Thank you for the Jungle Pam interview, Iconic back up girl!!!!! You knock it out of the park with your channel. You sir are an ambassador for the sport!!!! GO CLAY!!!!

[@claymillican25]

Wow, thank you!

[@Seansworld17]

She is an Icon and legend to the sport! Thanks for talking with her Clay.

[@billmadison2032]

I saw Jim and Pam at us 30 dragway in 75. I wish I could go back and see it all again. they treated us kids like kings and queens. it makes me so happy to see Pam doing well. I really miss Jim, what a shame he passed away so young.

[@13699111]

Thank you for interviewing jungle Pam talk about bringing back great memories. She is right drag racing was a wildnights big traveling show for everyone. I for one miss those days , yes another old guy remembering the past . Thank you Clay Milligan !!!

[@jeffmurphree2937]

I love Jungle Pam!!! I grew up 45 minutes from Englishtown and watched Jungle Jim match race his Camaro before he met Pam. I agree with Pam on the sport becoming too corporate. I miss the spectacle, but the costs are probably too high for it to return. Thank you Pam for the great memories and to Clay for today’s!!!

[@scottr6394]

Sure miss Englishtown and Atco

[@jimthompson129]

LOVED the Jungle Pam segment!!!

[@murrayadam8576]

Without a doubt the most informative and entertaining drag racing videos on the net, thank you Clay. Great interview with Pam. Went to see the "Jungles" at Toronto International (Georgetown, Ontario, Canada) but they never made it to the show. Glad to see Pam still involved.

[@thomaslewis7883]

So nice that Pam stopped by to say hello. I'm glad she's doing well. Jim and Pam are icon's of the sport. I was lucky to have seen them thrilling drag race fans in the 1970s.

[@davidallen1664]

So good to see Ms. Pam still hanging around the tracks! What a legend!

[@joec-hd6dc]

Ok Clay, This is "In my humble opinion" the best at the track video I've seen so far and I've seen all of them. I guarantee that your followers will agree that you have NO REASON to apologize for the length of this video. WE Want more like it. Please keep these outstanding interview stories as unedited as possible. This is the outstanding content your fans love. Will be seeing you in Ennis Texas and your pit area will be our first stop of the day!!!! My goal is a autograph from the whole team!!! God bless clay and see you at the races 🤠.

[@gregelliott5066]

Great to see JUNGLE PAM. Glad she is still into racing. Wish her and her husband much luck in their endeavors.

[@Memorex88]

I have so much respect for what you do here. I'm 62 and these are the people of my generation. Thank you!

[@genelappe]

So awesome to see Jungle Pam, truly an icon for sure. Congratulations on making it into the countdown. Yay Kaylynn, getting her own fans! Great video! Be safe!

[@williammc3183]

Jungle Pam was outstanding , literally. Great job getting her on camera, she's so shy 🤭 !

[@crunchybobjones]

Hadn't seen Jungle Pam in years and yes i remember back in the day.. Good to see her again and see shes doing well, Thanks Clay ❤

[@The1jonnyz]

I lived a mile from Jungle Jim & Pam's house in West Chester PA when I was a young teen. They were great times in drag racing back then. I dragged a lot of blown up parts and tires back to my house 😂 Still run into Pam and Bill 3 or 4 times a year

[@swedenfrommycam]

Beautiful as ever Pam, really liked Russel James liberman what a show, clay u are up there 💕

[@leonardzielewski2744]

I don.t understand why you do not have more subscribers? your content is great. behind the scenes of top fuel.... Awesome

[@claymillican25]

I appreciate that!

[@scottgarber7363]

Great seeing Jungle Pam!

[@Bobbyd0052]

JUNGLE PAM ,THE LEGEND ! THANK YOU FOR THAT ! WHAT AN AWSOME PERSON ! STOMP IT !

[@demotors070161]

Great video! Wow, you covered a lot. I saw Jim and Pam at E Town several times. Usually Wednesday night shows. It was great to see you Friday. Thanks for signing my STOMP ON THAT LOUD PEDAL shirt

[@claymillican25]

Rock on!!! 😁😁😁

[@mhendricks7253]

Great video as always. Great interview with jungle Pam. She made a statement that I agree with she said that you are the most fan friendly person out there. Looking forward to seeing you in Charlotte. Great interview with Elon.

[@angushoover8670]

Great interview with Pam. She's a right about it being a spectacle, it was like seeing a Ringling Brothers Circus back in the day, only wild cars and drivers instead of wild animals and circus performers. Both a great time.

[@audiojeff33]

Great video Clay. The first model I built, was Jungles funny car. Pam and Jungle both autographed it at Cayuga. Like Pam said, they put on a great show for the fans.

[@randyporter3491]

Just an amazing channel, all because of an incredible driver. Clay clearly cares and appreciates his fans and keeps us involved and more knowledgeable than all others. Thank you Clay and I know I speak for many others here. We sincerely appreciate everything you do.

[@JamesSmith-mz9ec]

The early to mid 70's were the hay day for funny cars, I remember well being at OCIR for the 64 funny car meets or the manufacturers funny car meets! great times!

[@bobroberts2371]

Watch 34:16 to 34:41 . For those that have not crewed or raced , the audio and video capture what it is like just before the car is started / sent into battle no matter what form of racing. you are involved in.

[@quickdeuce]

Many of we who are in our upper 70's (77 here) remember the sight of seeing Jungle Jim Liberman AND Jungle Pam Hardy wayyyyy back in the day and we smile,, a HUGE smile 🙂 Jungle Pam in many of our minds is every bit as much of a legend as Don "Big Daddy" Garlits, Don "the Snake" Prudhomme, Ed "the Ace" McCulloch and as many legendary drag racers as there are. She made the role the "Back Up Girls" bring to drag racing a treat as well as an important role in the sport. Thanks for including the moments you and she shared at this race,, we enjoyed meeting her again after all these years,, VERY MUCH 🙂

[@wolfman3295]

Thank you Clay so much for interviewing Pam! She is a legend and is still so beautiful too.

[@vincereynolds6092]

Thanks for another awesome video Clay. Loved the interview with Jungle Pam! Glad to see those solid runs in qualifying, and the points that come with them. 😊

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@abcanimal]

@claymillican thank you for posting this video. It reminded me of the memories I have about E Town and the races I saw there. It was cool to see Jungle Pam there. ❤❤❤

[@jamesdetrick6035]

AWESOME VIDEO!! Jungle Pam. The Fans. The Stories. Oh, and the Raceing!

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

Something simple like the ford blue valve covers takes me back to painting the block in my 69 Mach. I was 18 and pretty happy to be messing with that motor, perfect place for an artist / race fan.

[@6by6by6]

Jungle Pam ❤ saw her at Woodburn Dragstrip in Oregon every time they came thru.. loved the Wednesday races they did on their way north to Seattle … as a 16/17/18 yr old at that time she will forever be imprinted in my heart and soul 😍

[@georgedreisch2662]

Might be interesting to get Jim, Bruce and yourself to give some insight into what goes into a lane analysis… Thanks for sharing! Thanks to Pam for the explanation of the evolution of the sport and how things have changed…

[@vehdynam]

Great video Clay ! Behind the scenes , plus two great interviews with people that helped make the sport what it is. Very much appreciated .

[@mrrolandlawrence]

Jungle Pam. what a legend. So good to see

[@Chris-ey6rn]

I love how open honest Jungle Pam is about what’s happened to the sport and her feelings about the changes good or bad. I agree with her in a lot of ways how the showmanship of the sport has gone away. The throttle wacks in the pits (few teams have brought it back) the dry hops and for Pam showing a little skin it was a big show . Also this sport has gotten more expensive and technologically has far advanced with a lot of money involved. I grew up in the Broadway Bob days . I remember the circus coming to town so to speak. Definitely a fan of you Clay and the team. Love always to Jungle Pam ❤

[@alkennedy1124]

Kaylnn is the rock star of the clutch world/beautiful, and jungal Pam is the historian rock star of i’m nostalgia days nice thanks BigAl California

[@user-yx6pj4kk3b]

Love the sound of that engine 😩

[@gcrauwels941]

So cool to see Jungle Pam! She's looking great!

[@fordhipo]

Pam is a racing treasure. Thank you for sharing that interview

[@billtruett8593]

Great video clay. Oh by the way 334 mph I don’t know how to tell you this but your already on the dance floor !!!😮

[@chadbarker6241]

As it was already written, true ambassador of the sport. Great video, Pam was great. Someday hope to meet you. Good luck this weekend.

[@erikthorstensen5185]

Jungle Pam is truly a class act. When Epping ,NH had their short lived New England Hot Rod Reunion in about the same time the first national event we had. Pan was there,just blending in with the crowd. But anyone who recognized her she stop for a picture, or an autograph. She would sign anything ,pose for a picture especially near one of the 3 jungle tribute cars. I'm not an autograph guy. Ill come to the races and just hang by the pits and just watch engine build ups. But I did snap a picture.

[@tripprogers4814]

Dear Mr. Millican, it’s 7:30am here on the Washington/Idaho border and I am sooo hungry for tomato pie and *BALLS* !!

[@tripprogers4814]

Jungle Pam brought up the “Dry Hops” to check the traction on the funny cars.. that was so awesome. Lines down the middle of the lanes made the cars look super fast, and they were..6.72 was crazy fast!

[@mwrcrft]

Great woman with wonderful stories, when she was on the cover of Hot Rod , February 1973 the magazine never sold so many copies before and if not it should have. Jim was a great showman and knew how to win a crowd.

[@daveherrington9112]

She's so right about the "spectacle" that was drag racing back then. 64 Funny Cars was huge, and while the access to racers nowadays is great, kids these days won't have the thrill I did back in the early 70's when I was walking the pits and a socket rolled in front of my foot. I picked it up, but as soon as I did, I heard a gruff voice say, "Hey kid, can you hand that to me?" As I handed it back to him, I wiped it off with my shirt, apparently that impressed him because he asked if I wanted to help out, and of course, my response was yes. So the guy gave me a red shop rag and told his crew my job was to clean the tools, and that's what I did most of the day and got paid in sodas and hotdogs. When school started back up and our assignment was to write what we did this summer, I wrote about the day I was part of Dick Landy's pit crew at SIR.

[@hjc5458]

Clay, this was by far the best video you've done. Especially with Pam Hardy, We raced at Byron, IL on sunday after the race we all stopped at a restaurant down the road. Jim and Pam with many others. Then on Thursday AM I got word of his fatal accident. What a showman, miss the match race days.

[@Bdogg12784]

Jungle pam!!! She's a legend for sure. I do have to agree with her in wanting to see a spectacle. The speed is pretty awesome too though.

[@billmiller7138]

To someone who destroyed more than his share of iron 426 blocks, that DSR piece looks amazing! Let’s go at Zmax!

[@1hasbeen531]

Great to see Jungle Pam again! Agree 100% with her viewpoint on racing, too.

[@toocamcivic]

Clay thank you for sharing the time you spent with jungle Pam! She truly is a treasure!

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Awesome you got an interview with the icon Jungle Pam. Certainly not someone you hear so much about these days, but a piece of drag racing history you're helping keep alive with that interview. Shame it didnt turn out better at the Grove, but you're still in man and the battle ain't over yet. Got plenty of time to start stacking points up. On a side note, I was there at Maple Grove on Saturday, saw you signing signatures for a line of 30 or so people and figured I'd not add to it 😂 Beat of luck to you and the whole Parts Plus team at zMAX! Rootin' for ya!

[@claymillican25]

😁😁😁

[@tomp1612]

Great video. Very cool to see Pam there. Elon had some good stuff, I agree with him about John Force. I got to spend a couple hours with him and just six other guys and he was telling stories and answering any questions we had. Hopefully Brakleen asks Clay to come to the Lordco trade show in Vancouver next year and we can get to chat like that !

[@randyporter3491]

I speak for a lot of Tennessee firefighters, when I say we have been huge fans of Jungle Pam for decades. But, we're even bigger fans of our fellow Tennessean - Clay ! Thanks so much for sharing the visit with Pam. And she is right, you are the friendliest, most personable guy at the track and fans love you for including us through your channel and at the races. Safe runs and many win lights in '24 brother !

[@wythetrumpet6419]

My goodness Clay, all that food is as impressive as those 11,000 horsepower top fuel engines! Stomp on that Loud Peddle Buddy! 💥💨

[@tonyradmilovich3154]

As an old west coast Pro Stock racer from the 70's, I have many memories of Pam (and JJ) in action, everywhere from Irwindale, Pomona, Ontario, Portland, Seattle, etc, etc. Pro category drag racing was a very different world back then, especially for us peons who raced for round money and the occasional contingency payout at major races. It was all for the thrill and challenge and the chance to go really fast for a few seconds.

[@aguyinnc2865]

Absolutely love Jungle Pam! Never got to see her and Jungle Jim race, I was in high school '70 thru '74, but they were in all the Hot Rod magazines, and I cut out a magazine pic of her and kept it from way back then. She was a beautiful lady back then and she is today. Would love to meet her someday!

[@garthhowe297]

Terrific video Clay. You are such a joy to watch. Glad to see Pam at the track.

[@HeavyDKC1]

Jungle Pam was before I was born but ive always loved her. She was the type of girl I wanted to marry. Clay and jungle pam, I don't want to leave any names out but these 2 have been in so much to this sport. 2 hell of fame living legends.

[@borgonianevolution]

I sooo remember watching ABC's Wide World of Sports on Sundays with my Uncle and Grandfather back in the day and seeing Pam when they would show funny car races. I was still into baseball, hunting and fishing at age 10 or so back then but my Uncle was sure fired up when Pam would appear on the screen. Remember the days of Snake and Mongoose? EPIC race rivals! I had built those old Revel Model kits of their cars and always had a funny car and some sort of aircraft in our schools front display case.

[@rickeh100]

What a beautiful, honest, Lady! I hope to meet her some day! Thank You Pam for keeping it real. Her autograph is my holy grail of motor sports! In small town Canada all we had was Wide World of Sports for Drag Racing.

[@kentlypeterman2414]

Thanks for the interview with Jungle Pam. I liked Jungle Jim just because of her back in the 70s ! Quick question... Do the new tires take less distance to burn in ? I notice the burnouts are real short these days. Thanks Clay. You are the best .

[@Lozza_H]

Great to see Pam. What an absolute angel.

[@dloneyv8]

You said it Clay. LEGEND! Love you Pam!

[@earleholt4380]

Love the old stories

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

🏁Enjoyed!!!!!🏁

[@rprice7670]

So much good stuff going on in this video Clay so it makes it hard to comment. Thank you for sharing you the man Clay. The engine block Pam which is such a big Icon for sure 3.72 334 The wife is on top of them points lol People wanting the best clutch girl in the business lol. On an on 😂 Thank you so much

[@BoilerRoomRadio]

This was an awesome video Clay... the stories were priceless.... much more like this one.

[@andrewjmcgee]

that Jungle Pam still has it going on!! made my day!!

[@nonyabiz2777]

Kindness is a weakness to the indecent but virtuous to the decent. I have said it before but Clay is among our most decent.

[@Bunch007]

It was a great weekend. I went on Friday, Sunday and Monday (Because Sunday the event got rained out later in the day). It was great to see some track records broken by some of the classes. No world records though but boy, some were CLOSE!!! Glad I got to meet you again. Even though we meet every year. My name is Dennis. With all the folks you meet you probably don't remember, which is understandable. Anyway, Weis bologna isn't bad but next year, I'll bring you the best bologna, Hippey's Ring Bologna!!! Locally made here in Denver, Pennsylvania! Berks also makes a great bologna too.

[@realnikonlover6207]

Jungle Pam is what dreams were made of in the 70's. And she is still sweet, pretty and charming. Memories of gold.

[@wideslammer]

I like the fact that Clay signed a readable autograph on the gal's cowboy hat rather than scrawling a "CM51" or something like that.

[@johnboywaltonbeard4699]

Clay…I have meet Jungle Pam a few times. Sat with her at a Draw auction. Chatted with her at car shows. I have her autographed picture on my filing cabinet. She is just as Personable as you, Clay. One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see Jungle Jim make a run. I started going to Raceway Park in 1977.

[@robertwagner8596]

greetings from north carolina,,,thanks for sharing,excellant interview with Pam,gotta love her...

[@roberthevern6169]

If the Internet doesn't lie(?!), Ms Hardy even made it to I-dee-ho where I live! It was 1975, so I was 2 yrs out of HS and at Firebird Raceway near Boise. Unsure if Jim was there or, like Big did sent a substitute driver (Starvin' Marvin Schwartz!). Me and some buddies were there that night! Very cool to see her again! Thanks to Clay and the team! Stomp on that LOUD pedal!!

[@hotrodhomefree]

I love the behind the scenes stuff, Clay!! Makes me understand how technical everything is!! It's amazing how the sport evolved from the days when there were no computers or data... speaking of that, did you run dragsters when there was no data other than speed and time? Maybe you can compare the old days of racing to now with a video! That would be interesting...

[@joebradley7317]

At the beginning of the year I said you'd win 3 races this year. You're 2 down & 1 to go so now I am saying that your third win will be the 2023 points championship. We all know you are a great racecar driver with a great team but what we didn't know was how good you are @ editing your videos. The race qualifying video is just as good as television does it so Well Done. Now go Win that Championship !!!

[@claymillican25]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@stuartlowes4972]

Jungle Pam is an icon to the sport, loved it. Also I see Kaylynn was measuring your clutch map, Is this normal to change leaver heights between rounds? as always love your videos and am counting down the days till Vegas. (long flight from England.).

[@markthegunplumber8376]

When I was a kid my Dad used to take me to the drags to see Pam and some drag racing was going on as I remember. With he usual instructions not to tell Mom about what Pam was or wasn't wearing. A guys day out so to speak.

[@teresagoodwin7458]

Clay you are the most amazing human that I would love to meet along with Mrs Donna and your whole team because they are beyond AWESOME!!! PHENOMENAL RUN @ 334 WOW!!!! THAT NUMBER INTRIGUED ME KNOWING THAT JIMMO AND TEAM AND RICK WARE CAN GET A FEW MORE MILES AN HOUR. I BELIEVE YOU'LL HIT 340 MPH BEFORE ANY OTHER DRIVER'S 🏆🏆🏆💞🤗💞🙏🏻 CHAMPIONSHIP COMING 🏆🏆🏆🏆💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻and you have the most interesting people on with you. Your videos are a Blast and so much fun 💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻Thanks for taking us along and enjoying the excitement with you!!! 👍💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@billyokley6723]

Clay can do some of the best videos. This is by far one of the best, you can tell he loves his job. Thanks for sharing your day, "You guys are the best"!

[@572camaroguy]

That Black and White photo is Not Pam. That is Barbara Roufs. Many people confuse them...Love to see Pam still out there and I agree 100% The bought in shows are way more enjoyable.

[@claymillican25]

That was a mistake and that’s what happens when you are working on no sleep and editing on your phone and in an airplane that is hours late getting you home.

[@kennethhacker3014]

She so important to the sport!!! Hope she knows it..and shes aging well.sending good vibes from NJ

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Pam Hardy is an amazing lady. I got to know her when we sold our former NHRA Chevy Vega AA/FC to Jim Liberman in 1974. That car is now at Don Garlits Museum in Ocala FL

[@gregsidel3557]

Good job Clay and the team

[@michaelhastie7324]

What impressed me about this race was the crowd. Looked like a super turnout. (I am already more than impressed with your crew Clay and the way things are done, repeated over and over to keep things as consistent as possible.) A call from the owner must be a good luck charm.

[@jimgiordano8218]

The last time I had seen Jungle Pam was 1975 at Long Islands National Speedway along with Shirley "Cha Cha" and Don "The Snake" Prudome. Back then the Top Fuel engines were putting out a wopping 1500 hp.

[@TGSamantha091]

Jungle Pam, not only beautiful, but very well spoken.. She seems amazing

[@charlesivey100]

I remember the mid-week match races when one of the Jungle Jim cars, Gene Snow, and others rolled through where I lived. A local radio station would announce the match race a few hours before the event. Usually, these drivers were on their way to another race and the drag strip was not far from the interstate. Of course, we had a major race once a year that brought in all of the heavies of the day.

[@donstevenson2660]

If only exhibition touring could come back! IHRA was the last org. to try maintaining entertainment value, but the money won out. It's good to see all you vets of early 2000's in IHRA are going strong today.

[@JohnW1711stock]

Jungle Jim ran a 7.19 at Capitol Raceway in 1969 and the crowd went wild. Never forget that night.

[@outragousbob4367]

Yes Pam, we do love Clay but you as well!

[@every-istand-ophobe6320]

She is 100% correct.. drag racing was about the show

[@peternewman958]

Good to see Bruce Read working with you guys again Clay.

He's been with them all season where have you been lol!

[@kidwave1]

Good peeps here, glad I found y'all. Best wishes.
