Quickest First Day Pass Ever At Drag Week, But Did We Blow Up Steve's Motor?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Talk about a rollercoaster day! We started the day with the first full pass on the car since the fire, yep it's been that long! Sick Seconds 2.0 is the world's quickest street car, but she has really been fighting us lately. With a 6.03/249mph we have the lead of Drag Week 2022.
We waited to get on the road so we wouldn't be driving in the heat all day and Steve Morris suspected there was something going on in the motor, but we didn't know what. We made the checkpoints (and lost our tuning laptop, thanks Jonathan for finding it!!) and then stopped in at Richie Crampton's shop to pull the motor apart and see what we could find. Fortunately it was just a pinched ring in the piston.
Make sure you watch us on the Hot Rod Drag Week live stream today and throughout the week.

Unbelievable let me get this straight after yesterdays transmission fail, Today an IT drag and drive guy saw it on the road knew it was lost went back picked it up brought to the shop and also fixed it! As a bonus u have Steve Morris with u as copilot. Okay, Tom the powers that be are on your side your winning this thing for sure!
You know Tom is workin Steve's ass off when a tuner leaves his main tool on the roof!
I think Steve was more cooked than anything else. 🤔 And the thought of getting back in that hot car made him spaced.
32:15!! DUDE?? dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mega, SOMETHING!!!! can't rely on a single device for that work
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 Steve to the rescue.. awesome job from the I T guy
When they were interviewing the Swedish gentleman you can hear in the background the announcer reading an ad for the "nearly indestructible Gear Vendor". I wonder if they added the nearly after Alexs' run earlier in the day.
She breaks them regularly
@@christopherflynn5359 she says in the video the Gear Vendor's guy said she was the first person to break an input shaft on a GV. Not talking about the transmission, the Gear Vendor is a separate over drive unit that attaches to the back of the trans. A lot of drag and drive driver's use them because it significantly drops the rpm when they are cruising from track to track.
Know somebody that used to break a GV input once every couple years only on 2nd gear shift, started applying the a dump valve before the shift and hasnt happened since. Also found out thru video that there was minor tire shake coming in right at the shift, so now the hard shift and rattling the tires are gone its been smooth sailing for 3-4yrs now
@@ryanhoffmann9341 she breaks them regularly.
Yeah for sure lol she’s incredible though
Mr. Steve Morris you sir are a rock star. Tom and you are such a great pair, even grumpy, you guys are awesome. Thank You.
You heard the man..5.97 today.
Do it to it, gentleman.
Just another day & evening in Paradise… 👍💪🙏🥂
You got the best co pilot in the game...Steve will save the day...like he always does
Everytime make it look easy
Backup the laptop to the cloud, lots of options for that, but this way if it gets killed, just get a new one at the local store and suck your data down from the cloud, from anywhere by tethering to your cell phone, and presto back in business.
Always, always back up all final files to a pen drive, in the pocket. Dang, would havexa USB laptop drive in a case to back up to also in the trailer.
Wish I was there, would have fixed you up immediately, IT is my life.
Big props to Beretta Guy!!!
Hell ya,. The g's when you pull the chute via the incar footage is awesome
Production Value has always been good,..but this video sets the bar even HIGHER. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Tom! It’s a sign of a great week to come. Hope the rest is are all 5 second passes. 🤞🤞
Thanks for the nice summary Luke. You are really keeping the Drag and Drive fans updated. Enjoy the talk with all the drivers. Some really cool cars in the mix.
Thanks for the video sitting her watching my son sleep in hospital he was in a role over Saturday night and got 3 broken places in his neck one compounded fracture Vertebrate and broken shoulder blade so the video is a nice destination
Holy shit! Prayers for a speedy recovery to him…
@@OriginalMomo thank you. the lord was watching out could have been so much worse
Prayers for you both.
6.03 out of the box. This is gonna be interesting. Your teams hard work is appreciated...
Tom you crack me up!!!
Sneeking out from under the front end that way!!!
I like the way you do not take yourself too seriously!!!
Keep having fun, bud!!!
I love you guys' attitudes! Hope you finish the week with less headache.
Another great video ! Thanks for keeping us up to date. Love to see a 5 sec. pass, but that 6;03 was not too shabby ....lol.
Steve really LOVES himself ! HAhaha I love it too !! Great work guys , keep it up
It guy finds the Laptop is GOLD.
Great videos and good luck to Tom and Steve
Friggin Awesome. Mishaps build relationships and character. You guys rock. Sick.
Steve is real good a navigating folks down the 1/4 mile LOL
Glad you had an IT guy on hand to save your bacon. ALSO, the definition of a PERFECT example of "CHECK THE CAR BEFORE YOU DRIVE OFF!"
Last one to get in the car should be the one to walk around the car and check if anything might have been forgotten or unhooked or fell off.
Best of luck with the rest of the week guys.
IT guy came in clutch rescuing your tune off that NVMe drive!!! Mirror your tune folder on dropbox or onedrive next time!!!
Bahaha the laptop on the roof! Let's Go to the shop he has air conditioning! Good luck for the rest of the weeks! Thanks for the content!
That was a result on resurrecting the laptop hard drive. Loving these videos , I hope you catch a break and have a trouble free day soon 😎👍
Gotta love Steve "Merchandise sales, engine builder and tuner to the stars" 😂
Its so cool to see you guys doing this kind of stuff great content its two legends in the game
Sorry about all the crap you have been dealing with!! GREAT WORK keeping it alive and running FANTASTIC passes!! HOPE YOU WIN!!
5:30 "s0, we're going to put a new one in"
Translation "dad's going to put a new one in..."
You do realize that only the driver and co-pilot can work on the car at the track, don't you?, so yes, we means her and her dad, she probably knows more about cars than you do.
@@indianaslim4971 So, in your world, she can pull the Gearvendors, change the input shaft and reinstall it without dad's help? Really? I've never seen her touch a wrench. All I hear is snide remarks from her when someone else is wrenching!
@@c103110a yes in my world it's entirely possible she could fix it, unfortunately in your misogynistic world you can't fathom a female that grew up in a racing family and been racing herself for going on a decade now can't learn anything from her dad who is a respected fabricator/race car builder.
@@indianaslim4971 But, but, but, in my world, I watch Emily Williams of Flying Sparks Garage ACTUALLY changing engines! Not make believe as in your world...Alex is a driver and not a builder. I'm fine with that. But, she shouldn't say that "we're changing the input shaft in the Gearvendors". She should say, "My dad is changing the input shaft on the Gearvendors, so I can run a pass...." Right?
No wonder why you run a Steve Morris engine, guy is a real help out on the track with all that knowledge combined with your experience and driving
That's why I like about your channels both of you No matter how bad things are you keep on going The sick car It's going to go real fast Godspeed
That's crazy lucky, an IT guy that could probably all around fix and grab the hard drive to get Steve and Tom back on the road. Secondary drive or cloud storage would help get rid of that nightmare scenario in the future, or greatly reduce the loss of information.
You have got to love Steve’s confidence
The man is kind of a genious
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel
Every time Tom pops out from under that car, I giggle.
amazes me the lengths you guys go to to get the job done, SMX , tom and all the crew . i am behind you 100 % . can not wait to see the times you post each day .
Wow what a day full of adventure .
Steve is right he should stick with building .
And what luck with the laptop 😝💻
Pick up some ROHO adjustable air cushions , used on wheel chairs.
Comes in many sizes. Sold at any medical SUPPLY store. Most comfortable seat cushion in the World.
Let's go tom saw the live feed was a hell of a pass man good job
the lap top is hilarious..but you seem to be in a mood 🤣🤣
Love the chick fil a stop! Best!
Great video! Am I the only one who finds that Edward Jones investments sign hilarious 😂
Beretta guy could gotten the race tune off the hard drive in the damaged laptop if the drive wasnt crushed & put it on another laptop so you could reset the car !
He did!!
@@sickthemag Steve needs a Holster for that Laptop, or a Secret Service Agent to carry it in a case like the Nuclear Codes.
Amazing job keeping the scoreboards "in-frame," Thank you.
How insanely lucky is it that an IT guy finds the laptop and is able to tear it apart and retrieve the data? On Drag Week! Lol. Amazing. Big shoutout to Berretta Guy for being Johnny-On-The-Spot.
love it!! a true racer... it's rubbing just a little bit.. Proceeds to hacksaw his fender well...
Imagine being passenger with Tom....The BEST! Happy to see that laptop was recovered....I'm sure Steve is darn glad to have it for not only the programming but, also the Google Maps🤣
Thank you for taking us with you. That 6.03 really did my heart good. Also, good humor at 17 min, showing that Tesla with the sound of the real car in the lane next to it:)
Not possible here in Germany. That's why I love it. 5 seconds for the rest of the week!
Those all terrain tires on 2.0 look so awesome.
Man what luck a IT guy finds the computer and was able to recover the tune ..... Steve Morris you sir are a badass buddy .....
Amazing really, anyone else it would have been "She's running perfectly", but not Steve.. He really knows his babies....
I wish I would have known you was so close.. I would have called off work.
Super cool to see you guys pulling into my buddies place in Altamont, Illinois.. I'm sure Joe Cripe was super pumped !!
Like I always say, “ in life you need friends that do these 4 things. Attorney, doctor, mechanic, and an I.T. guy. 😂
Great video,great job so far.
I wonder why Cleetus isn't racing? He wasn't at LS Fest and now not doing Sick Week? It's like this is what I thought he built his Mullet/channel on. Lol
Cleetus is a soon-to-be Dad, who knows!
This is Drag Week, not Sick Week.
I lov how cool n collective, Tom is when faced with bad news!
Seems like a great guy 👦
Good luck! Get the W !!!
Tom I don't know who is doing videos but I'm very impressed. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Amazing how dialed Steve has that car to go that fast after 2 yrs !
Where is this person With the Bag Of Cash
What a great crew! Now all you need is some good luck to get through the week.
Glad to see everyone is having fun…Pinched ring…Well,all the Rods are still in it though…Awesome Stuff… Bob in USA.
couldn't get out to see you guys yesterday but was able to watch all day. hoping to be able to come out friday when yall come back through
Cool stuff 😎 👍. Enjoyed watching
Lol…Steve and Tom can fix anything going on with the car but having an IT guy coming along finding the laptop and fixing that ….can’t make this shit up !!!👍🏼
Right its almost like a higher power
Ubërly disappointed in the reactions at Chicka-Fer-Rey
And Steve and the Laptop 🤣🤣
TOO MUCH HEAT IS GETTING TOO YOU MAN.YOU SHOULD CONSIDER MAKING THAT THING DRINK DRY ICE.^^
Lol. Y’all are having fun that’s why I love watching yalll !!!!!!
I see why your selling it ! A lot of headaches ! You gotta love racing . Stay safe . Keith
I feckin love drag and drive all the best guys
Awesome 👌
The journey is the win. 🤘
As always bad ass Tom👑
Very nice choice of the spicy chicken deluxe. Oh and the 6 second pass at almost 250 was pretty sweet to
Piston swap lol. You guys are animals. 💪
Right just a quick piston swap
It's a bad ass car Tom, and it's got those signature TBM Squeaking A_ _ brakes on it. 😆 . But for real, they have GOT,, to be good brakes to stop you at speeds that fast, thats no doubt. GOOD JOB GUYS. You have a smart co/pilot for real..
They use parachutes.
It's all about finishing the week great pass same mph as Jeff Lutz in drag week 2017
Really impressed with your efforts lap top gd found 😄
If you are getting a super hard second gear shift , be sure and look for a broken accumulater spring and yes it is best to have the book and/or blueprint for that transmission
Poor Stevie's brain is fried.
Great action, great story telling and awesome characters! Tom / Steve you guys rock, salute 👍🧐
Looks like 8's are the new 10's...wow, so many fast cars. Amazing.
Steve is like Rainman, guy can build an engine in his sleep but lacks the comprehension to follow google maps...🤣🤣🤣
From PR this car is the other world
The (Google Thing) LMAO! Hey you made it! You guys rock!
Good thing you did NOT make 2 passes yesterday.
Put some suction mounts on the laptop. Tuners always use the top of car for laptop. If you forget it the sections will hold as long as it doesn't catch too much air
Congrats guys. I am surprised that you guys havent moved to E-gates. The precision, from what I have seen, is on point! Dome pressure regulation has so many variables that 5degrees in ambient temp can affect its performance. I am in NO WAY a specialist. I am a tinkerer and hobbyist racer. Just my 2 cents. Again, awesome vid and performance. Too bad for Taylor
So many Novas this year!! Love it!! Got a 71 in the garage right next to my K5
Great content thanks for sharing
Get Steve a lanyard for the laptop. 😁
good Lucky guys
Tom’s trailer probably ran over the laptop!
Jon is such a great guy
Rock and Roll Thanks for sharing 💯 Great first pass 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Thks for the coverage ..really enjoying this! Good luck ☆☆♤♤
Pickin up CHICs in the racecar!
Great coverage of you and the other racers, love to see Alex Taylor and Finnegan, as well as the Swedish racers.
