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

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

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

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. 😊

[@paleggett1897]

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!

[@jeffheins6624]

Thanks for having Brent along for the ride helping film,the two of you are killing it with your coverage this week

[@captlucky2320]

The neighbors got to be loving it can't wait see nitro at Bradenton

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Weeeeeeeeeee!!! Digging the foot cam!!

[@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.

Gravity. Its the law. Not enough past halfway. @@HighMaintenancePS

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@sleekimagesphotography]

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

[@jlp5137]

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.

[@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.

[@richardlincoln8438]

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

[@therealnynetynyne360]

The look on Brent's face says it all. He wasn't smiling you know he's shocked lol. Go get that 250

[@dksaevs]

Clay, between getting strapped in and your foot work was so cool to see. thank Brent for youtubing with you. As always thanks for taking us along!!!

[@jefflee1080]

Clay is an awesome dude.Iam glad he likes to share the behind the scenes of top fuel

[@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.

[@ralphnagai3681]

Great channel Clay . Subscribed. Came from Cleetus channel

[@AnythingGoes2020]

3 minutes in, and I have to say Clay, the in car view is great!

If y’all don’t subscribe to this channel you definitely should! Thank you Cleetus for bringing him on the channel and introducing him to everyone.

[@timr7764]

I wish I could see this in person.. One of the bucket list dreams of a poor man!

[@LostPilotage]

It is worth it. The experience in real life is indescribable to someone who hasn't been. You have to live it, to understand the thumbing of these engines from hundreds of feet away of your body, breathing nitro and having up close access to a team of professionals rebuilding a hot car in 30-45 minutes.

[@shoresharp8349]

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

[@MrBARishel]

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

[@andy164501]

Clay Millican: Nicest driver in the circuit, "equipped" with perpetual smile that's quite contagious!

[@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!!

[@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.

must have been that Cleetus tune on the dyno that did it😁 never gets old watching a horizonal rocket ship.

[@truthbomb4775]

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

[@steveninthelou]

I used to go to 8 or 9 events a year around the country when Clay and his Werner car started bumping heads in the NHRA TF class. I have always admired the passion he's had for this sport, and I have never seen a guy possibly smile more than he doesn't like Clay. Very positive dude and we need more like him 👍

[@chopperguy16]

I’ve been a fan of drag racing since the mid sixties, but never had saw the entire sequence of a driver getting strapped in. That was a great idea to show the entire process.

[@blakeedmondson6762]

How could anyone not be a fan of clay? He is literally the most awesome top fuel driver out there. Just a good all around dude

[@barry8462]

Your going to give your buddy Jeff Lutz the itch to climb in one of these long pointy cars!

[@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 !!!! :)

Hello Clay. That is one fast dragster. I loved the placement of the camera's some awesome footage. There's so much going on in the cockpit of that dragster in them 3 seconds it's crazy. Your dam fast in that rocket of a dragster it's unbelievable. I'm with Brent about the shock and awe of the quickness speed the hole rip. Awesome video Clay and Brent.

1st time seeing a strap down like that in my life. The love and appreciation and respect Clay shows every member of his team...Family. Someone's parents raised a real man

[@tonytrumble]

I just love the family atmosphere that Clay has with his group! It makes working with him in that very serious position easier to concentrate on everyone's task at hand. How he make sure he high fives everyone before the run! He's a great ole country boy with a heart of gold!

[@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
