Clay, once again i want to thank you for showing us behind the curtains what it takes to run a top fuel team. Good luck and stay safe.
These are awesome to watch!
I said it before and I'll say it again that's why I love you Clay. No other NHRA Top Fuel driver interacts with their fans and gives us all the inside looks of what goes on in a race team not only that but I love Kaily. Her knowledge of those cars and all the work she does behind the scenes is amazing.
Always impressed with Kaylynn's knowledge, she's a critical part of that team. A big win is coming!
Drag racing, on asphalt or water, has been in my blood since I was a kid. The last time I had a driver or crew chief give out this much information was when I moved across the street and became friends with one of the top AA/FA owner/builder/driver in the mid 60's and 70's. What your videos do is give every Joe/Jane Ordinary a look behind the scenes, something usually kept away from the public and That's why we love you, Clay!
Not only entertaining but educational as well. Always learning something new with Clay!
As a life long fan of drag racing I love your videos, it is really cool to get look at the inner working of your team. The videos of what you all do when not racing is awesome too. As a fan we forget to remember that you have lives outside of the sport.
Ar least you know the people playing with your rear end,much better than a random stranger. As always thanks for taking time out of your day to share. So appreciated.
Hi, Clay, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy seeing the inside of your drag team I have learned so much. I'm now 67 and I grew up watching Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney. I used to go to Niagra drag strip and Lancaster Speedway in Western NYS. I witness the very first race between Garlits and Muldowney at Lancaster. She won by the way. Thanks so much for your channel and giving us all a look inside a race team. Your a good person inside brother. Stay safe.
love the way you include all of your fans in your day to day activities, its like we are there with you. I can hardly wait for your videos to come out. stomp that loud peddle!!!!!
Just love the time you take to show what's happening and insight into what goes on behind the scenes! Keep up the good work team &the man Clay!
Steve has provided Great Service for US also He has been Patient as a Saint to me!! and all my questions!!!
Thanks again Clay. You are the KING of NHRA Top Fuel!
That pinion gear is massive. The ring gear is sure enough big, but the pinion gear is massive.
A really great guy who loves what he does. Always has a smile
A testament to knowing the car so well that you can feel something wasn't right and to know it's either the clutch or the rear end only comes through years of piloting a top fuel dragster. That's amazing in itself! Kudos for sharing the insight and that ring and pinion are huge!
Never knew how the cars were transported so thank you for sharing that as well! 🏁👍
Thanks Clay. Your videos are always killer good. I really enjoy watching behind-the-scenes stuff that we don’t see on race day.
Awesome , Broke my rear end once , Doc fixed it , Thanks Clay and Crew. 😀
Great racing this weekend! Thanks you all for chatting with us, y'all are as nice and genuine irl as you all are on the vids!
Clay, I really enjoy your videos you do for us. Showing us what goes on behind the scenes during race day.
I also think you are one of a kind racer who takes the time to talk with us at the races and I will always remember how kind you were towards my cousin Bret to allow him to place a sticker on your car, Goethe Enterprises.
Hope to see you at Pomona.
I’ve always watched racing but never been too big on drag racing. I enjoyed it in person but not on tv. However, being able to watch the behind the scenes is awesome. You guys have what I would call a team (family).
Thank you Clay, for all the great content you put out out. I have learned a lot about top fuel cars from watching your channel. Kay Lynn is a very smart girl. I could see her becoming a crew chief one day.
Re someone asking you about the bladders during travel, we find it hard to understand why someone would ask that question. The PartsPlus team IS A PROFESSIONAL NHRA DRAG RACING TEAM,, they know what they're doing! Anyway, for thoe who don't know, Thank YOU Clay for answering that question. You're just too cool buddy :)
CLAY-ON LOVE- how you treat your crew{kids]-you are an amazing-Kaily and Izzy Rock!
Thanks for showing us the stuff that it takes to make it all go down the track and down the highway!
Thanks for the behind the scenes. Did not know the transportation of the car is where it gets beat up the most. Thought it was the stress of actually racing is what does it.
Tying up the car in the top of the transport is great info to know. And getting 56 runs on the rear end with all the burn-outs and instant acceleration is amazing. Keep up the great videos Clay. Good luck.
I got to talk to Clay this week end up in Saint Louis with his win , very humble guy, will talk to any one, way to go clay and crew
That is a serious pinion. Love your videos because you cover stuff most of us would never think of.
Very Cool 😎 Behind The Scene
This is fascinating. I appreciate the transparency and insight on small details the average person does not see. Best of luck in Topeka! Safe travels home !
I absolutely love the information that you and your crew talk about on the behind the scenes of what normal people see at a weekend race!! Stay safe out there and I will see you at Indy!
Those are some serious rearends! LOL! Cool info about strapping the car down.
That pinon gear looked like the size of a cantaloupe. WOW!!!
Great to see all the stuff that is not shown normally, great to know you so proactive on the chassis safety. Stuff that may have been sadly overlooked in the Darrel Gwynn days.
Thanks, Clay.
Things like the two topics you talked about today is exactly one of the main reasons that I love your channel!
Thanks again!
Just like I told you on Friday at the track (in Seattle), you do the best job explaining this sport for those of us on the other side of the barrier stanchions. Thanks again.
Wow, that ring and pinion looks like it could be in a semi truck. It’s flipping’ huge!
Thank You Clay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great content mate, love seeing behind the scenes with the guys and girls working hard so you can jump on that loud peddle.
No other driver explains everything like you do. Keep posting and thanks
Cool video!! Detroit Loves you!!! G
Thanks Clay, so neat to see this stuff.
Always like seeing the behind the scenes stuff
It is amazing to hear from 187Customs, who say that their bladder system has made a significant difference. Shawn mentioned that every mile Murder Nova made inside the hauler was equal to 2-3 miles on the road and the bladders weren't a perfect solution, but it was much improved. we are fascinated to see the hauler workings and the amount of prep it takes during the week.
..and go win in Seattle today!! #todayistheday
Great explanation, from snapping the knob off your end to tying down your executive vehicle .
Great video 👍🇬🇧
Super cool and interesting, thanks for the behind the scenes
Very cool info on how you transport the car. Never would have guessed, but it totally makes sense.
Keep up the awesome content, as you answer questions some of us would have never known to ask!!!
STOMP ON THAT LOAD PEDAL!!!!! Parts Plus Stringer Performance FOREVER!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Very interesting!! Thank you Clay.
Hey Clay, you just keep us on the inside of stuff. You are training 41k subscribers to come out and help. I volunteer to be the first Clay Millican subscriber to come out and maybe travel in the Suburban to the start line, watch the start up, burn out and launch, ride down , pull it back to pits and get out of the way. Ennis, TX 10/16/2022. I'll be there anyway. CYA SOTLP
Awesome idea
I live watching your stuff
What a jewel you and your crew are. So much info as always the little things most of us do not know .Thanks again Clay you are the best.
👍
Clay, thanks for the insight on how you transport your big go cart, you don' want the chasse to flex while being transported across our wonderful US roads. I've been a fan of drag racing for 50 years and did not know how the car was secured in the hauler.
2 subjects never talked about Thank you
Thanks
That was really interesting Clay. Thank your explaining all the stuff you do.
Clay I have watched for years on my TV under a TH-cam alias. I am using my phone to say LOVE YOUR CONTENT! Thank You and Your Team.
Clay.. please don't forget (if you can) to put a camera on the guys n gal pulling the motor down and reassemble. That would be sooo freaking awesome .. THANK YOU SIR.. AND GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND.. LETS BRING HOME THAT WALLY
I really need to do that but it’s tough when we don’t have a dedicated camera person other than me 😁 When the tear down is happening that usually when I am in the crew chief area with Jim O. I will try and make that happen though at some point.
@@claymillican25 yea I knew u sidnt have time to do that but was thinking maybe you could find a volunteer to maybe set up a cam over your office and hang it overhead from the awning or something like that.. lol..anyways brother ,keep cuttin that tree down and get us a wally SOON... i can hear the chantin from everyone now.... we want a Wally...we want a wally.. we want a wally.... good luck and stay safe. GOD BLESS
Can't thank you enough for all that you do!
Wow you do it right. Frame inspection being a critical part of any maintenance program. Short of hanging it you do as much as seemingly possible. Cheers
Just as we were joking around with rear ends and how a Ford 9 inch is the best and said "then how stout a 12" would be" not expecting that's what Top Fuel dragsters use!
Now about mounting the chassis solid to the trailer on transport - that does sound a nice thing to do but might need a jig to hold it in that would support its entire length to be strapped down relatively hard and the tires has to come off
great to watch
Fantastic explanation Clay, Thank you.
Love it, short and packed with info, I've never NOT enjoyed one of your videos and I doubt that'll ever change no matter what you do :)
I remember when you may have been lucky to get 2 runs from a gear set. Having the pinion support shear off like that is indeed unusual. It looks to have broke right at the fillet of the ground bearing. perhaps a fracture started right there. I was an engineer for U S Gear back in the 80's. Right at the inception of the 12' gear sets. Good luck Clay.
Thank you for a behind the scenes look ..
Thanks for the great content Clay!
Cant wait to see you Guys in Brainerd Mn ! First Win will be in Brainerd !
Doggonnit Clay!! Will 'Lady Luck' EVER arrive in the PartsPlus pits? Geeeez! That ol saying,, "If it weren't for BAD LUCK we'd have no luck at all!" applies doesn't it. Daymn,, the PartsPlus's turn for Lady Luck to show up is just around the corner! Hang in there,, she has your number and she'll call with some good luck soon.
Thanks Clay for very informative content, always enjoy you perspective the behind the scenes of T/F is very fascinating 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺
Another great job Clay and your crew. You continued videos on how you do things are great. It continues to show how much work is done by you dedicated crew members. Keep up the great reporting and videos.
Cool to see that!
I love your behind the scenes look at the team! Thank you so much for doing this!
I always love to listen to your talk about this amazing Hot Rod !. keep it coming !.😊😊
Clay I work on a Nostalgia Nitro funny car team. And the insight that you just gave on how you guys transport the top fuel dragsters was absolutely phenomenal
Hello Clay, I always route for you during each race
I enjoy what you do clay keep it going thank you
Awesome content again Clay. These are the details most of us, had no idea went into racing.
Really enjoy the technical videos along with all the rest. I used to build all the quick change rears for our dirt modifieds. Hope to see you at Maple Grove!!!
Thanks so much for your info about straping down a dragster
Great video as always. Thanks.
Another informative video. Thank you for sharing the teams knowledge.
🤠
love all the behind the camera pit stuff supper cool to see how everything works and what it takes to be a competitor in top fuel thank you for what you do keep it up bro and see you in Topeka ya buddy
Clay you are a class act, I love your attitude. Good luck always, see you at the races (on TV)
This is one of your videos that I love your channel for. Seems irrelevant for those who work in the team. But for the fan they are interesting details.
You're such an Awesome guy, Thanks for the content.
your channel is great clay!! i hope it takes off even more. like a ton of others have posted no other driver shares as much with fans as you and your crew does. You and your crew have anwsered so many questions about top fuel racing its great. Seeing you with some of the other you tubers and sharing with them is great, love watching you and brent from pfi speed working on your personal stuff is hilarious. Watching you and kevin with KSR nerd out about all the data is hilarious. keep the content coming. best of luck to you and your team.
Was nice to meet you in Seattle good luck in Topeka
That’s kinda what we did with my grandpas dragster; but we had straps that went over the tire and in the front, we also had 2 rubber things aswell .
Another interesting video. It's impressive how multi-talented your crew is and how well they work together. It was nice to show us how the car is transported in the trailer. I'm really glad that you invited Keven Smith to spend some time with you a number of weeks ago. That's how I found your channel.
Thanks for the content and an inside look at your program. 👍
The bladders are a great idea! But it seems there should be some sort of plate between bladder and frame; spreading the load over more surface area of the tubing rather than in the fairly small concentrated spot. But what do I know! I'm no chassis engineer!
Baby Got Back!!! I knew the rear section was a Beast... didn't know it was that stout!!!
Cogs look better than I thought they would for that many passes
Ha ha, late for work again, In Australia the videos seem to hit YT early morning. I can't wait so I have to watch it.
Hello Clay Thanks For Your Love❤ The Rear End I think it Broke > Bearings? Can you check the New bearings and thosed that broke the Diff. It might be bearing Wear?. 🤔
thank you
That pinion is about the same size in semi truck rear ends. Obviously, in the big truck the ring gear is much larger to give a different gear ratio. The yoke spline looks similiar also.
Really enjoy your explanations very interesting.
