, Why didn't you bring 2.0 ??
I do ❤ a drag N drive 🇦🇺👈
So can I win that ute and have it sent back home
Thank you Tom bad ass content
Hey Clark, cool that you're there, I hope you have a great week. Update: I see on the results you're out. Bummer.
Sad to see that he’s out as well! Though while I give him credit for making it and attempting to start the week I was very concerned about his head space! When he was talking about the wrecks and just not being all there ! He will be back and running full speed in no time !
Anyone spot the Nivlac Camaro with the Vortec 4200 under the hood?
... AWESOME
Rooting for you Clark you've had a rough couple weeks.
Is that a Fire in the background or a Power plant ☝️👀
Bel air, Upper Marlboro!
Hells Yea NickkyBobby, gotta have fun even if the car doesn't want to!
Please do an interview with the driver of the Camaro with what looks like twin magnuson superchargers. That is just baddass.
Sick PJ’s! Hell yes, I will buy some.
What’s the drones 1/4 mile time? That thing is quick 👍
Sick !
nice, been waiting for this. Time to take lunch break me thinks
What’s the song in the beginning name ? Thanks
Sick the Mag Pajamas. Let’s go!
Crazy good video 👌🫡
Nick Taylor is nominated for the Fruit of the Loom fresh undies award
Will this void the tire warranty?
You should make a small tire 28/10.5 no prep class for drag week
I need someone to tell me what all that white smoke in the background is about?
Nuclear power plant
@@BDR920 10-4
@@BDR920the liberal Illinois trash is trying to close it down
Is it just me or does it seem like there's something burning off in the distance at the end of a lot of tracks
What song is that intro anybody know?
Sick’ Jamas… Let’s Go!
Cool intro. 😎
"LIKE" tom , "like, like like "
Where is Steve Morris?
He's not there, I asked Tom personally myself. I was looking for him all day 😔
He's on his way with new lifters for Garrett. But he's running his business.
Yup he said in his latest vid too behind at the shop
Man I feel bad for nicky Bobby such a cool ass dude hard worker always having bad luck lol
Not sure all guys will agree that being engaged with Alex Taylor, are considered always having bad luck. 😁
Sick!!!!!
Kudos to Brian. 6.40 boomer
10:09 what dbag double bulbing the dude.
Don't be a girl. It's drag racing. That's just part of the game.
Is Steve not racing this year?
Why no live stream?
i would 100% buy a pair of sick the PJ bottoms
what is the enormous cloud behind the track ? i hope not fire
The Byron nuclear power plant
Just a cooling tower
@@metrickarma wow and that's not a talking point ? How did they not mention that
@@Ziesingracing
It's a power plant. What exactly is it you want to talk about?
But hey, if you watch Drag Week, Freiburger and Lohns, make a big deal out of it when DW passes though Byron.
Byron is much more interesting because they are famous for good spectators.
@@AB-80X it's not just a power plant it's a freaking nuclear power plant I think that is badass and a really cool talking point that the aera has one
Also whats lohns ? I've heard of frieburger before but not lohns
Is that drag strip down hill or sloped
Sloped at the end.
And Like Tom Says "DON'T BE A SWEATER"!!🤠
That dodge truck transmission gonna go in 801 miles 😂
Tommy B, the Dana White of D&D
Down?
WHAT THE *HECK* WAS THAT?? 42:20
❤
Why didn’t Steve Morris make it?
Because he has a business to run.
@@AB-80X never stopped him before
@@600wheel
No, but there's a limit to everything. Too much work and a big backlog.
Think it was great when it was free. I can’t work and in need of surgery so the 2 dollars is above my budget. Lol
We live in America. $2 Dollars is like 5 minutes on the corner asking for money. Quit crying and having your own pity party, find something you can do from home.
wish either of my subscriptions would work, can't watch it!
Greedy Tom Bailey in Illinois
With no Snot Rocket this event is Cleetus/Mullet vs Goldstone/Red Flames for #1 overall, and maybe Alex if she's lucky, imhonaf
Garrett messed up his engine. Did not set valve lash properly. Steve is on his way with new lifters.
Cletus seems to have too much stuff going on to keep his car in top shape. Hasn’t been very consistent with it for a while now.
A screen that is 1:1 for Tom.

so there is a sick week AND a sick summer?
Yeah. But the best is yet to come. Drag Week.
✌️😁
Whos the dude in the red shirt who keeps getting on camera and yelling? With the misfitting tattoo on his forearm?
You can really see the steam from the nuclear cooling towers in the background
You've now got the spotlight, everyone is now looking your way, you've been recognized for your astute observation and immense knowledge. What is your next move?
Cordova is also next to a nuke plant
Byron is a dump and that’s all they have. They hire temps for manual labor crap

Hey red truck burnout dude there is no "S" pronounced in Illinois.
That one dude looks high as hell, talking.. 😂 i won't say his name. Kk..😂 do yall Make sure people ain't fucked up on something before they race?
Ev elco is siiiick ❤
