Sick Seconds Gives

‪@CleetusM‬ didn't hold back when we gave him the keys to the Sick Seconds Drag Week Camaro.
First Tom needed to check the car out and make sure it would behave itself after a few years away from the track. After a couple of test passes it was time for Cleetus to take the wheel for the first time.
He started out well and it only got better when he smashed his PB with a huge 6.53/224mph run (thought things got a little 'spicy' in the braking area). He might have been a bit nervous at the start but by the end of the day we couldn't wipe the grin off his face!
So what's next for Sick Seconds? Well as many of you have said in the comments, the car is for sale. Or should that be 'was' for sale?
During the video I noticed a dumb moment. I had my visor up for my second run, despite preaching how important it is to have it closed! I was distracted by the issues the car was having and plain forgot - even after having a major fire so recently. I'll be changing my routine for the future so I don't forget.

The nervous jokes coming out of cleet are gold. Cant blame him though. Thats a hell of a unit

[@Matty.Hill_87]

The feeling of coming off the trans brake on a car like this must be terrifying, i bet getting up on the 2 step is scary enough 🤣🤣

[@LoganFord91]

Like being hit in the ass by an 18 wheeler going a 100 mph.

[@stern12akachris32]

This was the most serious I have ever seen Cleetus . First time hitting the gas the OMG moment in his eyes was priceless

[@michaelbeelby1995]

Right.....From concentrated stare to full blown 'Holy Crap' dinner plate eyes. I've never seen utter shock in him before.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

His eyes were so wide he could see all them futures Dr strange saw in endgame 🤣🤣

[@Trooperx86]

When he first ran Warbird he was pretty terrified. It just goes to show how much of an animal this car is though.

[@davefroman4700]

Nawwww he is like this in Warbird every time before a burnout. All business with someone else's machine.

[@dmeemd7787]

woohoo!! AWESOME!

[@A7Xfan2007]

The fact Steve Morris is teaching cleet about the engine,really makes me think he bought it!!

[@thewrightsstuffall-out.8012]

When he said if it goes a 5.99 the price goes up. I'm pretty sure that means he is buying it lol.

[@darynbatterson4937]

That and Steve morris said "I'll give you a refresher course on drag week and all that too"

[@caseyb1316]

That’s prob why Tom is making the Nomad.

[@thewrightsstuffall-out.8012]

Read in his description that lets me know Cleet bought it.

[@Locomakes]

On Steve’s channel little bit back he was building a SMX engine for Cleetus and haven’t seen the motor on anything in the regular fleet wanting 3k + go so it could have been cleetus engine in that car

[@marcwells2463]

How AWESOME is Tom Bailey and his team!!! You guys ROCK!!!

[@micheltremblay4774]

Many fast cars coming out of the wood; Tom's Sick Seconds, Cleetus' "The Mullet", Alex Taylor's 55 Gasser and Justin's Lexus to name a few. On the last run, Tom grew more grey hair; Chute! Chute! Chute! Chute! Glad Cleetus came out safe and the car in racing preparedness. Thanks all for a great video and Godspeed!

[@rskrzz6233]

there could have been no better way to come back full circle. good work tom and cleeter.

[@Sanderly1820]

Never seen cleater looking so serious and a little nervous, you can see now how quick mullet will be

[@vincem5]

i think it has just dawned on him that to go this fast everything needs to be spot on. something not in Cleeter's vocab lol

[@Awesummzzz]

It reminds me of his attitude with Warbird and Killa Bee. He's okay breaking his own cars, but is incredibly careful with anyone else's. That's respect for the craft

[@steverebuilds152]

Mullet won't be that fast. They'd have to re-tub the car and and re-fab the whole bed.

[@kfaust154]

@@vincem5 im pretty sure thats why hes not building the elco

[@LEOhopeful]

Well, remember, Cleeter had Steve Morris build him an engine...we just haven't seen what it's going in yet.

[@LextechLighting]

All yall sitting here saying he bought toms car, completely overlooking the fact he was taking lessons from Steve about the SMX powerplant....... that he bought for the Elco. This was a demo run for him to meet Steve and see what the SMX can do. 💥💥

[@A7Xfan2007]

There isn’t a smx in the elco,it’s a Texas speed 427,Steve did build an engine for cleet, but he hasn’t shown it on the channel yet.

[@LextechLighting]

Naw that was the old engine. New one you just saw run in toms car. That was the elco engine.

[@LextechLighting]

.....and I don’t mean LIKE the elco engine. That WAS the elco engine. Hence why he said this is a brand new engine so here’s what we are going to do for the first time.

[@scottterwiel]

Or cleat bought the engine out of 1.0. Bailey saying he wants to put a smx in 1.0 to go faster. Many possibilities....

[@A7Xfan2007]

How would it though it’s not gonna generate any more revenue he’d just be buying it for a. Toy. And cause of sentimental value.

@@rachaeldesjardins8043 exactly for sentimental value, he has enough revenue material so can prob afford a "toy". The ones who get big enough often seek out what got them started in the first place, as a trophy.

[@kurtbarrett6785]

I have to say, the lack of any kind of panic, during the lack o chute scenario, was pretty impressive! Tom definitely needs some credit too... I can't imagine how hard it would have to be, watching someone else do a full tilt pass, in your very beautiful and rather expensive car! Anyhow, that was just a great video!

Takes quite the guy to let someone else drive a car of this caliber and cost.

That was awesome of you to let him drive that car. I bet Cleetus learned a valuable lesson as well. I bet he will be packing and checking the chutes from now on anything he drives.
