I truly appreciate all of you guys questions, compliments, and feedback. It’s one of the reasons I get out of bed in the morning

[@CharlesJohnson-pi7ii]

Great video

[@rosskrause3926]

Steve I have been watching lots of videos where you are one of the drivers,and I must say you really have a handle on your car,from the starting line to wheeling back around..your car launches and accelerates so fast !! I thought I was fast back in the early to mid 80's with my 1st car,a 67 SS Camaro with a 327 I built..it was fast for back then but my god your car and others are so badass ! Keep it up and stay safe ! I am hoping you guys come to Ennis,Texas at the Texas Motorplex sometime so I can check you all out ! Thanks for the awesome video here !

[@BoostedCyclePerformance]

Steve, you forgot one import step in your program. While tossing out the gap band, at about the 1000ft mark you failed to mention “hoss’in” the gas. Hahaha

[@kolemieux]

Outstanding and much appreciated!!!

Hey dude. I hope you have a great Saturday. You are Stevie Fast Jackson!

[@parkercarter3917]

Don’t think anyone else would do a video like this. Really appreciate it. You are a true professional.

[@johnmancuso6726]

What a great watch and listen to the crazy process you go through. As a former Top Fuel Harley rider, there are a lot of similarities if focus and concentration but you are really busy in that car! I truly appreciate your speaking on focus "way down the track and well beyond the finish line" You go where you look. Thanks for such an interesting and precise presentation!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you John! I love me some Top Fuel Harley! Those things are insane.

[@titanary68]

That was the coolest video I have ever watched on KZbin.

[@relaxedguy]

This was amazing to watch, never see the whole process before and imagine there are a million other tricks to master to get a good, safe run. Great explanation.

[@MET90LX]

Lots of people don’t understand how much work is involved to drive one of those things. And the amount of concentration you need to have. Great video. Thanks

[@maxium4x4]

Hard to explain to another person what you do when it comes naturally. You did a great job letting us take a ride along and putting it all together.

[@adrianmarsden4188]

One of the most informative video's on pro mod drag racing I've seen, thanks Steve, and good luck with your racing.

[@32vofFury]

Great for the sport bro!!!! Awesome to have someone taking the time to do this for everyone. I'm sure there are a ton of people who are 'afraid' someone might spot a weakness or give away their 'secrets.' You putting yourself out there and showing everyone what's involved and how much goes into this is the best thing any driver can do. Good Luck this season! Give them all the five finger discount double check!

[@billybillj8racing728]

[@stevecleveland6644]

Stevie , your are a true professional racer. I've lived in Augusta for the past 35 years and have been to the track in Jackson over the years and never seen someone with your professional attitude at the track. You truly can tell you LOVE what you do. I"m a Fire Fighter and I love what I do, so I bet that you feel the same way about racing as I do about Fire Fighting and that is When you love what you do, you will never feel likes its work. YOU ARE THE MAN.

[@SteveJones-xq9bp]

This was a great video! Answered a lot of questions I’ve wondered about for a long time. Will be looking to see you crush the field in 2019

[@jeffcourtney8101]

After watching this I swear my blood pressure and heart rate jumped 50 points. Great info. Only bad part about it is it just makes me want to do it even more. Good luck to you and your team in the future.

[@zimmyman564]

You sir are awesome thank you for a great inside look i am a 61 year young man that got into drag racing in 1995 as a photographer. I met a guy with a pro street car we had fun but never got the grasp of there was more to it than go to the track race a bit load up drink beer and go home. In 2004 i hooked up with a boss from work and we won a I.H.R.A. World Championship together. I later was on a funny car team with a 1948 fiat Topoleneo and a JR. Dragster which in 2008 i was awarded a Trophy for crew chief of the year in the Jr. Dragster part of the team. In 2011 i joined a T/A Dragster team and our first run set a track record at home of .98 sixty foot and a 4.98 188 mph in the 1/8 th mile but do to the job thing i had to leave that venture. Hope i didnt bore you but i would love to see more and wish you the best in 2019.

Absolutely incredible, being someone that is building a casual street / strip car and has never been down the track yet this really puts things into perspective. I will now start to educate myself on how to do a proper burnout , safety, improving on my driving skills and proper track etiquette. Really liked this video , you did a great job! You’re my favorite pro mod driver hands down !

always been a 1/8 mile pro mod fan this gave me a new appreciation for 1/4 mile pro mods

That was wildly informative and entertaining! Thank you for taking the time to produce this content.

Thanks for taking the time to post your videos! Very informative and interesting!! A lot more to it than the average joe will ever know. Congratulations on your recent win and stay safe!

[@beewsee]

This is awesome! This kind of technical stuff is great for fans who want to dig deeper into how these things work and what it takes to drive them. Thanks for taking the time to explain it in depth and not doing an easy 5-minute video.

[@xp836]

Incrediblely awsome vid SFJ. I watched you race a couple of times in the past 5-6 years. After taking the time to do this vid...a fan for life. Phillipines in 1945....i was there, lol. Stay safe, drive hard, you're the man.

[@robertbourret9744]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing the intricacy of driving a ProMOd. Definitely the most fun class to watch.

[@jayjordan_00]

Stevie fast your my favorite driver. I was wondering can you do a video on basic track maintenance between rounds?

[@GnadFlea]

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing the experience!

[@anetworkservice]

Great video Steve! That was the longest run in history... LOL Loved every minute of it! It took you 30 minutes to describe probably a 10 or 15 second pass. Really made it understandable. Thanks!

[@georgetincher7859]

This video illustrates perfectly why drag racing is the best form of motorsports in existence. Could you imagine a NASCAR, Indy or Formula 1 star taking the time to make a 30 minute video to give fans an inside look at everything they do from start to finish? Drag racers are by far the most fan friendly of all the race car drivers. It is amazing to attend a drag racing event and take a stroll through the pits. You can actually walk right up to the cars and can talk to the drivers. And they embrace the fans, rather than treating fans as a nuisance. It is simply a different world. For anyone that hasn't gone to an NHRA or PDRA event, you owe it to yourself to experience this just once. If you do, you are hooked for life.

[@davidwoods8982]

Just saw your video.. .. A really great detailed view of what happens in a high powered car. I was hoping to go for my 1st run down the track in 30 years and 25 years before that is when I was racing. A lot has changed in 55 years. Biggest thing is... I'm old! But I am still hopeful to take 1 more run down the track.. Thank you so much for the lesson!

[@jiggyquinn5635]

I realize I just watched an old video, but I have to tell you how throughly I enjoyed this insight! Thank you so much!!

[@jordanstokes9720]

Thank you very much for this video Stevie! I didn't know about all the things you talked about and really how much goes on inside that rocket before take off. Really cool to see this and learn a couple things.

[@SorryWereOpen247]

TUTORIAL???...This is more of a "Documentary" !.....WOW !!!....I RESPECT YOU SIR !!! Warren Johnson could NOT have done a better job...Great articulation and communication skills with spot-on information that I'm sure answered a lot of questions people had been inquisitive about but were afraid to ask. Most fans know you guys are at "work" when you're at the races and find "question(s)" as inappropriate. BTW ...I used to run this class back in the late eighties with a Don Ness Camaro before "Pro Mod" was added under IHRA sanctioning. At that time, The class was labeled as "Top-Sportsman". Pro Mod was added later on to relinquish the "Quick-8" category of Top-Sportsman. Fans wanted to see the Nitrous elites of Top-Sportsman on Sunday, But the Quick-8 shootouts were ran Saturday nights and ALL of those guys was only there for the Quick 8 purse to begin with so they intentionally go out first round Sunday...There goes half of the show right there !!!...Great times 👍👍

[@caddesigner216]

see you again next year at the track and good luck...love seeing you run.

What brand belts and how are they sowed and how are they mounted. Give us a in depth look at Safety. I feel a lot of ppl Over look this topic. I see it all to often in the Deep South grudge seen.

Thanks alot man. Answered alot of my questions. The average racer doesnt think about the small things like making the front end light while burning too much fuel on the starting line. Or how much actually goes into driving one of those things. Seems like yall have it down to a science. Like I said in my previous post, Good Luck next season.

[@shawng7902]

I can and have , sat and watched your videos all day instead of being in the garage like I should wrenching on my junk. Your personality just draws people to you so much. After that burnout video talking about toasting 60 grand worth of motor to win a $5,000 contest, you were instantly my hero! you said "you cant take it with you , so ill blow every damn penny of it". I knew instantly I had found my new 1990's John Force. His interviews won his fans. World champ over and over but still so excited it was like his first top fuel ride ever, talking 100mph and so excited he couldn't even focus. I see a lot of that in you my friend. Someone who truly does what he loves every day of his life. It's no jib you can tell its a whole life. I honestly pray I get a chance to meet you in person someday soon. What a fun guy to watch!!

[@marktaylor4821]

Hi Stevie, just fascinating and such a good video. Your explanation was fascinating. I'm in England and have been a Formula 1 fan since I was a kid but with a few trips to Santa Pod so I've seen some good quality racing which I love. I hope that you and your family all stay healthy and safe and that you get some good racing in 2021. T

[@Killianwilliams]

Always appreciate your videos Steve

[@williamstamper442]

Its alot to take in. Ive never drove quicker then 10.30, ive been around 8.50 cars intimately, and i totally understand this is a process. Although a little long winded, this was an awesome real life description. Also as he indicates, different drivers do different things...i mean, imagine that! Most important to me is when you bump in top bulb, you care less about other lane. U got a job to do. Do your own proven thing going all in, and react. I like what he said about not staring down the tree. Pro tree you stare down the center of the top bulb. If you bracket racing its not much different, but for me stare down the center of the 3rd yellow. Nothing else matters. Im no expert and i enjoyed this video!
