That's a niiiiiiiiiiice shop!!!

[@lorrainewilson7695]

Awesome to see the beginning of what it takes to WIN the 2023 NHRA Top Fuel Championship. Go team RWR and STOMP on that LOUD PEDAL.

[@alkennedy1124]

It’s a good thing that Rick is keeping us happy and plugged it to what is going on at Rick ware racing ,,, we are free publicity to the team ,,, word of mouth 👄 it a game changer thanks buddy praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏 BigAl California

[@Sully4Real]

Glad to see Clay with that new shop and all those guys with years of experience in all types of racing to help with the new Dragster. Gonna be a Championship Run in 2023!!!!!!

[@learjet45]

Rick exudes CLASS. You're in a different world now Clay. You've paid your dues and now you're there. There will be a very short learning curve then a TOP TIER winning program will emerge, gonna be fun to watch....... if only we had our ATL track back. 😪

[@patrickbachman2184]

Clay,you are in a whole new dimension now…hope that everyone appreciates what Rick has committed to doing this …WOW

[@RustyWells2]

I just love Rick he's one of the realist owners I've seen since Junior Johnson!

[@jerrycoon3369]

Rick seems like a cool guy. Cross referencing info from all the different areas is a great idea. Looking at things from a different perspective is how you learn new things. I'm really excited to see you guys come out swinging this year. I miss the winternationals. I feel like we should already be racing!

Ryan Breece is eternally grateful to Mr. Ware. Due to injury, he is contemplating retirement from MX but talks fondly of his RWR team and teammates. Racers are racers. . But Rick is a different breed

[@sanfranciscobay]

What happened to Ryan?

[@tripprogers4814]

@@sanfranciscobay he had surgery after the WSX and is taking some time off. He said it was one of those stupid instances that should’ve been relatively routine on the track, and he has made many comebacks, I hope he has one more in him!

Hello Clay and Rick, thanks for the look inside RWR. Seeing everything Rick does in that building reminds me of when Kenny Bernstein was doing NHRA and Nascar and Indy Car in the late 80s. I wish you and everyone at RWR well, and I'm so ready for Racing Season to start.

[@brianhewson1431]

Hi Clay. How about you do a video on the crew line up for this season. A short introduction when you go out testing would be cool.

[@claymillican25]

Stay tuned 😁

Clay you rock! Rick is awesome! Love the channel and content! Peace

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Clay, I'm sincere when I say this. You have to be one of the the most down to earth "rich" people I ever seen. Granted all I know is your KZbin persona but I doubt you change much off camera. You jsut seem like a genuine normal guy that I would get along with quite well. You're blessed with success and deservingly so, yet have not let it go to your head. Thank you. Maybe someday I will get to shake your hand. But I don't go to the races sadly. Such high tech in all those cars. And here all I want is a good truck to drive lol. Maybe my 01 will some day come out of the shop and treat me right.

[@RustyWells2]

Clay's far from rich but he gets by.

[@michaelwynne4346]

All right Clay I mentioned this before but we're getting close to the first race, get on that Practice tree you need to show the young guns that you still have it in you, we need to get those R/T down, getter Done.

[@Oilerguy21]

Rick Ware seems like a very down to earth guy. His enthusiasm and interest in racing in general must add a great deal of optimism to the team. (Not to mention the cash flow). I’m excited for this season.

I can see CHAMPIONSHIPS in the near future for RWR. He has so many different irons in the fire there is no choice but to win races and be top 5s of leader boards . CONSISTENCY wins CHAMPIONSHIPS and with all these great people he has on all his teams,its just a matter of time. For example take the supercross boys ,they did REALLY GREAT in WSX and are doin pretty darn good in AMA SX!! CANT WAIT TO SEE CLAY DO SUM TESTING SOON. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL RWR TEAMS

[@DGR33]

Clay, Will all of your crew from 2022 be back with you this season?

[@sanfranciscobay]

Clay. Can you make a video explaining how the Car, you and the Crew go from Race to Race? I don't expect you to type all the variables, that's why I think a 5-10 minute video would be helpful.

[@claymillican25]

Think we have talked about this before. We don’t have a videographer it’s just me and my iPhone. I don’t ride with the team so I can’t get that footage. I can tell you it is two tractor trucks on the road along with an SUV and that’s how the team travels from race to race. I appreciate you commenting and watching.

[@sanfranciscobay]

@@claymillican25 Does the Crew live near where the Trucks are stored, do they fly to the Race area...? Do the Trucks and Trailers go home or are they on the road most of the time...?

[@claymillican25]

@@sanfranciscobay majority of the team has moved to the Charlotte area. The trucks and trailers are at the race shop and the team drives them race to race. All the equipment comes back to the shop when the schedule allows.

[@doughopkinsjr]

Seems like it would be hard for the crew guys without the trailer right next to the car. Thoughts?

[@shaunarehart9226]

Just curious after watching the video here. I know it is definitely not ideal, but how much, or would it be possible to get the show car ready to race if in the almost apocalyptic situation that it would be needed?

[@sanfranciscobay]

Once the Season starts, I bet they keep the backup car 90-100% ready to Race.

[@claymillican25]

That show car would take a lot of work. There have been several chassis rule changes since that car was run. For the first time in a long, long time we are going to have a back up car essentially ready to go.

[@shaunarehart9226]

Thanks for the reply! I am so happy that you have resources now! Good luck in the upcoming season, I will be keeping up! Thanks for all the content!

[@jaratt85]

Hey Clay, I have to ask, are you still in contact with any of the kids from when you did Drag Race High on Speed? (I loved that show, wish I could've had that chance.. I still laugh that the two kids that took off to focus on their band instead, on the OG one in Bowling Green, I believe were either in Cage The Elephant or Black Stone Cherry.. can't remember which..) I'm too tall to drive (6'10) and too broken to turn wrenches (scoliosis and every other back osis there is, among many other things.. untreated IBS being the real killer for jobs) still I love cars and engines.. hence why my other account is OtisENGINEuity. BTW did you see your buddy Drew left KSR for Petty's dirt track team?

I have not been able to keep up w the kids from DRH. I have been in contact with Drew. Very happy for him.

@@claymillican25 a lot of KZbinrs will often run a contest for intros for their videos. Not downing yours but , just isn't "catchy" per-say . It's kinda like the hook of a song. The videos beginning intro can be the difference between a sub , or someone moving on.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The intro he has is awesome.

[@johnchamberlain5435]

Been following NHRA off and on since the 1970s. Kinda sad that every aspect of the car is set in stone by the rules, leaving no room for innovation to the cars themselves. Rethinking the air system for the thrashes between rounds is an example of just about the only place left for innovation. Angry Hornet showed us the specialized tool for pulling the main-caps a while back; that sort of thing is incremental, but it all adds up. Keep on stomping the Loud Pedal, Clay -- your team rocks!

The only disappointment I had with this video was that it was only 8 minutes long. You said that you will be in North Carolina for a few more days so maybe we'll get to see more of what goes on in the shop. If we're lucky, you might get over to the NASCAR shop with your camera.
