Congrats on going over 100K subs, Clay!!!! So well deserved!!! I subbed when you were below 10K and I'm so happy to see all the appreciation that's followed you since then!

[@quickdeuce]

Hear, hear to that! A huge shout out to Clay and his fans for helping him go OVER 100K SUBS! 200K is already on the horizon!

[@lorrainewilson7695]

Alan hit it right out of the ball park. Congratulations Clay, 100,000 subscribers and more to come, well done you’ve got a great channel that deserves the success.

[@christophersanders5007]

One reason I like your KZbin channel is that you, and your sister, give race day updates faster than NHRA does. NHRA takes forever to put together any kind of race day reports.

[@chriswebb3183]

That’s not nice Clay is a beast and loves you even though you only watch for faster updates! We love you Clay keep stomping that loud pedal!

[@jeffmccormick5648]

He said one reason not the only reason

[@dmh54321]

I really love this channel. It provides the behind the scenes that we rarely see. Congrats on the 100K. Go kick butt and take names!

[@ToolFan68]

I was of the opinion that there should be a return to the quarter mile UNTIL I saw your last 2 videos on the subject. I learned that I didn’t have a clue and that there are many factors that I had not considered. Not that my opinion means a damn thing, but the point is that your videos are informative and changing the minds of fans like me. Thanks for all you do and congratulations on the 100k subscribers!

[@DeeCook-ir2ny]

Congrats on 100k. Well done. You've done a lot for your racing and I hope that the NHRA appreciates what you done for the casual fan that becomes more of a fan because of your efforts. And WELL DONE is the way to do it...

[@jerry36852]

I agree 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@tripprogers4814]

The well done club.. end cut prime rib.

[@Danstaafl]

Y'all are nuts. 'If it bleeds it leads'. You burn all the flavor and nutrients out.. blea on the burned meat thing imho..

[@TioDave]

I think 100k subs is nothing for a personality like Clay's. Thanks for sharing with us and congrats!

[@TheRange7]

I 100% agree, what a cool, down to earth, and nice guy. This channel needs a million. i just sub'd myself after stumbling upon the channel. Clay's personality and his attitude, humility, and class are much needed in racing these days.

[@Mohawk21-oi1ni]

CLAY, I GREW UP IN ARIZONA! OUR HOTTEST DAY WAS 127°IN THE SHADE ..... ONE THING I LEARNED WHILE I WAS THERE IS .... ." THE MORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HEAT, THE HOTTER IT GETS!!!!!" I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HOT IT IS INSIDE THAT FLAMING CAR!

[@robertlantz2206]

Actually I I lived in Lake Havasu in '94 in June it set a state record at 128° official.

[@tripprogers4814]

Dear Mr. Millican, I can’t tell you what it means to be an early subscriber to this channel and what an impact it has made on my life. I have learned so much about this sport, and I used to think that I knew a lot! 100k is a goal now met.. are you ready for 250k? Super happy for you brother.

[@briancowdrill4840]

Congrats Clay. Thank You for all the entertainment. Everyone say a prayer for John Force and his family and race teams.

[@murrayadam8576]

Lets be honest 75,000 were subscriptions were really about the "Mystery Mirror"! LoL. Clay so very well done, you are one classy upbeat entertaining guy, 100,021 CONGRATULATIONS. Good luck today, keep as cool as you can. Thanks for all you do for us 1000' fans!!!!!

[@bobbyborba6460]

Congratulations Clay!!!!!!!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Big congrats on 100k! Definitely deserved! Great qualifying rounds, excited to see where this goes.

[@badbilly1083]

Congrats on 100K! I came on board at around 18K with the Cletus colab in Bradenton pre season race.

[@earlalford7694]

Congrats on 1 thousand come on1 million

[@robertjohnson4784]

Hey clay congratulations on the 100K subscribers been here before 5,000 LOL. I was at Gainesville when Kenny broke 300 mph during qualifying I will forget it. Also it's not about the speed it's trying to slow down the dragster some of these tracks don't have enough room to slow the car down it's safer to stay at the 1000.

[@Cliffswanson]

Congrats on 100K subs, Clay! I'm happy to be among the crowd. And thanks for having Alan Reinhart on to weigh in on the 1000' vs 1320' issue. Alan nailed it accurately and rationally IMO and the safety issue is huge. We've got exciting drag racing at 1000' with no good reason for changing back for the fuel cars.

[@leemorgan9527]

Congratulations on 100k! And I have to say that your videos are getting better and better, I love all the angles on the car. The team just keeps getting better all the time, you can tell they love their jobs just working and getting it done and no complaining about the heat. Good job guys.

[@Bill-A-DFW]

WELL DONE? Are you kidding me - Come on Clay - Steaks are best at medium rare!! or medium!! But since you are such a nice person....I'll let it slide (This time)🤣🤣

[@bobaque70]

Wonder if he eats steak with Ketchup as well?

[@Derf1313]

Had a neighbor when I was a kid, if you asked for well done he gave you a burger, he said there's no wasting good meat on ya... Lol, but that was the early 70's...

[@kennyking3255]

@@Derf1313 Man I’ll eat a burger what I call medium well with just a little pink in the middle. 😋

[@gardnervicki]

I was one of your first 100 viewers and it’s been great watching you and your videos! You rock clay

[@onthelake9554]

100K ! Channel has the quality and feel of a channel with 4 million so watch it take off exponentially from here . My favorite channel hand down . Thanks Clay and family .

[@CDhn455]

Thanks for the follow up with Alan. I appreciate his opinion. Congrats on 100k!

[@nashguy207]

Congrats on reaching 100k subs. Show us that silver play button when you get it. You are awesome Clay. I can't thank you enough for sharing all you share with us!

[@dalehannon4922]

Alan Rienhart is a very good explainer on the situation of 1/8th and 1/4 mile racing and the dangers of to much track at too much speed!!

[@hvacguy3512]

Just left the race after the first round! Hoping John Force is alright. Loved seeing you chatting with some fans after your run. I’ll have to try and chat with you in Concord!

[@richardweihert6233]

Fun to see the progression of your channel, seems like even the "kids" are enjoying it more and more. Congrats on the 100k + !!!!!

[@RattlerPerformanceWorks]

Alan is a super cool dude that speaks simple for everyone to understand and to the point

[@PFIBrent]

So excited for you brother 100k!!! Wow!!

[@mhendricks7253]

Congratulations on the 100k mark. Just goes to show you that what you do fans love what you do. Keep them coming and I keep watching them. Remember that you are the man.

[@lance4217]

Alan Straight Drop’n Knowledge on that Question, nice Work, and congrats on 100K you deserve it Clay no Doubt🏁🏁

[@patrickhaeg920]

Alan, Great way to look at it! Keep it the way it is.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

You're a good dude, Clay! Congrats on the 100k. Can't wait to see your plaque!

[@sonnypleasantone]

I ❤ Top Fuel Racing . Thank you for all you do. Now let's go!

[@hankweultjes2739]

Congrats on your 100k. Well deserved. Thanks for sharing and informing so much. I have learned a lot from your videos. You are a God send to this sport.

[@bobbennett4288]

Your the best clay at getting us right into the car with u. Showing us exactly what it feels smells and looks like being a top fuel driver. Thank u so much. Forever a fan. From Canada. FYI

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Hope today is much better for the team 😊 STOMP THAT LOUD PEDAL BROTHER AND GET A W !! And congrats on 100k 😊

[@jerrycoon3369]

Congrats on 100K! I agree with Alan R. on the quarter mile debate. I used to be mad about it along with the other people but I also see that the shutdown areas are just not long enough anymore and to me that is a huge deal. If you ever stand at the finish line when they go by, it's scary fast. As you obviously know. I have tried to think of ways to bring the cost down in the fuel classes for years but the only thing I could come up with is to go back to off the shelf parts like blowers and heads. The price you guys pay for blowers and heads and billet blocks just blows my mind but I hate to see short qualifying fields of less than 16 cars. I think at the end of the day it comes down to money. Good luck today!

[@ni_wink84]

When I used to BMX race a few years ago, I finally stopped racing in competition at 38, my son and I raced in Tucson AZ in August, and thankfully the event was indoor, but just going from the venue to the staging area was absolutely brutal with gear on, 117 deg helmet, pants, jersey pads etc not to mention being dressed like you guys are on ASPHALT! Waiting in line to race… sheesh!!! At least we got 15 min or so of mild AC before we raced you guys are out here showing out for the crowd dressed like you’re going to the North Pole!! Thank you clay and all the teams for going out and bearing the elements to give us all an amazing show, my respect to all the people out there just for us fans to enjoy it!

[@Holywood864]

Glad I stumbled on this channel, followed Clay during his career and I gotta say Clay seems like a down to earth humble guy “ my kinda guy “ 👍🏻 just subscribed

[@ajbennion1]

Alan is a stud!! Definitely the best answer ever

[@Nareimooncatt]

Congrats on the 100k! Also, your reflection off your helmet visor on that last run made for a pretty sweet visual.

[@jesseallinger9179]

That is so cool that you give the behind the seen commentating Clay, from the seat etc. I really enjoy this and I'll see you in Seattle. Jesse Allinger from Ferndale,WA

[@jeffmiller6100]

Love the team chemistry ❤ Thanks for the Update!

[@jaxmahoney5328]

Ill be out in Vegas for sema and Im coming early just to see the races. Each one of your videos gets me more and more excited to see this stuff happen in person for the first time!!!

[@paulbaluch439]

Outstanding video clay with all you got going on you still find time to share with us thanks for all you do PS Allen got it right in my book😎🍕🍻🇺🇸👍🏁

[@paulkirchen3248]

Congrats on the hundred thousand you have earned it with your content in the amount that you do for this channel and for us fans

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Thanks for bringing me along !

[@chrisgibson6960]

Congrats on 100k. With the track temps that high it has to suck trying to get traction. Stay safe brother. 👍

[@TheRange7]

I've never been a huge drag race fan. I stumbled across this channel and Clay is such a down to earth good guy, I'm subbing and becoming a fan for sure. It's so refreshing to see humility and class on display like it used to be in racing. Keep it up Clay and drive safe. Also, I agree, 1/8 mile is all you need. Anything more is too much on every level. Danger to drivers and fans, gobs of blown up engines, and speeds that belong of the salt flats. that's my opinion. I 100% agree with announcer @ nhra Cheers all

[@bobmck1626]

Love the plug on the old school racing. Much love.

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

Cool video Clay thanks for sharing and I hope you win this event good luck buddy ✌🏻😎

[@captaincouldverc]

Here's my opinion on the whole "1/4 mile" fiasco: He's right, but to further his point, safety hasn't caught up to the point their ET's have progressed. They're still using some safety rules that were designed for 250-300mph and created in the 90s. Fact is, before we make these boys and girls go faster, it's critical we ensure their safety at them kinda speeds.

[@jerry36852]

Safety is paramount especially the speed of the those cars go. 👍😱😱

[@kwhite145]

Send Tony packin!

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks Clay 😊

[@xantrilla]

congrats on 100k! love the videos my man!!

[@mikeinflorida219]

Way to go Clay!!! 🎉 100k

[@bobmack2827]

I loved the vid asking the question 1/4 mile to 100 ft. and Alans answer. Top draw both of you. I've been to quite a few NHRA events in the USA, using both distances. Absolutely leave it at it is. We have sort of top fuel, in the uk, but it's nothing like the 11000 bhp cars you have and the fans would be very disappointed if you took the power away. Bob

[@bobbolieu9013]

Congratulations on reaching a great milestone! You all are awesome!!!

[@michaeltuckerman6983]

100,000? You should be 100 million you've got the greatest attitude in all of NHRA

[@casiemorgan2215]

100K.......CONGRATULATIONS BUDDY!!

[@jedburns919]

Congratulations on the 100 thousand. It always amazes me how your guys tear that engine down and put it back together in that short amount of time.

[@vehdynam]

Congratulations on the 100 k subscribers, you deserve it. Great video. Good luck today.

[@Buffy_Miyagi]

Great content as always Clay, top work!

[@jedburns919]

And congratulations on busting 101k followers wide open only to continue to grow. 👍🏻

[@garylucier6817]

Alan R. Said it all! We the class racers will keep the traditionalists happy and continue to run the quarter mile, if you can just figure out how to keep them in the stands watching the moving car show.

[@KenH-wq8jk]

❤ appreciate your family and your team and your videos from you and your sister just makes my whole life more fun

[@jimmyjohnson2827]

Love this guy lol my favourite part of the week is now watching clay

[@philsheridan6759]

So nice to see 100k content deserved it long ago. Was always like how does he have such few subscribers. Thanks for another great video

[@markjordan1530]

Congrats from the UK on the 100k! (101 k now!!). It was great to see the IHRA bit. Back then I followed your success in that series when there was no way of getting NHRA coverage in the UK and I've been a fan ever since. Top Fuel has sadly pretty much died out in the UK since the pandemic with only 3 cars competing this year so I can't wait to get back over to Pomona and cheer you guys on in November.

[@williambutler3269]

Means 100,000 people love man!😎

[@Gnomie_G]

I am in Virginia watching you, and I brought my brother to his first ever top fuel event. After seeing the cars and showing him your KZbin channel, you are his favorite. Let’s get it on race day!

[@bobbyagee3796]

My favorite channel. Clay Jim and crew y'all make me want to get a CDL so could possibly be on the team. Enjoy every second

[@stephenschulte8569]

I like the different view of the warm up from behind give another perspective

[@keepnitredneck5578]

I was at that race today and I met Clay Millican awesome guy always has a smile on his face and I brought one of the shirts today on that shirt. I am proud that the proceeds go to animal rescue I should tan my appreciate the fact that it’s going for a good cause

[@boon197999]

I convinced a well done guy to eat a medium rare steak.. he’s never went back… i guess the bright side of eating well done, you can always grab some beef jerky and relive the experience

[@brianwelshan8753]

I’m grateful that I am one of your 100k subscribers I’m also a Tennessee boy and proud of the way you represent us and our state

[@melissahumphrey9488]

I got to meet you on Saturday I was the one wearing the yellow Boston Red Sox shirt I was so starstruck when I met you you’re truly a great guy. My boyfriend started showing me ur races and I was hooked

[@paulmartin8212]

Great answer, Alan.

[@scottyeo6417]

Congratulation on 100,000 Viewers Clay. And I'm really digging the Throw back Runs. Post some more if you have some.
