We Finished Sick Week! 7 Transmissions Later… Plans for the Wagon

[@sparkyofsocal]

I hope Val gets to come out and play more than once a year. Her smile and attitude were enjoyable. Maybe so Sugar Momma merchandise could be added to help pay for Steve’s repairs

[@ravenron1]

Yes hope to more of Val.

Super proud of Steve and Kyle, For focusing on Val’s car. Instead of their own race cars!! I’m not a corvette fan, but my wife is. Her C3 is her baby. And I often work on her car, instead of my big block ford. 26 years married to a great woman, some times she’s more important. Great job guys!!!

It was great to see the whole family out and having a good time even though you had several problems. Val did a good job driving. Kyle is one hell of a good mechanic. And Steve, well, Steve is the guy that can't keep a transmission in anything he owns. Seriously, it is great to watch a family show on drag racing. You all impressed me. You can see the love between everyone.

[@mayhem035]

Thanks to all the Morris family and super Clark! Was super cool to see Val race! Super fun sick week to view! Hope you do it again! 👌🤟✌️👊♥️

[@crazyrat51]

2010 we were running an A/Fuel dragster, IHRA at a National event. One pass the car went into VERY VIOLENT tire nshake, broke the tops off 2 Big Pro mags, broke the intake carbon fiber scoop and knock off a bunch of other stuff!!! It was QUITE impressive. Driver said he couldn't feel it.... Had to check EVERY weld on the car for cracks, none found by a visual. Do love the videos, keep 'em coming! Thank You!

[@briancox2721]

Still consider putting a firewall over the transmission in the wagon. If something happens again, keeping the trans fluid away from the driver is another level of safety so you don't have to rely on the nomex keeping you from frying.

[@thepunisher3810]

Why He doesn’t seem to care much about safety when he don’t even check his own car over between runs because it was “good” the run before

With Drag Week this year being pretty local to you all, I am hoping to see you at 131 and Milan. The other tracks being National Trail, and Indy. Sugar Momma and Boostmaster would be stars, as they should be. My fiancee loves that Val is now in the mix. Val has the disposition, just like Kyle and Steve. A true racing family. Even with all the issues you have had, one never stops learning things. I am a clinical engineering specialist for a large Detroit health care system, and I have been learning for 20 years. Be safe, and a family that plays together stays together.

No Kevin doesn’t have auto chutes, listening to his narratives

[@jkfonyi]

You guys don’t get it . Any driver worth his salt is taught to pull chute as soon as it gets out of shape . And that chute is only thing that saved car with that much water under tires . That wasn’t spectacular driving . It was doing the first thing your taught and getting incredibly lucky . 8 out of 10 times he piles that into wall or the vette . In fact over correcting and almost hitting vette was a bad driving move . He refuses to put top fuel hoops or orings in and blows head gaskets every 5 passes . His bad decisions almost cost another guy his car .

[@Metalcrafter]

Val did a great job, but you need to move the parachute lever so she can find it easier. The attitude your whole family possesses during tough times was inspiring.

All of you can be proud for finishing the week. Steve thanks for mentioning the tight trans cooler line in the wagon, we all know what not to do now. I am not the Safety Guy but I watched in horror you testing those fuel pumps. You have an open fuel cell there and the power is on and you are unplugging and plugging in the pumps, just above toe open fuel cell.. Each time you unplug or plug in one of those pump connectors there is a chance of a spark. Do not do that. It was an OMG moment, Steve is going to blow himself up!!!

[@RK57AZ]

Glad to see you guys ended the week on a high note! I’m not any kind of a drag or any other form of racing expert but, I wonder if you present your engine and run data with video clips of your cockpit movements to either a transmission builder or an old salt with a million runs under their belt to see if your trans problems are operator or trans error or a combination of errors? Also, the current Camaro SS electric factory fan may help? MOTECH uses these fans in their LS, LT 4 & 5 engine swaps in Jeep Wranglers that operate in rock crawling as well as street running conditions.These Jeeps run in 100 + degree temps and help to cool a vehicle that weighs up to and over 6,000 lbs. with tires of up to 44”’s! As always stay safe and healthy. Ron

[@djk91lx28]

I’d assume they use all those fans due to slower speeds during crawling given the lack of air running over the coolers exchangers while at speed. I also wonder what has caused the issues. Seems a handful of the big names met their match this year

[@MsRandiCook]

So glad you all are safe and such a great family event! Congratulations Sugar Momma on your restart racing career! 🎈🎈🎈All you need is Dewy there to help! Clark you are an amazing with your support! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope to make it to make it up to the shop! I learned something!
