Things Got Tricky

Race day was going great beating Shawn Langdon in the first round. Second round things got interesting with unexpected tire smoke in front of us. That’s where things got tricky. #weather #tricks #car

[@royallison5173]

I was fortunate enough to give my son a big hug and tell him I loved him the last time I saw him. Never take it for granted that you will see them again. Love you Clay.

[@MattlovesNitro]

@@royallison5173 l❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@larrrs3]

Remember before the season began you talked about how you wanted to win all of the races towards the end of the season I know it's coming.

[@rharrington828]

Stepping on that thumbs up and comment pedal...😊

[@MattlovesNitro]

John Force is the Elvis of drag racing, you my friend are the Mr. Rogers of drag racing Clay Mikillin it! Love what you do for all of us!!!❤

[@jthomas728011]

It was an honor to meet you Sunday brother! I pray for you and your team, and that God blesses you all beyond measure!! Would love to come and see a full weekend with you guys!! Psalms 115:1 JT

[@paulboone44444]

Awesome! Thanks for signing my ticket! ❤#25 #51 #Badass

[@joerosa4895]

I appreciate the Q and A sessions always interesting, thanks for answering mine.

[@imsatanscott]

It's been a few years since I made the trip to Norwalk from Canada but because of this chanel I decided to come down sunday. I tell you that first round was the best round of racing I've seen in my life. That many cars all completing fast passes and side by side finishes within a few .001 was unreal. Walked out to your pit a few times and you guys were working real hard and all had smiles on. You have a unique team and I used my Summit rewards to get next years tickets already .😉

[@toddturner503]

Happy 4th Millicans and God Bless America:)

[@richardlincoln8438]

Best Wishes to everyone on the Rick Ware Racing Top Fuel Team, their Families and Friends. #RWR51

[@tracks_5991]

Antron seems like a really cool dude... Positive attitude brings positive things ... Thank You Clay

[@christophersanders5007]

I used to order parts from Jegs because they did not have any warehouses in the state of Nevada so I did not have to pay tax, but now that I have to pay tax no matter what state the company does business in I go to Summit now because they have a warehouse in Nevada. If the part I order comes from the warehouse in Nevada, and I order the part early enough in the day it shows up the next day here in Las Vegas without having even to pay for overnight shipping.

[@jasonwhitman94]

That’s awesome and convenient

[@DeeB1345]

The special scheme looks good as well as the apparel.

[@jassonhoskins367]

Love you back Clay! keep up the great content.

[@bat5917]

Clay you are always an inspiration. Your suggestion to call someone you love is something many of us think about, but don’t execute as often as we should. Good reminder! Greatly enjoyed your responding to posts from your fans. I learn something every week!

[@plumbs7199]

Love your Channel. Thanks for such an overwhelming insight into the Parts Plus team !

[@rockercover]

Your rig drives around the competition at the top end of the track. Outstanding team you are with.

[@davejohnson1819]

You've been 1 of my favorite drivers for a long time. One of those reasons, no matter what happens you're always smiling and never a bad thing to say about anyone, The other is John Force, I pray he walks out of the hospital even if he decides to hang up the firesuit

[@NEFMako]

Was great to meet you and your crew at America’s Racetrack! Thanks for signing my STLP shirt too brother!

[@Nigel2Zoom]

No matter what track they are at Clay is always glad to be there.

[@thersbugb7362]

We need a clay challenge.. These crew guys can rebuild the engine faster than someone doing the 1400m Race i bet. Lets see If they can take apart/Rebuild quicker than somebody doing the 1400m Racer XD "The Clay Challenge" Lets make this a thing People!

[@sleeperimpala2504]

Not remotely possible.

[@glyphs3]

​@sleeperimpala2504 Indeed. Too fast on a tear down/rebuild might make a mistake. Mistakes cost money. Parts are not cheap. The time and effort they put in now is fine. No need for a change.

[@BrianHewson-f9t]

Another execellent video Clay. Isn't it amazing the technology we have today. In the old days you couldnt change much on the car in the staging lanes like you can today. Nicky and Jimmo did a damn good job backen the car off before the run.

[@CJE2007.5]

Thanks for the video, Mr. Millican love watching them with my wife and kids.

[@dksaevs]

Clay thank you! Watching Your channel brings a smile to my face. Called my kids and told them that I loved them, what a great idea. As always thanks for taking us along!!!

[@marnimal72]

Thank you Clay! We LOVE YOU!!

[@stuartlowes4972]

Happy 4th July to you, Donna and the whole RWR Parts Plus team. After meeting you in vegas and Pomoma last year, you are the one of the nicest persons that I have ever meet. Your last part saying call somebody and tell them you love them, just shows why you have over 100k followers. I love you too.

[@c.d.1233]

Awesome commentary clay! Appreciate ya buddy!

[@bobbolieu9013]

Love you man. You do so much for the sport of drag racing. You keep it real, you don't put on a show just for the sake of a show. Biggest thing that I like you are the Ambassador of Fun for NHRA.

[@lw216316]

some good questions from fans - I learned about how the parachute gets deployed. From one Tennessee man to another - may the good Lord watch over you and bring you home safe each time you hit that loud pedal.

[@yattaran1484]

Sorry for late comment. I was little sick and not feeling good. But feeling better after seeing your smiling face. Thank you Clay you are my Hero ! 😊

[@jordanv3842]

Great job this weekend clay, had a blast seeing you again here at my home track right in my back yard, can’t wait for night under fire, super happy they got you in for it.

[@Calvin-xp4qp]

That was crazy! Jim-O always looks so calm, I would have been a wreck. See you in Seattle!

[@vehdynam]

Great video with great information. Thank you for being you ; all the best Clay.

[@TraceyMillican]

So coool to see your car from the Goodyear blimp! ⭕️⭕️⭕️

[@evantolson1018]

Love the Q&A after a race weekend you should do it more!! Thanks for the great content

[@robertcatalogna4700]

Love you guys at RWR !!!!

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks Clay 😊

[@MakaylaRose1320]

Ahh my question was answered!! Catch me fangirling. Have a good 4th Clay!

[@fireballxl5328]

A couple of questions: - Does everyone run the 2:90 gears? What does tire wrinkle and expansion change that to? +/- 20% ? - If a chute is released at a number of wheel rotations (by those that do that) - why dont we see chutes pop during wheel spin happenings? Love Ned Rolsma. His hair at 21:49 looks like an oak tree, which is what a a7 footer should have for hair !

[@vertisjohnson219]

Will this be conducive for Clay Millican grabbing a "Wally" this weekend? Have an old sticker on my toolbox that says "Werner Enterprises Racing" Top Fuel Dragster

[@hughstephenson2957]

I've still got my crew shirt and jacket from 2001.. neither quite fit the fat guy anymore but memories

[@jerry36852]

Good afternoon from over the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸 have a good 4th July,We are going to vote for parliament MPs,wow the 2nd round first pair that tried to get any traction from the start was was not expected, absolutely mind boggling. You were unlucky in your race especially with the adjustments being taken before your race..…🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@johndevries8536]

God bless you brother 🙏 thank you for your videos!

[@stevenhausserman8725]

This is better than watching NHRA

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

You guys did fantastic😊

[@dondotterer24]

Good job. Top Fuel I think is a crapshoot no matter what. Then throw it some changing weather.

[@jackboagard1461]

Thanks Clay your videos are Hella entertaining

[@benjamincrouch583]

😂 @cjracecars, looks like you guys have great fun at work. Would be a awesome place to work at I reckon 👍😃

[@xPr1m3]

Gotta say thanks Clay for saying hi to my niece in the staging lanes before you hopped in the car, she loved it. I also want to send you an invite to our pits at the US nationals. I know you're busy, but I wanted to throw it out for some nostalgia. My brother in law, our driver/tuner/owner/truck driver grew up racing with Ostrander, and I think it would be cool to share stories about the IHRA days. Heck, we run our TAD out of Jack's shop to this day.

[@Numberofbillion]

Thanks Clay & Donna for sharing your world. To be honest I guess I've discovered you through the Cleetus effect. Most Aussies don't get you Americans but when you look down the camera and say I'm awesome it just very simply makes me feel good. The 'Pandemic of Positivity' era was so electrifying & uplifting you actually saved a life. You (& Garrett) have the best attitude on the planet so Thank you Thank you Thank you. I know at times it becomes a job to do the videos but Thank you. All the best.

[@brandibright2082]

Clay you are one of the coolest cats around hope I get to meet you keep diggin Clay from mobile Alabama

[@Jay-in4fg]

Good one Ned 👍

[@btcoward63]

Clay, you are such a positive influence on the racing community. I enjoy all of your videos no matter what the subject is. Thank you

[@dougsmaintenanceshop5868]

Clay! On the issue of main studs pulling out of these top fuel blocks: Steve Morris & Tom Bailey have a block they are manufacturing that is machined from forged billet aluminum. I'm thinking out loud here, with no knowledge of the manufacturing process for Top Fuel blocks, but I can't help but wonder if maybe the Morris & Bailey design and engineering might hold some better ways of bolstering main stud area strength. Just a thought! Also: thanks for being you. You model a level of outgoing positivity I'd like to achieve in my own life. It was cool meeting you at Norwalk in 2023.

[@KenH-wq8jk]

All smiles love your family love your team😊 go stomp on that loud pedal you bring so much joy to my life thank you

[@rogerrandolph9685]

Thanks for doing what you do Clay! Keep the vids rolling! Well done!

[@jeffturnbull3114]

As usual Clay, great video. Prayers for you your family, and the whole RWR organization

[@bobroberts2371]

The John Force crash: I'm wondering if it is time to put crush structures on the sides of Funny Cars, there is enough room.

[@davidcarper5411]

The chassis is the suspension, along with the slicks

[@follkiej]

Great vlog Clay! It was fun, informative and DANG interesting! 32 minutes went by in the blink of an eye! Thank you!

[@georgebliss8262]

As always, love the channel in love. The segments. Especially at the end, were you answered questions 😊

[@randomfpv22]

I don’t know how Clay ended up with the best looking, hardest working, most knowledgeable crew out there. Well played!! Great video as always! Lesssssssgooooooooi

[@jeremyc9229]

I came to this channel from Nascar late last year. I have to say my second favorite driver is Antron. My favorite is not Tony, BTW

[@davestuart6593]

Thx Clay for your extra time and effort that goes into these videos

[@earlalford7694]

That's great racing it was so close

[@BenjySparky]

Clay and crew, y'all rock! ❤ Peace

[@motoroney]

congrats on 100k subs!!!

[@waltersmith1018]

Thank you! 😁

[@Drones_and_more]

As John looks to be on the mend, why doesnt someone start a book of Love and Good wishes for him, give him something to do and know we are all behind him, we are quick to start one after someone has passed, so lets start a new trend and wish them well now, Keep stomping that loud peddle.

[@jezzter4293]

Best wishes to the lot of you. Clay you have the greatest team of people building your car. Go your fantastic team of people, get Clay a Wally please

[@edstig]

I really thought you were going to lay down a great number this weekend the conditions seemed good man 😢

[@alvintarrer6914]

Amen brother Amen.....👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️

[@jimmylove6153]

Sweet video

[@bobroberts2371]

Time 003 As a side note, the old Weld Wheels building in Kansas City, Missouri was taken down May 19, 2024.

[@70chevs]

Your right about John Force, he is drag racings biggest asset. People all over the world know who he is and what he has done for the sport. We need him back healthy whether it's as a driver or team owner it doesn't really matter.

[@Russell9778]

Thanks

[@hughstephenson2957]

Too bad you didnt win but glad Antron won.. hes such a nice guy!! Glad you and him are such good friends

[@neilorange4112]

I really enjoy these event videos I don't normally enjoy Nhra but this is way better than I thought

[@johnlombardi1021]

so close running well.......this week bring it home next one

[@mwright2367]

Just like you said brother , love ya brother be safe!!!!!

[@Mackdad17]

See you in Washington!

[@adamlambert3892]

We love ya clay!!!!

[@austinperkins1986]

I love adrenaline, it don't know punctuation... one very long sentence tied together by I love this and I love that. Hilarious and good deal on a full pass with Langdon!

[@ChambersRacing9862]

Whats up Clay!! Can you give a run down on the gauges on the race pack.

[@icetech6]

God i miss the drag strip, haven't been in at least 10 years...

[@johnnobles6934]

Clay, thanks for the videos. How do some of you guys breathe the nitro fumes and not have burning eyes and throat?

[@TheManWith2FirstName]

Thanks for another great video. Why do some crew members wear full face respirators and some don’t during the warmup in the pit?

[@quickdeuce]

@15:00,, it's amazing to nowdayz see a gob a fellers on the track measuring temps, checking for rubber, overall fretting what the track may allow. Some get it figured out, some do not. 12,000 horsepower is worthless IF ya can't find a way to get those HUGE slicks grab aholt a dat track, LAUNCH like a rocket spin the Earth backward and propel your race car down range in 3 and a half seconds at 330"+" mph! A tough task for all the crew chief's.

[@Kevytc]

Next time. Anton is a tuff Competitor. You guys did a good job!

[@jeffreymorris4827]

Chocolate chip cookie 😅

[@CKMAX]

If you only knew how much impact you have on people...............! Every sport needs a Clay Millican. Thanks.

[@davejohnson1819]

I love it when you start up on gas (I always thought it was methanol in the squeeze bottle) then the nitro comes in the engine gets mean. What would happen if it was just gas in the tank or would it even run full power?

[@robertwedd1111]

Thanks for answering my Question Clay 👍

[@59Ray]

Clay, you are the best!

[@jof393]

Is there any chance Memphis Motorsports Park can be saved?! Damn I miss that place!

[@neilchallis5535]

Love the helmet cam footage 😮

[@fstjack6525]

I love you clay and thanks for another great video

[@bhlom4135]

Y'all do your jobs at a 💯 Jim & Nick do fanphuckentastic staying ahead of everything. Always a brain teaser with all the weather related stuff that's constantly changing. 💪💪👊✌️

[@ClintFisher-ui8fh]

love ya clay

[@lonnyself3920]

Clay your just to nice too all them kids just keep showing them how to do it Antron's got all that data, but you had that cat by the tail as well

[@hyper-1]

Clay, luv yur channel. Keep the vids coming. Youre a great man for what you do and i love yur sisters channel on raceday. Keep on keeping on! Take care!

[@borgonianevolution]

Ohh Ohh you said the "R" word... Has that discussion come up recently? Maybe outside the camp after John force's incident? I hope not. you are the one who keeps me watching the races here on you tube since I cant afford internet AND TV anymore.
