Thanks Tom and Ayden for the great week of Videos. It was great to see the young Man go from no lic to 9 sec 1/4 mil runs. Thanks again for the great ride. Take care and stay safe. I can say us FANS/Viewers are proud of Ayden and what he did in a short time building and running the week. It is hard on PROs let alone a young Man on his first race week.

Hear, hear Matthew McCormick,, HEAR, HEAR! Of all the 30 0r so comments I've read yours IMHO says everything with ONE EXCEPTION I might add,, we know Ayden needs at least 3 or 4 summers (hope he goes off to college and earns a degree in business management so he can be of benefit to Dad's business!) of drag racing, working his way up the ranks to one day pilot a Tom Bailey SICK 'Three Second' ProMod with Bailey Racing, Dennis Taylor Chassis & Steve Morris Engines logos plastered all over it. Whata bunch of great memories the guys enjoyed making this week. Thank YOU Tom for taking us along,, we thoroughly enjoyed every video AND we're guessing we ain't seen NUTH'N yet of the Sh*tBox '57!.

9 seconds is pretty damn impressive, my first 1/4 mile was 14. And that was fast for a road registered car 20 years ago. I was told that every 1 second you shave off requires double the HP but I was pushing a 4 banger at 100hp per piston. The fuel is a lot better now but think 1998 tech if you have.

Kevin @KSR got the last laugh, he pulled a John Deere on Cleeter. Sure you own the car but he made it so technical Kevin is the only one who can tune it. Cleetus needs a GTO (gas,tires and oil) car unless it takes nitrous or can be worked on with a hammer and cresent wrench him and James are lost. You notice since Dr. Tune Em All didn't work on them they didn't wheelie and break stuff.

Keep it up but keep the hood down.....lol....Great content and a great story to have documented and be able to look back on in 20 years. I love it and desperately want to be a part of race weeks as soon as I possibly can! Hoping to take my Father, who isn't really into race cars but loves traveling, and was in the car biz for 40+ years. But he only has a year or two left to enjoy it with his Parkinsons and Dementia.I'm trying hard to get it done quick, even with a pretty stock, but semi quick, car that I have in mind. I've found a few that are mildly modded and I'll be able to be consistent in an index class. I just need to get the car! Keep up the great work and content, keep passing this stuff down through generations and doing it SAFE and right!!! I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!
