It is so refreshing to hear someone owning up to mistakes. Thank you.

[@downshift83]

Wow the response time by the safety crew was amazingly fast

[@PalmBeachDyno]

They were amazing. As soon as the car came to a stop he was opening the door

[@chadkent1241]

Never been more heartbroken over a loss of someone else's car. Truly sorry, my friend!.....but soooo glad you're safe!!!

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support

[@davemurphy63C10]

Ah that hurts so bad to see. Class act in how you are handling it, props to you.

[@brucemoore634]

This is just my theory..once the car broke loose at the 60 foot Mark and lost initial speed when you got back into the car hard it was making too much torque and power for the track on the big end being the setup/ traction and the fact the car unloaded and loaded was the issue I don’t think it was you or the car. Simply because the car wasn’t grounded as it should be, nothing you could of done to save it.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thank you

[@AJUSA1]

@@brucemoore634 Dude... There was oil leaking out under the car... you can literally see it pouring out as he pulls away off the line... The tires got oil on them and the car lost traction and couldn't hook back up. Not the drivers fault. I agree there. @palmbeachdyno Hope you realize this. Watch the video closely.

[@aaronkowalewski659]

Dammn bro, the most important thing is that you're ok. You can always build another one. You and your crew are awesome and some the best in the game! Keep your head up!

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support

[@randylear8264]

Coming from a Mopar Muscle Car brother. So sorry for this major mishap. I know a lot of blood sweat and now tears go out. Been there. Stay strong and I will look forward to seeing your progress in the future. Good luck.

[@StoicMiles]

Ugh I am glad you’re safe and I know that was and is so difficult for you. I wrecked my mustang in similar circumstances. Ever since then I really don’t care about “things” anymore. It’s a shitty way to learn what matters but hey! We’re alive! Wishing you the best man and I am glad you’re safe

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Its a reality check for sure

[@gingersmedia]

very humble and transparent to be so upfront and owning of mistakes you made in regards to safety in the name of educating and trying to protect others. not a lot of people would do the same in your shoes

[@Surferguy09]

Sorry for your loss ken I been tuned by you guys for over 3 years thanks for the good work good luck with the rebuild

[@jpsantone]

Ken, I can’t say enough about the professionalism in how you handled this whole crazy thing. Tells a lot about a person.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thank you for the support

[@awesomeness369]

We can't loose another Ken

[@markthompson8459]

So glad you're Ok Ken. Build another Beast and hopefully we'll see you back in action soon 😊

[@eddiemay7021]

I'm glad you're ok man. Loved your work and progress on that car. Great shirt design.

[@tomkjr1]

Very sad day my friend. I feel your pain...been through it too. This really sucks but I'm glad you are OK.

[@Twobarpsi]

What a beautiful car! Followed it since day one. Glad you're ok. That was a huge impact.

[@JustinMcFly1980]

Glad your ok. We need more guys like you to stick around. So much experience and life lessons. Thanks for what you do .❤

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support

[@canah1]

I know it hurts, bro, and although there's nothing i can say that will bring it back, you have your life and many more blessings ahead of you. You'll be back stronger than ever 💪🏾

[@Royalties500]

This is heartbreaking, glad you walked away! Love all your videos on the 2020+ GT500 and honestly your videos are what pushed me to do a 3.8 whipple / FBO on my 2021

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support

[@ReevesTop]

awe man! That just breaks my heart! I know you will be back bigger and badder than ever brother!

[@Boosted3.7_AZ]

Shit, man! Glad you are okay!!!! That was super rough to watch. Hope you can rebuild it. 🙏🏼

[@brianhofer99]

Good God, so sorry this happened. I enjoy your spirit, and positivity. Most of all, glad you weren’t hurt. Best wishes as you move forward. RIP Overkill

[@kevinskonieczny7708]

Your approach about this in the aftermath is appreciated. Very thankful that you were not hurt badly brother. Come back even bigger and better.!

[@thomastaylor1594]

The main thing is that you’re here with us ready to go for it again and you mad it out of a bad wreck safely, God bless !🐍

[@afvet7961]

Bless your heart man! You seem like a great dude after his own passion. I strongly believe the man above takes care of good honest folks. On to the next, right! Live, learn and press on! Best of luck!

[@Lifeof728]

Greg is always nice. He helped me when I had issues with my Mustang 🤘🏾

[@redtalon9580]

Your car was awesome but I for one am glad that you are doing well and ok after that horrible crash! Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@ericnerenberg7064]

Tough video to make. I’m giving a like for you and everyone that had anything to do with the endless R and D with this project that supported the builds of countless incredible/unbeatable cars out there with the information that came directly from this project. Regardless of your decision with this car you have proven the combinations work world wide. Like you and PBD I’m Blue Oval inside, however….. Expanding the PBD footprint and taking your knowledge to the new twin cam LS3 Z06 platform with the same passion you brought for so many years to the Ford product could balance the racing universe. May the Force be with you. GL friend

[@wizza2315]

Really you don't sound like a Ford man at all. Don't sound like your loyal to much of anything. Why would Ken ditch Ford after all the groundbreaking and back breaking work he's done on Ford's? This car broke barriers man and you want him to dip o the darkside? Ur a joke a man

[@jamesbarone9098]

Man, that hurt to watch, from all perspectives. Glad you are safe brother, keep up the good work and hope to see you back at the track in a new 500 soon.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support!

[@koryburdette7478]

it may hurt now but its only the start of the next chapter, im glad your ok, a car can be fixed or replaced, a life cant, chin up brother, you got this, i cant wait to see what happens with the next steps

[@kentuckystumpjumper2882]

Damn man that sucks!! I've been watching you guys build this from day 1. Can't wait to see the new one

[@justin.c_svt]

So sorry to see. I know every time Something like this happens people say “Glad you’re OK bro cars can be replaced.” But I honestly mean it. I’m glad you’re OK man!

[@kcollins1996]

It’s a beautiful car I hope you keep it. Never seen someone so passionate, love to see it!

[@rickdearmas]

Glad you made it out ok. 🙏🏻 you’ll be back bigger than ever.

[@davllee2001]

Great spirit, and your “Overkill” will be back. God bless.

[@carculturenation2166]

god ive reached out to everyone i know that knows you when i seen this in the 1320video i knew it was you just by knowing every inch of the build i broke down and all i cared about is your safety and really wished we heard about you and your outcome sooner!! Wish you would've had atleast some one from crew or you let us know. we only seen bad top end crash knowimg what she was capable of. So glad you are ok and knowing what this car did for gt500 r&d and to see it go poof. glad u are good

[@codeblue2712]

Glad you are ok Ken. Sorry about the car, but I know you are going to get right back at it. Keep pushing mate.

[@user-wl4xn3ir2l]

Very humble top notch guy!! Just this video alone has me wanting to do with business with you guys.

[@nickb289]

Props for not wanting donations Ken. That’s the right thought process and shows your a good person.

[@walteranderson5090]

Oh. Bleep. Glad you're ok. Looking forward to the new project.

[@Silverizle]

So sorry to see that, i saw it in person at the shop with Steve. That’s my silver car in the background. I wish you the best of luck! Can’t wait to see what you guys do next.

[@volvo09]

I was happy to see you still had the airbags installed. Looked like a perfect situation for front and side airbags. That looked pretty brutal.

[@loloforge2841]

One of my favorite KZbinrs! I don’t even know what to say or where to start. First I’m glad he’s alive and ok, can walk and healthy and emotionally back to normal-ish. Second there’s gotta be an effort to put that car back to what it was. Yes it’ll be a fortune but that car was the king not because probably wasn’t the fastest (maybe it was) but it was THE BEST. Pedigree, Aura, presence, it wasn’t just a mustang it started and had the original GT500 platform. I was disappointed when it went TT. Shoulda kept it S/C, but that’s the nature of the the addiction for more Hp. Good luck and hope for a prompt recovery whether is with Overkill or not.

[@MrSvnwolves]

Ouch. A parachute would have been a nice thing to have.

[@Rhett.Castillo]

I agree. Probably would have helped keep it straight

[@ProjectFairmont]

That’s what I was thinking…

[@ethan5977]

Also had he not been hard on the brakes he would’ve saved it. He upset the car too much to save it putting all the weight on the front end and letting rear get light like that

[@aab350z]

@@ethan5977 One of the reasons I'm not a big fan on drag racing at this level. The cars don't really do anything well at this point other than hooking up, but only under acceleration. Those tires with their sidewalls the way they are are terrible once the car gets sideways, almost unrecoverable. It just becomes a big mess if things don't go right and you lose traction for whatever reason. Risk versus reward.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Worst part about that is we had one on the car and took it off. Hadn't gone fast enough with the turbos to need it...

[@glennjames9152]

I feel the pain for you! Sorry for the loss, but YOU are okay!!!

[@littlekid9019]

Glad your okay man!!! Your staple in this community and we need you!!! Be safe bro

[@PalmBeachDyno]

I appreciate that

[@Gma7788]

Detuning cars is a waste of your life. You think you're tuning but the cars were already tuned in the design stage. You're being exploited. You're finding out this the hard way.

[@robray7106]

My heart dropped when I saw this! Glad you are ok, bro!😊 Car is easier to replace than body parts.

[@josephelsis7343]

Sorry to see that brother, was a beautiful build , glad the car did it’s job and your safe, that video is crazy, my stomach turned when it got loose.

[@tommyboyGT350]

Man, that really sucks . what a beautiful Shelby, I have watched every ad on every part you have put on . I am so sorry man this happened..

[@superscort57]

Glad you're ok and well. You'll be back better and faster

[@_carnivore_joe1520]

Just glad you are ok Ken!

[@kevinakers5219]

Ken, things happen in the blink of an eye. Thank God u are ok. U are an inspiration. Kevin from Evendale is glad u are ok.

[@ricardocorbie6803]

😢oh Man,, that was brutal! Sorry Ken, glad you’re okay! I thought you had it up under control, but that last one ,, wow!!

[@tomhamilton9140]

Glad your OK. Good luck on the rebuild.

[@Itsamugsgam3]

Never seen a video just popped up in my algorithm but sheesh man Ik the pain and so does any car lover whose totaled their own I balled like a baby when I went to go get my stuff at the scrapyard but you carry those memories with you forever she lives on

[@todddooley793]

Damn man! Glad you're ok

[@wertpollwert]

Glad you're ok, brother! Get back on that horse.

[@shadspov]

glad you're ok man on the flip side, the Santa look is on point 🎅

[@PalmBeachDyno]

😆

[@ProjectFairmont]

A humbling experience no doubt. Talking about and doing this video, that’s part of getting over it. I hit the wall at Sebring between corners 10 and 11. Survived physically and financially to tell the story and yea, what doesn’t kill you…

[@Tonxz_]

RIP the 500 I shed a tear 😢 glad you’re okay and you walked safely away from it comeback is gonna be crazy 💯

[@07slowbalt]

I feel for your loss but respect you more than ever for asking for no donations or to donate to someone that truly needs it. You have a very successful business and i know you'll be back on top in no time. My 2018 f-150 is pretty far from a gt500 in any comparison but i did find out my ABS was being applied to my rear brakes even with my TC turned off. I rarely turn off advanced trac but I'm unsure if it would make a difference. At 45k miles my rear pads were gone and the remaining rotor life was nearing its minimal thickness all while my front brakes were in decent shape. I do hot rod my truck around, heavy takeoffs, hard on braking in the hills etc but im not brake torquing my truck either. It was all the proof i needed that ford programmed these vehicles to unknowingly be applying brakes when detecting wheel spin to counter it. I never noticed it while driving but it was definitely happening. Ended up doing a full powerstop upgrade.

[@JJD-9403]

Ouch. So sorry man. That's horrible. Glad you're ok.

[@stergios77]

Damn sorry for your loss , i hope you get it running again❤️

[@1of1RTR]

Glad to see you're okay 🙏

[@dukejohnson2205]

This is awful. Sorry about the crash but I am glad you are OK. I have been following you since you acquired Overkill. I have a 2020 gt500 and have loved all of your videos. Your diligent efforts shown in your videos have entertained me, informed me, and inspired me and probably are responsible for the levels of performance that gt500s enjoy. So thanks for all of that. Hope you can continue on.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support. We'll be back

[@Freecomments4u]

My dude, you took the risk and thank you for doing so. If it inspired someone to become a mechanic or racer, good on you.

[@gustavedorantejr4372]

Glad you ok when u finally came to a holt i can feel your pain immediately 🙏🏾

[@jimmymccormick142]

Sorry bro we all know you will be back even better God bless you glad you are ok

[@ericmelson9352]

😮😢 Sorry for your loss Bro......... Glad you're walkin and talkin though

[@BigFootStepping]

Damn man. Come back stronger like how it’s supposed to be done💪🏽

[@adambrewer604]

Dang man! Glad your okay brotha

[@joshgutierrez6002]

100% class, Bravo

[@richardmodglin3900]

So sorry! Glad you are alright.

[@N4CR5]

Saw this happen in person and it was sad to see. Glad you are okay and learned lots and shared that with the community. Safety is first.

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Thanks for the support

[@justjoshwalker]

Sorry it had to happen; the first videos of this car going down the track motivated me to get my own Gt500; hope y’all go the rebuild route, legends don’t come around often✌️

[@Z28Blake]

Glad to see you're ok.

[@mikehughes8023]

Glad you are good to go bruh…we have plenty vids of Overkill to look at!👍🏿

[@johnwillingham1748]

Man I'm sorry but you are still here love you man.

[@Fauxbra]

Glad you are ok Ken.

[@spooler7828]

Yup, you have a Yaw sensor on some cars it will mash the brakes on you causing you to overcorrect and go the other way quick. Dang near killed me on the tail of the Dragon when the backend stepped out. I corrected and it mashed the brake on one rear wheel causing the car to snap back the other way.

[@Caman355]

Sorry for your loss man! Glad youre ok! Do you think the issue had anything to do with having the stock front tires on the car with slicks? I thought I was told awhile ago that if you run stock front tires with slicks they counteract each other since they have different grip levels. It was recommended to run skinnies. Just wondering if that was something you were thinking of. You tuned my twin turbo Mustang remotely here in AZ and it runs amazing!! There is a racing event Im thinking of entering in Tucson but would like to hear your thoughts on the tire setup though.

[@TheJosesrt4]

Men! I'm glad that you are ok. what happened sucks, but you did a great job slowing the car down. It would've been way wost if you would've the wall at the speed that you were going. Stay safe and bring it back to life. 🤙🏽

[@PRED8TR_21]

The main thing is you’re ok, can’t wait to see Overkill 2.0

[@paulhudgins5120]

Damn Ken, feel for you, such a awesome great looking beast of a car, that was for the most part a test vehicle for all the GT500 performance work done, it's so sad too see. The best thing is that you were not seriously hurt going at that speed, a big shout out to Ford for building such a safe car to protect the driver. Again so sorry Ken, we will see what you do next.

[@whitefoxcoupe2024]

Glad to see you’re ok. The car can be replaced. You are blessed.

[@isaacmedina2957]

Great video. Sorry about that beauty of a car. You handled everything so well.

[@dereklacey1]

Just be glad you made it out safely. That was a bad one! There will be other cars. I love your show.

[@machdaddy6451]

So sad. Mad respect!

[@frankensteincamaro]

I hear your pain especially when your connected to the car and care deeply for it. Non car people will not understand that statement. Build it and come back stronger. ❤❤❤

[@patrickkennedy2533]

So very sorry my friend . I had to add this , i have ton of respect for someone who wouldn't think of using a situation like this to raise money . It's honesty that this world is in need of .

[@merc2275]

Damn to say I know exactly how you feel will be stupid but alot of us were with you from the beginning of this build and are saddened to see this happen. Car can be replaced Glad you're O.K. 🙏✌️

My heart breaks with yours brother! However, Praise God for keeping you safe and healthy!

What a class man!

Glad your ok !

[@ncphotos]

Sorry to hear about the wreck but happy you are ok.

[@CoyoteAUS]

Scary stuff glad your safe. I have a Whippled 10R80 GT and am changing the diff to a wavetrac because I don’t trust the oem one in mine.

[@josevega23]

The good thing is you didn’t get hurt,much love,Blessings.

[@gregisdivorced]

Glad you’re safe. From the looks of it looked like a bad pass from the get go. From my experience if I have a bad pass, I just let off the gas and coast and don’t push it. Glad you have lots of friends everywhere that’ll help out seeing that you were a good stretch away from home @itsjustasix has the same car as you I believe just as built also.

[@CamaroSS2236]

A lot of people can make negative comments thinking they would do it better, but the track is humbling.

[@400hpmustang]

Unfortunately when you live at full kill, this sort of thing can happen. Glad you're ok, walked away and could share your story.
