Clay should come out and do some races in Aus ❤
I would take the trip across the ditch from New Zealand to watch Clay race
It'd be a popular tour, do it Clay. 👍
Great idea, every race meeting would be a sellout.
Yes
you can see that happening very soon
As an Aussie who had a small part to play in track prep in the 1990’s it has been great seeing Bruce recently and now hearing Phil telling some stories from home, although they were very much sanitised for the podcast. Clay I’m sure you heard a few more that could definitely not be told on tape.
Phil’s stories of his dad Jim and and his shadow Noel Eggins brought back so many great memories. I fist met Jim and Noel when racing at Castlereagh in the 70’s at the Chesterfield (Jim’s long term sponsor) event when Noel went out of his way to help fix a problem in my altered and we kept meeting up in the years that followed.
In the 90’s I tried to return the favour by prepping the Calder and AIR tracks where Jim set many records with Bruce tuning and Noel still looking after everyone. Thanks Clay and g’day and best wishes to Bruce, Phil , Jim, Noel and the team racing the Spring Nationals at The Bend’s grand opening event in 3 weeks time. - Steve Wilson….
Clay, it was great to hear how Jim/Bruce drag racing developed down under. This was really cool. As always thanks for taking us along!
Looking forward to seeing the crew at the Bend! And yes hopefully we see you down here soon Clay!
Thank Clay for giving us a opportunity to meet another great person of drag racing.
My audio was marginal, but when he mentioned Mike Dunn, I had to comment. My home track, built circa 1965-7, is Firebird outside of Boise.
As we were returning from a trip to Cali we got fuel about 2hrs away, and while there heard on radio that there was an accident at the track. Big Jim was apparently returning to the pits via the hot lane that was near parallel at tree, then doglegged at 800ft+- as it neared the pits.
They apparently had brought the match race cars onto the strip for some reason, then decided to return via the hot lane with engine running!
Jim blipped the throttle, distorting the body, causing the throttle to hang!!!
He sped the wrong way down the hot lane and veered off the hot lane crashing through a snack stand or some such, causing people to be injured!
Crazy to hear of this while returning from vacation and at 90 miles from home!
Poor Big Jim was likely doing what the track managers approved, and instead had a horrific spectator involved accident.
I bet Mike was there, as this was in about 1975 or later, helping his dad!
Needless to say, lawsuits were filed, track managers changed procedures , no longer allowing cars to return to pits via the hot lane while under power!
Love your content, Clay! As a 68 yr old race fan, hearing Mike Dunn's name triggered that memory!
Good luck as season draws to a close!!
Clay ; that was great ! Thanks so much for that , and I hope we get to see Jim more often ( great people).
Congratulations on the win!!!🎉
Keep up the good work. Y’all earned it!
Sick. You two should race one day :)
What a hoot to hear the stories from a real true legend from Australia. Once again thanks for taking us subscribers along for the ride. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. And as always stomp on that load pedal. 👍✌️😎😁🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Congrats on your win today Clay, 3 and counting.
Thanks Clay for your interview with Phil, the Read family are dead set drag racing royalty in Aus. I watched Jim Read win Top Fuel & Funny Car at the Nationals in the same year. Love your work.
Wow! I remember going to Englishtown as a kid and was not allowed to go in the pits because I was told it was a state law that you had to have a drivers license. I was really upset because I could not get close to the cars or get any autographs. The drivers were my hero, and I could not meet them!
Congratulations congratulations brother thank you Rick ware and team good job racing and Jim o,good job on the win , winner winner chicken dinner thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Thank you buddy great history there
I was working on the track crew at Willowbank Raceway when Jim Read ran the first 300mph pass outside the USA and like Phil said the crowd went wild people were jumping up and down and screaming out. He is the Don Garlits of Australian drag racing.
Always nice hearing stories of other racers and the fun memories they have .Great video as always Clay , thanks for sharing
Great video. Clay the interviewer! 🙂
Love hearing about the history of how the racers got started, especially when family is a huge part of their success and life.
You guys think more in milliseconds than I do all day. That’s one reason I love post race stuff interviews, jacked up on adrenaline and spend 4 minutes describing 3 seconds! To be that hyped up is awesome. John Force is really funny! Love all you racers, doing the thing I dreamed of!
NOW THAT IS A TOP SHELF VIDEO ! THANK YOU CLAY ! 🇺🇲
Wow what a great interview, I will be at Vegas and Pomona from England. Just want to meet you all. You are all so great for the sport we all love. Now go win today.
Aussie stepping on that loud pedal. What is better to get the world together than to step on that load pedal. Can't wait for the next race. Good to see you Clay.
Excellent conversation,, Thank you fellas. We enjoyed listening in. 🙂
Clay saw you won the Wally again. Congrats and God Bless All of You. Your Sisters and Australia too 👍 🙏 ❤
Congrats on the win today Clay & Parts Plus team!
Clay… Thanks for the interview with Phil. Had to turn the volume up to understand with the accent. At the Midwest Nationals I was like…There’s Bruce…That’s not Bruce…He Looks kind of like Bruce. LOL
Winner winner chicken dinner. Congratulations on them 4 win lights today. Way to stomp on that loud pedal.
Clay congratulations on today's win. You and your team are awesome.
Clay I was there the night that Jim Reid broke the 5 second barrier at Castlreigh Speed way5.98 seconds for the Quarter, absolutely phenominal night
Great stories & history! So much we still want to know, lol!
Thanx !
Awesome! TY for sharing, Clay!
What a great video,I could’ve listened to you guys for hours…Good stuff!
AWESOME content!!!! Thanks for sharing the experiences of Top Fuel history. 🙏🙏🙏
If it wasn’t for TF racing, the Millican kids would have never met the Read kids! We are so blessed to have added to our race family this year!
Congrats on your win today!!!!!
Clay you are as talented at videoing as you are at Stomping That Loud Pedal and the stories in this video was PHENOMENAL AND FASCINATING AND FUN!!! You are able to put people at ease and open up to tell whatever story about whatever question you ask. You're absolutely legendary and in my humble opinion, one of the BEST in NHRA and you're definitely #1 with FANS and Sponsors. Friends with everyone and you're always smiling and Joyful and you always brighten my day . Much love to you and Mrs. Donna and your whole team/family 💞🤗💞 MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS EACH OF Y'ALL NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻AMEN 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I get goose bumps just reliving the moment
Great interview. Thank you for sharing the video.
Great show Phil & Clay!!!!
Phil Read goes back here in the UK to Phil riding for Yamaha on his 250CC whacking past the 500CC Manx Nortons, one ridden by Bill Ivy, my hero. He was a sight to see, there was only a 1000rpm power band then so he had 6 gears to account for this. I followed a DBD 34 BSA Goldy up to Snetterton and Brands Hatch to see Phil. The bike was running Castrol R too :) There is an interesting story about him, but I'll not bore you with that, but it does include the filming Of 007's Thunderball and a BSA 650CC Super Rocket :)
You seem to be confused about who this is?
I grew up next to a speedway rider on solo's the smell of Castrol R a plenty that glorious smell and the sounds . I graduated to help him push start the bike a Jawa putting ya hand in the tiny triangle flap between wheel & frame to push the choke I learned right quick how to or not to place fingers. Yet again another great walk down memory lane from one of the nicest racers Australia has so humble and knowledgeable thanks Clay & Phil for the chat .
@@Not_Built-Right You describe Clay to a tee. I am a Brit and love to see him race, what a driver too ! Ty for your interesting input, God bless :)
@@stephenpage-murray7226 Just talking about the name Phil Read. You seem a little dumb !!!
Would have been awesome if you could have made it over to our brand new track in Adelaide, South Australia, grand opening 21/22nd of October. I can’t wait to race there myself! 👍👍💥💥💥💥 Great video once again. 👌
That was another great video. Have seen that new track in Australia on youtube. It's a great looking track. Would love to put that on a bucket list. Stay safe and keep those videos coming.
Clay,Phil, and crew, y'all rock! Love the story. Peace
P.S. Awesome win Clay and team just watched it! Whoo-hoo

Great stories
Good morning Clay
😜👍🇦🇺
👍☕️☕️✌️
Maybe you should hire him to tune your car, can't do any worse than the last couple of weeks...
Cant wait for you to see the next couple of videos. Will be waiting on your comments 😁
@@claymillican25 Hi Clay ... just for your information ..... weight + loud peddle = terminal velocity
Our Momma taught us that if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything.
@@claymillican25 So the Aussie dude is helping out I take it, fantastic. Nice driving yesterday Clay, if it wasn't for you, it would have been over in E2. Great team win, the fact that Jim-O got your car to stick down that crappy left lane 3 rounds in a row was amazing...
@@TraceyMillican I'm sure your Mother is a wonderful lady, my Mom was as well. My Mom taught me to never be afraid to speak your mind, as long as you're speaking honestly. Nobody is above a little constructive criticism, which can inspire motivation which is one of the keys to success in sport. Cheers...
When are you going to come over to Australia Clay??? 🇦🇺🤔👍👍👍
About time you showed up down under (a press ganging may be in order).best interview so far😂👍👍🇦🇺🦘
Congrats on the win today. 🚦
Clay thoughts on when you do a sit down chat episode get some mics for clear hearing with so much background sound?
