So happy you made it out and did something out of your comfort zone.

He also got hit with a fluke tbh. The way the car just hooked up on that rubber at the start was insane 🤣 about sent him into the wall right out the gate.

[@johnsadler6534]

Amen!!!

this.

[@sethspiker]

3 damaged cars in 2 days…. Sound like something I would do.

[@Hanzyscure]

Great video Steve the stunt man. Hope your luck changes next time.

[@alexdangerjarman1994]

As an Australian it makes me proud to see the Americans stepping up their burnout game. Its sick to see you guys building dedicated burnout cars and throwing proper tip-ins. Your starlet would be right at home at Summernats Steve, great work mate 🤙

[@mrbigw100]

Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

[@KEIFabrication]

Listening to Steve describe his experience is HILARIOUS! Just the BEST! Sorry that everything got banged up. Your initiation to a Cletus McFarland event sure was a rough one! I hope you plan on returning and get some redemption! Man! your videos are so good!

[@augustwagner5462]

I have never seen a video of that man with a bigger smile on his face!!!

[@tonymorse7178]

Steve - I am deeply compelled to comment on this video from a very different angle. All that excitement all that chaos and you (and Cleetus) never used any foul language in your video. You are the man!! It shows integrity, intelligence and true family value. Thank you ever-so-much for your commentary and to still provide a very entertaining show was awesome. Thank you...

[@freedomfox8183]

I couldn't believe how quick you were running for another car in the race after that insane crash... So thankful you walked away although I'm sure you're pretty sore but its better than pretty much any other scenario...

[@Nite_KC]

I mean, I feel bad for how you felt after the burnout, but guy, did you ever send it, that was one hell of a burnout. That is going to turn into a hell of a gift for the lenders. You rock Steve!

[@jasonsparshott7208]

100% !! Loved it all of it !!

[@BrandonLanczak]

Steve’s spare parts build is cooler than anything I’ll ever own in this lifetime. Super cool 🎉

[@jasonsparshott7208]

Facts

[@tylermallory2504]

that's what I said too, but I worked my ass off and now have all my parts built big block tbs 250 hi helix blower, powerglide w/brake, 9", and all chromolly cage. to build a big tire drag car car. started fabrication just last month looking to be driving by this time next year! anything is possible man. 👍

[@iancole5805]

It made my day when I saw Mr. Steve Morris at the event. Pumped you made an appearance. The car was insane! What a show.

[@Blain5700]

Aussie style burnout car. That's what everyone needs to do. You'll be back!

[@DeltaVTX]

Lol Dewey hears those fuel pumps and knows it’s about to get loud

[@vater1760]

Steve, if you ever decided to hold “classes” to teach just a fraction of your knowledge, I’d try like hell to go to them. Your ability to teach helps me understand things much better than anyone else has when explaining things.

[@timrobertson299]

So good to see you out there! When I heard you say you built the car with nearly everything being borrowed I thought oh know! This could go bad in so many ways! I just hoped that you and everyone that loaned stuff knew what could happen.

[@theatomproject007]

Add "I borrowed this..." to the list of things not to do or say just after "That's not going anywhere" and "Let me try that one more time."

[@GreatLakes_MetalDetecting]

Your a good man and surround yourself with good people , the car can be fixed . That was an awesome rip especially for your first time on a burnout pad.

[@intentsmodz]

That race was awesome, too bad they ran out of cars. I loved how you were ready to keep going after that hit, Nascar would have sent you to the med center for a check-up after a hit like that & you were ready to keep racing. Kudos man.

[@evloftis4143]

Nascar have turned in to a bunch possies this way better

[@ad89590]

​@@ad89590That is the perfect and honest answer.. Brain injuries are scary, not always are they in the diagnosis with some doctors.

[@mjay6245]

​​@ad89590 Yep..bruising and swelling of the brain takes time to show the worst of it.

[@ThePirateGod]

Watching Steve just gaze into the stadium in awe just looked like the most peaceful moment ever.

[@thomasward4505]

Yeah Steve I think seeing where you're going is the hardest part about doing a burnout. I think the guys that are good at it have plan a route where they can pull through there smoke to see where they're going and then do it again and then pull out of there smoke and see where they're going that's the key. Obviously harder to do than it sounds

[@steventhomas5865]

The top guys and girls in Australia don't look out very often because with experience they know where they are at all times.

[@clintprice2123]

Glad to see you get out of the car and jog down the track after that crash, you worried me for a bit waiting for you to exit. It was a great event and the weather was perfect.

[@dan3162]

Awesome seeing you out there, sucks hitting the wall but you definitely put it into perspective how difficult those burnout contests are. Can’t wait to see the rebuild!

[@ChimenyDust]

Now everyone who talks like they wheel but can't is crickets when we saw this live haha

[@thegodzowns]

Seeing Steve's smile when he got out the car even if he crashed had an amazing time even in the interview after hahaha that's so fun to see, the adrenaline rush is something special .

[@stanleybarnette3025]

My all time favorite video so far!! I've always wondered what the burnout competition was REALLY like and now I know. Sorry about the little burnout car but I'm sure you guys will make it better than ever! Most importantly I'm glad you out your beliefs even when things don't go quiet like you planned.

[@hawkofthenorth4829]

Drag wheels on the front was a terrible idea. Brakes are incredibly important for those burnouts cars. That's how Cletus destroyed toast the 1st time.

[@michaeliverson1688]

Glad to see you're doing good after both of those accidents! Hope your not throwing in the towel on the burnout rivals, sounds like another fun, challenging skill to learn. >:) Reason being: if anyone can figure out how to keep an engine cool, and together while staying pegged in it's powerband for 3 to 5 minutes straight,......well, who does stuff like that?

[@zbeasty]

They've been doing it in Australia for 30+ years. Methanol to keep it cool. Low revs to avoid breaking parts from banging the limiter constantly. Tall gearing because wheel speed is what makes smoke. Ski boat engines are probably the closest to the type of build you want. Designed to sit in a rev range for a long period of time.

[@vvlswapd200sx]

Ive seen videos of Steve morris engine fill throttle for 12 mins

[@piuthemagicman]

I'm european; we know Aussies are the burnout experts 😎🤪🤘

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

That little Splinter was wild... She sure did wanna hook up on all that rubber, looked like an handful and a half 😅

[@badhombre8383]

Man looks like you had a blast and blessed for the opportunity to participate hope to see you do it again.

[@im_ur_huckleberry8998]

My man, you hit two walls this past weekend! Glad you didn't get hurt.

[@XenonArcher]

the onboard shots say it all. there was like, 0.3 of a second there where you could see through the smoke. i guess thats the skill in it. knowing where you are and positioning yourself so you get those short glimpses of your surroundings. gotta be suuuuuuper aware of where you are, what the car is doing and your surroundings. especially when youre driving a car that can make that much smoke so quickly and easily.

[@unitedstatesmarine5087]

Even after the burnout disappointment, Steve still looked like a kid in a candy store!! Awesome time!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@RustyWells2]

No that burnout was the most Entertaining burnout I've ever seen and the number one thing is to entertain the fans and Steve you did it perfect!!!! Hell ya brother you were sending for Dale!!!

[@matzrat5006]

Man that Low rider was awesome.

[@ajspak874]

you gave it hell, looks like you had an absolute blast happy that you're okay from the other accident in the crown Vic . I have to say I'm looking forward to the build video. thanks for sharing with us

[@Onebad96zj]

The smile after the burnout after crashing says it all! Time to build your own but maybe a little more wheelbase 🤣🤘🏻

[@Rusty.1776]

What happened, I blacked out....😆 I'm so darn glad to see you out there and involved! All around, great job Steve, Thank You!! ❤️🤍💙

[@maverickbrent]

You dont suck man! Your Awesome!! thanks for doing this!!

[@Brandon_Wallis]

His humor with every situation is amazing and you can’t help but laugh 😂

[@robertd8164]

For somebody new to burnouts ( from an Australian ) you showed a lot of promise. There were moments where you were using the whole pad and moving the smoke around like a proper skid lol. Keep it up. Most of the burnout cars limit the amount the butterflies can open to allow for not only more control but also a longer burnout.

[@kentmackey2717]

Holy crap! You had quite a weekend. I know you felt terrible about crashing the Starlet, and I also know you will make it right. Can't wait to see the Crown Vic video now. Take care!

[@madcowracing88]

Short wheel base with all that torque and front weight bias makes for a handful for even the most seasoned burn out pro. Respect for going out there

[@bigblockjess617]

You still did awesome man! Hope you do build a burnout car and compete with everyone

[@pattkinder612]

That little Starlet looked like it had big sh*t eating grin when they pushed it off.🤣👍

[@GodBeforeMoney]

Thanks for adding to the show. I was there, and had a blast. I was sitting near that corner you wrecked, and it was one hell of a hit. Glad the car kept you safe.

[@hillbillywes100]

It's so great seeing you this fired up!! I'm honored to be living this good life vicariously, because of watching your videos.

[@TheTsunamijuan]

The fact your smiling the whole time means alot. Keep being awesome and safe buddy!

[@drcdrdoct9864]

I love your honest take on the burnout competition. I often wondered myself how you could see the barriers. I don't get why they can't at least put some strobes or something down the line to at least give you a chance to see a light. Glad you're ok.

[@JayMac]

........ They have a lighting sponsor that puts LEDs around the entire pad.

[@joelgoody3590]

One thing that could be done to help with smoke...depending on wind, have about 15 big barn fans to create a 20 mph wind across pad to clear the smoke. Just anchor/fasten them on top of wall, create a breeze. Very simple, and not terribly expensive. Or just have a company come in for that evening with big air movers. Much safer for driver and can possibly save some cars from major damage.

[@aaronnoble923]

Love your content man! I can’t even imagine how insane it would be in that short wheelbase! Full send!

[@franzlewis7777]

Definitely have to have a throw away car for a burn out contest! Or a braced up old school tank! Just takes practice with the chaos! Awesome video !

[@scraverX]

Hahahaha. Not in Australia; and we run some tight boxes. Most of the cars guys run here are not "throw away".

[@franzlewis7777]

@@scraverX I guess that’s the way she goes down under ! but he’s new to the whole deal.. so why not lol

[@drakkondarkblood6638]

For your first ever that was a pretty awesome effort, very impressive, most ppl don't understand how hard it actually is. Down here you watch the Summer Nats etc and they make it look so easy. Once you've done it a few times and got use to things you start understanding roughly where the car is, but it's normally not something you can jump into and get right off the bat.

[@VdubSPAZ]

That is amazing how honest you can be about something that is very new to whatever and you can tell that it had you mentally and emotionally by the way that you were left speechless by the whole situation.... For a person who is so knowledgeable on a motor and so confident to put yourself in such a situation then it makes you realize how humble you have to be on some things and how humbling a particular sport or entertainment could make you... I'm impressed by everybody who stood behind you and I'm even more impressed that you're willing to stand up which I never had a doubt for.... By the way it was a really cool setup between car and the combination of engine parts but the key to remember is watch where the wind is blowing and know where you want to place your vehicle at so that way you're always in the wind and that way you will always have a clear sight but if you think that's bad picture drifting at 100 and something miles an hour with smoking your face that's the dicey part

[@jonob6404]

Good stuff Steve. I spent endless hours as a kid thrashing old starlets on country roads here in New Zealand. That short wheelbase does makes them pretty hectic

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Awesome buddy glad you are ok after the wreck in the big race you’ll get it next time I have faith you will build his car back better than ever and Dave’s wife will love it thanks for sharing

[@Bandit.Designs.Videos]

Splinter looked like she was screaming at the crowd when you came off that wall. LOVED it 😂😂😂😂😂🇨🇦🤙🏼

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Whoah! Steve did it like Mick Brasher. Tiny box car with a rowdy engine. That must be a total assault on the senses. Such a short wheelbase with so much power, on such a sticky surface.

Thanks Steve, Ben Jones.

Basically a stupid ass looking really small car with a friking engine that looks like it should be in a top fuel dragster. You nailed it. Basically from my observations, you want your vehicle to look like a crazy 1970’s car concept t shirt, that actually is real, and screams
