lets give kudos to that response truck though. roughly 6 seconds and you see them in frame hauling ass. glad to see steve safe also

[@thatslo2ss315]

“Here’s your closer” 😂😂😂 This is the greatest racing channel in all of KZbin. Steve can be having a really, really bad day and it doesn’t matter. He just keeps goin. Everyone pitches in and magic happens. Every video is a lesson in courage, perseverance,determination and teamwork. Glad you are OK Steve!!!

[@andrewforbes146]

NO ITS NOT

[@possiblyD]

I'm shocked you can race your cars without the transmission being covered. You've got extremely hot oil in the cabin with you, and as you can see in this case if there's a problem it's instantly no vision and even worse that is a fire. It's always been a question for me when I've been watching some of these on the safety component. Glad you're safe!

[@EP2JS]

How about a big round of applause 👏 for Avanced Cylinder Headsand the EMS at the track! Outstanding professionalism all around.

[@puritan7473]

Huge respect to the guys at ACH letting you use the shop and being so friendly and helpful!

[@jonathanhuman7333]

Steve is such a class act. Just went through such a scramble to repair the car then went through a harrowing crash and no cussing no blaming anyone else, taking responsibility for all of it no matter who’s fault it was. He’s an amazing example for others to follow.

[@ricksanchez3106]

Steve’s a good dude. My kids can watch him that’s allot to brag about now a days. Lol. So glad he’s ok.

Glad you are ok Mr Steve, Hats off to the response Team, Hats off to ACH and all the ACH employees!!! It’s Amazing to see Hard working Americans come together and help other Hard Working Americans in times of need. Steve it was awesome to see you take the time to walk through ACH and Show your Appreciation to them on your video. Great video!!!!

I’ll bet this was a dream encounter for the ACH boys, building an SMX with Steve Morris, really awesome of them for opening their shop to you

Anybody got any rough idea on the cost of this shop?

Man I’d love for my boss to call me and say hey “Steve Morris is on the way to the shop with his SMX, open the doors and let him in” 😂

[@mikeyd5969]

Let’s give a big shot ahht to Advanced Cylinder Head for the great hospitality . You guys really helped out and you got to make a new friend in Steve Morris . I don’t personally know him but i believe he’s one of the most genuine humans in the racing world. Thank you guys .

My question is why he's asking? It is a public place and you can legally. Showing a crash car is it going to reveal Steve Morris's super secrets!!!! Cause there are none, guy doesn't cheat.

Did he really think some random guy jumped on the track with a camera?? Didn’t he have more important things to worry about other than someone with a camera??

Let's give it up for the safety crew. It was less than 10 seconds from the flames showing up on camera to them being on site. Incredible! Glad Steve is OK, it can be fixed.

[@pdwmadness]

not to mention them yelling at what they thought was a random guy just recording on the track to, then promptly apologizing once they realized he is with Steve

[@eliotmansfield]

yes they were very quick - seen plenty of lacklustre responses in other similar situations

[@jagharingenyoutube]

And not a lot of people on the starting line blocking their way like in the no prep races

[@TXGunGeek]

The state of the engine after running without oil is a testament to how well you build engines! Sorry it ended the way it did, that really sucks with all the hard work so many people put into this. Thanks for showing all of this raw so we can learn. I built my last Small Block Chevy more decades ago than I care to admit and what you are doing is so far beyond anything we were doing then is incredible. It is also great to see that the racing community is still so awesome about helping each other. It was that way in the 80's when I was racing and is obviously still that way.

[@cyane1577]

The only thing I can think of is my days in the Air Force where for both electrical & especially hydraulic lines that see 3000psi are clamped & braced all along there length, anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet depending on the bend i.e. the shorter and/or bend of 90degress max has the greatest stress relief added. With the new tires causing multiple shacking may of been enough to cause the fitting/line to blow. This not being your first time either SO it may be time to investigate & re-engineer the transmission lines, how they are supported with a focus on the type of fittings that are being used & whether switching to a better design with raised stand offs if needed to attach the line to be relieved. Also a 2/3 Tranny shell cover added to prevent hot fluids from spraying directly on you leaving the passenger 1/3 open to allow inspection of said lines & connections. Lastly a fire extinguisher nozzle pointing directly at the tranny. Anyhoo glad you're ok.

[@davidg3944]

Good advice. I commented with less detail but a similar theme before I saw your post.

[@paulmartin8212]

Man I just love it how the car community sticks together. Hats off to ADVANCE CYLINDER HEADS for opening their shop and making guys available for you. This will be an interesting week to watch. Stay safe.

That's terrifying, but it could have been way worse. Glad all the safety equipment did its job.

[@scottjays360s.johnson2]

Those wheels were a spinning when Steve took a look at the Red format book with the assorted head layouts. The in-house program system they have can up with is certainly a valuable, time saving, money making tool that sparked Steve's interest.

[@lorintanner4186]

Steve was so overwhelmed walking through the shop talking with this man he kept looking around at all the machines and you can see the smile on his face when you put him next to someone that does the same thing that he does I think it makes him happy

[@jeffalcorn3622]

That was an awesome video, well, right up till the end. I hate it for you and your family. I still love the wagon. You'll find replacement parts. I'm sure you'll get a lot of help from your subscribers.

[@adematthewsracing]

It's the great thing about motorsport. in my series I've seen a guy work most of the night to help another fix his car. They were both the only guys who could win the championship. Even in high level series other teams will lend personnel and parts to get a competitor back out on track.

[@MiscRocketVideos]

#1: So glad you're safe and healthy. #2: Dang. #3: I don't buy merch online generally (usually only at the track), but I'm pretty sure I need a hat, hoodie, T-shirt and whatever else I can find. Sorry for the bad evening, but glad it wasn't a tragic evening. The fact that you smile the way you do when doing the outtro says a lot. Yep a smile, you got priorities in place, but pretty sure you're broken-hearted inside. You've got the coolest car in drag and drive for sure and one of the coolest in all of motorsports. Glad you're safe!

[@Slaineh]

rough one man.. Glad you are fine. Maybe time for a trans tunnel to keep that smoke / fire under the car if it happens again. Then you can see and the fire is not in the cabin with you. Stay safe brother!

Big shout out to Jimmy and all at advanced cylinder heads. Gutted to see the result of the crash Steve, but at least you're unharmed. As others have said, big shout out to the fire and rescue guys too, that was a super quick response.

I have been watching this channel for a long time and have witnesses a ton of break downs, a pile money spent, finding placing to do repairs on the road, tons of miles driven and a level of frustration at times that would make most people sell the car and hang it up. The fact that you pull together a positive attitude and “keep on truckin” through all this is pretty inspirational. I think it’s finally time to go pick up an SMX T-shirt.

[@Hoaxer51]

What a great shop and fantastic guys at Advanced Cylinder Heads, an owner that understands and goes above and beyond! He gave Steve everything and then some , of what he needed to completely repair and rebuild his engine including an extremely talented workforce. I was amazed at the amount of work they take in and turn around. Everyone seems happy and looks like they’re enjoying working there so he must be a good guy to work for. Nice find and put their number someplace handy so you can recommend them to anyone who needs some quality work done.

Trust me when I tell you that I cried when I tell you I CRIED when you hit that wall and that flash of fire went off. AND, I am a 65 year old man. The one thing that I am grateful for was to see Kyle go a seven second pass. I got a kick out of that ! 😢

[@bobroberts2371]

Looking at the vid, there might be some front suspension damage but the road wheel looks untouched. Given the rear fender was not rubbing the tire, the rear suspension is untouched. I'm hoping that in the light of day they take a look at the car and see only sheet metal damage. The real issue is the trans line coming off for a 2nd time and the lack of a trans cover that was supposed to be installed after the first line failure.

[@MrSlappo]

With him having Converter issues before I wonder is there is another issue that just hasn't been found yet...@@bobroberts2371

[@bobroberts2371]

@@MrSlappo said " With him having Converter issues before I wonder is there is another issue that just hasn't been found yet " You tube hid your comment unless I sort by newest ( putting my screen name link at the end probably did it ) I'm betting that with the solenoids, there is a combination that dead heads the pump and the pressure isn't regulated. If you are speaking of the converter heating, this was supposedly cured by moving the trans away from the engine so the converter isn't engaged into the input shaft as far allowing for more fluid flow.

For them to make room for Steve when he needed shows the power of America. All you need is some 100 mph duct tape and cardboard and you will be back in business.

Mr. Morris and family, the phrase "if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all comes to mind." 1st off, this is a great video. I have spent a lot of time in a machine shop. I was impressed with ACH. (I have access to a Newen EPOCH). I think you should buy a lottery ticket for no more damage than your engine had. 2nd, I don't remember you ever stating what oil you use. They should give you free oil for the rest of your life. I've never seen a better oil commercial in my life. :) I've spent enough time in the seat and standing on the starting line to know what tire shack can do. When I saw smoke and could still hear the engine, I was almost positive you had a trans problem. I'm more certain that you're my kind of person. I saw the look on your wife's face. I've only had to see that a few times in my life. I'm thankful for that. Best wishes to you and your family and here's to better results in the future. :)

[@redchemicalsltd2324]

Steve, thanks for sharing this.... most important thing is you, everything else you can fix yourself... no problem, just time & money.... Unbelievable fast response from the safety crew... also outstanding help from Advanced Cylinder Heads letting you use their complete facilities...(get that oil pressure shut down sorted!)...l think we all admire your positive attitude & not blaming anyone or anything else on this situation, this is what makes you a great person...👍🇬🇧.

[@WhyNot6243]

I had a similar situation in my car in 2019. Did a repair and during the run the gasket let go and I got oil under the tire at about the 1/8. I was only doing about 150-160 not 180 like you go. But oil under the tire is the worst possible scenario. I have never had a car get that out of shape that fast ever in my life. There’s basically nothing you can do but hold on and hope you don’t hit the wall. Glad to see your okay. And the cars not completely destroyed. Also it was really cool to see your passion and enthusiasm for Val getting back in the car and racing again at the beginning of the video. Hope you guys have a really great time on the rest of sick week.

[@RyTrapp0]

Good lord Steve, you packed a whole drag n drive worth of drama into a 'casual' test week! Glad to see you're OK! The car isn't in great shape - but it could also be much worse! Sure seems that the recent additions to the engine program have really taken the whole package to another level. At that power level, it's just a matter of time before something goes wrong, and having resilient parts that can be quickly and easily repaired and the extra protection for them is certainly a major benefit. Especially for the drag n drive stuff. ACH looks like a hell of a shop, I honestly don't know how they manage to do THAT much variety of work and maintain any degree of cleanliness, organization, there's shops that struggle to stay in business even just specializing on a few things. Also, Jimmy reminds me of Mike Murillo lol.

As SOON as you hear whoever yell FIRE, 3 or 4 seconds later that big ass ford fire truck went SCREAMING past!! Glad you are ok Steve!! At least you still have a freshly repaired engine for when you get it all repaired and ready to go back to the track again. And now is the perfect time to put all new hoses in the car also!!

Dam that sucked to see...glad ya ok Steve...the Wagon will be back badder then ever! I know it will! The amount of effort and the awesome turn around for the no oil pressure situation was awesome to see. So glad ya ok Steve! Mad love and respect from Western Australia 💪🇭🇲🇺🇸🤘

Glad you’re okay! Fires can be scary. Especially around carbon fiber components. The safety equipment is more important than going fast. I saw where the NHRA is going to be teching that stuff hard this year. Keep the videos coming, they’re always very informative.

Damn that was crazy how the smoke engulfed the entire cab. Good job of keeping it together, Steve. Few repairs and she'll be good as new! Props to the Emergency teams! I'm buying some merch for the repairs.

Was that smoke or was that the fire suppressant?

The car does not have a cover of the transmission so when the line blow off, the oil turned into a mist / fog.

First of all, so happy to see that you’re fine and not hurt. The car can be repaired. Hopefully one day you’ll be back and better than ever, and you can figure out why you’re having so much tire shake. Prayers for you and your family.

I do like how you recognise and support people with different skill sets. When you visit other shops its cool to see you geek out over their tools and toys.
