I love you Dad, you did great all weekend! Cant wait to see what you do next!

[@JoeWrenches]

Love you too. Aren’t you supposed to be cleaning your room?

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Congratulations Joe, I know that 8 felt incredible!! Glad to hear that you’re okay, that sounds scary as hell.

[@JoeWrenches]

Man, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, for sure! But the high from that 8 was hard to shake!

[@TangoOne]

Glad to hear you are ok, I bet that was scary.

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you. It was quite a ride.

[@alpha_tv8991]

@@JoeWrenchescan I reach you by email by chance for help and questions on my build

[@N3ZFAB]

Damn man. Glad you and Brittany are OK. Had to been a crazy few seconds. Dust her off and let's get deeper into the 8's!

[@JoeWrenches]

She'll be back out soon!

[@DaRone1981]

Congrats on the PB and glad you’re okay. Abs messed up in my vette one night at the track and almost went into the gravel. Pucket factor of a 11 for sure.

[@JoeWrenches]

Not a fun experience.

[@eddys.3485]

Hey Joe, got to meet you at the shootout! Cars awesome! Terrifying encounter at the end of the track for sure worst nightmare. Glad you are ok and the car took it and kept you safe. Until next year!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks for watching!

[@talontsi92]

Glad to see you are OK, and the car is OK. Nothing hurt but a little pride this time. Great to see you there (and sorry I was in your way in the pits at one point) ;) See you next year.

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you!

[@lisasettembrino3517]

I am so excited about the 8! That video in the end 🙈. I am so proud of you Joe!!!!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you! ❤️

[@CaptainTonus]

Congrats on the 8-sec pass, Joe! So stoked for you. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, but I was hanging out over by Albert's car a lot and you came over at one point to chat with us. Really glad you're ok and the car is ok!

[@JoeWrenches]

Oh man! Thanks! Definitely say hi next time!

[@jasonlillis3437]

Awesome Joe! Also nice to see Albert's car out there.

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks! Albert is a Gangster!

[@the4g63talon8]

Awesome to see this car in person! Always love seeing another auto, sucks about the parachute not coming out. The turnout in my opinion was amazing compared to the last 2-3 years so hopefully it just keeps getting bigger

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@shawnboy4368]

I can't help but get teary eyed ! Iv watch you fight problem after problem and now this , and you're just as happy as can be! Iv been there many times and have no help seeing how everyone there for you and how positive you are makes me happy, baby Girl bought a 8sec pass home ! 💪🏾🔧 PUT CHEESE ON IT!! 🏁

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you! I really appreciate these comments. I try very hard to be positive. It's not always easy and sometimes it gets away from me. This past weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions. Thanks again.

[@merchihernandez8541]

[@JoeWrenches]

[@Spoolinawd]

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks man!

[@VeliusCoba]

@41 seconds In WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JoeWrenches]

Yeah!

[@89Mirageman]

Congrats on the 8 second run! Sorry about the mishap but glad you're OK and the car only received minor damage. We stopped by to say hello but it was crowded and you guys were trying to enjoy your lunch so I just grabbed a pic of the car. Maybe next time!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by!

[@4familyman]

Congrats on the 8 Joe! Long time coming. Glad you are okay and I’d just leave the war wounds on car :)

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Eric. The scars are killing me. Poor Britney! 😭

[@ttpgarage]

Congratulations on your 8 second pass, man i was cheering you on at the pits and then I heard someone when into the sand traps (gravel). So then I heard it was you, you was shooken up for sure like anyone would be but glad you are ok man. Like you said you are ok and Brittney is ok that's all that matters at this point. Definitely a story to remember at the 30th Annual Shootout. Keep up the good work man 👍🏻

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks!

[@juanhernandez5009]

Is this car for sale

[@ozman1975]

Glad your good Joe. Wow, what an incredible set of events! Really admire your hard work, dedication and passion! Keep at it amigo, we are behind you!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Ozzie!

[@spoolinpos]

Glad you are okay, Joe! Congrats on the 8 second pass, you'll be back out there in no time. It was great seeing and chatting with you buddy! Looking forward to all your videos to come out.

[@JoeWrenches]

[@MPRPETE]

Big things ahead dude 💯

[@JoeWrenches]

She'll be back out there soon!

[@CSMtv1320]

Awesome video Joe! And sorry about the car, I heard it over the loud speaker what happened and was crushed to hear. But glad it wasn’t too bad!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks! ❤️

[@emperorgsx]

Cleanest 1g🔥😎

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank you!

[@Red2l16v]

Great to see you again Joe! Britanny is putting in that work!!

[@JoeWrenches]

You know it!

[@robmosley5309]

Glad you're ok brother! I didn't get a chance to see you this year

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Rob! I missed you!

[@WilliamDye-willdye]

Wow, I didn't realize how fast she was getting. Glad both of you are OK. Props to the track for maintaining the fallback area.

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Bill!

[@shaunwerning4975]

Good video, Joe. Very glad you and the car are safe.

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Shaun! Congrats to you!

[@KanjoNights]

Man what an emotional rollercoaster! The cars looking great and you got that much deserved 8 sec slip! Then you get paired up against the the pro-mod driving wizard tuner, 4Gesus himself: Kevin Jewer. He lays down a gorgeous wheelie and then Britney goes from drag racing to rock crawling! But in the end, you're safe and the car is no worse for the wear. That's what matters. Great video, Joe!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks for watching!

[@tylergriffin8299]

Glad your ok I’m sure that was one heck of a ride ! I’m gonna try to make it the shootout next year . If I can get out my butt an get my awd together an drive it there ! 😂

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks!

[@valadezjose47]

RIP Joe

[@joshvega4906]

some of my friends went up there and the first thing I ask was about the dollar ice cream. he was like dude its 3 dollars now and it's in a container. the world is ending lol

[@JoeWrenches]

Terrible news.

[@whe3ls356]

I hope they do the shoot out next year.

[@JoeWrenches]

The Promoters already said they are planning next year.

[@RaceCarRichie]

Joe!! How good does it feel to make a power pass like that!!!! I’m still waiting for my next track day to feel the full power of mine in the 1/4!!

[@JoeWrenches]

She feels great!

[@NickOlsen8390]

Glad you're okay Joe! What's the plan to make sure it doesn't happen again? Bigger brakes? A secondary chute?

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Nick! Learn to pack the chute right, improve the brake design.

[@Roakt]

Pretty solid trap speed post some tine splips or draggy time we want to see 😮

[@JoeWrenches]

Slip is in the video.

[@Roakt]

@@JoeWrenches ups sorry but congratz with the 8 😁

[@whoismario]

Still so happy for you for the 8s. It wouldn’t be the shootout with some sketchy 💩 happening. All things considering it’s a blessing to be able to drive away. Do think two chutes would be safer?

[@JoeWrenches]

Thank Mario. This was a learning experience. I learned how to pack the chute RIGHT, and I learned that my brakes need some work.

[@whoismario]

Did you forget the Gopros?@@JoeWrenches

[@VeliusCoba]

Joe & Crew @17:17 that's just sexy across the board Idc who you, SEXY!

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks

[@eclipsetrekker]

Congrats on the 8s pass ! How come the chute didn't deploy properly? Which brakes are you using?

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks. I didn't pack the chute right. The brakes are from Aerospace Components and they are already working on a solution.

[@eclipsetrekker]

just picked up a chute myself that's why I was asking. Packing it doesn't look like the easiest task I can see how mistakes can easily be made. Really glad your beautiful car is mostly ok and I know you'll have it back to perfection in no time! @@JoeWrenches

[@joegekko]

SMH my head at the ice-cream. Is life still worth it?

[@JoeWrenches]

I'm questioning...

[@gasparsperformance9841]

Did you pull that trailer with a 1500? If so, then how does it do pulling the trailer? Do you have air bags on the truck?

[@JoeWrenches]

No, I don't pull my trailer with a 1500.

[@gasparsperformance9841]

@@JoeWrenchesAw okay, I had asked because I have a 1500 and was curious as to how well it would pull an enclosed trailer

[@BoostAuthority]

How do you not run out of gear with those tiny ass front tires? I would think front drives wouldn't be running at least a 24.5 or 25.5 tire

[@JoeWrenches]

24.5” tire. 7% taller transfer gears for AWD. Custom 4.0 final drive from 3000GT. 9300 rpm through the traps at 160 mph.

[@Scratch-athon]

Rip brother. 😢

[@kellygallagher7055]

Thank God you are ok cuz. 🫶💞

[@JoeWrenches]

Thanks Cuz! ❤️
