Sick Drag Week 2022 Day 5! Blowing Up SoccerMom Chasing a Goal!!

[@stephencicero]

I never thought I would ever hear Kevin say "I turned all the safety's off"

[@warrenmichael918]

I bet it killed him too!! LOL He wanted that 7 pretty bad

[@tbusch63]

He figured she was hurt but she will still run! He wanted that 7 REAL bad! and now he knows the weak points, he will Beef it up and come back stronger and faster than ever!

[@John-hw3ds]

Everybody is like, what have you done with our Kevin? This imposter is a mad man...LOL!

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

7.82 is also what Leroy went on that epic first 7s pass with no coolant! :)

[@papamikegolf]

I for one do enjoy the camera angles. Seeing the weight transfer from under the car is pretty cool.

[@mediumjumbo7484]

Very Koool !

[@adambergeron6991]

I was thinking the same thing

[@c117ls7]

Same!

[@spencerdavid9453]

I have learned so much from Kevin about suspension setup and tuning for my own car all the camera angles are amazing for actually understanding what is happening with the car

[@joelwalmsley7217]

I personally haven't seen an angle like that. Watching a burnout and launch was very interesting

[@jaimesan2609]

Kevin has thousands of folks living vicariously though his racing exploits. Pretty amazing dude.

[@ronnieka3309]

Kevin’s a real racer, just going for that last opportunity! He knew it was toast anyway. Glad you had a good last run.

[@zoeysimpson4432]

that rear facing cam was gold 😍

[@kevinthomas8025]

Great job guys, I was watching the live feed daily to see how everyone was doing. A 7 average after that many miles is awesome

[@tomahoks]

And 3rd spot at podium.

[@newtekie1]

That waterboy reference was hilarious considering I'm watching the superbowl while I'm watching this video!

It was all in or nothing

[@threadtapwhisperer5136]

Oh hell yeah, all these modern day mechanical Spartans dont have Quit wired up or even installed. The Full Send on display is absolutely a polish to the badassery of thrashing for an entire week while not really trying to save these cars from breaking. As in, aint no one reducing their launch RPM unless the car is already hurt, just 100% until its broke, then 205% until the rods exit stage left. Man, I dont have any cash, but id love to do ome of these in my 1998 k1500, 230k miles, I'm thinking it should have the ring gap by now to run 300hp on the Smurf sauce. ......once.... Lmao. Might get into the 13s range..maybe. She a thick truck, about 6800lbs

That was an awesome week. I'm kinda glad I was stuck at home thanks to the WuFlu, cause I was able to watch the live streams on Tom Baileys channel. That was kinda cool of the 1320 guy to bring the camera up for you too. Makes me want to get my own race car and do race car things.

[@roneckler9937]

Awesome job, Kevin. I'm glad Derek (VGG) stopped by your shop one day, or I would never have known about your channel.

[@mahan122010]

It was awesome to see you all do what you love. I especially enjoyed talking with Kimber ( i apologize if i misspelled) . It was really cool for him to take the time to talk with me and my son and give us the history of Soccer Mom and how the car evolved. Really cool to see pictures of her past to where she is now!!!!!!! Thank you all!!

[@keithharden7844]

You know he will.

[@zulumagoo1]

Amazed at all the high quality entertainment we are given, and Kevin is STILL enjoying every aspect of life, including high quality family time. This channel rocks like that Rock97.5 out of Orlando. Kinda lifts your spirit.

[@scene24man]

Damn that under car view is awesome. All of them really, thank you for that extra work!

Kevin always gets some cool camera angles

[@hotrod2893]

Drained the coolant and turned all the safeties off. What a legend! Congratulations to you, Will, and Soccer mom for an awesome week.

[@kimberjones9968]

Great work Kevin and Will. Sometimes you just drain the coolant and see what happens

[@warrenmichael918]

Was it a hard decision for you guys to make to drain it and pretty much assure it would blow up to make the 7s ? I doubt it was since you guys knew you had the ability to fix anything that broke.

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

@@warrenmichael918 ,The engine was already hurt. It would of torched the head even if it had water in it. it was really are safety issue. if the engine was filled with water, when it popped it would of sprayed water everywhere and most likely under the rear tires and that is never a good thing. Like Kevin said in the video they hurt the engine in Georgia with it running out of injector and making it go lean.

[@kimberjones9968]

@@warrenmichael918 it wasn’t a hard decision to make and we mentally prepared for the outcome. Draining water was necessary for the pass and safety. As you saw he was ready for chute. Fire system was ready too. Calculated risk to ensure it ran 7. Belly pan would have caught the rest.

[@michaelcaraway2305]

Tom Bailey has set the bar very high for all the Drag n Drive events. Best I've seen in the past 3 years.

[@skitv8780]

Great content, Kevin, you just have that presence on camera, informative, humor, things you either have or don't. Always enjoy watching you. You obviously are a master welder. I am a want to be racer in my 50s. I worked for some years in a speed shop 35 plus years ago in Madison, WI. Looking back, wow, how much has changed. Now with more time and money, I want to get back into it again. I am a decent mig welder, but I would find it informative for a guy like you to explain welding mild steel, chrome moly, why you can't mig moly, but you can tig moly to mild, if you have a car with a moly cage, can you mig a bracket to it? That is all confusing to me, and having an expert like yourself explain it all would be awesome

[@josh_86]

Nice to see a regular guy doing this, he is so genuine on camera and not trying to act a certain way.... Refreshing to see for sure....keep being yourself Kev

[@ph177117]

You are such a class act! You sent that car knowing you would hurt it to chase that goal. The fact you help so many racers and work so hard at what you do makes you my favorite KZbinr. I have never purchased merchandise from any one before, (it's just not my thing) but as soon as the video was over I went to winwithksr and made a purchase. I know my small purchase won't fix your broken motor, but it will show my support for what you do. Thank you KSR

So awesome to see you win that award, it was definitely earned that's for damn sure ! I think this was a much needed break from the monotony of every day life and a schedule full of deadlines. It was a great change to see you let lose and enjoy yourself I think with everything you do you definitely deserved it . And talking about ending the day with a bang haha.that really topped the cake. Everyone loves to see a little bit of carnage now and then, I'm sure that block is salvageable and the rotating assembly is still in good shape too a little welding and a trip to the machine shop and fresh bearings she'll be good as new. Congratulations 🎊 👏 on your finish and once again thank you for taking us along the way . You guys definitely killed it out there 👏
