I know it's a pain in the ass for Jim-O to sit down and talk about the runs... but, boy is it interesting!! Please, keep doing this format.

Love the fact Jim is comfortable to explain these things on camera. Thanks to the whole crew.

We agree!

Loved the Jimmo interview. His explanations coupled with the humor and candor, rocks it! That detonation was good for a headache for sure… Thanks for sharing.

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrismayhand7918]

Really like the more detail with you and Jim O, loved the whole video. I have gotten back into watching drag racing because of your channel.

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Crazy weekend for sure !!! Really dug the powow with jimbo , good stuff ( as long as its not the impersonators ) 😂🔧👍🇺🇸🏆

[@claymillican25]

You got that right!

[@jeffreysalmon6094]

I always like the conversation in the trailer after the run. As an old drag racer, learning what happens is the most interesting part. When I am at the races, I might watch one round from the grandstands but the rest of the time I will spend in the pets watching the car get prepped for the next round.

[@StevenRigg-oh7ng]

Sitting here in London, England and I can tell you that the tech content is pure GOLD. There is absolutely nothing else out there that shows anything like the detail you guys are sharing, so keep up the good work!

[@SosopChabot]

It was unreal the monster runs laid down everyone, you qualified 10th (?) with a 3.68, nuts! Thanks for the breakdown with Jim-o AND showing us the carnage!

[@vehdynam]

Wow that certainly showed the power of what is contained within these fuel motors , a literal explosion ! I do enjoy the new lounge portion , but I hope Jimbo does not feel like he is being put on the spot . The other way was a little more casual . Either way I'm good. Good luck and thanks Clay.

[@ultraspinacle]

Yes yes yes, Clay! I liked the debriefs and even the commercial breaks. Keep em coming, and knock em out in Vegas!

The debriefings after runs is always awesome, thank you for working them back in. Congratulations to you all for steady improvement all year. Hope the momentum continues, it’s been great to see.

[@brentanthony701]

I like the way you did your video. The look on Jim Os face when Donna came in with the crack an egg thing was priceless

[@aggieforce]

I ALWAYS enjoy your content and especially on the races. Home track so great to see you here at the Texas Motorplex here in Ennis,TX. Been out here since it began in 1986 since I live close to the track 😊. I appreciate the in trailer information so much and if I could hit a love button I would. The time ya'll take to actually talk about what happens and how you may change things (with a few deleted tuning things I am sure 😉). This track always has great performance and with the perfect weather this year it was killer!!! Enjoy seeing the entire team and the behind the scenes of how it all comes together! Great episode and I look forward to the race day one when you post it!! Thanks for being just one of the best personalities in our sport and always being a positive role model for everyone... that smile and enthusiasm is just awesome!

[@claymillican25]

Thank You 🙏

[@VaughanGuitars]

Hey Clay, Loved the post run debriefs today. I still enjoy seeing you all discuss the track run while evaluating data as well. Combine the two and I think you will have a real winner on your hands! And Clay don't stomp that pedal quite so hard, hate seeing the car reaching for the sky!!

[@mytube400]

Being on the inside with you and Jimbo is a great add!

[@georgedennison3338]

I think I've told you I started working in my uncle's shop when I was 12. Years before, my uncle had been a flat head guru & was the mechanic on the local ¼ mile dirt track hero's race car for years. I remember hearing them talk about racing when I was little. Being a normal boy, an explosion & pyro-maniac, my ears always perked up when they talked about blowing up motors. Boy, was I disappointed when I got older & experienced my 1st blowed up engine. I have wondered, at times, through out my life the origination of the phrase, 'blowing up an engine.' At 70, I finally know. Thanks, Clay... never too old to learn something new. GeoD

[@trkdrvr24]

Oh wow, Love me some Jimmy Dale…..Tell’em boi……Clay you are the best!! Great content as always 🏁🏁🏁🏁 Stomp on that loud pedal!!!!

[@tripprogers4814]

Dear Mr. Millican, we are so glad nobody caught a flying valve and OH.. by the way, if you want that piston back, it landed up here right on the Idaho/Washington border and I got it for you. But, what everyone wants to know is 35:14 *is that BLAINE who doesn’t know “Wanted Dead or Alive” is BON JOVI???*

[@tripprogers4814]

We listen so intensely that we hear the background conversations along with the Jim-O convo!

[@stevencwilliams5517]

Glad you didn't get hurt when the engine let go and when the wheelie came down and when the guy smacked the tow vehicle. It was great to finally meet Jim O on the start line and shake his hand, and meet Donna at the pit. I only got to say hi to you, but you were busy getting things opened up and running. I gave John my business card, so if y'all need anything I can help with, let me know. Love the sit down with you and Jim O. (Even the commercial breaks 😅). Good luck in Vegas.

[@justachipn3039]

Man, there's nothing better in racing then you and Jim in a sit-down !!!

[@chrisminter271]

Liking the extra input from Jimmo. Really enjoyed watching his video with "Engine Builder".

[@jafo461]

Just my humble observations. I like the previous post run trailer footage. The emotions are more real. Crewmembers walking in and out with data, real reactions, unprepared responses, etc. I like to watch you and Jim and the crew working things out. Now it looks like you're just interviewing Jim after you've gone through all the steps to dissect the run. You're special Clay. Keep it up.

[@robsdeviceunknown]

I actually DID enjoy the breakdown. For ignorant people like me who knows nothing about drag racing, it was enlightning. I appreciate it Clay. Keep it coming.

[@HappyJack19]

Absolutely love the new “Jim-O-vision” segment!! What an up and down weekend but love to see the entire team pull together and turn on some win lights. Jim-O and Clay are both true inspirations and I can’t wait to root for this team to succeed in the future. What a season!! Keep stompin’ on that loud pedal!! P.S. miss seeing Bruce in this weeks video

[@jeradelee923]

Love ya man! It was awesome talking to you and I think next year I’m gonna spend the weekend god willing! All of the inside looks are amazing the whole crew is just as humble as you! God bless buddy! Can’t wait to see race day bud!

Good showing and keep the positive attitudes! Race on team!

[@davidrensel9940]

Loved the sit down with Jim. That little bit of data you were able to show is awesome. Would love to see more of what you can share without tipping off the competition. Thanks Clay for the great behind the scenes.

My daddy’s friend Steve got a connecting rod from your car, he gave it to me today. I’m very honored to have a piece from such an incredible machine. I loved the day I first got to see top fuel racing, and a little piece of my childhood came back to me. You’re incredibly talented, sir

We love taking our dogs with us in the RV. BILL Schultz’s first words when we would meet up was “where’s your dogs”? While we would be talking about our game plan he would usually have our Chaweenie patty on his lap. Bill was a lot like Lahaie. Small changes and risk vs reward. Good weekend kids 🤘🏼

[@markprater4016]

[@ddmau7995]

Clay, long time fan, Ive got a sammie for you .slice bannana lenghth wise ,( like bacon strips) . Lather one bread slice with Mayonnaise & place banana on Mayonnaise. Next put peanut butter on other slice .then a handful of potato chips ontop of peanut butter . Put the 2 slices together and smash them together . You now have the incredible TayTay smash !

I enjoy the lounge Deep Dive, however… I REALLY like the “live lounge” as it captures the emotion of the last pass. And Kaylynn shows up sometimes. 😂

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Jimmy Dale`s a hoot, and he also loves to STOMP on that loud pedal. Like Blaine, my long hair will never be in a bet, keeps my head warm in winter.😁 Love how Jimbo puts in terms everyone can understand. Wow Clay, it really went BOOM, Thank Jesus no one was hurt.. You have a great crew Clay, they got you back on track. They never give up. Keep that format Clay with Jim, it rocks. Stay safe Parts Plus Team, God Bless.

[@wolfman3295]

That sure was a very big boomer Clay but very glad you and the crew didn't get hurt. And yes I really liked the interview with Jim-o too. Another great video! Thanks Clay!

[@Stretch1931]

The race breakdown you both did was really helpful. For someone who is just a viewer and not a participant, it's really helpful to get more of the technical details. And for all those fans in the stands, they can go back in the youtube archives and get the nitty gritty on what happened during the race they were witnessing.

Best ever content !! Post mortem in the lounge is great, feel very privileged to have Jimo share some secrets with us. Not sure how you guys could know oil pressure was gone, the noise of the idle cackle would drown out the big ends complaining. I watch the race from Australia on NRHA TV, and the back story - wheelie for 1 sec, why the belt let go- is fantastic and lets me enjoy the sport so much more. Well done to everyone & thanks.

[@sammiehill9679]

Loved that 1st pass Friday night,I got a pic of you working on ur helmet but get a chance to get another pic with you this yr. Had my 88yo dad with me so I didn't get a chance to get bk to the pits. Good luck brother and win these last 2 events. STOMP ON THAT LOUD PETAL 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I'm just happy to see that you are no one else was injured , if not worse since it was literally right in the middle of the starting line crowd that's within 30' radius of where she coughed her lungs out..

I brought my 11 yr old son over to your pit, and he talked to Jim O, who talked about the computer system and how the car is tuned. He loved the in depth and someone talking to him like he was an adult. Thank you both for being the kind of people you are. And stomp on that loud pedal!

Yes yes and yes. More of the strep with Jim O is great and to the man who makes all of this possible, a HUGE thank you to Rick for everything. The RWR Parts Plus dragster team is nothing short of amazing. Who could've foreseen the oil pump quitting after the burnout--nobody. That was just unreal.
