OOoooohhhh Lot's of onboard cameras!!! Sweeeeett!!!!
I know right? Flamethrower cam at 16:56 is my favorite.
You don't realize how serious business this is getting strapped into a nitromethane rocket until I see how methodical and serious your team is getting ready for a run, and then the last minute hand shake before you go really hit me.
It hit me too! Riding that beast is is no joke. You can only pray and trust your team, that each run is a good run.
So crazy how fast these cars go.. And dont they have to rebuild the motor each pass?
@@jeffklonowski6816 Yep. Typically in 45 minutes during eliminations.
@@jeffklonowski6816 Yup every pass, the engine gets a teardown.
We all secretly wish we had a team like this behind us to keep us safe and square.
What a beautiful thing. 😊
That Cleetus bodywork has to be worth at least 1,000 hp!
Or a crank trigger glitch mid track lol
@@claytonandrews251LMAO
beat me to it lol - Cleet definitely added to the ETs
Oh! For SURE!!!
Yup I'm definitely getting a cleetus sticker watch out streets here I come 😂
Please convey to Mr Ware, our great appreciation for permitting us to come along during test week. . .
AND to have the attempt to dyno the TF dragster!
what?
@@mafia631he is asking clay to say thank you the the boss man for letting clay, Brent and cleetus try to dyno the car aswell as letting them film the testing and other behind the scenes stuff.... very simple to see what he was saying g in his comment 🤦🏻♂️
I never seen(or noticed before) but we get to see that actual LOUD PEDAL STOMPIN' taking place.
LEGENDARY!
The neighbors got to be loving it can't wait see nitro at Bradenton
Dear Mr. Millican, how much does a jar of Miss Donna’s Nitro Salsa go for and is it available in *just the TIP of northern Idaho?*
Nitro Salsa seems like a great marketing angle and I'm sure it would sell well
I agree, we all need some nitro salsa for the win.
Do That!
I just found you because of Cleetus and 1320 and I've got to say that you are one hell of a good guy. I will be subscribing and watching all of your videos because you are so positive. Good luck this year and I will be rooting for you and your team.
For reference:
Mike Salinas' 300mph to the 1/8 pass was .842 to 60' and 2.091 to 330.
2.936 at 300.80. I firmly believe that Clay would have been the second person ever to 300 in the 1/8 mile had he stuck with it. That car was aggressive as all shit though.
.828 60' is absolutely unheard of. The rest of that timeslip would have been absolutely incredible.
Thanks for the data to put this run in perspective. Salinas was at .842 at 60'; Clay was at .828. Phenomenal!
Thanks for the info. New top fuel watcher here from way overseas.
Something puzzles me. Can you explain how the cars only accelerate another 30mph or so through the second half of the track?
@@HighMaintenancePS The cars are already moving so fast that they cover the back half of the track (660 feet to 1000 feet) in well under a second. If they were still racing to the quarter mile, we would have seen 340 in 2016 when Robert Hight went 337.66 in Topeka.
Gravity. Its the law. Not enough past halfway. @@HighMaintenancePS
Thanks for having Brent along for the ride helping film,the two of you are killing it with your coverage this week
As the father of a boy on the spectrum, I really appreciate you wearing the helmet with the autism logo.
Racing is just a mild form of autism.
Thanks for being a rad dad. From an old adhd bloke. It matters.
I was thinking the same. My daughter is in the spectrum 🧩
I concur on that. ❤️
Father of two lil' girls on the spectrum here.
🤜 🔥 That's exactly what I came to tell Clay , My channel is for my 10 y.o. nonverbal son on the spectrum. You rock Clay!
Best Wishes to the Rick Ware Racing Top Fuel Team.
Thank You to all the sponsors.
Brent, I know you’re living the dream here, but thank you for filming all this. I always enjoy your commentary and camera work.
On board camera, WOW. Wish the team all the best this weekend, truly excited about the weekend. Keeping us up to date, would be greatly appreciated! No FloRacing here sadly.
Weeeeeeeeeee!!! Digging the foot cam!!
That's hand grab right before the pass... That's intense. My anxiety went up just watching the strap in process. Great stuff guys! Over here from the Cleetus channel.
I said the exact same thing before I saw your comment. That was very emotional seeing him strapped in.
3 minutes in, and I have to say Clay, the in car view is great!
It was interesting to see you get strapped in. It totally kicked in my claustrophobia. Keep it loud!
I know dude had to have a tool too tighten the straps insane tight in their love it.
Clay seems such a chilled guy proper racing legend 👌🏻👊🏻🇬🇧plus you went your fastest pass because of the cleetus livery
Thank you for taking us along, and Thank Brent for helping you get some great footage. Keep stompin on that LOUD pedal !!!
The look on Brent's face says it all. He wasn't smiling you know he's shocked lol. Go get that 250
I like how you have put your trust in this team to grow into their new assignments and deliver you a fast rail!! LETSGO!!
Watching you get ready, is like, you are getting ready to go to space. All the straps/belts/etc. Gotta be safe though. Good luck, stomp on that loud pedal and bring home the money. Love the new camera angles. Really shows, just how busy you are, during a run. Is it me, or can you see the ground from the cockpit?
I wish I could see this in person.. One of the bucket list dreams of a poor man!
It is worth it. The experience in real life is indescribable to someone who hasn't been. You have to live it, to understand the thumbing of these engines from hundreds of feet away of your body, breathing nitro and having up close access to a team of professionals rebuilding a hot car in 30-45 minutes.
Mr Clay Millican your 1 Bad Dude!!!!!!! Words videos do not do any justice to how insane your topfuel car is!!!!!
Hello Clay
Good run, that was fast. You're killing it. Nice cockpit view. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Drive safe 👍👍👍
Wow 33000 views in 3 1/2 hours this video is doing damn good Clay 💪... Nice work and as always nice driving sir.. stomping on that pedal like nobody's business
Thank you for letting us ride along Clay and RWR! Ya'll are awesome! 🔥💯💪🏆
I wonder what a 360° camera mounted on the wheelie bar or the wing could capture. Especially on an extended mount. I've seen a couple 360° videos of dragsters, but they're kinda lower quality.
I am new here but plzzzz keep making videos like this!!!!!!! also how does one get in a place to work on a car like yours as a job???
I never knew the face shield had peripheral blinders on it. Only allowing you to see directly ahead.
Foot shot coolest Sh!t ever.
Your going to give your buddy Jeff Lutz the itch to climb in one of these long pointy cars!
Great channel Clay . Subscribed. Came from Cleetus channel
Awesome stuff Clay! Big thanks to Brent for capturing it! Can't miss his laugh and energy anywhere!
Ya know i quit watching top fuel due to broadcast tv sucks. This i can watch!.
Hope you all kick some butt this year. You had a good year last year but this looks to be a great year for you and the great team you have. Jimbo knows how to make that car go.
Clay, between getting strapped in and your foot work was so cool to see. thank Brent for youtubing with you. As always thanks for taking us along!!!
Seeing Nicky Bonninfante skulking around the pits with RWR swag on. Adding to the brain trust?
Nicky was added to the team in the offseason.
I absolutely love your enthusiasm. It was actually emotional seeing you getting strapped in. So cool when the guy gave you his hand to grab at the end of tighten your belts up.
As you always say - "HOLY MOLEY" - What a run!!...I've got a few 'TAG" line suggestions for your 2024 year - "CAPTAIN LOUD PEDAL", "CAPTAIN CLAY" (My favorite BTW).....Enjoyed this video IMMENSELY!! Look forward to seeing you live at a few races this year, especially the TEXAS MOTORPLEX (my home track).. Thanks Clay - Say hi to Donna and your dogs for me..")
Great job Clay and team. Who was it that ran the full pull? I missed who it was.
This is the best video unleashed to date! !!!
All I can say is that is awesome. I'm sure you will have a great year. LET'S GO!!! I see that you have gained a couple new subs in the last few days. You deserve many more.
Let's Go! I will see you in person with in the next year. Need to see you, RWR and the Parts Plus Team Stomp on that LOUD pedal!
I have a lot of admiration for Clay,his crew, and his sponsors. I started my 20 year over the road truck career with Werner and was grateful for the opportunity given to me by C.L. and his sons, especially Greg who I learned a lot from about being a safe and reliable driver. Well done.
I saw that 2.08 330' pop up on live timing and thought damn , it was on a run!
Brent's the man. 🤙
Livin the dream.
I see Clay posted a video and I watch
We need to get Clays' subs up!!
Clay, that was beautiful. I think this year is your year again. God bless your brother.
As I keep saying, I absolutely love all the extra camera angles you’re doing!! Audio is excellent as well!!!
Wish I was at this race but man oh man.. I’m glad this event is happening !!!! :)
Awesome runs Clay! Going to be a great weekend! 💪🤘
I pray that you will have the best year of your life in 2024
Amazing inside cab video! Clay please explain what it feels like launching.
I’m looking forward to this year , and the cockpit vlog is amazing, thanks for a camera man on the week,,, thanks classic clay new year, thanks BigAl California.
Subbed simply because of how awesome Clay is for the racing community and making things happen for other people! Never had a "favorite" driver. Clay sure has earned that status!!
Hello Clay. That is one fast dragster. I loved the placement of the camera's some awesome footage. There's so much going on in the cockpit of that dragster in them 3 seconds it's crazy. Your dam fast in that rocket of a dragster it's unbelievable. I'm with Brent about the shock and awe of the quickness speed the hole rip. Awesome video Clay and Brent.
Another great video Clay. Thanks. Maybe 100K subscribers this year???
That looked utterly terrifying, WOW. You strap yourself onto a bomb and press the detonator aka loud pedal.Clay you’re nuts🤣🤣🤣.
Brent's face. 😂😂😂😂
Awesome job guys.
Very cool camera angles
Awesome Had to skip back a few times at 17:10. The camera mount behind the engine was sick. Seeing the flames Just hearing them in person has gtta be insane
At 1715 he's gone to plaid. .. .
Unbelievable numbers. Reaction time, 60 foot, 1/8 mile speed. All hard to comprehend. Also the amount of work between runs is astounding. Not for the faint of heart.
All hands to thank Rick ware for let them come play at Bradenton, nice , share people, share, clay is a good ol boy , and could use it , for us,….thanks BigAl California.
Probably the best in car video, with explanations, I remember seeing.
Brings together much of what y’all have described previously.
Seeing Clay acknowledge everyone, before getting into the car, makes me think, it’s probably part of his own mental checklist, and his recognition of the importance of everyone on the team, for the part they play.
Reminded me of launching aircraft, in the military.
Thanks, Clay!
#stomponthatloudpedal
Thanks, Rick Ware Racing crew
I don't even know how your butt dyno can keep up with that
This is what brought me to your channel, wanting to see more of the behind the scenes of pro/top fuel racing! Your videos get better and better each time!
That is a bad ass view of Clay climbing in and being strapped in. So cool to see how this works.
Who pays for this operation? I know he had sponsors but do they cover the bill, he got quite the number of staff and nothing looks cheap. How much is this venture costing him per day?
Must have learned something from that 35hp dyno pull at Cletus and company. LOL!
Clay, Do the parachutes deploy automatically? With the new in car camera (so cool!) I don´t see you pulling them.
I absolutely love and appreciate all the behind the scenes workings! Clay, you and your team never cease to amaze me with the passion and genuine-ness you all exude!
Stepped up the camera views, it seems! Great video from my hometown track!
Clay. You said it best at the end”rocket ship”. Loved the view of your foot work. I’ve always wondered about it. Keep up the great videos and good luck this season. Always a fan. Been my driver since way back.
.8 sec 60 ft. Clay, "It seemed a little lazy at the start"
Top Fuel is a whole 'nuther dimension lol.
Clay is the coolest man in drag racing.
Seeing you on everyone's channels, you seem like a really cool dude. I'm subscribing.
You’ve been racing top fuel for a long while now are there things on your car that are different because that’s what you’re comfortable with and other drivers may consider the old way of doing things.
Clay I have seen you on a few videos and thought man what a cool dude . This video really expresses that . I like how you show this in cockpit video. I would like to know what all crew is doing and what you are doing inside. Thanks a ton for cool video. Your smile and attitude is awesome
Watch the previous videos he tells you everything
@@danhiggins7798 I did I don't remember seeing that
Running a 4.54 to the 1000’ at 188 mph letting off around the 330’ is insane
AHHHHH No cutie pie clutch girl this year... Not gonna be thee same. Its like loseing a sister.
Earned my sub since i saw the cleetus video.. such an insane machine. Look forward to all your future content.
You're doing something really awesome. Thank you.
Love the channel. I'm new here and will be coming back for more great content. Thank you
Fun to see the belting process sometimes… shit gets real once those belts come down
Brett behind the camera let’s goooooo!!!❤❤❤❤🤘🏻😎🇺🇸
It was such a rocket ship because of all the dyno time earlier. 😂. Nice runs. I'm super excited for the season. Go get those Wallys.
Sounds like you're shooting a Vulkan minigun or something when you're on the throttle for that thing.
This is your year Clay! Can’t wait to see you stomp on that loud pedal in 2024. Great video showing your feet on that run. Amazing perspective.
What a video!
So cool to see all that goes on in the cockpit.
Much success and safety this season.
Keep that right foot stomping!
So cool to see what goes into makeung these fire breathing monster go down the track!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Does Clint Eastwood have a short younger brother from another mother? 😂
those carbon sidepanels are probably costing quite a bit of cash but i wouldnt be supprized if cleetus ends up buying on of those side to hang in his office next to a big picture of the dragster during a launch
All 8 holes lit against the Florida Sunset that was a sweet shot...Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!!
It's gotta be such a crazy feeling when your paycheck hits the bank and ya think I get paid to do this! You're the man clay . And ya gotta love hearing the world's biggest and best cheerleader Brent over a top fuel car!
the sound those engines make is insane!
hell yeah brother!!
This is really great content. I hope yall keep bringing it to us throughout the year. Good luck to you sir.
must have been that Cleetus tune on the dyno that did it😁 never gets old watching a horizonal rocket ship.
Appreciate your videos. I also like that you always seem to be having a great time, smile on your face. Nice to see Jeff Lutz enjoying some time at the track as well. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
