[@saintnick0815]

I just call him Mr or Sir......however, thank you sir. Guys, he's just giving away knowledge..... Thank you sir

[@karlmorrison7933]

his name is bill

[@dupont4sure]

@@karlmorrison7933 i call him Mr.Bill only because i have tons of Respect for this man and how he is with his family and i feel he has earned it..

[@valhamilton1947]

I was just thinking to myself, how much would a book of his knowledge cost. Like u said he is just giving it away. I love it, keep the tips coming. You and Billy make a great Team. Had to steal my wife’s phone to watch this, mine died. Learning a lot this past month.

[@ricobaldridge9144]

I read the comments after I wrote my comment. And you Sir are dropping facts. Also known as knowledge in this case

[@chicagovasko]

Your never an idiot Oldman. I think your a genius at racing.

[@stuntbikejourney9582]

Late night uploads always give me something to do at work during night shift. Thanks Bill.

[@silverworlds8035]

Gotta agree! Watch every night on my lunch break!

[@AreaThirteenThirteen]

Same here!

[@amandamitchelfrye1603]

2:30 am lunch breaks with Src garage is the best

[@mopower57]

Yours and SRC videos are the only videos I look forward to watching Bill! Really appreciate your tech tips Sir! God bless you and your family!

[@matthewvarnam4302]

I just love your videos and the teaching you did is just awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@danielmutum6652]

Thank you Sir. People like you don't come around often!

[@quad442w40]

By far the best of your channel . This is real content . Thank you pops.

[@johnhandbury2056]

best content on you tube always enjoy this channel and the father/son content.

[@chuckyork6716]

I hope the new school racers are watching your videos and appreciate the time you're taking to impart your wisdom. "Lint Rolling" is an awesome trick. And keeping your car, or truck from unloading at the transition is important for ET and safety. You are the MAN.

[@kmartbmx69]

My new favorite channel. A someone who is just getting into racing as a hobby, and not really knowing anyone in the scene yet. You have saved many from looking like a dummy on their first trip to the track. You have probably already helped hundreds of people get into racing that were too scared because they had no direction on how to get started and were afraid to go to their local track. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@davesracingchannel9261]

I love how informative your videos are I enjoy them all

[@erichowelljr635]

Thanks Bill for your time insight and wisdom. This world could use a whole heap more men, and fathers, like yourself. Keep doin what your doin, we appreciate ya!!

[@gregsimon9061]

So much great information, I come from the sprint car world, I enjoy listening to the old man explain their world, it’s really funny how a lot of chassis information is similar. A lot of crew chiefs are not willing to share information. I b enjoy watching this family. Thanks old man, I just turned 68 on Monday. Good luck, God Bless, and thanks for the videos.

[@zzach6146]

This is the best and most informative channel on the tube thank you for all the knowledge pops!!!!!

[@DS-hl6ko]

Great information thank you. Showing the truck working towards the end is spot on priceless!

[@ericgalloway461]

Yesssss I love the true to the street attitude. Thanks for sharing the info and tips.

[@allenlord3679]

Just watched it too then a nice surprise by pops. Thanks for always taking us with you, really enjoy the fact of the father/Son duo

[@mgttreecare]

I'm glad to see that you are discussing tips and tricks that have worked for you. Most people would never talk about anything that could help somebody else do better, or possibly help to prevent an accident. Just because they have to information doesn't mean that they know how to apply it immediately.

[@JacobBennett45]

I can’t afford to be in this stuff but I love racing and love know how it works. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge

[@kmc468]

like the slow mo video of Billy's truck is crazy how you can see the rear tire shiver as it takes off the transitions is beautiful great video

[@waynegrono7736]

I never thought about cleaning the track with the tires good info thanks Dad

[@brianrowlison6080]

Bill, everyone that puts together a racing program benefits from your knowledge base with these videos that you post! What a great way to give back to the sport we all love!

[@gmtuning454]

Thanks for making everyone feel like they are apart of your family and sharing the knowledge you can’t get from a lot of good racers. i enjoy your videos. keep them coming!

[@michaelhobgood2792]

I did a lot of racing at Windy Hollow back in the 90s and I hated to see it close. I'm glad that it's getting some use and a having a few no prep races now. Not all of us old bracket racers dislike the street racers and no prep racing.

[@daspeednutt237]

More great information from the wise old man again keep it coming

[@chicagovasko]

Old man I appreciate you and like every video always love the Races and the family content. God bless.

[@flatfoot62]

Awesome video Bill, I love when you give these tutorials. Think you and your family are great and appreciate you. God bless

[@hippyvt4203]

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge! Could listen to you all day. Really appreciate the time and effort you are putting in to share this stuff with us. Your a good man!

[@bryanshowe5096]

Thanks for all the free knowledge Bill. I think I speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate and enjoy it. Your way of doing things works and I believe you will start seeing people trying to mimic some of what you guys do! I know its opened my eyes to some of what I was doing wrong. Thanks from Tennessee

[@edwardathanasaw5771]

Thank u for the knowledge Pops!!! Almost no one shares the same content or love for the sport....

[@jasonheid8181]

Love the late night uploads. Just got done watching Billy's video in garage then yours pops up. Just another excuse for me to stay in garage for awhile longer. Lol. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy days/nights to make your videos. Well I got to get back to welding up these bull horns, thanks for the video breaks. God Bless 👍

[@sykwookiee]

Hey Jason, is that your coupe in your pic? Sure would love to see some video on that ride...are the bullhorns for the coupe?

[@jasonheid8181]

@@sykwookiee yes it is my 41' WILLY'S. It's not a real steel car but it is what I could afford. LOL. The bull horns are for a 6 second prostock here in Syracuse NY.

[@sykwookiee]

@@jasonheid8181 no worries on the 'glas...there are more Willys coupes registered than were ever built! 😆 I've got my eye on a '32 Ford...I want to make a real driver...most hot rods are straight line monsters, but I really want to turn too, ya' know?

[@davidburlason8466]

The knowledge you have top-shelf If I had you back in my day

[@thomasknight3975]

No old man, as much as I love watching the little trucks run I always watch your videos first, can't drive it right if a man ain't got the knowledge. God bless and see you on the next video...

[@steveweiman4708]

As someone who has been out of racing for a couple decades plus and getting back into now these videos are extremely helpful. Helps me understand all the various considerations to stay safe, aware and practice as a rookie gettin' the chops again. Thanks.......

[@robertstoyles]

The ole man is very knowledgeable and is a good person he has been giving some dang good info, tips , and tricks he tells it like it is and genuinely wants to help us guys that love street racing

[@williamhungate863]

Bill I don't know you personally , but I always love to build and work on old trucks so I understand a lot that you say . And I'll say this you are damn sure not a idiot , you've got a head full of knowledge and I would put you before any crew chief out there . Enjoy all the videos , stay safe and GOD BLESS .

[@chasejaburek3083]

I can't get enough I love you're content the way you explain things is just down home like my dad did before he passed I thank you and hope we cross paths some day...on another note I'd love to pick you're brain about jr dragsters as I wanna get my son into it

I think you guys are one of the best channels out there hands down gaptizing the competition once again. Thanks love the knowledge it helps me to put my spin on my race application after listening to your experiences.

[@matthewmcclintock5806]

You sir are a legend and I'm loving your vids and knowledge best channels on KZbin by far

[@bradnichols2474]

I watched Billy's video first.....when you brought him forward past the starting line before the burnout, I didn't know what you were doing....now it makes sense! That's a good secret to know! Awesome videos, keep em coming!

[@Godsy_Garage]

Why does THIS video not have more views? This is the kinda of info most won’t share and it’s straight gold! ✍🏽🧠

[@miker7711]

Your knowledge is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!

[@perrylankford4269]

I learned a LOT today . Thank you for sharing your knowledge..

[@jondoe4667]

I learned something new today. I had always assumed that the rougher,or more course the surface is the better it would be to get traction,and the smoother surfaces would offer less traction. Based on your explanation i was completely wrong. I appreciate your willingness to share knowledge that most would have to learn through trial,and error.

[@andrewj4241]

What a humble dude man, the knowledge you are shearing is unbelievable ,this page is one of a kind. I have a huge respect for the way you control the lane ,sir you are straight up and tell it how it is the journey you are on with your boys is priceless thank you for sharing this with us really do enjoy these videos it is amazing right place right time and a heck of alot of work too see those earlier events to where yal are now, moontune and beyond what a ride long may it continue.....

[@mariebecraft4789]

My husband bobby, is a big fan, he gets me to watch one of your videos every night before we go to bed. he loves drag racing a hell of a lot.. I just wanted to say he looks up to you a lot, he's said your a very wise guy plenty of knowledge 😉 thanks from the Estes family

[@Koppa685x]

Keep it up Bill!! Love the new channel and the content! You are a genuine person with a big heart! You didn’t know me from the next guy from Alabama, but you were willing to help me and give me a trick to get the brushes back in my water pump when I exploded them. Thank you for everything and please keep pumping out the content!!

[@chrisbunting6022]

The best videos on utube, you explain how to get down the track when it looks worse then a back road. Look at that launch out the whole, the mustang next to him was like oh shit did I miss the race. You Rock, Sir Old man, thanks for all the great knowledge. Awesome channel.

[@AndreenMotorsports]

How could anyone give you a thumbs down on this? Its great info, most of us appreciate it. Maybe a few bracket racers got sensitive?

[@rbarnes8169]

The old man is the OG street racing badass no doubt

[@donaldmcleish5194]

Awesome video bill I love how you approach everthing and break it down and it all makes so much sense I really enjoyed it👍👍👍

A cup of coffee and a great video to start the day. Thank you 👍

[@acblack1032]

You and your 2 boys are a super team. Billy also has Molly, (tell him to marry her!!!) LOL... Experience in reading a track comes with a smart person knowing and learning what to look for. AND what to do when you find something you need to address. OLD AGE and smarts is what it was LOL

[@killers1054]

Great video! There is alot of good stuff here for the beginner and for the veteran, keep it coming! I have really enjoyed your channel and look forward to seeing it daily.

[@williampayne645]

I watch all 3 of yalls channels. I’ve always wanted to drag race but never really could afford to but I’m almost there now. Been trying to decide if I want to run a truck or car but have been leaning towards a truck. I watch Billy and Tommy race and I also watch Street outlaws and NHRA events to try and learn how to actually properly stage and all. The info your giving us in your videos is priceless. Keep it coming and I can’t wait to watch the next one. Maybe some day y’all will make it to Vegas. The drag strip here has 4 lanes. It’s pretty cool to watch 4 cars run at the same time. Hopefully one day I will get to meet you guys.

[@chadspadeace420]

Thanks for the info much appreciated from me keep up the good work god bless you and the family

in my opinion,your boys are very good drivers because you are the way you are,you are very smart and keep your cool.that makes the boys job a little easier knowing that the 'the old man'has everything under control.i know that when my dad is racing with me i feel a little more at ease and i focus a lot better.THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

[@mr.weaver2682]

I new to your channels and it’s the best on the internet. I did a lot of street racing 20 years ago as a kid. Now I’m building a new car and your tech and tips are awesome. Windy Hollow is the closest track to me and I’ll be racing there. I’m trying to find the rules to the different No prep classes, they seem to vary. That can be rough if I go to other tracks around western Kentucky. Thanks for the videos and being a good ambassador to the sport.

Thank you for passing along the knowledge that you have......

Opinions are like a$$holes....everybody's got em. There is no "Right way" but there's absolutely a thousand "Wrong" ways!! Thanks for your time and wits. Coming from another 'ol Man that's been doing this shit for over 30 years, it's cool to hear someone else's honest take. Keep it up.

Thank you for your thoughts. You just confirmed I'm not an idiot , Lol. We just think out of the box. I used to street race with an open diff. against car with a locker or spool. It takes some thought to get in the mid 7s(1/8th mile) on 26x8 in tire with an open diff. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Bill .... thanks for your inpuut ... ill keep that all in mind when i finally get back on the track behind some hosepower other than a stock foxbody .

[@mikejohns3104]

First, Thank you Pops. When and where I came up there was no way to get this information. This is a lot to think about. The people who hate are scared of some of the secrets getting out. They wish they had a dad like you. Consider yourself reversely adopted. I pray you are doing well.
