    Next stop, Pep Boys Nationals in Reading PA!!! Been eyeing the 10 day forecast the past 2 days and its showing highs in the low 70's with dew point temps in the mid 50's. So should be some great weather for some record breaking passes in all classes. Bad thing is that there is a chance of rain on Friday. But it's a long way out and anything can change. Got my tickets for Friday night Qualies and Sunday Eliminations.

    Ahh, Herb McCandless, what a great Pro Stock Shoe!! Such an era in drag racing, the 60's and 70's. Even this old harness mule ran an /MP car out in the northwest, '70-'71.
    It's great to see you get to where you are, now, too. It's a hard road to the Top Fuel top ranks. Thanks, Clay.

    Clay, the funny part about My Place hotels are that they are/were partly owned by C.L. Werner , who use to sponsor your car. Talk about a small world. The first My Place hotel was built near Omaha, NE which is the headquarters for Werner.

  • @PoBoysDiesel
    @PoBoysDiesel Před 11 měsíci +3

    Blessing from Kissimmee FL Clay. I was wondering do you all sell your used and spent tires? Im trying to locate a set of 36" for mock up purposes to build my very first chassis for a Diesel Pro Mod and well buying a new set is probably not my best option for mock up as I know it will take me quite some time before I can complete the project and the tires will likely expire or dry rot before I get a chance to even do the first start up. Well I know your time is precious but either way many blessings to you the team and your loved ones from Kissimmee Florida

  • @quickdeuce
    @quickdeuce Před 11 měsíci +1

    Gotta say since BIG Jim O and Bruce have moved into the FIRST chair in the pits Clay has had a better hotrod. A ton of the good news is of course the deep, deep pockets of Rick Ware Racing. The guys struggled a ton in this race but they're not the only team to have trouble finding that ever elusive part of drag racing called "TRACTION". Power is not an issue,, getting those huge rears to adhere to the asphalt,, there in lies the challenge.

    Seeing Mr. four-speed brought a smile to my face from when I was a young man but …when you turned the camera forward in the tow vehicle, and I saw Doug Stringer that brought a tear to this old man’s eyes. I still love Doug and what he did for all those years with you and it’s good to see him back and still smiling

  • @dmeemd7787
    @dmeemd7787 Před 11 měsíci +7

    That’s really really cool!! I will be honest, I didn’t know they still did the letterman jacket thing for an event with him, that’s super super awesome!
    What was also very cool was that epic qualifying pass, I’ll leave it at that for those who haven’t watched the race or this video :-)
    ..still have all the races left in the countdown, and you guys have a team that is far beyond phenomenal!!!

    I was there Saturday and got one of your awesome shirts. It's a great color and has a sweet depiction of the dragster launching. It's an instant classic, and I'll wear it with pride. Btw, that door makes all the difference. Thanks from a fan who has listened to too many loud noises in my life. The sweetest of those being a nitro engine grunting down the track.👍👍

    Really awesome video again Clay 🤘 I remember watching your big “I.H.R.A.” Championship in Canada at “Grand Bend Dragway” which is an awesome drag strip to attend & with the Grand Bend beach on the big lake just down the road a.k.a. “The Strip” with bars/restaurants on both sides of the strip & all the way down until it hits the big beach/lake 🤙

    • @sudsysutherland359
      @sudsysutherland359 Před 11 měsíci +1

      I forgot to mention that when you were racing at “Grand Bend Dragway” during your I.H.R.A. days & you would walk amongst the camping ground just chatting with people & signing autographs etc. It was so cool of you to do Clay & I’m sure it gained you more fans! 😃

    I know a guy who TAD at the US Nationals 20 something years ago..... I'm pretty sure it was the only NHRA national event he ever won. His NHRA "TAD Winner" Letterman jacket from that race is one of his life-long prize possessions. I haven't seen him in many years but I'm sure he still wears that jacket from time to time.

    Such a wonderful team to follow and support so thank you for bringing us along this amazing adventure, Clay. Rick is a terrific human being with a gracious soul that has faith in the entire team and it shows with TWO Wallys so far and we know there will be more this year. Gotta say, the RWR Summit / Parts Plus / Biohaven / Valvoline car is the prettiest car in all of NHRA Top Fuel.
    It was also neat to see the Duster throwback from our youth--how time flies and that definitely brought back some memories. That was a special treat for sure but being honest, the Iggy & Milli doggo show at both the beginning and the end of the video was epic! Cheers!

When I was 8 years old I started go kart racing my number was 2 it was just me and my dad just the 2 of us. Later in life I got a late model #2 was taking so I put my dad's number first 5 my go kart number second 2 and got 52. Later in life my daughter was born May 2,1996. 5/2/96. So 52 is my number.

    So, dumb question you probably don't have time to answer, but I went to the site you got the intro music from last month and after digging around I finally found the background guitar riff, but the voice-over I could not find. (Come on, Yeah!). Have to say it is such a GREAT intro sound. Did you customize and blend two tracks together, or did I just miss that track? BTW, so many great free and pay soundtracks at that site. Can't remember the link now I forgot.
