It’s crazy you guys have to keep explaining this. I met y’all in magnolia and went to your mom first to ask when was appropriate to ask for pictures or talk. She said as long as your not in the car, under the hood or on a laptop it’s probably cool. When I approached you guys in your pits I asked if now was a good time. Got my pictures made a little small talk and bounced. It was really nice. Made my night actually. But the kids, man every kid there was really excited to met y’all and they all thought you guys were the coolest.
I had the EXACT SAME interaction with the whole family! Great people!
They are the "coolest" 2nd to none on YT
Perfectly done ! 👍🏻
Yes crazy people don’t get that
Never make me believe there mean people
My older son got to talk to Tommy at Magnolia and said he wanted to race against the falcon with his Powerwheels Mustang. Tommy completely played along with it and that absolutely made my son's night.
I remember! It was adorable haha
❤
would love to see jimmy dale at mags!
I understand when you're at home that is you're private life when you're racing that is when you should approached
That’s awesome tell that little feller he blew the Internet up !!!! I am politely calling that little feller out for a race ,,,!!!?????? Time any Place ,,, Mexico, of course
I wanna see uncle Bob be a guest on your show. That would be awesome.
I agree
I agree 💯
Id love to hear a sit down with Big Rob and hear his story.
Me too 😂
I'm not going to lie, but the post with Julie really got me emotional. What you guys are doing for that family is unheard of these days. Good job, scr family.
I would love to see you bring your mom on the pod cast. Get her perspective on both of your racing careers from the beginning. Would be interesting to see her pov.
Id 2nd that
Absolutely
Yep I vote for mom on the next one 👍
Yes to having both parents on the pod cast. But not together.
Mark at A1 Auto Parts, Uncle Bob Mcvay, Rob and Kenny, Uncle Jeremy, CJ Buckner and his wife, and "It Is What It Is" Turbo John.😂
I would like to see Perry (Nova) and Sherm (New Chevelle) on the podcast. Thanks for Sharing Boys.
The whole fan encounter talk is so relatable. I’ll have people come up while I’m changing tires and want to chat it up and I’ve almost forgot to tighten my wheels back down. Or I’m getting in the car and they want me to get out to take a picture. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that a lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be at the track. Or how it works. They think we’re just hanging out going to do a run whenever. When I’m reality if I’m getting in my car it’s because I need to go to the line right now. I don’t have 5 minutes to spare. It’s a struggle for sure. I wish I could spend 30 minutes a person talking to everyone. But it’s just not possible.
I think everyone who does this has been short with someone at some point. And it sucks because you know that’s their one interaction with you. And they’re going to think you’re a bad person pretending. But the reality is there’s so much going on.
The video with Julie was tough for me. I have a daughter named Julie and I couldn’t imagine having any of my children being sick. I’m also dealing with a sibling who has stage four kidney cancer. Thank you for the podcast Billy and Tommy. Your parents raised two fine young men.
Turbo John posted a video yesterday talking about this very issue. The truth is that racing is competitive and it is going to attract those people who have more money, because they want to win. The other issue is the bigger the money purse, the more competitive cars are going to be attracted to that race. There probably needs to be a sorting out of cars by rules, or the car count is going to dwindle as you said. Unless you just want to race, someone with a streetable car is wasting their time going to war of the woods. Those people need to concentrate their efforts at smaller purse races.
I'm not complaining but the Turbo John vid and this vid your both talking about the "big" guys. When in all honesty, you guys are the big guys. You have 3 cars that can get in the 4's. Nothing about them is budget. TJ is for sure a bear at most no preps also. I get there are guys faster, but the majority are just trying to get to your level. ( which is fast!!)
@@michaelcummings1862 Yep, agreed. I can't afford to build a, $20K-$30K-$40K engine for my ride, every time I turn around!
@@Anarchy-Is-LibertyYou really think that's what they have in their rebuilds?
@RustyWells2
Don't get me wrong, I've met the src guys and TJ. And they are great people and I'm not gripping about them. But the src team has a complete machine shop with engine dyno and employees on their payroll.
TJ just did a c
Fresh in up in his aluminum sbc that has billet rods, top fuel hoops, roller thrust bearing, ect. Does all that sound like your typical budget freshen up?
@@RustyWells2 They have a whole machine shop on retainer….That’s more than most…
Thanks for these podcast guys , you have to try to do a podcast with Chief and Jackie !!!!! That would explode the racing internet !!!!
💯
Would love to see Nick on here. Talk about a hard ass worker.
Both Nick's should come on both hard working guys!
I agree, 100% with all of nicks issues he is one of the hardest, most determined dedicated 110% hardest working Feller you can meet good dude
Could you imagine the length of that video. We’d get 1 question answered in a hour the way Nick trails off. 😂😂❤❤
@johnk3930 I like Nick but his biggest problem is constantly his mind/setup
Exactly why bracket racing will never go away
You guys and ur family are the same as the rest of us, and deserve the same space and respect as we expect on any normal day. 🤙😎🇺🇸
Ryan Mitchell has mentioned he’s raced at all levels. It would be cool to have him on here and see what his take on the rules and small tire racing is since he is in the top tier right now but has came up from the bottom. Steven Little would be cool to have on as well since you have a little bit of a rivalry with him and the fact that he has only been around the last 3-5 years so he has had to either sink or swim to be as competitive as he is.
Good points I hadn't thought of.
@@RustyWells2 both good people when not say on laptop or suiting up to race, imagine Ryan gas that car since he's 17, been from nitrous to now prochager...he would like talking to BEATERBOMB...chilled out...Steve Little is chilled out to...most of the top races seem to have the calmed, nothing bothering them vibe....
People need to learn to respect ya'lls privacy while at home. It's one thing in public but your home that is crossing the line. Love what tou guys are doing. Keep em coming.
I'd like to see y'all get turbo John or C.J. on the podcast. I'm from Florida, and I've met y'all at a Cincy Street night. I also got y'all to sign a Stripper Glider shirt that night and got bit by June pup. People have to use common sense when approaching a racer at a race. If yall are trying to get the cars ready, that's not a good time. Also, don't try and shake your dad's hand while June pup is with him. She will bite you, nothing against her she's just very protective about your dad.
Nope, guys, Julie's video is not heavy at all , fkn love it. It's life and friends AMERICANS HELPING! IT'S simple love. Don't stop. Save the camero like a fox body. Really, everyone has one.
It’s pretty heavy. There’s no way to make it not heavy.
Another great podcast guys. Prayers for Julie. What you guys put together for her was just awesome. Stay humble fellas.
I think you’re totally right Tommy. Work the system and do a video of the top crashes of the year and add the ride along at the end. Either way it’s great what you guys are doing.
Loving these Podcasts. Love hearing the stories from you guys. Can’t wait to see who comes on in the future. Great job guys!! People need to realize that you guys are busy at the track and to the people that just pull up to The Old Man’s house, they are nuts. You never know what kind of mood he is in. Lol. Keep them coming guys.
Glad to see someone actually explaining there side of being well known and how to communicate with you when people do see you. It’s not arrogance it’s respect for one another.
100% agree we could split small tire depending on location/ event
They kinda already do. Second chance race. That's twice the races and time. Should not be a big deal...
You aren't old enough to have seen the cycle repeat itself over and over. A new cool class comes along and it's a grass roots deal, low budget and a ton of fun. BECAUSE it's grass roots and low budget, it takes off like wild fire. There are two things that attract the big money guys. Big purses, and heads up format. The INSTANT there's a big heads up event that pays well, the decline begins. The big budget teams steam roll the guys who started it, and it slowly dies from there. It happened with ORSCA in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's been happening to radial racing, and now it's happening in the no prep world. It's the nature of heads up racing. The big budget folks will ALWAYS destroy it for the budget racers. The ONLY way you'll ever slow that down is keeping purses low enough to prevent big budget guys from getting interested, and you have to go down the nightmare road of having a ridiculous number of rules. Even then, you won't stop the cycle, but you can slow it down.
Well said so very well said
You are exactly right in what you said. Even with stringent rules, money finds a way to stretch them and find an advantage. On the other hand there are guys like Ryan Mitchell (KC Max) that has a business and a dyno. He is going to be a winner because he has some advantages and that is just life in the fast lane.
@davidanderson6486 The src team has a complete machine shop with a dyno as well. They also have 3 cars (1 built just for this) and a good crew. They have made their living off of no prep. Street racing might be cool, but probably doesn't pay as well as some no prep. I hope they have thought about all this for future plans no matter what the class does. Their filming and editing is unreal for learning on the fly. I really hope that can take them far if the no prep slows down.
I think you should have to run hood and fenders/ the whole car
Boom…..,
Indeed brother!
Surprised no one has a Leroy out on the streets
I agree, if you roll up with no front end. Should be DQ'd
i really dont think the little bit of weight savings is worth the massive loss in aero. cleetus mcfarland did a video taking some of his cars to a wind tunnel and leroy the bodyless vette was horrible. to the point it would be faster with the body
I would wanna sit and listen to Lewie talk about his life,kids,grandkids and his love for mototrsports and Old Rides and how he feels about fixing to be a great grandfather. It all Started with Lewie and Mrs.Kathy and has blossomed into what it is now. Would be interesting to hear his thoughts in his own words.
"Take us to candy mountain Charrrrlie"
"They took my freakin kidney!!!"
😂
We appreciate you guys. 2 young gentlemen and scholars making a living doin what they enjoy doin. Keep atter boyz.
I’ve waited 7 years and you!! Got to meet Mom and dad at Newport for my wife’s 50 th they took pictures and your mom bought signs. My wife was so happy.
Billy ain't wrong about selling drugs. It was rampant in the 90s too. Even more so back then from what I saw \ know.
I was parked by y'all at brown co. Billy was in trailer by himself when me and my gf was leaving about 1am. I wanted to go meet ya but at the same time I was like nah cause that's just weird or rude. People these days I swear. But I met Tommy and what a genuine guy for real.
That video made tears come to so many people’s eyes ❤ we are praying for her and God Bless SRC
You guys do an amazing job and have a wonderful family. Sadly, the days of people having common sense and being courteous, respectful and understanding are a thing of the past.
As long as the focus is expanding the sport. I don't think you can make a "wrong" decision.
The bigger the sport, the better it is for professional racers.
Yep popularity always ruins everything!
Great job on explaining small tyer running.Also explaining your time.Uncle Bucko would be entertaining.Cheers Stephen🇦🇺
The fact that you two even think about how you are perceived and recognize sometimes you just do not feel like, or have time to fan visit is cool. It will help your fans to maybe start by asking if are you busy, or something to show respect of your time, and let you know they are willing to wait.
Guys, please dont let the # of view make you shy away from posting content. I think I can say with confidence that the majority of folks that watch this channel are going to watch it anyway. Some people are kind of easy to read, and you two are no exception. Hard working, thrill loving, good hearted guys who happen to have invited us along for this part of your lives. I thank you guys for that. I'll be patiently be waiting for the next vid.
That was a very good podcast talk about all the topics very well done guy’s listening to just y’all was very cool . You guys are solid people and the things you have done and are doing. And btw I really enjoyed what you guys have done for the young mom and her family during the worst nightmare of their lives . Live on SRC YA’LL ARE VERY COOL 😎.
Awesome vid guys💯👍👍, Turbo John Boosted GT, KC Maxx would be awesome to see on the podcast👍.
You fellas are doing great things, keep the content on all 4 pages
Billy, you could invest in some land and put your own road down for testing. Charge other racers to make hits as well.
Sounds like a good idea until the insurance company get's involved.
That sounds like a race track or airstrip…Those exist. Lol. And allow private rentals already. So what you are asking him to invest in, literally exists.
You have no idea what a cluster @#$% that would be. Insurance for sure. But invest? That's not an investment. That's a financial nightmare!
Very good knowledge and love to hear y'all talk and go back and forth about the changes or none changes that could improve the the sport.
This is wild. Racing has seen this play out already with Big Tire😮 Glad this Podcast is taking off. Word On The Streets is perfect!
There's so much I wanna say, but it would be like typing a book! All positive of course, I have nothing but full respect for you two! I'm in Raleigh NC about an hour and a half from Rockingham, high hopes of meeting y'all and I wouldn't grab you out from under the car just to say, HEY THERE, WHATCHA DOING? 🖐️🤓Duh huh!
I've watched this channel grow and I believe it's the most well known channel on RUclips! Y'all created the best out there! The video of the girl with cancer was emotional and heartfelt, my girlfriend Karen is a breast cancer survivor and it really brought tears to my eyes to see the greatness of what you did! I of course bought a pink SRC cancer support t-shirt!! You kids are freaking AWESOME! Love y'all man!
Never apologize for living your lives. You do great stuff with your platform and your video with the young lady was absolutely one of the best videos and greatest uses of your platform. It made me proud to be a follower and glad to be able to help. Thank you both and your families for what you do and God bless.
You guys are truly legit! Not just racing but truly good people! Much respect! Can’t wait to make the drive to see y’all again!
Good talk guys. Really like seeing these, even when it’s just the two of you. Was great to hear y’all’s take on where you feel things are going. Well done!!!! Thanks for all of the family being who each one is. Y’all are GREAT!!
Really enjoy watching these, not much of podcast guy, until now. Alot or relatable content. Keep up the great work guys.
I must say it was wonderful to hear what you guys are saying. I must say each and everyone in your family was very patient and open when we were able to meet them in brockport, NY. Much love to you boys and your family.
Thanks for the update, love you guys
Thanks guys. Really enjoyed the show. Glad the fund raising is going good. Good luck at the next race and stay safe.
Awesome podcast keep up the great work
People need to remember that you are everyday people that are going through life and just don’t your thing
Man love rhe fact you guys keep preaching for us blue caller people that are just there for fun traditions and to meet pople
I watched it this morning and loved it ....was alittle different but still top shelf in my book love u guys keep up the good work
Thank you guys for all you do!
I don't think any of yall are assholes. I haven't met yall and even though I've been watching for years there is no way I should expect yall to allow me into private areas of your lives. At the end of the day I don't know you from Adam, I just know what you do for a living. There is no need to apologize for someone else invading your privacy. Keep doing what yall have been doing, I personally love the content. And hopefully one day I'll get to make a race when yall come down to Texas. Great job guys!
I would like to see you guys get Ryan Mitchell, and Rank. Maybe limpy and happy. Chief and Jackie,
I think one with Ryan and do like a deep tech dive would be 🔥
Have seen you guys twice at 42 did talk to your mom which was nice, I understand the right time. Julie video was awesome, my grandma died of that at 48 so we definitely are going to help with that. Keep up the amazing work your doing God bless
Charlie the unicorn with the starfish!😂 I forgot all about that!
I can not believe two brothers are sitting here , and talking to each other like normal human beings , and sharing each other's lives , You just do not see this around no more , specially I have never seen it my time , That is because you have a great mom and pop and close family , That is great my friends 🕶
Love watching your videos and enjoying the podcast. People have to learn to respect your time and safety while racing. You can’t please everyone
100 % of the time. We owned a daycare with wood mulch around the playground equipment and sod for the rest of the fenced in area. Had a mother complain her kid had grass stains on his pants. Keep up all the hard work!!!!
When i met y'all at Ozark Raceway I kept stopping by your pit. But i tried not to get in the way if you were getting ready to race. When Billy and Vicki were setting up the new canopy over the Nova I jumped in to help. Then Tommy another time saw me standing there where gassing up the Falcon and asked me to hold the funnel for him.. then as it's dripping on my foot tells me the funnel leaks. Hahaha Then on the last day helped put totes under the trailer and take down the merch canopy as the rain was starting. I had a blast and was happy to help where I could. And i got to meet and talk to you all and get autographs on 3 of the 4 shirts. I did get to meet Bill, but didn't get his autograph on my old man shirt. In the end I'm just glad y'all came to race close to me and i could come oitch my tent and spend the weekend.
Thanks~~Dave
I watched the ride along video 2 times in a row the day you released it! 🙏🙏 for her!
Man you guys just keep doing you! Anybody that don't understand can eat one.. I came to the race in Crossville a couple years back just to watch you guys race. I bought some merch and talked to your mom and Kenny for a few minutes at the tent but when you guys were around there close while you were in line to run I didn't want to bother you guys so I didn't even approach for an autograph or just to say hi because I didn't feel like it was appropriate. And I understood that. Any legit person should understand too and if somebody don't then they're not a real fan. You guys, and your dad's channels are my go to on RUclips. Keep up the great work! It's been awesome watching your guys's program grow. Oh and Billy congrats on becoming a father. As much as you love drag racing knowing the love of a child will definitely change your life!
Let's Goooooo!
I've traveled from Georgia to Ohio to watch you guys race, 4 times now. I've never even spoke to y'all. I understand y'all are at work and time is of essence.
With that said, keep doing yalls thang. I'ma support you guys no matter what!
You guys are awesome!!! I wish you and yours the best!!!
I think all y'all's vehicles are doing really well
Your doing what my fellow Naval Aviators do when flying. We prioritize what needs to be done, preflight to get the mission going and go thru checklists to get aircraft ready for flight (race car in your case). We don’t let external forces or well meaning folks derail this process. This could get you or a fellow competitor hurt or worse. Might be worth getting some crowd control posts to keep folks out of the pits when getting ready for racing. These can be taken down when you are able to chat with fans.
Enjoy your talks and have learned all about motors with your families!
Love yall, keep on living the dream boys!
I understand totally where you are coming from.
I was at the hot rod reunion racing my nostalgic gasser.
A guy approached me and said he came from London England to see my car race.
I was surprised that he recognized me. I told him to get in my car and I took him down the end of the track and turned around and did a big burn out. He was so happy and it made my day and his whole trip.
Keep it up. You guys are great. The only negative is you are starting to slip in the F word and so I can't watch it when my wife is around.
She used to look forward to your videos.
Great video guys. Love to see y'all chopping it up.
The selling insurance part made me die 😂😂😂
Horse racing has an interesting concept. Claiming races horses are grouped into classes according to agreed on dollar values. If you're in the $5k class your vehicle can be purchased for 5k
That's kinda been tried before with race cars... And I think it's a cool idea
Not necessarily a car claimer rule but a threshold of engine value.., say 5k or 10k, depending on how the class is structured. Put a $ price on an engine and people won’t be pushing cars with billet blocks into the lanes knowing that that bullet could be bought for 5 or 10k.
I'll do a 455 Oldsmobile against your "350" Chevrolet any day! That's how this works
I for one am glad I bought 2 sweatshirts after my sister passed in July to cancer I want to help those I can with any type of cancer. You guys are amazing at doing what you can to help people when you can and that shows how real and down to earth y’all are, one of these days I would love to come meet the whole family because your family has helped me through a lot through the years! God bless you
Thank you for taking the time to share with us🏁🏁
You guy's are awesome . Keep up the good work
Y'all keep up the great work! You're both good kids and a lot of us notice and appreciate what you do for other people and how much time and dedication you put into the work you do. We are keeping Julie and her family in ours prayers.
With small tire, I don't see it being dead. I just think that you have some people that have gotten really good at what they do and there isn't much room left for people that don't do it for a living and just want to have fun and maybe get lucky once in a while. Keep up the great work guys!
Turbo John. He has not only just been around a long time but just started talking about changes to avoid small tire dying like so many classes have from the past
Truly love this channel as much as the other 3....-
Yall are doing great just keep doing what you're doing
Completely understand them about random people following them and talking at the wrong time , you seem real and down to earth people 👍🏻 would love to meet you lot someday when the times right
You guys are awesome. I wish people would put their selves who approach you in your shoes. Y’all gotta be safe and put on a show for us. Y’all keep doin what y’all doin!!!🎉 Keep it as close to how y’all started as y’all can!!! Y’all will continue to thrive 🤟😎🤟
Thanks so much for sharing your world with us!!! Stay true to yourself and take care of your family!!! Oh yeah and NEVER LIFT
I think you guys do an awsome job at what you do, you can be very proud of yourselves.
I like it back-in-the-day Billy and his Dad when he get his dad mad by aggravating him it was so funny
Great one you guys!
Enjoyable podcast guys. Thank you.

Keep up the Great Work 👍
Thanx for sharing your thoughts 👍
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless You and your Family and Team
Oh man... I like my Mopars, but you are 100% right about the guys wearing the old Mopar shirts. The boomer Mopar shirts with the with the red yellow blue stripes from circa 1995 are the funniest.
I watched you all from the beginning and totally understand the situation it was a big change to turn famous so quick you all are doing awesome and love podcast love y’all
Me and my gf drove 10 hours from canada to war in the woods to see you guys race. I even got a pic with Tommy up on the hill. Def cool seeing everything in person.
Great wok...thank you
Audio was perfect this time. 👌🏼 Great job as always fellas!
I really love everything you guys and your families do! I prayed to win a day with you all , but oh well didn’t win lol Thanks guys!
I see yall at the at the track and give ya the thumbs up because I know you're busy. Plus I'm scared of scrappy... And your dad.😂
You guys talking about the ride along video took me back to just the other day when I watched it. God bless the woman. F cancer. I lost my father to cancer then my stepfather to that crap. God bless her and Alger family and y’all for what you are doing
Loved watching this podcast keep it up guys
It was heart touching and very proud of y’all
Thanks for another great video 😊 I have came and watch you all couple times this year and been wanting to meet you all but I'm not going to bother you all at the race track cause I know you all are to busy with your car's ect.
