Trying To Survive Drag Week, When Will It End? Our Lead Is Almost Nothing

[@tomsmith897]

I applaud Steve's efforts to combat trolls. One day, he will learn he is fighting a losing battle.

[@barath4545]

No no, Steve is educating the masses on what it takes to have a 5 sec car that can run at-will high 6's for safety.

[@rad87gn]

Trolls can have fun IF Steve was ever wrong. LOL! But he isn't. Win-Win for Steve. No mistakes for knowledge. AND they probably aren't building 1,000-4,500+ HP engines either.

[@georgedreisch2662]

Don’t confuse trolls with gremlins, as Steve is dealing with both.

[@rad87gn]

@@georgedreisch2662 Steve is such a talented and amazing person. Trolls and Gremlins got nothing on him as "we, the other" smart ones know. :) It's fun to watch the special people fall all over themselves. I'm sure you would agree! What Steve is doing is PURE science and engineering. His math and science is correct! Hard to battle realism! Steve lives and thrives on realism!

[@TheBrokenLife]

Steve genuinely seems like a nice guy that is just trying to let people know what is actually going on. A lot of guys wouldn't make the effort to try. I applaud him. 👏👍

[@Peteblz1]

I love those Swedish guys. They seem just as nice as you and Steve. Thanks for doing this content it's absolutely fantastic.

[@kristinewilson5353]

They r fast as hell too

[@ralmslb]

30:09 disappointing who? As a viewer, it has been impressive the persistence and commitment. Thank you for sharing it with us! We believe! You got this.

[@axelillopr]

@@bigboreracing356 arent' they still 1st overall?

[@larrybraden6640]

Everybody getting plagued by gremlins this week but I will say this; Steve Morris in my opinion is the best engine builder out there. I would literally give anything to have one of his engines. The man's knowledge is second to none.

[@peaceeagle1618]

For crying out loud Tom! You disappoint us! No way brother, you and Steve have given me the most enjoyable drag and drive event I've ever seen. And I try to see them all. You and Steve are Heroes! Thanks for all you and Steve provide on your programs. Get Sick the Mag, it Rocks!!

[@1981Ryguy]

Steve you need to ignore the nonsense trolls. The real people here watching that matter understand the game. Best of luck

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

I have slowly fallen in love with that little S-10.

[@sickthemag]

That truck is bad to the bone, those guys are awesome.

[@rad87gn]

1 Nano Second faster is the WIN!!! Guys in your class are working as hard!!! If you can all finish you will all win!! That truck is sooooooo fast!! And they flew here to do the event!!!! I'm very proud of not only you and Steve but your competition!! They are working hard and some traveled to be there!!!! AMAZING hard work and good luck to you ALL!! You and Steve NEVER gave up!!! EVER!!!! That is incredible.

[@Ridinfixinman]

Yes, everyone is bringing the heat! Awesome to see so many international competitors too!

[@colinbrassington3192]

The access you guys are giving us to the week is simply amazing, thank you! If I turn up volume, and the heat in my lounge room, the only thing missing is the sunburn..!

[@JustTex]

These videos are brilliant, if you just looked at the times everyone is doing you would never know what a battle it is to do them. These vids really show us how it is possible. So good to see everyone helping everyone too. Cheers 4 sharing.

[@29alpinestar]

It's actually really nice to see what it really takes to be at the top of your game. Thank you for the honest struggles

[@sickthemag]

no worries

[@walasiewicz]

Dam what a great video i LOVE how you guys talk to everyone then show their pass then their reaction to their pass. Covers every aspect. Steve your a true gearhead bro and EXTREMELY intelligent, id love to have a cpl beers with ya

[@cjhott]

Awesome to see Motion Raceworks coming in clutch with their amazing customer service. Top notch guys!

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting all the unedited content video's on your channel

[@baggle8203]

hang in there. you are exemplifying what drag week is about. you’re working through all the unforeseen issues and that’s more impressive than having your car work without you doing anything

[@vehdynam]

You have really shown the the trials and tribulations people go through to complete these events. It is so much more than just racing. Thank you for the excellent videos.

[@kaedyncopper12]

Its easy 2 get thrown off your game when U guys have had so many issues to deal with this week and lack of sleep. Haven't had a trouble free day this week. Props to U guys 4 sticking to it and grinding threw it.

[@walasiewicz]

That s10 is a beast and a handful! You would never guess that kid would be such a fearless, aggressive driver when you listen to him talk

[@chevyrider0610]

Love seeing Steve explain that even with the best built engine, parts fail and can wreck the whole thing. Running anything with 3000 hp is no easy task, hats off to Steve and Tom!

[@Hippoyeetomus]

You guys are no joke, keep pushing through today and get that 5 second pass! It’s going to be worth it

[@jengel451]

been having a shitshow week at work. Just to lift myself up I've been sure to watch every morning this week to make myself feel better. ;) I feel for you guys.

[@MrJermbob]

@@bigboreracing356 Hahaha legit. I feel like that the troubles make the story even better.

[@jengel451]

@@bigboreracing356 very very true....

[@Bobracing1017]

You never disappoint love that you guys aren't giving up and battling. I do like the detail as well sorta living vicariously through you but well rested. Best of luck the rest of the way keep the content coming, loving it.

[@amplifex4134]

Lifting at the 1/8th, running 6.80s.... after drag n driving all that distance, pulling a trailer.... Everyone take a minute to stand in awe of Tom n Steve!

[@mrmiscast]

I wanted to make a point of thanking you guys for covering Drag Week for those of us who can't watch all day this year...Looks like Tom and Steve at last got some sleep.....

[@ritchschut1997]

you didn't disappoint anyone Tom! From where I sit, you guys are finally getting the car back on pace. Just have to finish finding the worn or damaged parts and you will be ripping it up soon enough.

[@timtompkins150]

Obviously I'm here and loving the racing but the details about the trailer disaster and the resolution made it seem like I'm part of the team. Thank you very much!

[@timtompkins150]

Okay now, what do I need to do?

[@davidmhale521]

The comments get Steve going. Guys let Steve do his thing. When you build your own engines then do it how you think s best. I don’t see any of those with their criticism building high dollar ugh horsepower engines. Steve is amazing at what he does and knows what he’s doing .

[@mikescherrer4923]

Seriously, I feel bad for him, having this kind of week and then having to read what a bunch of Forza players think should be doing when they have no clue, despite 100% of their drag racing experience coming from watching people like Steve do it...

[@troyhabeger696]

Love your content! Sorry this week hasn’t been better but y’all are awesome for keeping it going. Thank you! 👍

[@staggerinstanton56]

No matter what the outcome. Tom and Steve are the dream team. Drag and drive is a really tough gig. Even attempting a 5 second average is wild.

[@exotichandyman]

With 1320 out, this is the best Drag Week coverage we have. Thanks guys!

[@pewpewpew8390]

agreeed, but why are they out ? what happend?

[@jkbaker01]

@@pewpewpew8390 curious too

[@MrJermbob]

wottt happened to 1320 ? holiday season ?

[@exotichandyman]

I haven’t seen them mention it. Poor decision making on their part.

[@bobroberts2371]

Probably out because there are not enough unsafe Mustangs getting torn in half after hitting a jersey barrier , guard rail , score board pole at some hoopy track.

[@josh22886]

This was the first D&D I was able to go and watch in person, you say it was disappointing for the time slips but the beauty of Drag & Drive is the road and the survival. And you did it with kindness, grace and plenty of content! Thank you Tom, Steve and the entire Sick Team. Side note I finally had my first Sick Ice Cream Sandwich! Thank you

[@steeveomcjameson8673]

Between the Breakdowns, trials & tribulations of the car and Steve fighting off the trolls and Tom pullin the shoots @ the 1/8th I liked all of it!!

[@every-istand-ophobe6320]

I get some people are just "nice" in front of the camera. But Tom and Steve are just legit good guys. Always helping out and only seem a tiny bit frustrated when 99% of us would have been throwing our tools through the windshield. Keep it up! It's appreciated

[@mountainsgarage]

Your driving, despite all the issues, is as consistent as it gets. Like a duck, smooth on the surface, paddling like hell underneath! Time to haul today!

[@riverdragonmarineservice441]

❤️ Alex. Hope the car does her better today

No need to apologize Tom it's really entertaining following your channel. I'm sure more 5's will be coming soon.

Excellent DW coverage, can't wait for the next one. As a guy with a 12 second mustang with its host of annoyances, it's nice to see the big dogs have to deal with the everyday bullshit that also affects normal cars.

If you need a throttle cable, use steel fishing line. All you need are loop crimps to attach the line to the ends.

The video coverage that these events is fantastic. Though like all events the main focus is on the big guys they show lots and lots of the slower cars with the names we don't know. I bet those drivers really like seeing their own cars on video especially on a channel like this. 1320 rocks.

Wow! What an exhausting trip. But at least you're drag racing rather than being in the construction equipment rental business from 7am-4pm... I wish I had just a street car. But I've taken care of my parents for about a year without working and went thru my savings rather quickly. I just want something I can daily and take to the track for fun. Easy to please I just wanna drive! Keep plugging away, sir.. I think you've got this. Drive that thing and keep it straight!!! Rock n' Roll!!!

Alex I had a similar situation happening in our car I do a burnout would be fine I'd get on the trans break you let off the trans brake and all the sudden it would just fall on its face Scott Taylor went through and looked at my high RPM safety and it was at like 4,500 RPM and we had no idea how it got switched but it did check it out not for sure what system you're running though we had the grid system
