This Wrecked Our Race Car
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 10. 2023
- Texas was an incredible event. Crazy performances in every class. For us we hurt a few engines and wrecked our race car. The upside is we were in the semifinals when that happened. We also got a visit from @flyingsparksgarage which was great. #racing #nitro #car

That shot out the side of the SUV at 4:15 is too freaking cool
Sure shows the speed!
Thank you.
Did the SUV break out? I see a new challenge for drag racing, tow car bracket racing. Also see the first for and a half minutes of the vid Niki Lauda Explains Formula One (1985)
I love how Jim O always pays respect to his competitors team, he's top notch.
That Lift-Off Pic will make a KILLER T-Shirt or Poster !!
Jim is an amazing man! He hides his competitive spirit in the most humble way. I'm so glad you shared this talk with him. Go win the last two!!
I love the way your crew chief takes ownership for his part of the job and discusses with your fans the things that go wrong and gives total respect and support for the team.
Just awesome thank you folks !!!
Jim O is just the best. I need more people like him in my life. Calm, caring, intelligent, and a great leader.
Good job Clay. That second round was ALL you. Cutting lights like a bracket racer and GOING ROUNDS. Top 5 here it comes. Congrats to you Jim O and the team
Way to go, team! Like Rick said, next year is going to be promising! Thank you Rick for bankrolling this team - we are all behind you all! Nice job on the tree and driving this week, Clay!
You know that was one of Jim’s best post race talks you know
Gotta love the genuine emotions everyone on the team has for one another. Rick is an amazing human being and understands the sport is costly but those big wins are TOTALLY worth it. You guys have great sponsors and albeit the championship seems outta reach, a couple more Wallys are certainly within reach! All the best wishes and keep at it, Clay!
I love how you just let Jim talk and didn't interrupt. Great vid!!!
Jim has a great way of putting things into perspective. The team is fortunate to have such a good dude at the helm and they show their appreciation in their attitudes and work ethic.
I love that man , Jim is one helluva Crew chief!
Love the video’s, it puts a different perspective on things. It allows fans to see the trials and tribulations of running one of these cars. I’m not aware of another professional racer/team that invites their fans into their world weekly. Thanks Clay and team, we the fans appreciate it!
Clay... As a superstitious fellow, I can't help but notice almost everyone on the team has a certain routine they go through as you roll up to the line and get staged. All the way up to JimO's double bump before you stomp on the loud pedal. Let's see a video that walks us through everybody's pre race routine!
I second this clay 😮
I also vote for this maybe a good off season video
The routines are partly so that nothing is forgotten and having the same routines means that you get better stability in the runs.
And that you get a better team mentally..
Ouch. Moving on up. Literally 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I'd watch all of that one, too.
great to go down memory lane with Jim O. Geter done
@04:00 I love her down track giggle on the drive by camera! 🏁😉.
It looks like a wild ride. It's still worthy of a limited release T-shirt of that wheelie.
You was show driving that b*tch.. It was a odd crazy weekend but like Jim O said you cant say it was a "Bad" one.. Thankful for all the people in your pit..💙💙💙
Thank you Clay we’re really enjoying your round by round reap with Jim O.. It’s easy to understand your pride and affection for your TEAM, what a great group of people you have brought together and nurtured. Credit also to Rick it is so good to see an owner enjoying you guys turning his money into scrap metal. 2023 has been amazing,, 2024 will be AWESOME.
Most of it is sponsor money, but I get the sentiment.
JimO has such a big heart, misses his friends that are lost, worries about Clay! And he and Clay would still race without each other, but it would not be as fun! ❤you guys!
So awesome hearing the team chatter. 5:17
Dear Mr. Merican, the ride with Bob (Tripp) Tasca on the back of the scooter was straight out of Dumb and Dumber, absolutely hilarious!! Love you bro!
The sit down with Jim-O.. he mentioned the business of keeping his driver safe, and follows it up with what a bad day of racing really is. That is an emotional moment for us fans.. because he's right.
And then, to revere Eddie Hill and the Nuclear Banana *Super Shops* car like you both did, it brought me back to a place as a young 23 year old FAN of the sport and a kid from Seguin Texas, that moved to Fremont California and would sneak in to Fremont Raceway just to watch Top Fuel, I absolutely melted with memories. Mr. Hill was such an inspiration, holding the 1/4 mile land AND Water speed record at the same time, something that I don't think anyone has ever done since.
Ya flying was spot on Clay .... landing was a bit awkward thou
Thanks for bringing us all world wide into your family !!!!
You are great! Thank you for letting us see what's going on in your team.
One of the best videos yet Clay and I was worried about the car when it came down hard like it did, and I was wondering if you guys were going to have to put a front half on it. I miss the between runs debriefing with Jim a little bit, but I do like this format now. Would be interesting if Jim would let you throw in a little bit of the debriefing also.
Will you be able to show us any of the work in the shop going on over the next couple of weeks before Vegas? That would be awesome to see. Y’all did great at Texas, go knock em out in Vegas!
And this is added as an edit, you sure have all the hot ladies around you at these races Clay! 😊
Hands down the funniest part was your sisters video of you hauling ass past the tow vehicle. Love your videos . Keep it going
Thank you. 💥💥
I love these debriefs you have added. It is fun to hear Jim's historical reminiscences about places and people, too. You can tell he LOVES this every bit as much as you do. It's awesome!
Really liked the radio audio after the race another great behind the scene look and listen
Thank you. I captured that by accident, but it’s my fav part. 💙
Enjoy hearing you Clay and Jim talking afterward, Thank You.
WHAT A CRAZY WEEKEND,YOU ALL HAD ! GREAT DRIVING ! ALL KINDS OF HOOKED UP ! LOVE THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE,"PRICELESS" !
Fantastic footage of an exciting weekends racing. What a great team, win together, loose together but mostly have fun together and always 'Keeping the Faith'
So love the chatting this way with Jim O. Thanks again Clay and Team. Big love form the UK
Great video. Really interesting. The conversation with Jim was the best.
4:56 GOT ME... "I was drivin this bitch" I have watched that over and over to many times 😁 Now, I can go watch the rest of the video 😀😀😀😀
I caught that by accident, but it was definitely my favorite line of the weekend. It will live on in our family for sure. 💥💥
😂😂😂
@@TraceyMillican I have watched that part over and over so many times now hahahaha PRICELESS
Man what an awesome captivating hangout !!! Wow what a weekend we had !!! Big THANKS for getting this on record for us all !!! Sure hope we get to see some of the Car rebuild !!! Those are my thoughts... 🌵🌵💀💀👍👍🌵🌵
My goodness. Emily’s niece is so big. I remember when she was just a little girl handing her aunt tools and watching her work on cars. They sure do grow up fast.
I really like the sit downs and going over the races.. and Jimbo is one awesome guy,you can just tell love he has for the team..great job this past weekend Clay.
Oh my goodness that run is another reminder of how close to the edge dragsters run every pass . I'm happy you kept it in your lane Clay. Thank you for posting all the great videos on your CZcams channel
Please tell JimO that the new format regarding the run breakdowns is so much appreciated. It’s awesome to see how you guys come together as a team and overcome adversity. My son and I have some great memories together watching you guys race. We saw you pedal to a round and we got to see you hoist up a Wally.
Clay can we get a run through all the team members and what they do on the car have been watching for the past 2 1/2 years and good to see new faces
Stay tuned ☺
Clay, these videos are getting better and better. Great stuff, and if you don't win the race, at least it's great to see the team going rounds!
Clay, seeing Jimmo doing that full on wrap up, vs the first day with the team, and I got the point from the absolute get go, that he really did not like or want the youtube camera looking at the inside scoop back then at all...Jimmy, you have done an absolute great thing allowing us the fan, and racer fans too, see the absolute inside story, the good, the bad, the really painful, and the greatest achievements in the sport of go fast loud pedal Nitro-Methane Dragster racing brother. That was the greatest interview and wrap up ever, and it is great that you have evolved to embrace us, and that camera, and let us into your soul....Ty Clay and Jimmo and the rest of the Rick Ware Parts Plus Team.....Go get em, 2 races left to finish this season on a great note. I will be there in Pomona to watch it live as I wrench and crew on a Comp. Elim. Entry.
Thank Clay for posting another awesome video !. It really was a crazy weekend with tons of happenings. I really love to listen to Jim-O 's talk with you !. Keep it coming 😄👍
Clay is the ultimate ladies man of all ages ❤
Love the Jim O talks afterwards. It helps the average joe better understand what it takes (emotions included) to run one of these hot rods. You guys are the real deal!
What a weekend!! Clay, Jim-o, the whole Parts Plus team … y’all are one of history’s best / most inspirational teams in all of team sports! Love what you do guys … See y’all in Gainesville 2024!!
One thing that turned out well for you. Your team will make it to the 2023 highlights video. Plus winning 3 Wally's so far and the love your team has for each other. It's really great. Now the next challenge. Putting a car back together. It will be your next big memories
Wow to hear the crew chief mention Blain Johnson, Scott Kalitta, and others really hits home. I was at the race that Blaine lost his life. I often wonder how good Blaine and Alan Johnson would have been through the years. Then to here him talk about Billy Meyer. What a racer he was also. Thanks for the memories guys
Love the reaction times Clay. Well done. Well done to the crew, digging deep as always.
Thanks Clay and your awesome family for this year's adventure. Rock and roll on this year's been awesome. Rick thank you.
Sure was a tough weekend in a lot of ways, but you made the most of it. You also moved up in points. Great to see Rick, and your family share a good weekend with you. 😊
The rebuild was some months ago now, it took two weeks to rebuild a car to go full on, thats incredible and says it all about the Parts for Plus Team. The old car looked like a banana I believe, so from the chasis upwards, i.e. everything had to be replaced. What an achievement by a totally professional team. God Speed Parts for Plus and Clay Millican. As a viewer I feel humbled by the excellence, thankyou :)
Glad to see you guys go rounds on a gorgeous Texas weekend in person; couldn't have had better weather. The segments with Jon Repp in the SUV and Jim O in the trailer are much appreciated.
And I agree with Tasca: can't wait to see the Ford TF/FC double up in the winners circle.
I really enjoy the Jim O talks at the end. Listening to two of the greats is awesome and something you just don't get anywhere else
Clay, this has to be one of the best fricken video's you've ever shared with us. Bloody hell mate, epic! Thank You! All of you!
Absolute love the new stuff with Jim. Intresting technical stuff. And as usual Clay is taking care of everybody around the team. Fantastic
As always Clay .... Thanks for taking us along. The addition to Jim O on your videos is awesome . Good luck getting all of the pieces put back together . Thanks again !!!
Wow ! What a week end and what a video ! You knocked out of the ball park with this one Clay. So very much appreciated , the real behind the scenes look into what it takes to operate a Top Fuel team in today's world. Outstanding , thank you.
It is awesome to hear Jim O reflect on his past memories of TMP. Clay, I am happy you are safe and the car can be fixed. I never want to hear Jim O speak your name as a previous driver.
Thanks for sharing Jim! What a TEAM!!!!
I love the amount of drag racing history both you and Jim O have. The amount of stories that could be told on both IHRA and NHRA would be incredible! 👍💥
I love this format of discussion with Clay and Jim O. Many of us who follow drag racing, or have driven race cars, or covered motorsports really get an inside view of what are in the heads of the drivers and the crew chiefs and their thought process. I think, like many others who follow drag racing on CZcams get a special look through this channel. Way to guy Clay. I love being a part of this team.
I love the in car audio please it's awesome
I love it too. That and Clay getting in the tow vehicle after a run are my reasons for riding in there. 💥💥
Clay America…Great Job!😮Beating JA! Hole shot against Mike!! Doing a big Wheelie!!! Losing only to the eventual winner!! Flying Sparks!!!! Great tales from Jim. I remember Billy kicking us out of his Pits. That’s another Story. Love Kaylynn!
Clay, thats two BIG holeshots in two consecutive events. You sir, are a steely-eye missle man! Your name is... Clay Mill-I-CAN !!!
Thank you and your team for making me a fan again! I’ve been a lifelong fan of drag racing but had gotten away from NHRA. Ever since I found your channel I have to admit I’m hooked again and can’t wait to go back to national events!
Are you gonna call this one Bent(ly) ? :-)
Good show All the best for next one
That’s a good one.
I actually really like to watch funny cars and top fuel cars do wheelies as long as the driver doesn't get hurt. Six years ago Cruz P. did the wheelie of all time and did sustain minor injuries but fortunately just minor ones. And Emily is so adorable too! You have great friends and fans. And it is always so nice when Rick shows up and stays positive even when you all are costing him a lot of money. Hope things go much better in Vegas Clay!
Tell Buddy Hull, I said hello. Best of luck to my two favorite drivers
Hey thing happen in drag racing. Had a great weekend can’t wait till the next video.
What a collaborative group Soul this Team is. A benchmark in transforming how we work as human beings. There is as much Love in the fuel tank as Nitro. Godspeed. 🏁
Very much enjoying the debriefing with Jim!
Wow! You were fractions of a tenth from things going from bad to worse! Great pedal timing and glad to just see a damaged racecar vs. a blowover. . . Yes Rick's pocketbook took a hit at this event on paper, but I saw so many things (performance, ability to get stuff replaced and the team pushing the envelope) that shows that this team is moving forward and will have an NHRA championship in the future if everyone keeps pulling the line together.
Glad you're safe and healthy, hate the costs to the team, but love seeing the progress, happiness and humanity the RICK WARE RACING, PARTS PLUS, CLAY MILLICAN TOP FUEL TEAM show us every event!
STOMP ON THAT LOUD PEDAL!!!!!
This team is blessed. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
That was a great video, after having a few issues with engines then the wheelie,the interview with Jimo was so good. He is so calm and cool about the whole weekend and thoughtful about the whole crew,he smiles laughs oh well we will go to the next race. Loved the interview . Keep the good work up everyone.👏👏👏👍👍👍😎
Seeing Jimo lighting up about Big daddy takes me back to the early 70's as a grade schooler meeting Big Daddy the Mopar man . ... how many 7 year olds can talk HEMI's with BD and can hang my father was a legend at MOPAR tunes and was the man in the NE
❤Love You Guy's (and Gal's)
Go Part's Plus, GO
Clay, thank you for sharing, you and the team/owners are Awesome!
Smash That Pedal!!!!
Great talk with JimO. The technical stuff is very interesting, as is the background and emotional attachment JimO has with that track. Keep it coming!
Clay I was hoping having your sisters there would have made you win since in the past races you did win while they were at the track and I thought it’d been the start of something cool making them come to the track every race but sadly it didn’t work out so well this weekend!!! Have a great week off and I’ll be looking forward to what mischief you get into at home this week and maybe there’s going to be a pile of parts waiting for you to get something done with them when you get home!!!????
We tried.
We love you too, clay. Just as much as you love us. LO l, you're the best and keep getting them Wally's.❤
A great fast "Clutch" ending.....from a "clutch expert!"
Love how Jim O explains it in plain terms we all can understand, Makes us feel like we, your viewers are part of the team. That to me is AWESOME! As far as the wheelie goes, great driving Clay, that could have been a lot worse. Glad you are ok, it came down hard. Your ride can be repaired or replaced, You Sir cannot. Glad to see Emily and Aaron pop in, Aaron seems to have recovered well from his health issue. Stay safe All, God Bless🙏
Great video! They just keep getting better, thanks to Clay and everyone on the team for sharing!
Whoo Hoo I made the Video... Its always good to see you Clay. Such A thrilling experience to feel and watch. The Crew rocking it. Hope for that perfect Texas air Next year. Good Luck in Vegas!!!!
Clay, you and Jim and the whole crew have nothing to be down about, all of y’all are such a class act. I have raced for many years and I know how sometimes you can get down on yourself when you have problems with parts and the car but it always comes back around. Just one round at a time!
You were on the tree 😂😂👍
A great team from the ground up! Keep up the positive attitudes!
So, this was an actual Parts Plus weekend.
Great race day summary from Jim O. Just one helluva great guy working with one helluva of a great team.
Just love the talks with Jimbo!
You're my favorite driver wish I could be there to watch you win some races good luck in everything you're doing
I love the new Jim O session it adds so much insight to what's really happening. Glad that you are Ok!
I was there you was tearing they asses up.
4:00 That is a great perspective
Again brilliant video Clay. Hard luck with the car mate. I really respect JimO and his genuine affection for you and all of the crew. I love watching this.
Great video!
Thanks to Jimmo & yourself for taking the time in the new style wrap ups.
What a great team.
Lots of repairs to do.
See you in the next one.
Whoever is in charge of Merch for the team NEEDS to release a shirt for JimO ! REALLY ❤ Much RESPECT Mr O !
Hey! Ill buy 3! GO JIMO!
Very cool behind the scenes! Thank you thank you!❤
