The Transmission Fix That Took Me To Topfuel .

[@bobwilliams1535]

As an old story teller myself I appreciate listening to you. Keep those videos and stories coming! 👍👍

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed the story 👍

[@BoilerRoomRadio]

I have a feeling Clay.... this season is going to be a Wally Walk for your team. I pray you win the 2025 championship.

[@claymillican25]

Thank You 😊

[@bigdog2024]

What a class act you are Clay. You never forget the people who helped you along the way to your success. The hands-on training you got in your early years still shows in the way you interact with people and sponsors. Your videos show that to you it’s about the people not the money. Yes, it requires money but if you don’t have a full on trust relationship with people and treat them right the money will never come. Your support of the “kids” on your team is another piece of evidence, those kids love you as their Dad who they would do anything for! That kind of authenticity is impossible to fake. And every other team and driver out there has huge respect for you as a person not just another TF driver. I sure hope younger drivers in all motorsports watch your channel to see how it should be done. Looking forward to great 2025, defending your US Nationals win and picking up a few more Wallys and moving closer to that title.

Thanks for sharing this part of the story Clay. It good to remember all the people that played a key part in your journey whatever your journey may be.

[@JainaBellydance]

I used to babysit Debbie and Raymond's kids as I lived right around the corner from them. You may or may not remember me but I definitely remember talking to you.

[@williamevans6043]

Thanks for sharing, great stories are never boring Clay !

[@dksaevs]

[@BenjySparky]

Leigh, you rock! Supporting your brother ❤. Peace 🤘 🍻 💨

[@claymillican25]

Great video Clay thank you for taking us back to your roots 😁 it's always fun to watch great guys like yourself telling their stories 😊

[@claymillican25]

Glad you enjoyed it!!! 😊

[@claymillican25]

Appreciate You 😊

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

Man, I literally think before posting, it’s kinda like being a regular somewhere but I don’t drink 😁 Thing is, you’ve touched on a few things that matter to me. I do and have done a lot of work just because. I think I’ve designed around 20 cycling jerseys for Habitat because I have the hands for it. I only went to one key ceremony at a house because it’s so intense, not a dry eye in the place. Because of that link I *almost got to design a shirt for Carter - longer story. I’ve broken bread with people that are homeless, all the way up to someone who was a medical officer for the un (design 2 books for him). For me that’s the only way to live, reciprocity makes it all go ‘round. Frick, did it again 😁

[@GerryDelisle]

Thanks Clay for charing some of your history with us

[@patrickbachman2184]

Loyalty to the people and their spirit that helped you achieve your dreams is just one of the qualities of your character that has created the fan base that has now become legendary in racing. When you are known as ‘the people’s racer’ it’s for a dang good reason. You love them as your fans love you,without reservations. Thank you for taking us along with you and the team,this ride just keeps getting better! STOMPUS MAXIMUS

[@markbrewer4862]

We love bench racing with you Clay! Keep up the stories!!!

[@claymillican25]

Appreciate the love for the stories. 😊

[@OGRocker1]

"Story time w/ Clay" sounds good to me, more, more, please.... RIP Raymond, thank you for helping Clay and treating the World to his good nature... And thank you Clay for being you a real person and a great racer... Take care, till the next... 🤛 Class of '80 here

[@maryhapster6644]

Thoroughly enjoyed the story time! You & your relationships with like minded comrades are priceless.😊😊

[@purebredamericanmutt]

Too be honest I started watching because of the racing and camera angles but at 57 trips down memory lane and working in the shop are my favorite part now. Good luck with the new transmission and may your tires always have grip

[@claymillican25]

Glad you like the shop stuff too!😊

[@craigyount3828]

Clay what a great story..I remember meeting you in the early 1990's My stepdad and I were running a B/ED in IHRA Modified eliminator and occasionally switching over to Top dragster depending on car count..We were in the Staging lanes at Bristol..What an inspiration you are ..Drag racing is Very hard work and to be successful and do it for a living is even harder..Thank you my friend for keeping my dream alive while I was racing..I work some races now for NHRA and run into you at Indy, Bristol, Norwalk..You are still an inspiration my friend..Thank you and I look forward to hearing some more stories

[@lkempf79]

Love these stories. Don’t feel like you’re making it too long. Interesting to hear people’s stories of how they got to where they are

[@josephgardner1330]

Hell yeah nice to learn a little bit of your back story

[@claymillican25]

Thanks for watching!!! 😊

[@BenjySparky]

Clay, you rock! Thanks for taking us along, memory lane. Of course, I stayed to the end. Peace 🤘 🍻 💨

[@akabruno1]

[@claymillican25]

Thank You 😊

[@lelle6728]

Thanks for sharing, Clay. So cool to listen to you talking about your career in dragracing.

[@donaldhaire1502]

I'm ready race season but I have truly enjoyed your videos and story time with Clay

[@davidrecker8596]

Hey Clay just wanted to say your stories may not be exciting as racing but they are good stories that I really like hearing just keep being you

[@davidsullivan9873]

For the record I love your shop talks

[@JosephThompson-xl4su]

Probably one of your best videos, thanks for sharing.

[@MrNegative57]

What a great ride down memory lane. Didn't realize how close to TCI I live now. So much and many people I remember but don't. Cool 😎

[@JQR-t5m]

Love your stories Clay, please keep sharing them. Very best wishes

[@Randysshop]

Great story Clay. Clay Millican the story teller, you need to do it more!! Thanks👍👍

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

I love story time Clay and all the content. Stay safe, God Bless.

[@mikesimpson1635]

Love hearing you stories can't wait for the season to start go stomp on the loud peddle

[@gregsidel3557]

It's your history clay and you have a right to talk about it it's great that you do talk about it because it makes you proud and the ones that are interested might want to hear about it I for one I want to hear about it because it's something that happened personally to you and it's great fantastic video thank you for the story and I'm glad you're there

[@Russell9778]

Thank you for sharing

[@claymillican25]

Glad you liked it.

[@paulkirchen3248]

Great content as always Clay..and only 18 days until our birthday 😢

[@jakee5557]

Thank you Clay for that. Great story!!!!

[@nickroeger]

From McMinnville TN, love all the video's story time with clay is awesome keep them coming

[@bradley-eblesisor]

Please, before you forget. I know you don't believe that you will, or have. Do your history and your stories in long form. If it's a book, I'm buyin' it. If it's on the tube, I'm watchin'! Thanks for all the entertainment. Highs and lows! 👍👍

[@earleholt4380]

Great video. My buddy just bought a new TCI 727 for his Duster. Looking forward to racing season too. Hitting the practice tree!

[@JamesHolland-mo7ct]

Clay - Great flashback!!

[@dirk013adfa]

Hope you are having an amazing day, Mr. Millican!

[@jerrypolk5909]

I am a 75 year old drag racer and back in the early days when I started to up my game and get away from stock parts, the first transmission upgrade was to buy a TCI convertor.

[@johnshannon0323]

Awesome story. You should have a segment every week for a story. Doesn't need to be all your story. I bet you could have a whole channel dedicated to racers and the old story.

[@benscamihorn8065]

I absolutely love getting the back story on you Clay! This seems like an interesting back story that I would like to hear more about during the down time from burning Nitro. I am also curious about how you think the competition in Top Fuel will be this season.

[@mikerawlins4199]

My neighbor in Collierville, Larry Reyes, had a little to do at TCI in Ashland, Got a lot of good parts when I was in high school with my 1979 Camaro

[@DavidTolbert-r1h]

Love the stories Clay!! TCI transmissions work really good in street rods I have driven!!! Plug away my friend!!!! Keep your foot to the floor don’t lift and 2025 season might be yours !! I hope!!

[@bobpratt8224]

Great stories man.. Love the pics

[@bolognatony8739]

You could definitely have vodeos of talking with others or nust yourself telling stories of your life and career. Always fun to look back amd enjoy some good times in life !

[@mikeyoung5823]

Clay I'm ready for 6 wallys this year go to the top and stay every body at RWR is very capable best of luck this season

[@Kim_Music_books_racing_fan]

Clay, you're a great storyteller. It's important to pass the stories down, especially so that us younger fans can learn the history and understand how drag racing got where it is today. Will you be racing at the shootout in Bradenton next month?

[@hughobrien4139]

Cool trip down memory lane!

[@mikecullers]

Love the stories Clay.

[@djzonque4770]

Goed bezig!

[@t123macful]

Liking the history sir🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@Nhra456_]

The guy who owns the devil dragster now is a friend of mine. Cale Davis

[@jamesturner677]

Cool story clay love the videos.

[@oldhomeguy8214]

A friend was at Graceland when you did the burnout. I gifted him my National Dragster with the cover being of that event

[@wattyler6075]

Season starts for me @ Santa Pod raceway here in the UK early May.

[@davebishop8683]

Awesome story!

[@keelinhooten3565]

Raymond was the best!

[@Sean-i4r]

Company pick nicks were huge for me while growing up! My grandfather worked for Simmons precision, later on Hercules, now areo space, through a darn great pig roast party with a band,ans dancing and just,at a state park on Vermont on beautiful lake Champlain, the only fresh water that flows from south to the north!! Wilson right.Good fishing too

[@vicferrarisgarage]

Can’t wait for the story.

[@CandSEvo7]

great video, love the stories ,

[@eclipsegod4g63]

man what i wouldnt give to be able to sit down with you for a few hours clay!

[@davidtornow203]

great story and STOMP ON THE LOAD PEDDLE

[@alanlocklear8564]

Love It ❤

[@kenvannorman6126]

Not Nitro related, so what. We don't follow you solely for that. While it is a large part, we all enjoy listening to your stories and home life. It makes me, at least, feel as if I'm part of the team. Keep em coming and we'll keep coming back

[@vicferrarisgarage]

You need to a 30 min video on comparing how Dalton and you got your rides!

[@tomeickhorst6787]

I’ve been watching old reruns of Pinks All Out when you were on there. You arguing with rich in some of them is funny. He really wasn’t a car guy and had no clue about cars and racing

[@RayPoole-c9l]

Morning sir I love hearing about how you made your way up to were you are now. Did you get the trans all fixed it be interesting to know how much they increased line pressure and are they feeling pressure to? I believe it’s a secondary hub thank you have a great day.

[@mikebennett9459]

I'm so glad you shared your story with c l a y I can't wait for the season to start up so we can burn some Nitro we can burn some Nitro

[@USN_Ret-]

Write a book, Clay.

[@kennethkoontz5036]

Now would be a good time to put them school bus clutches in......

[@brianholcomb6499]

I’m surprised with the material torn right off the clutches, & the rust, he didn’t mention anything about water in transmission is the definite way to kill a transmission! Clutch bonding is usually done with water soluble material 😳😳😳😳! Meaning goodbye clutches!

[@georgedreisch2662]

Kewl story. Thinkin’ what y’all’ relating here is Raymond mentoring y’all’s character, to be respected and acknowledged by others, that lead to y’all actually going places. Too many sabotage themselves, thinkin’ that talkin’ shit, acting audacious and insincerely playing a part, will fool the people that really matter, especially, the one’s that y’all don’t know how much they could matter, in y’all’s future.

[@afnDavid]

Hello to the children.

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

What do the letters TCI Stand for? I Think I know, but you never mentioned it in the video.

[@dennisjensen7938]

I love story time

[@thomaspaine5091]

good luck in 2025 Clay

[@scottmalpass4802]

😎💪🏁

[@donaldhaire1502]

The first time I met you you was driving the werner car

[@ronmedenwaldt]

With the area he was from is he related to the family that made cast wood burning stoves?

[@Timbo428CJ]

And the rest is history... National Champion NHRA Top Fuel Winner !!!
