      Top 5. Every track will be a new track for the car. No data. To finish 1 is asking a lot. Top 5 is more amazing for a new car than most people think.

    It's always a treat to have these discussions with Kaylynn about the clutch workings on your videos. She's not just here because she's a woman... she knows her craft, well! Diversity is such a wonderful thing when it is organic and not forced!!

    • @i-_-am-_-g1467
      @i-_-am-_-g1467 Před rokem +6

      She's awesome and is always elbow deep in engine stuff, she's exactly the type of gal that the left in your country is scared of, or scared to admit exists.

    • @danoc51
      @danoc51 Před rokem +4

      I remember when this new crew came on. They've certainly matured. Kaylynn is a great spokesperson for the team and drag racing. I hope she gets more public and wider recognition and exposure in promoting my lifetime favorite sport.

    Could you talk about about the sensors. What you are measuring and how that data is used. Also how much an advantage do multi car teams have with all the data they collection.

  • @texxasal
    @texxasal Před rokem +1

    For a "car" without either a battery, alternator, starter, radio/stereo, and without a "water system" (radiator, water pump, etc.) there's a mass of "plumbing" and "wiring". All of which is designed to last a maximum of 4 minutes (Start up to shut down). Amazing.

  • @ronspencer6668
    @ronspencer6668 Před rokem +4

    Good to know the changes, thanks for bringing us all up to speed. You obviously know that this "extended team" needs to know these things and that we care. You must be excited! Cheers dude.

    Well Happy Belated Birthday, Clay. The insight on the clutch discs was nothing short of a wealth of information so thank you for asking those questions of Kaylynn. She's SHARP and knows her metallurgy & a true asset to the team. You've got great people on the team and you're well on your way to some big W's this year. As always, thanks for sharing and we're looking forward to the next video. Cheers!

    This is SO INTERESTING seeing some of the construction and adjustments (driver compartment) of the car. Discussion of the clutch discs and their heat-treated hardness is wonderful.
    I think it would be great for young people if you could have the various people who work on the car talk about their education or how they got the experience or training needed to get their jobs working for a Top Fuel team.
    Clay, thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos. Absolutely fantastic. (Subscriber)

    The level of fabricators in the Mooresville area is bananas. Hell thats where all my tig cups come from, Furick. Hopefully the move to a single company making all the NASCAR chassis didnt cause a huge talent drain from that area. Would be SUPER interested in seeing the hoses and electrical connectors you guys run on the topfuel stuff.

    • @jeffsligh9818
      @jeffsligh9818 Před rokem

      One of the reasons that I am in North Carolina in Concord, which is right outside of Mooresville, is because of the Motorsports involvement. Yes, being a hard core Draqg Racer can be rough in NASCAR land, but the technology sharing available is great! So glad to have more NHRA teams in the area! Got lucky and had Tasca right across the street when they were in Concord! Lots of fun the couple of times they brought the car outside and test fired it! Shook the whole area and that wonderful sound!

  • @notyou9688
    @notyou9688 Před rokem

    Clay, Im new to your channel and so happy i found you. I live in Bakersfield, Ca. and maybe you have heard of us. When i was a kid the March Meets were a pretty big deal as far as drag racing and my Dad and i never missed it. I got to watch the Mongoose and the Snake go at it along with big Daddy Don Garlets. Shirley Muldowney. Anyways sorry Im just rambling on. But Im excited that I found you and im learning so much watching you. Its so cool getting this insider perspective. Your a great guy. I love your positive attitude. You can tell you love doing what your doing. Ill be rooting for you this season and hope to come to a few races to watch you in person. Thank you for doing this. I will tell my friends about you as well. Thanks again. Drive Fast and Take Chances. but be safe .
    Sincerely Steve
