Fastest Pass Ever? I was on the Ride of My LIFE!!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

OOoooohhhh Lot's of onboard cameras!!! Sweeeeett!!!!

[@FuckGoogle502]

I know right? Flamethrower cam at 16:56 is my favorite.

[@lordcommander3224]

You don't realize how serious business this is getting strapped into a nitromethane rocket until I see how methodical and serious your team is getting ready for a run, and then the last minute hand shake before you go really hit me.

[@Rubmaster]

It hit me too! Riding that beast is is no joke. You can only pray and trust your team, that each run is a good run.

[@jeffklonowski6816]

So crazy how fast these cars go.. And dont they have to rebuild the motor each pass?

[@allieandbo]

@@jeffklonowski6816 Yep. Typically in 45 minutes during eliminations.

[@WafflosityX]

​@@jeffklonowski6816 Yup every pass, the engine gets a teardown.

[@printordye]

We all secretly wish we had a team like this behind us to keep us safe and square. What a beautiful thing. 😊

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

That Cleetus bodywork has to be worth at least 1,000 hp!

Please convey to Mr Ware, our great appreciation for permitting us to come along during test week. . . AND to have the attempt to dyno the TF dragster!

[@mafia631]

what?

[@upurkilt7246]

​@@mafia631he is asking clay to say thank you the the boss man for letting clay, Brent and cleetus try to dyno the car aswell as letting them film the testing and other behind the scenes stuff.... very simple to see what he was saying g in his comment 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@zulumagoo1]

I never seen(or noticed before) but we get to see that actual LOUD PEDAL STOMPIN' taking place. LEGENDARY!

[@WMSJacob]

For reference: Mike Salinas' 300mph to the 1/8 pass was .842 to 60' and 2.091 to 330. 2.936 at 300.80. I firmly believe that Clay would have been the second person ever to 300 in the 1/8 mile had he stuck with it. That car was aggressive as all shit though. .828 60' is absolutely unheard of. The rest of that timeslip would have been absolutely incredible.

[@David-hm9ic]

Thanks for the data to put this run in perspective. Salinas was at .842 at 60'; Clay was at .828. Phenomenal!

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Thanks for the info. New top fuel watcher here from way overseas. Something puzzles me. Can you explain how the cars only accelerate another 30mph or so through the second half of the track?

[@WMSJacob]

@@HighMaintenancePS The cars are already moving so fast that they cover the back half of the track (660 feet to 1000 feet) in well under a second. If they were still racing to the quarter mile, we would have seen 340 in 2016 when Robert Hight went 337.66 in Topeka.

I just found you because of Cleetus and 1320 and I've got to say that you are one hell of a good guy. I will be subscribing and watching all of your videos because you are so positive. Good luck this year and I will be rooting for you and your team.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Best Wishes to the Rick Ware Racing Top Fuel Team. Thank You to all the sponsors.

[@br549rdr]

I absolutely love your enthusiasm. It was actually emotional seeing you getting strapped in. So cool when the guy gave you his hand to grab at the end of tighten your belts up.

[@shuttlepilot_]

Brent, I know you’re living the dream here, but thank you for filming all this. I always enjoy your commentary and camera work.

[@sleekimagesphotography]

Thank you for taking us along, and Thank Brent for helping you get some great footage. Keep stompin on that LOUD pedal !!!

[@murrayadam8576]

On board camera, WOW. Wish the team all the best this weekend, truly excited about the weekend. Keeping us up to date, would be greatly appreciated! No FloRacing here sadly.

[@randallburgess46]

I have a lot of admiration for Clay,his crew, and his sponsors. I started my 20 year over the road truck career with Werner and was grateful for the opportunity given to me by C.L. and his sons, especially Greg who I learned a lot from about being a safe and reliable driver. Well done.

[@georgedorsey3089]

That's hand grab right before the pass... That's intense. My anxiety went up just watching the strap in process. Great stuff guys! Over here from the Cleetus channel.

[@br549rdr]

I said the exact same thing before I saw your comment. That was very emotional seeing him strapped in.

[@tripprogers4814]

Dear Mr. Millican, how much does a jar of Miss Donna’s Nitro Salsa go for and is it available in *just the TIP of northern Idaho?*

[@MNW-69]

Nitro Salsa seems like a great marketing angle and I'm sure it would sell well

[@StickA-yd4fp]

I agree, we all need some nitro salsa for the win.

[@PetersonMotorsports]

Do That!

[@FiglioBastardo]

I absolutely love and appreciate all the behind the scenes workings! Clay, you and your team never cease to amaze me with the passion and genuine-ness you all exude!

Mr Clay Millican your 1 Bad Dude!!!!!!! Words videos do not do any justice to how insane your topfuel car is!!!!!

[@tmacie2]

Awesome stuff Clay! Big thanks to Brent for capturing it! Can't miss his laugh and energy anywhere!

[@darthdadious6142]

It was interesting to see you get strapped in. It totally kicked in my claustrophobia. Keep it loud!

[@DeanSchumacher]

I know dude had to have a tool too tighten the straps insane tight in their love it.

[@Scottyschannelmtb]

Clay seems such a chilled guy proper racing legend 👌🏻👊🏻🇬🇧plus you went your fastest pass because of the cleetus livery

[@rickeaton5288]

Hope you all kick some butt this year. You had a good year last year but this looks to be a great year for you and the great team you have. Jimbo knows how to make that car go.

[@bassassin2ohseven584]

This is what brought me to your channel, wanting to see more of the behind the scenes of pro/top fuel racing! Your videos get better and better each time!

[@bmwlane8834]

The loud pedal. Love it!

[@georgedreisch2662]

Probably the best in car video, with explanations, I remember seeing. Brings together much of what y’all have described previously. Seeing Clay acknowledge everyone, before getting into the car, makes me think, it’s probably part of his own mental checklist, and his recognition of the importance of everyone on the team, for the part they play. Reminded me of launching aircraft, in the military.

[@dmeemd7787]

As I keep saying, I absolutely love all the extra camera angles you’re doing!! Audio is excellent as well!!! Wish I was at this race but man oh man.. I’m glad this event is happening !!!! :)

[@Anthonyw421]

Awesome Had to skip back a few times at 17:10. The camera mount behind the engine was sick. Seeing the flames Just hearing them in person has gtta be insane

At 1715 he's gone to plaid. .. .

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Unbelievable numbers. Reaction time, 60 foot, 1/8 mile speed. All hard to comprehend. Also the amount of work between runs is astounding. Not for the faint of heart.

[@MrBARishel]

That is a bad ass view of Clay climbing in and being strapped in. So cool to see how this works.

[@technicallyeco.2751]

Brent's the man. 🤙 Livin the dream.

[@danhiggins7798]

All I can say is that is awesome. I'm sure you will have a great year. LET'S GO!!! I see that you have gained a couple new subs in the last few days. You deserve many more.

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

[@martincolvill5453]

What a video! So cool to see all that goes on in the cockpit. Much success and safety this season. Keep that right foot stomping!

[@therealnynetynyne360]

[@Eight20Six]

Subbed simply because of how awesome Clay is for the racing community and making things happen for other people! Never had a "favorite" driver. Clay sure has earned that status!!

[@trainmagnet5845]

Watching you get ready, is like, you are getting ready to go to space. All the straps/belts/etc. Gotta be safe though. Good luck, stomp on that loud pedal and bring home the money. Love the new camera angles. Really shows, just how busy you are, during a run. Is it me, or can you see the ground from the cockpit?

[@truthbomb4775]

Love the cockpit camera view. Cool to see how you are strapped in.

[@jackreed3445]

Thank you for the in cab view getting set and the run too. They sure make sure you wont bounce around in the seat and also watching your feet as you make the run. I really enjoyed the handshake, it shows how the crew feels about you. The Rocket Ship is alive and well! Going to be a heck of a season, jack

[@hotrodowner1965]

Clay. You said it best at the end”rocket ship”. Loved the view of your foot work. I’ve always wondered about it. Keep up the great videos and good luck this season. Always a fan. Been my driver since way back.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I had no idea how claustrophobic it must be in the seat of that race car. It makes Clay even braver than I imagined. I especially liked the big handle @2:18 that appeared to be used for pulling the harness straps as tight as they could go. Huge respect Clay.
